46 Claims

1. An augmented reality (AR) providing device for AR services, the AR providing device comprising:

a display; and

a processor,

wherein the processor is configured to:

provide content through an AR screen,

detect a specified external object through the AR screen while providing the content,

determine a display mode for providing the content, based on the detection of the specified external object, and

based on the determined display mode, perform control to display the content through a display of the specified external object or perform control to display the content through a virtual display area associated with the specified external object on the AR screen.

21. An electronic device for augmented reality (AR) services, the electronic device comprising:

a display;

a memory configured to store instructions;

a communication circuitry; and

a processor operatively connected to the display, the memory and the communication circuitry,

wherein the instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the electronic device to:

transmit, through the communication circuitry, content to a wearable device to display the content by the wearable device, based on the execution of an application for an AR service,

receive, through the communication circuitry, AR information from the wearable device,

detect a specified interaction related to determining a display mode for displaying the content by analyzing the AR information,

determine the display mode for displaying the content depending on a processing entity for processing of the content, based on the detection of the specified interaction,

if the display mode is determined to be a first display mode of displaying content through the display of the electronic device, control to display the content based on a specified area in the display and transmit commands related to control the wearable device to the wearable device,

if the display mode is determined to be a second display mode of displaying content on a virtual space through a display of the wearable device, determine a state of the electronic device from a specified object corresponding to the electronic device being displayed through the display of the wearable device, based on the AR information,

produce mapping information of a virtual area for displaying the content on the virtual space, based on the state of the electronic device and transmit the mapping information to the wearable device.
