An electronic device includes a lens, an image sensor configured to generate image data from incident light that is incident through the lens, an actuator configured to drive the lens, at least one processor configured to output a first signal including lens driving information for controlling the actuator to drive the lens, a first interface configured to present, by the at least one processor, the first signal to the actuator, and a second interface configured to present, by the at least one processor, the first signal to the image sensor.

Electronic device synchronizing lens driving information and images

An apparatus and a method for treating garments are provided. A method, performed by a garment treatment apparatus, of controlling an operation of the garment treatment apparatus includes: establishing wireless communication with a monitoring device placed inside a drum of the garment treatment apparatus; rotating the drum; receiving movement information associated with movement of the monitoring device from the monitoring device during the rotation of the drum; and controlling the rotation of the drum based on the received movement information.

Apparatus and method for treating garments

Disclosed is an electronic device and a method for controlling the electronic device. The electronic device includes: a microphone, a communication interface, a memory for storing at least one instruction, and a processor configured to execute the at least one instruction to: determine whether a user is present around the electronic device based on voice data of the user obtained via the microphone, determine a device group including the electronic device and at least one other electronic device present around the electronic device, identify at least one device from the device group as a hub device to perform a voice recognition, and based on identifying the electronic device as the hub device, obtain, through the communication interface, a voice data of the user from one or more of the at least one other electronic device, and perform the voice recognition.

Electronic device and method for controlling electronic device

Disclosed are an electronic apparatus and a controlling method thereof. The method for controlling an electronic apparatus includes monitoring a state of communication connection with an access point (AP) device, outputting a search message to request information on at least one peripheral device within a specified range of the electronic apparatus as a first non-audible frequency signal based on an event to suspend communication connection with the AP device occurring, determining a device, among the electronic apparatus and the at least one peripheral device, to perform an operation of the AP device based on performance information of the at least one peripheral device included in a received response message and performance information of the electronic apparatus based on receiving the response message from the at least one peripheral device in response to the search message, and outputting information for communication connection with the electronic apparatus as a second non-audible frequency signal based on the electronic apparatus being determined as a device to perform an operation of the AP device. Accordingly, if a communication connection with an AP device connected to an electronic apparatus and a peripheral device is suspended, the electronic apparatus may rapidly form a network for communication connection with a peripheral device independently.

Electronic apparatus and method for controlling the electronic apparatus

A method for controlling an electronic device is provided. The method includes acquiring access point (AP) information to connect to an AP, scanning for a first external device that is to be connected to the AP, scanning for a second external device that is to be connected to the AP; transmitting, to a first external device that is identified from the scanning, the AP information and control information for causing the first external device to transmit the AP information to the second external device.
