1. An electronic device comprising:
a communication circuit;
a memory; and
a processor operatively connected with the communication circuit and the memory, and
wherein the memory stores one or more instructions that, when executed, cause the processor to perform a plurality of operations, the plurality of operations comprising:
transmitting color information indicating colors of a plurality of pixels forming a first frame and depth information indicating depths of the plurality of pixels to a first external electronic device connected through the communication circuit;
obtaining color information and depth information of a second frame following a first frame;
calculating an amount of change of depth information of at least one object included in the first frame and the second frame based on the depth information of the first frame and the depth information of the second frame;
determining whether the amount of change of the depth information is greater than or equal to a specified depth threshold; and
transmitting the depth information of the second frame together with the color information of the second frame to the first external electronic device based on that being determined that the amount of change of the depth information is greater than or equal to the specified depth threshold.
