Disclosed is an electronic device and a method thereof, in which user identification information is not exposed because data transmission and reception are performed by using temporary identification that distinguishes one user from another user, instead of by using user identification information of an electronic device.
Claims20
An electronic device comprising:
- a communication module;
- and
- a processor configured to receive, through the communication module, key information of an external electronic device from the external electronic device processing at least one item of user data of the electronic device, to generate temporary identification information based on at least one of the received key information of the external electronic device and key information of the electronic device, and to transmit the generated temporary identification information to the external electronic device through the communication module.
A method for operating an electronic device, the method comprising:
- receiving key information of an external electronic device from the external electronic device processing at least one item of user data of the electronic device;
- generating temporary identification information based on at least one of the received key information of the external electronic device and key information of the electronic device;
- and
- transmitting the temporary identification information to the external electronic device.
