Abstract
A method and an apparatus are provided for operating an interface with an external device in an electronic device. A connection of the external device to the electronic device is recognized. It is determined whether the external device is a SAW device. A request signal is transmitted to the SAW device when the external device is the SAW device. A response signal corresponding to the request signal is received from the SAW device. The response signal is processed. Data is output according to the processed response signal.
Claims19
