Method for rf communication connection using electronic device and user touch input

An electronic device connected with an external device, the electronic device comprising:

• a first short-range communication module configured to perform first short-range communication with the external device;
• a second short-range communication module configured to perform second short-range communication with the external device;
• at least one memory storing one or more instructions;
• and
• at least one processor configured to execute the one or more instructions,
• wherein the at least one processor, by executing the one or more instructions, is configured to:
• search for at least one external device connectable with the electronic device within a preset communication range by using the first short-range communication;
• determine an operation period of the second short-range communication module for performing second short-range communication with the at least one external device, based on a search result with respect to the at least one external device;
• activate the second short-range communication module according to the determined operation period and detect a contact of a user of the electronic device with respect to an external device among the at least one external device by using the activated second short-range communication module;
• and
• receive address information of the external device by performing second short-range communication with the external device, upon detecting the contact of the user.

A computer program product comprising a recording medium having stored therein a program for performing operations of:

• searching for at least one external device connectable with an electronic device within a preset communication range by using first short-range communication;
• determining an operation period of a second short-range communication module for performing second short-range communication with the at least one external device, based on a search result with respect to the at least one external device;
• activating the second short-range communication module according to the determined operation period and detecting a contact of a user of the electronic device with respect to an external device among the at least one external device by using the activated second short-range communication module;
• and
• receiving address information of the external device by performing second short-range communication with the external device, upon detecting the contact of the user.
