Electronic device and operation method thereof

A method of operating an electronic device, the method comprising:

• receiving an audio data request from a first external electronic device through a communication circuit;
• generating a first audio packet using audio data acquired through a microphone in the same time period as a second external electronic device connected through the communication circuit, based on a specified condition;
• inserting, into the first audio packet, information for comparing the first audio packet with a second audio packet generated by the second external electronic device in terms of generation order;
• and
• transmitting the first audio packet to the first external electronic device through the communication circuit,
• wherein the information for comparing includes time information and order information, the time information about a time in which the electronic device generates the first audio packet, or a time in which the electronic device acquires audio data corresponding to the first audio packet, and the order information about an order in which the electronic device generates the first audio packet, or an order in which the electronic device acquires audio data corresponding to the first audio packet.

One or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media storing one or more computer programs including computer-executable instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of an electronic device, cause the electronic device to perform operations, the operations comprising:

• receiving an audio data request from a first external electronic device through a communication circuit;
• generating a first audio packet using audio data acquired through a microphone in the same time period as a second external electronic device connected through the communication circuit, based on a specified condition;
• inserting, into the first audio packet, information for comparing the first audio packet with a second audio packet generated by the second external electronic device in terms of generation order;
• and
• transmitting the first audio packet to the first external electronic device through the communication circuit,
• wherein the information for comparing includes time information and order information, the time information about a time in which the electronic device generates the first audio packet, or a time in which the electronic device acquires audio data corresponding to the first audio packet, and the order information about an order in which the electronic device generates the first audio packet, or an order in which the electronic device acquires audio data corresponding to the first audio packet.
