Abstract
An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a first communication module configured to support a first communication method, a second communication module configured to support a second communication method, a memory configured to store data used for operations of the first communication module and the second communication module, and a processor electrically connected to the first communication module, the second communication module, and the memory.
Claims20
An electronic device comprising:
- a first communication module configured to support a first communication method;
- a second communication module configured to support a second communication method;
- a memory configured to store data used for operations of the first communication module and the second communication module;
- and
- a processor electrically connected to the first communication module, the second communication module, and the memory,
- wherein the processor is configured to:
- recognize an approach of an external electronic device based on the first communication method, and
- after recognizing a location by at least one of transmitting a specified signal to and receiving the specified signal from the approach-recognized external electronic device based on the second communication method, correct at least one of location or direction information associated with the approach based on state information itself calculated using sensor information collected from a sensor module.
A device searching method comprising:
- recognizing an approach of an external electronic device based on a first communication method;
- recognizing a location by at least one of transmitting a specified signal to and receiving the specified signal from the approach-recognized external electronic device based on a second communication method;
- and
- correcting location or direction information associated with the approach recognized based on state information itself.
