A host device and a method of communicating with a plurality of devices are provided. The method includes operations of searching for devices that are communicatable with the host device, generating routing paths connected to a wearable device via devices found by the host device, selecting one of the routing paths according to a preset reference, and communicating with the wearable device via at least one of the found devices included in the selected routing path, wherein the preset reference includes a first reference that is set according to a service executed by the host service, or includes a second reference that is set according to a security level of each of the found devices.

Method and host device for communicating among multiple devices

Disclosed is an electronic device. An electronic device according to an embodiment controls a plurality of external electronic devices. The electronic device may comprise: a communication module configured to transmit a control signal to each of the plurality of external electronic devices; a display for receiving a first input for controlling each of the plurality of external electronic devices, and receiving a second input provided in a predetermined direction; and a processor for controlling the communication module to transmit a control signal corresponding to the received first input to at least one external electronic device corresponding to a direction of the second input, from among the plurality of external electronic devices.

Electronic device and control method therefor

An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes an output unit configured to output a first service provided from a first device and a controller configured to perform control so that when reception of the first service is paused, and a second device providing at least one second service corresponding to the first service is searched, a request for the at least one second service is sent to the second device.

Electronic device and method of providing service in electronic device

A method of managing a control right in a 1:n network topology is provided. The master device includes a display unit configured to display a first screen, a control unit configured to receive a request for at least one right for controlling the master device and/or a mirroring service from at least one of a plurality of client devices mirroring the first screen, and to grant the requested right to the at least one of the plurality of client devices in response to the request, and a communication unit configured to receive the request and to transmit the response.

Method of managing control right, client device therefor, and master device therefor

A method for providing a service related to a plurality of mirroring images displayed on a screen of a sink device is provided. The method includes determining a first object in a first mirroring image that is displayed on the screen of the sink device, based on a user input, as the first object is moved to a location in a second mirroring image that is displayed on the screen of the sink device, determining a second object that corresponds to the location to which the first object has been moved, determining a service related to the first object and the second object, from among services provided via the second mirroring image, and outputting a result of the determined service.
