An electronic device and a method for controlling the electronic device are provided. Multimedia content is reproduced in the electronic device. After the reproduction of the multimedia content in the electronic device, a display of the electronic device is controlled to display a plurality of objects respectively indicating a plurality of external devices which is identified by the electronic device. In response to input to an object among the plurality of objects, an external device indicated by the object is authorized to continuously reproduce multimedia content.

Electronic device and method for continuously reproducing multimedia content in external electronic device

An electronic device is disclosed. The electronic device includes a display, a communication circuit, a memory, and a processor. The processor may be configured to obtain a user input for communication with a first external electronic device and output a first user interface for the communication with the first external electronic device on the display, based on the user input. The processor is also configured to obtain permission information for accessing a second external electronic device associated with an account of the first external electronic device, during the communication with the first external electronic device, and display a second user interface for accessing the second external electronic device on a partial region of the first user interface based on the permission information.

Method for providing user interface and electronic device therefor

An electronic device and method are disclosed herein. The electronic device includes a speaker, microphone, processor and memory storing instructions, which implement the method, including: determining whether registration of a first user is required based on a first voice signal obtained through a microphone of the electronic device, when registration of the first user is required, requesting authentication of the first user by a second user preregistered at the electronic device, and when information authenticating the first user by the second user is received, registering the first user based on the received information.

Electronic device and method for registering new user through authentication by registered user

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

An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes memory configured to store instructions, at least one communication circuitry, at least one display, and at least one processor, wherein at least one processor is configured to, when executing instructions, reproduce multimedia content in electronic device, identify, through at least one communication circuitry, whether electronic device is connectable with external electronic device interlocked with electronic device, before first time elapses from a time of initiating the reproduction of the multimedia content, and superimpose and display, on a screen which is being displayed through the at least one display, a visual object indicating that the external electronic device is capable of continuously reproducing the multimedia content from a time at which reproduction of the multimedia content has been progressed in the electronic device, based on identifying whether the electronic device is connectable with the external electronic device interlocked with the electronic device.
