The at least one function may be a function for providing two-way communication between one process and another process (e.g., synchronous call), and/or a function for providing one-way communication from one process to another process (e.g., , asynchronous call or one-way call). For example, the function for providing two-way communication may be used to share synchronized information between one process and another process.

For example, the electronic device 101 may temporarily refrain from performing the function of one process while performing the function of the other process using a function for providing two-way communication. The electronic device 101 may begin performing the function of one process that was temporarily suspended based on completion of the function of the other process.

It may include an operation of identifying the second state. The operation includes storing, within the second state, one or more second messenger data sets that are different from one or more first messenger data sets that are the one or more messenger data sets generated using the source process ( 650).
