• and wherein the processor configured to:
• detecting an insertion of the electronic device into a first external electronic device;
• acquire configuration information related to a Bluetooth communication connection from the first external electronic device via the short-range communication module;
• identify whether conditions for configuring address information of the electronic device are satisfied;
• and
• configure the address information of the electronic device based on the configuration information when the identification of the conditions is satisfied,
• wherein the processor is further configured to:
• activate, in a first state in which the Bluetooth communication connection is not established with a second external electronic device, a Bluetooth module included in the short-range communication module based on identification of non-configuration of an authentication address information or acquisition of a specific signal in the first state, and
• establish the Bluetooth communication connection with the second external electronic device using the address information before acquisition of the configuration information through the activated Bluetooth module.
