According to an embodiment, an electronic device includes a communication circuit and at least one processor connected to the communication circuit. The at least one processor is configured to obtain onboarding information of an external electronic device, identify whether a first application is installed in the electronic device, in response to the first application being installed in the electronic device, execute the first application and determine a second application to control the external electronic device independently from the first application based on the onboarding information about the external electronic device, and in response to the first application not being installed in the electronic device, receive a list of applications capable of controlling the external electronic device from a server and determine the second application to control the external electronic device based on the application list.

Electronic device for determining application controlling external electronic device and method for operating the same

Electronic devices are disclosed, including a first and second device. The first device includes a communication circuit, and a processor. The processor is configured to receive a first signal from the second device, identify a present mode of the second device, based on the received first signal, establish a communicative connection with the second device, based on identifying that the second device is operating in a first mode, in response to establishing the connection, generate first information for inclusion in a second signal to be periodically transmitted from the second device which transitions to a second mode, and second information for encrypting communications with the second device, and transmit the first information and the second information to the second device, and a second device different from the second device.

Electronic device for performing encrypted communication, and operation method thereof

An electronic device and method are disclosed. The electronic device includes a location detection circuit, a first wireless communication circuit configured to support short-range communication, a second wireless communication circuit, and at least one processor. The processor implements the method, including: receiving an advertising packet from an external device using the first wireless communication circuit, the advertising packet including identification information for the external device, acquiring a location of the electronic device using the location detection circuit, transmitting a first signal including the identification information of the external device and the acquired location to a server, using the second wireless communication circuit, receiving a second signal responsive to the first signal from the server via the second wireless communication circuit, the second signal including an alarm command for the external device, and transmitting the alarm command to the external device using the first wireless communication circuit.

Method and apparatus for providing location alarm service of electronic device

An electronic device according to various embodiments comprises a communication module, a processor electrically connected to the communication module, and a memory electrically connected to the processor, wherein the memory, when executed, can store instructions for allowing the processor to: establish a first communication connection with a first external electrode device through the communication module; receive, from a server through the communication module, information related to at least one external electronic device, which is related to a first user account and is registered therewith; receive a command for connecting a second external electronic device of the external electronic devices, of which there is at least one, to the first external electronic device; release the communication connection with the first external electronic device on the basis of the command; and transmit, to the server through the communication module, a request for connecting the second external electronic device and the first external electronic device. Additional various embodiments are possible.

Electronic device for controlling establishment or release of communication connection, and operating method therefor

An electronic device and method for changing a path of an audio signal by the electronic device are provided. The method includes obtaining an electromagnetic signal (EM) signal of an external electronic device through EM sensing circuitry, identifying the external electronic device based on the obtained EM signal, changing the path of the audio signal that is output by the electronic device to be output through the external electronic device, when the identified external electronic device is capable of inputting or outputting the audio signal and is connected with the electronic device, and displaying, on a touchscreen display of the electronic device, a screen for establishing a communication connection with the external electronic device, when the identified external electronic device is capable of inputting or outputting the audio signal and is not connected with the electronic device.
