Method and system for tracking location of an electronic device

A method of providing information of a first electronic device, the method comprising:

• establishing, via a first short range wireless communication, connection between the first electronic device and a second electronic device;
• detecting, by the first electronic device, a strength of a communication signal broadcasted by a third electronic device via a second short range wireless communication;
• and
• determining whether to transmit location information of the first electronic device to the second electronic device based on the detected strength of the communication signal.

An electronic device comprising:

• a communication module;
• and
• a controller connected with the communication module and configured to:
• broadcast a communication signal in a first short range wireless communication mode, and
• receive location information of a second electronic device in a second short range wireless communication mode switched to, from the first short range wireless communication mode, the location information of the second electronic device being detected by using the broadcasted communication signal.
