An in-home relay device according to various embodiments may comprise: a housing; an antenna provided in the housing; an antenna alignment unit including a motor and/or circuitry for changing the position of the antenna so as to change the radiation direction of the antenna; a processor operatively connected to the antenna and the antenna alignment unit; and a communication unit including communication circuitry electrically connected to the processor and configured to wirelessly connect to external electronic devices, wherein the processor may be configured to: control the antenna alignment unit based on the quality of signals transmitted or received through the antenna to secure a line of sight (LOS) between the antenna and a repeater.

In-home relay device and electronic device connected thereto

Disclosed herein are a method and apparatus for pairing terminals using a sound wave. A sound wave is transmitted from a first terminal to a second terminal and a response is sent by the second terminal and detected by the first terminal. The first terminal and the second terminal are paired based at least partially on the sound wave signal and the response signal.

Pairing terminals with a sound wave signal

A method of operating a first electronic device for improving call quality is provided. The method includes the operations of transmitting call data received through a first call between the first electronic device and a third electronic device to a second electronic device, using short-range wireless communication connected with the second electronic device, if a communication abnormality of the short-range wireless communication takes place, connecting a second call between the first electronic device and the second electronic device, generating a third call by merging the first call and the second call, and releasing a call connection of the first electronic device from the third call.

Method for controlling communication and electronic device thereof

Disclosed are a method of recognizing a translation situation and performing a translation function, and an electronic device implementing the same. The electronic device recognizes a situation involving translation and automatically performs a translation function, thereby improving user convenience. An electronic device includes an audio module configured to receive and output audio signal, and a processor. A language translation program is executed in response to detecting that an audio signal received through the audio module includes at least a first language and a second language, a portion of the audio signal that is in the second language is translated into the first language, and the translated portion is outputted through the audio module.
