Abstract:
An electronic device for supporting a connection to a wireless router of an internet of things (IoT) device is provided. The electronic device includes a transceiver, a communication interface, a processor, and a memory. The processor connects a first external device by using a first service set identifier (SSID), receives first information about the first external device from the first external device, transmits at least part of the first information and second information about the electronic device to a second external device, forwards connection information from the second external device, which includes a second SSID for wireless connection between the first external device and the electronic device, or receives a transmission request of the connection information from the second external device and transmits the connection information to the first external device, and wirelessly connects to the first external device by using the connection information.
Abstract:
An electronic device includes a housing, a wireless communication circuit, a wired communication interface, a processor, and a memory. The memory stores instructions that, when executed, cause the processor to connect with an external device by using the wireless communication circuit or the wired communication interface, to receive first information to set the electronic device as an access point (AP) from the external device, to receive second information on another AP from the external device, to configure the electronic device by using the first information, and to wirelessly broadcast a signal by using the wireless communication circuit, to allow wireless devices to connect to the AP.
Abstract:
A method comprising: transmitting, by a first electronic device, a discovery request message according to an internet protocol (IP) address of the first electronic device; receiving, by the first electronic device, a response to the discovery request message that is transmitted by a second electronic device according to an IP address of the second electronic device; and establishing a Tunneled Direct Link Setup (TDLS) channel with the second electronic device when the response to the discovery request message is received from the second electronic device.
Abstract:
A mobile device and method for performing a function using a short-range communication tag are provided. In the method, the mobile device inputs function-related information into a short-range communication tag, and recognizes proximity to or contact with the short-range communication tag. Then the mobile device reads the function-related information from the short-range communication tag, and performs a function correlated with the function-related information. This allows performing various functions of the mobile device, only depending on a user's action to bring the mobile device in proximity to or contact with the Near Field Communication (NFC) tag.
Abstract:
A method and a system for providing a Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi) service, in which when multiple counterpart devices are selected based on manufacturer information and support information on supported functions and capability defined in a service information field of each beacon message or each probe response message, a final device is determined by checking multiple pieces of signal information of the selected counterpart devices, are provided. The method includes receiving messages from multiple counterpart devices, selecting one or more counterpart devices, each of which supports a requested service, from an identical manufacturer when the messages are received, checking multiple pieces of signal information of the selected counterpart devices when the number of the selected counterpart devices is greater than one, and determining a device having the signal information satisfying set conditions as a final device.
