US 10,648,824 B2 · Electronic device and method for providing movement path

Abstract

A method and electronic device for requesting and providing a navigable movement path are provided herein. An electronic device for providing the movement path and meeting location are provided as well. The electronic device for requesting the navigable movement path includes a communication module, a display and a processor. The processor may implement the method including: when a preset condition is satisfied, transmit a request for movement path information and movement information of the electronic device through the communication module to the external device, the movement path information navigable to a meeting location with a second electronic device, receive a transmission of information from the external device, the received information including the meeting location designated based on the movement information of the electronic device, and a movement path navigable to the meeting location, and display the movement path navigable to the meeting location on the display.
