A method and electronic device are disclosed herein. The electronic device includes a display, a communication unit, a processor and a memory storing instructions. The process executes the instructions to implement the method, including establishing wireless communication with one or more IoT devices, displaying a user interface for managing IoT devices, receiving a user input selecting a group of IoT devices, transmitting first information including user account data to an external server, transmitting second information to another device, the first information also indicating a selected group of IoT devices, and the second information causing the other device to communicatively connect with the first external server.

Method for managing and controlling external IoT device and electronic device supporting the same

An electronic device according to various embodiments of the present disclosure includes: a housing; a user interface exposed through a portion of the housing; at least one communication circuit configured to discover and connect to another electronic device wirelessly without an access point or a base station; at least one processor operatively connected with the user interface and the communication circuit; and a memory operatively connected with the processor, wherein, when being executed, the memory stores instructions that cause the processor to transmit a plurality of first beacon signals for wireless connection by using the communication circuit during first time periods, to detect at least one second beacon signal for wireless connection, transmitted from an external device, by using the communication circuit, during one period of second time periods which are different from the first time periods, to receive multimedia data from an external server after detecting the at least one second beacon signal, and to output at least one of an audio, an image, or a video based at least in part on the multimedia data. Other embodiments are possible.

Method for providing content and electronic device for supporting same

A photographing method using an external electronic device and an electronic device supporting the same are provided. The electronic device includes a communication circuit, a memory configured to store contents including a first image in which a virtual reality is realized, and a processor electrically connected to the communication circuit and the memory. The processor is configured to identify a first external electronic device that is around the electronic device, determine whether the first external electronic device can photograph a subject by using the first external electronic device, transmit a command to the first external electronic device through the communication circuit in response to a determination result that the first external electronic device can photograph the subject by using the camera, receive a second image photographed based on the command from the first external electronic device, and generate a third image based on the first image and the second image.

Photographing method using external electronic device and electronic device supporting the same

An electronic device that interacts with a head mounted display (HMD) device is provided. The electronic device includes a communication interface, a memory, a display, and at least one processor electrically connected to the communication interface, the memory, and the display. The at least one processor is configured to receive an event signal related to sharing of contents with at least one external device or receive request information related to sharing of contents from the at least one external device through the communication interface, identify attribute information of the at least one external device, convert a format of some of one or more contents, which are stored in the memory, such that the format of one or more contents corresponds to the identified attribute information, and transmit the contents to the at least one external.
