Abstract
Disclosed is an electronic device and a method thereof, in which user identification information is not exposed because data transmission and reception are performed by using temporary identification that distinguishes one user from another user, instead of by using user identification information of an electronic device.
Claims18
An electronic device comprising:
- a communication module;
- and
- a processor configured to:
- receive, through the communication module, key information of an external electronic device from the external electronic device collecting and processing at least one item of user data of the electronic device,
- generate temporary identification information based on the received key information of the external electronic device and key information of the electronic device,
- transmit the generated temporary identification information to the external electronic device through the communication module, wherein the external electronic device combines the received temporary identification information with the processed at least one item of user data such that data generated by combining the generated temporary identification information and the processed at least one item of user data is transmitted from the external electronic device to a server,
- receive, in response to transmitting a request signal for transmitting the processed at least one item of the user data to the server with the generated temporary identification information, the at least one item of the user data corresponding to the generated temporary identification information from the server;
- calculate a current location of the electronic device by using a sensor module of the electronic device;
- and
- determine to encrypt the user data of the electronic device based on the calculated current location of the electronic device.
