Electronic device performing wireless communication with accessory device, and operating method thereof

Abstract

The present disclosure provides methods and electronic devices for performing wireless communication with an accessory device. In some embodiments, an electronic device includes a wireless communication circuit, a memory, and a processor. The processor is configured to execute instructions to receive, from at least one server through the wireless communication circuit, a first decryption key. The processor is further configured to receive, from an accessory device through the wireless communication circuit, an advertising packet. At least one portion of the advertising packet is encrypted with a first encryption key. The processor is further configured to decrypt the at least one portion of the advertising packet with the first decryption key. The processor is further configured to transmit, to the at least one server through the wireless communication circuit, information comprised in the decrypted advertising packet. The first decryption key corresponds to the first encryption key.
