1. A method for providing content using a marker by an electronic device, the method comprising:
based on an application related to the content being executed, splitting a screen of a display module of the electronic device of a first user into a plurality of screen areas;
obtaining, by a processor of the electronic device, an image for a first marker through a camera of the electronic device;
obtaining, by the processor, a first content corresponding to the first marker and a position of the first marker, based on the image;
based on information received from an external electronic device of a second user, obtaining, by the processor, a second content corresponding to a second marker and a position of the second marker, wherein the second content corresponding to the second marker and the position of the second marker is obtained based on an image for the second marker, the image for the second marker being obtained by a camera of the external electronic device;
based on the position of the first marker and the position of the second marker, obtaining, by the processor, a third content by combining the first content and the second content; and
displaying, through the display module, the third content on a first screen area and a second screen area, the first screen area corresponding to the position of the first marker and the second screen area corresponding to the position of the second marker being included in the plurality of screen areas,
wherein the method further comprises:
when the first screen area corresponding to the position of the first marker is identical to the second screen area corresponding to the position of the second marker, assigning, by the processor, a higher priority to a marker, between the first marker and the second marker, in a position obtained earlier of the position of the first marker and the position of the second marker; and
displaying, through the display module by the processor, only a content corresponding to the marker to which the higher priority is applied between the first content and the second content, wherein the content corresponding to the marker to which the higher priority is applied is displayed through a display module of the external electronic device.
