Abstract:
An electronic device according to various embodiments of the present invention comprises: a sensor module functionally connected with the electronic device; a receiving module functionally connected with the electronic device; and a processor, wherein the processor may detect that the electronic device is worn by a user, obtain content from an external electronic device in response to the detection, and execute the obtained content upon obtaining the content from the external electronic device.
Abstract:
Disclosed are an electronic device and a method of processing a user input by an electronic device. The method includes: generating a first query based on an input; identifying a response to the first query; transmitting a second query generated at least based on the first query to an external electronic device, which can perform short-range communication, through communication circuitry of at least one communication module, based on a result of the response; and setting the second query to be processed by the external electronic device.
Abstract:
A method of performing a connection between electronic devices and an electronic device thereof. The method may include: receiving a first signal including first information of the media device through first communication mode; generating a second signal including identification information of the media device by using at least a part of the first information in response to the first signal; transmitting the second signal to the media device through the first communication mode; and performing a connection with the media device by using the first information.
Abstract:
An electronic device for transmitting configuration information and an operation method thereof are provided. In various embodiments, an electronic device may receive a signal including information related to a media device, from the media device. The electronic device may identify configuration information usable for setting a configuration of the media device, in response to the signal. A level (such a security level or a priority level) of the configuration information may be identified. It may then be determined whether it is permissible for the configuration information to be transmitted to the media device, based on the identified level of the configuration information. If so, the configuration information may be transmitted to the media device.
Abstract:
A method of an electronic device for making a request for a scan via short range communication and the electronic device is provided. The method includes periodically broadcasting a scan request for one or more short range communication devices; and receiving a scan result of a scan device for the one or more short range communication devices from the scan device in response to the scan request. The electronic device includes a communication module configured to broadcast a scan request for one or more short range communication devices and receive a scan result of a scan device for the one or more short range communication devices from the scan device in response to the scan request; and a processor configured to control the communication module to periodically broadcast the scan request.
Abstract:
A method for operating of an electronic device includes: connecting communication with an external electronic device; identifying state information and service information of the electronic device and the external electronic device; and selecting at least one communication method based on the state information and the service information. An electronic device includes a communication module and a processor. The processor is configured to select at least one communication method from a plurality of communication methods based on state information and service information of the electronic device and the external electronic device
Abstract:
Various example embodiments of the disclosure relate to an electronic device and a wireless communication connection control method thereof. The method may include: receiving and storing at least one first account information stored in at least one server from a first electronic device; broadcasting a beacon signal including an indicator indicating that a WiFi access is granted based at least in part on account information related to the server; receiving at least one second account information from a neighboring electronic device which has received the beacon signal; determining whether the second account information is related to the first account information, based at least in part on data to be exchanged with the server; and upon determining that the second account information is related to the first account information, granting the neighboring electronic device an access to the access point in order to use the Internet, without having to request for credential information from the neighboring electronic device.
