Abstract
An electronic device is provided, which includes a first communication circuit supporting a neighbor awareness networking (NAN) protocol; a second communication circuit configured to support a second protocol different from the NAN protocol; a memory; and a processor operatively connected to the first communication circuit, the second communication circuit, and the memory. The processor is configured to activate the NAN protocol supported by the first communication circuit, receive data from at least one external electronic device during a discovery window (DW) interval synchronized in a cluster via the first communication circuit, identify whether identification information of the at least one external electronic device having transmitted the data is stored in the memory, if the identification information of the at least one external electronic device is stored in the memory, store, in the memory, information that is obtained by matching at least a part of the received data with the identification information, and if a request for performing a service is received, display information of the at least one external electronic device configured to perform the service, based on the information stored in the memory.
