Disclosed is a server including a communication circuit, a memory, and a processor. The processor is be configured to store identification information and location information of at least one external device in the memory, to receive identification information of an Internet of Things (IoT) device nearby the at least one external device from the at least one external device, using the communication circuit, and to store the identification information of the IoT device in association with the identification information and the location information of the at least one external device in the memory as a database.

Method for location inference of IoT device, server, and electronic device supporting the same

An example electronic device may include a communication circuit, a processor, and a memory, wherein the memory stores instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to, acquire first information on one or more first electronic devices, which are located at a first place and can be connected to a first external apparatus, from the first external apparatus, store the acquired first information in association with an account accessed through the first external apparatus, acquire second information on one or more second electronic devices located at a second place, in response to at least one function-providing request corresponding to the one or more first electronic devices and made by a second external apparatus located at the second place and corresponding to the account, select at least one electronic device corresponding to the one or more first electronic devices from among the one or more second electronic devices, using the first information stored in the memory and the acquired second information, and deliver information on the at least one selected electronic device to the second external apparatus.

Electronic device and operating method therefor

A method for controlling a signal related to an external device and an electronic device therefor are provided. The electronic device includes a transceiver, a memory, and at least one processor. The at least one processor is configured to control to receive a broadcasted request signal for registering an external device, from the external device via the transceiver, identify whether a nonaudible frequency signal is received from the external device, and provide a message for registering the external device based on the nonaudible frequency signal being received.

Apparatus and method for controlling signal related to external device

An electronic device and method are disclosed. The electronic device includes a memory, sensors and a processor. The processor may implement the method, including detecting, by one or more sensors, first sensing information related to a user action, determining, by at least one processor, specific information corresponding to the first sensing information based on the first sensing information being a first type of sensing information, detecting, by the one or more sensors, second sensing information related to the user action, and executing a second function related to a first function, the second function corresponding to the specific information and the second sensing information, based on the second sensing information being a second type of sensing information for performing the first function.
