Electronic device and method of operating the electronic device

A first electronic device comprising:

• a memory storing one or more instructions;
• and
• at least one processor configured to:
• execute the one or more instructions stored in the memory to transmit an ultra-wideband (UWB) ranging initiation message to a second electronic device,
• identify the second electronic device by receiving a response message to the UWB ranging initiation message from the second electronic device,
• receive, from the second electronic device, information about the second electronic device including identification information of the second electronic device, information about a communication protocol available in the second electronic device, and information about a wireless communication method available in the second electronic device, and
• based on the information about the second electronic device, determine at least one application executable by the second electronic device.
