Abstract:
An electronic device according to various embodiments of the present invention comprises: a communication circuit; at least one processor electrically connected to the communication circuit; and a memory electrically connected to the processor, wherein the memory can store instructions causing, when executed, the processor to: receive, through the communication circuit, first information indicating the state of the first electronic device from a first electronic device after initiating booting of the first electronic device and before completion of the booting; and control an output device functionally connected to the processor such that state information of the first electronic device is outputted on the basis of the first information. Additionally, other embodiments are possible.
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.
