Electronic device and method for controlling wireless communication connection thereof

A portable communication device comprising:

• wireless communication circuitry configured to support a WiFi protocol;
• and
• at least one processor;
• memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the portable communication device to:
• receive, from an external electronic device, a first signal including an indication related to a service provided by a second server via the wireless communication circuitry;
• transmit, to the external electronic device, first information related to a first user account such that the external electronic device transmits the first information to the second server for authentication of the first account with respect to a first server, via the wireless communication circuitry;
• receive, from the external electronic device, a second signal indicating that an access to the external electronic device is granted;
• and
• establish a wireless communication connection with the external electronic device such that an access to the Internet is available via the external electronic device.

A method for controlling a wireless communication connection in an electronic device, the method comprising:

• transmitting, to an external electronic device, a first signal including an indication related to a service provided by a second server via wireless communication circuitry;
• in response to the first signal, receiving, from the external electronic device, first information related to a first user account via the wireless communication circuitry;
• transmitting, to the second server, the first information for authentication of the first user account with respect to a first server via wired communication circuitry;
• receiving, from the second server, an outcome of the authentication of the first user account via the wired communication circuitry, the outcome of the authentication being identified from the first server based at least in part on a determination that the first information corresponds to second information related to the first user account and stored in the first server;
• in response to receiving the outcome of the authentication from the second server, transmitting, to the external electronic device, a second signal indicating that an access to the electronic device is granted;
• and
• establishing a wireless communication connection with the external electronic device such that an access to the Internet is available to the external electronic device via the wired communication circuitry.
