An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a first communication interface, a second communication interface, and a processor electrically connected with the first communication interface and the second communication interface, wherein the processor is configured to transmit first information related to proximity discovery of the electronic device to a first external electronic device or a second external electronic device through the first communication interface and perform proximity discovery with the first external electronic device through the second communication interface based on the first information or second information related to proximity discovery of the first external electronic device corresponding to the first information.

Electronic device and proximity discovery method thereof

The embodiments disclosed in the present specification relate to a method and an apparatus for providing proximity-based information. An electronic apparatus for providing proximity-based information according to various embodiments of the present invention comprises: a communication interface; a memory; and a processor electrically connected to the communication interface and the memory, wherein the processor may be set to obtain first context information from one or more programs running on the electronic apparatus, identify first location information corresponding to the first context information, transmit, to a server, first data including at least one of the first context information and the first location information, through the communication interface, receive, from the server, first event information on a point of interest corresponding to the transmitted first data, and store, in the memory, the received first event information on the point of interest. Other various embodiments are possible.

Method and apparatus for providing proximity-based information

An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes at least one antenna on a designated band, at least one filtering unit for filtering signals received from the at least one antenna into a plurality of bands of the designated band, at least one switching unit for outputting the signals filtered by the at least one filtering unit to a first communication unit using a first communication function and a second communication unit using a second communication function, and a processor electrically connected with the at least one switching unit, the first communication unit, and the second communication unit for controlling the at least one switching unit so that, when a signal of a first band in the designated band is output to the first communication unit, a signal of a second band in the designated band is output to the second communication unit.
