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.

Electronic device and method for controlling wireless communication connection thereof

Various 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 via the wireless communication circuit; 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 via the wireless communication circuit; 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 via the wired communication interface; 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. Various other embodiments are also possible.

The purpose of the present invention is to display layers in an electronic device, wherein an operating method of the electronic device can comprise the steps of: displaying, on a display, a first layer of which at least a portion is transparent; and displaying, on the display, a second layer of which at least a portion is overlapped with the first layer, and which is disposed on a lower end of the first layer, wherein the at least portion of the second layer can be set to be transparently displayed. In addition, other embodiments are possible.

Method for displaying screen image and electronic device therefor

An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a display and a processor electrically connected with the display and a memory and configured to use a first content in a 3-dimensional (3D) space in response to executing the first content, render an area corresponding to a field of view (FOV), and store information relating to the FOV in the memory as metadata of the first content in response to a specified event.

Method and device for managing thumbnail of three-dimensional contents

An electronic device and method are disclosed herein. The electronic device includes a processor, a touch screen and a memory including instructions executable by the processor to execute the method, including: when detecting a first touch input to the touch screen, identifying an orientation for arranging a plurality of selectable objects, rearrange one or more objects from among the plurality of selectable objects according to the identified orientation relative to a location on the touch screen where the first touch input is detected, and outputting information associated with a particular object from among the rearranged one or more objects corresponding to detection of a second touch input.

Method for providing object information and electronic device thereof

An electronic device includes a communication circuit that communicates with an external device, a memory configured to store first setting data corresponding to a first time period, and a processor operatively connected with the communication circuit and the memory. The processor receives second setting data corresponding to a second time period from the external device through the communication circuit if a specified time point is reached, deletes at least a portion of the first setting data based on whether a status of a user is a login status or a logout status, and applies the second setting data to the electronic device.

Method and electronic device for updating configuration settings

An electronic device includes a display, a communication interface, a processor electrically connected with the display and the communication interface, and a memory electrically connected with the processor. The memory stores instructions that cause the processor to execute a message transmission application configured to transmit or receive data through a first communication mode, select at least one message thread from a list of messages transmitted and received in the message transmission application, and establish a channel according to a second communication mode with an external electronic device based on identification information of the external electronic device associated with the selected message thread.

Data transmission method and electronic device for supporting the same

An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a communication module configured to request from at least one peripheral electronic device to transmit device information, and to receive the device information from the at least one peripheral electronic device. The electronic device also includes a control module configured to analyze attributes of content using content information if a content providing event occurs, to analyze attributes of the at least one peripheral electronic device using the device information and the attributes of the electronic device, and to determine at least one target device to provide the content to a user, according to the result of analyzing the attributes of the content and the result of analyzing the attributes of the electronic device and the at least one peripheral electronic device.

Electronic device and content providing method thereof

Disclosed are an apparatus and a method for providing a haptic effect in an electronic device. The electronic device includes at least one sensor, at least one processor, and a memory electrically coupled to the at least one processor, storing instructions executable by the at least one processor. The instructions implement the method, including detecting at least one haptic event related to content output by the electronic device, detecting movement information indicating movement of a haptic providing module electrically coupled to the electronic device, via the at least one sensor, wherein the haptic providing module includes one or more haptic actuators, and selecting at least one haptic actuator of the one or more haptic actuators based on at least one attribute of the at least one haptic event and the detected movement information.

Method for providing haptic effect and electronic device thererfor

An electronic device includes a memory, a communication interface capable of performing communication, and a processor electrically connected to the memory and the communication interface. The processor is configured to extract a first audio signal to be output through a speaker, based on audio data received from an external electronic device and/or stored in the memory, to generate a second audio signal obtained by removing the first audio signal from the audio data, and to generate a haptic signal for outputting a haptic effect, based on the second audio signal.

Method for producing haptic signal and electronic device supporting the same

An electronic device for processing image data including a camera module configured to obtain the image data. The electronic device also including a control module configured to set at least one pointing object in the image data and configured to control the image data on an object corresponding to a position of the set pointing object according to at least one of a position and movement of the at least one pointing object.
