Electronic device and control method thereof

An electronic device comprising:

• a transceiver configured to receive first access control information generated from an external electronic device;
• a memory configured to store the first access control information received from the external electronic device;
• and
• at least one processor configured to:
• in response to an occurrence of an event for transmitting a first control command to the external electronic device, generate the first control command for controlling the external electronic device, and determine whether the first control command has an authority to control the external electronic device using the first access control information,
• in response to a determination that the first control command has the authority to control the external electronic device, control a communication unit to transmit the first control command to the external electronic device, and
• in response to a determination that the first control command has not the authority to control the external electronic device, ignore the first control command,
• wherein the first access control information includes information on an access control list of at least one device which is allowed to access and to control the external electronic device;
• wherein the transceiver is configured to transmit second access control information to the external electronic device, and
• wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:
• in response to a second control command being received from the external electronic device, determine whether the second control command has an authority to control the electronic device using the second access control information, and
• in response to a determination that the second control command has the authority to control the electronic device, perform a function corresponding to a control flag of the second control command.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium configured to store one or more computer programs including instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to control for a method for transmitting a control command of an electronic device, the method comprising:

• receiving first access control information generated from an external electronic device and storing the first access control information;
• in response to an occurrence of an event for transmitting a first control command to the external electronic device, generating the first control command for controlling the external electronic device, and determining whether the first control command has authority to control the external electronic device using the first access control information;
• in response to a determination that the first control command has the authority to control the external electronic device, transmitting the first control command to the external electronic device;
• in response to a determination that the first control command has not the authority to control the external electronic device, ignoring the first control command;
• transmitting second access control information to the external electronic device;
• in response to a second control command being received from the external electronic device, determining whether the second control command has authority to control the electronic device using the second access control information;
• and
• in response a determination that the second control command has the authority to control the electronic device, performing a function corresponding to a control flag of the second control command,
• wherein the first access control information includes information on an access control list of at least one device which is allowed to access and to control the external electronic device.
