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

An electronic device according to various embodiments of the present invention comprises: a communication circuit; at least one processor electrically connected to the communication circuit; and a memory electrically connected to the processor, wherein the memory can store instructions causing, when executed, the processor to: receive, through the communication circuit, first information indicating the state of the first electronic device from a first electronic device after initiating booting of the first electronic device and before completion of the booting; and control an output device functionally connected to the processor such that state information of the first electronic device is outputted on the basis of the first information. Additionally, other embodiments are possible.

Electronic device and operating method 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.

An electronic device according to various embodiments of the present invention comprises: a sensor module functionally connected with the electronic device; a receiving module functionally connected with the electronic device; and a processor, wherein the processor may detect that the electronic device is worn by a user, obtain content from an external electronic device in response to the detection, and execute the obtained content upon obtaining the content from the external electronic device.

Content playback method and electronic device supporting same

A device and method for sharing a screen in an electronic device including at least one display are provided. The electronic device includes at least one display that displays information, a communication interface that transmits/receives a signal to/from an external electronic device, and a processor that determines a display method of the external electronic device based on the device capability of the external electronic device, generates screen configuration information corresponding to information displayed on the at least one display based on the display method of the external electronic device, and makes a control to transmit the screen configuration information to the external electronic device through the communication interface.

Method for sharing screen and electronic device thereof

An electronic device for transmitting configuration information and an operation method thereof are provided. In various embodiments, an electronic device may receive a signal including information related to a media device, from the media device. The electronic device may identify configuration information usable for setting a configuration of the media device, in response to the signal. A level (such a security level or a priority level) of the configuration information may be identified. It may then be determined whether it is permissible for the configuration information to be transmitted to the media device, based on the identified level of the configuration information. If so, the configuration information may be transmitted to the media device.

Electronic device employing level-based transmission of configuration information

A method and apparatus of an electronic device is provided. The method includes receiving, from a first server, a designated content including at least one piece of information associated with a second server. The method also includes receiving content identification information from the second server when the electronic device is located in a short-range wireless communication area of the second server. The method further includes displaying at least one information that corresponds to the content identification information, from the content received from the first server.

Method of processing contents and electronic device thereof

A method of performing a connection between electronic devices and an electronic device thereof. The method may include: receiving a first signal including first information of the media device through first communication mode; generating a second signal including identification information of the media device by using at least a part of the first information in response to the first signal; transmitting the second signal to the media device through the first communication mode; and performing a connection with the media device by using the first information.

Method and electronic device for performing connection between electronic devices

A method and electronic device for establishing a connection with an external electronic device are disclosed. The electronic device may include: at least one communication interface configured to acquire information on at least one external device and a processor. The processor is configured to acquire, from a first external electronic device, a signal associated with identification information on the first external electronic device through the at least one communication interface. The processor is further configured to generate connection information for establishing a connection with a second external electronic device at least partially based on the identification information. The processor is further configured to establish the connection with the second external electronic device through the at least one communication interface at least partially based on the generated connection information.

Method and electronic device for establishing connection with external electronic device

A method for operating of an electronic device includes: connecting communication with an external electronic device; identifying state information and service information of the electronic device and the external electronic device; and selecting at least one communication method based on the state information and the service information. An electronic device includes a communication module and a processor. The processor is configured to select at least one communication method from a plurality of communication methods based on state information and service information of the electronic device and the external electronic device.
