With the development of wired and wireless communication, users can easily acquire information through a network. Content providers that provide information are providing more diverse contents (eg, applications) to induce users to access them. Due to the diversity of such content, users may have difficulty in obtaining their preferred information.

To solve this problem, the electronic device may provide a service of recommending content suitable for the user based on the user's profile information and usage history information of the electronic device. For example, the electronic device may recommend content specialized to the user using information such as the user's age, gender, occupation, residence, interest, or usage history of an application installed in the electronic device.

For example, a user may connect a smart phone and earbuds to listen to music or build a smart home system by connecting a plurality of Internet of Things (IoT) devices by wire or wireless.

However, the existing electronic device has difficulty in recommending content suitable for a user in relation to connected (or interworking) devices in a multi-device environment. For example, the existing electronic device only recommends content based on the user's profile information and usage history information of the electronic device, but fails to recommend content related to the external electronic device when the external electronic device is connected. Accordingly, the user has no choice but to directly search for content related to the external electronic device, and thus may experience inconvenience in using the established multi-device environment.

When the device is connected, the content to be installed in the memory is determined based on the connection information with the external electronic device, and information about the determined content is set to be displayed on the display, wherein the connection information includes the external electronic device characteristics of the external electronic device, a connection history of the external electronic device, and at least one of context information of the external electronic device when the external electronic device is connected.

In addition, the method for recommending content of an electronic device according to various embodiments of the present disclosure includes, when connected to an external electronic device through a communication circuit, determining content to be installed in a memory based on connection information with the external electronic device; and displaying information on the determined content on a display, wherein the connection information includes a characteristic of the external electronic device, a connection history of the external electronic device, and the external electronic device when the external electronic device is connected. may include at least one of context information of

According to various embodiments of the present disclosure, by recommending content related to a connected device based on connection information between devices in a multi-device environment, it is possible to improve the experience of using the multi-device environment and increase the usability of the devices.

In addition, according to various embodiments of the present disclosure, it is possible to provide convenience in using the content by inducing the download and installation of the content along with the content recommendation.
