Electronic devices are disclosed, including a first and second device. The first device includes a communication circuit, and a processor. The processor is configured to receive a first signal from the second device, identify a present mode of the second device, based on the received first signal, establish a communicative connection with the second device, based on identifying that the second device is operating in a first mode, in response to establishing the connection, generate first information for inclusion in a second signal to be periodically transmitted from the second device which transitions to a second mode, and second information for encrypting communications with the second device, and transmit the first information and the second information to the second device, and a second device different from the second device.

Electronic device for performing encrypted communication, and operation method thereof

An electronic device according to various embodiments comprises a communication module, a processor electrically connected to the communication module, and a memory electrically connected to the processor, wherein the memory, when executed, can store instructions for allowing the processor to: establish a first communication connection with a first external electrode device through the communication module; receive, from a server through the communication module, information related to at least one external electronic device, which is related to a first user account and is registered therewith; receive a command for connecting a second external electronic device of the external electronic devices, of which there is at least one, to the first external electronic device; release the communication connection with the first external electronic device on the basis of the command; and transmit, to the server through the communication module, a request for connecting the second external electronic device and the first external electronic device. Additional various embodiments are possible.

Electronic device for controlling establishment or release of communication connection, and operating method therefor

An electronic device is disclosed. An electronic device comprises a display, a communication circuit configured to communicate with a first peripheral device, a memory configured to store first authentication information associated with the first peripheral device, and a processor, wherein the processor is configured to control the electronic device to: broadcast a first message via the communication circuit, receive a connection request message from the first peripheral device receiving the first message, authenticate the first peripheral device based on the first authentication information associated with the first peripheral device in response to the reception of the connection request message, and transmit screen data being displayed on the display to the first peripheral device via the communication circuit based on the authentication being valid.

Electronic device and method for sharing screen data

An electronic device and method for changing a path of an audio signal by the electronic device are provided. The method includes obtaining an electromagnetic signal (EM) signal of an external electronic device through EM sensing circuitry, identifying the external electronic device based on the obtained EM signal, changing the path of the audio signal that is output by the electronic device to be output through the external electronic device, when the identified external electronic device is capable of inputting or outputting the audio signal and is connected with the electronic device, and displaying, on a touchscreen display of the electronic device, a screen for establishing a communication connection with the external electronic device, when the identified external electronic device is capable of inputting or outputting the audio signal and is not connected with the electronic device.

Method for changing audio signal path according to external electronic device transmitting EM signal and electronic device therefor

A method and an electronic device are provided for providing a network connection. Gateway address information of a first network is received from the first network. The gateway address information is configured as gateway address information of the electronic device. It is determined whether the configured gateway address information remains valid when the network connection of the electronic device is switched from the first network to a second network. It is determined whether to update the configured gateway address information based on whether the configured gateway address information remains valid.
