       6. A data communication method of a second terminal device in which a virtual environment is constructed, comprising:
 in response to a user command being received, receiving, by the second terminal device, first event information related to another user command for processing a data content of a first terminal device from a management server; 
 in response to receiving the first event information, providing a user interface (UI) for executing data stored in the first terminal device based on the first event information; 
 in response to receiving an execution command through the UI, transmitting second event information related to the execution command to the management server; and 
 in response to receiving a command from the management server, receiving the data content from the first terminal device, 
 wherein the first and second terminal devices use different communication protocols. 
 
     
     
       7. The data communication method as claimed in  claim 6 , further comprising:
 storing second path information to execute the data content if the execution command is input; and 
 storing the received data content in a position that corresponds to the second path information. 
 
     
     
       8. The data communication method as claimed in  claim 6 , wherein the first event information comprises one of data cut, copy, and drag, and
 the second event information comprises one of data paste and drop. 
 
     
     
       9. The data communication method as claimed in  claim 6 , wherein the second terminal device comprises a target terminal device that receives the data content,
 the first terminal device comprises a source terminal device that provides the data content, and 
 the virtual environment comprises an execution environment that is generated based on resources stored in an external server. 
 
     
     
       10. The data communication method as claimed in  claim 6 , wherein the second terminal device performs communication with the first terminal device using a Peer to Peer (P2P) method. 
     
     
       11. A first terminal device in which a virtual environment is constructed, comprising:
