Device and communication connection method thereof

An electronic device comprising:

• a communication interface;
• a memory;
• and
• at least one processor configured to control the communication interface and the memory,
• wherein the memory is configured to store instructions and, in response to the at least one processor executing the instructions, the at least one processor is further configured to perform:
• an operation of connecting with the electronic apparatus via the communication interface by using first data stored in the memory,
• an operation of receiving identification information of an access point from the electronic apparatus,
• an operation of connecting with the access point by using the identification of the access point received from the electronic apparatus,
• an operation of connecting with a server via the access point,
• an operation of receiving second identification information of the electronic apparatus from the server and storing the received second identification information in the memory, and
• in response to being disconnected from the access point, an operation of connecting with the electronic apparatus by using the second identification information.

An electronic apparatus configured to support communicative connection of a first device and a second device and allow the first device and the second device to connect with an access point, the electronic apparatus comprising:

• a communication interface;
• a memory;
• and
• at least one processor configured to control the communication interface and the memory,
• wherein the memory is configured to store instructions and, in response to the at least one processor executing the instructions, the at least one processor is further configured to control the electronic apparatus to perform:
• an operation of storing identification information of the access point in a memory of the electronic apparatus,
• an operation of broadcasting identification information of the electronic apparatus via the communication interface,
• an operation of detecting that the first device and the second device are connected with the electronic apparatus based on the identification information of the electronic apparatus, and
• an operation of substantially simultaneously transmitting the identification information of the access point to the first device connected with the electronic apparatus and the second device connected with the electronic apparatus.

A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium having recorded thereon a program to control an electronic apparatus, in response to being executed by at least one processor, the at least one processor performs operations of:
