Abstract
Provided are various embodiments related to an electronic device. According to an embodiment, an electronic device may comprise: an IR (infrared light) transmission unit for outputting IR light; an IR reception unit for receiving IR light; and processor. The processor is configured to: identify a first IR transmission signal to be transmitted to an external device; identify a first time interval and a second time interval, which correspond to the first IR transmission signal; output first IR light corresponding to at least a part of the first IR transmission signal through the IR transmission unit in the first time interval; identify whether second IR light having the intensity larger than or equal to a threshold is received by the IR reception unit in the second time interval; and when the second IR light having the intensity larger than or equal to the threshold is received by the IR reception unit in the second time interval, interrupt transmission of the IR transmission signal. In addition, other embodiments may be possible.
