This application is a National Phase Entry of International Application No. PCT/KR2019/001935, which was filed on Feb. 19, 2019, and claims priority to Korean Patent Application No. 10-2018-0021736, filed in the Korean Intellectual Property Office on Feb. 23, 2018, the content of each of which is incorporated herein by reference.
Various embodiments relate to an electronic device for using a wired network through a docking device and a method of operating the electronic device.
With the development of mobile communication technology, an electronic device performs various data communication functions as well as voice call functions. The electronic device provides various services through various applications. The electronic device provides a multimedia service, for example, a music service, a video service, or a digital broadcast service, or a call, wireless Internet, short message service (SMS), multimedia messaging service (MMS), and the like which are network-based communication services. And, as the electronic device evolves from a simple communication medium to a device capable of various functions such as communication, distribution, the Internet, or payment, it has been used throughout the social, cultural, financial, or distribution industries.
FIG. 1 is a block diagram of an electronic device in a network environment according to various embodiments.
FIG. 2 is a structural diagram of a system according to various embodiments.
FIG. 3 is a block diagram illustrating a program according to various embodiments.
Hereinafter, various embodiments of the document will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
FIG. 1 is a block diagram illustrating an electronic device 101 in a network environment 100 according to various embodiments.
Referring to FIG. 1, the electronic device 101 in the network environment 100 may communicate with an electronic device 102 via a first network 198 (e.g., a short-range wireless communication network), or an electronic device 104 or a server 108 via a second network 199 (e.g., a long-range wireless communication network). According to an embodiment, the electronic device 101 may communicate with the electronic device 104 via the server 108. According to an embodiment, the electronic device 101 may include a processor 120, memory 130, an input device 150, a sound output device 155, a display device 160, an audio module 170, a sensor module 176, an interface 177, a haptic module 179, a camera module 180, a power management module 188, a battery 189, a communication module 190, a subscriber identification module (SIM) 196, or an antenna module 197. In some embodiments, at least one (e.g., the display device 160 or the camera module 180) of the components may be omitted from the electronic device 101, or one or more other components may be added in the electronic device 101. In some embodiments, some of the components may be implemented as single integrated circuitry. For example, the sensor module 176 (e.g., a fingerprint sensor, an iris sensor, or an illuminance sensor) may be implemented as embedded in the display device 160 (e.g., a display).
