Abstract:
Various embodiments of the present invention relate to a device and method for providing connection between an electronic device and other electronic devices through figure input. According to one embodiment, a first electronic device comprises a display, a processor operatively connected to the display, and a memory operatively connected to the processor, wherein the memory may include instructions by which, when executed, the processor: generates a first figure for connection authentication of a second electronic device; displays the first figure through the display; transmits a signal related to the first figure to the first electronic device; when a response signal corresponding to the signal related to the first figure is received, identifies a second figure included in the response signal; determines whether the second electronic device is authenticated, on the basis of a similarity between the first figure and the second figure; and establishes connection to the second electronic device on the basis of a result of the determining.
