Method of providing notification and electronic device supporting same

A method performed by an electronic device including an output device for providing a notification by the electronic device, the method comprising:

• receiving information on a status of at least one external device, information related to a location of the electronic device, and information related to a location of at least one another electronic device from a server, wherein the external device is a device disposed within a fixed area and the electronic device or the another electronic device is a portable device, and wherein the external device is a device which can be controlled by the electronic device or the another electronic device;
• identifying whether to output the received status of the at least one external device to a user of the electronic device using the output device of the electronic device, based at least in part on the information related to the location of the electronic device and the information related to the location of the at least one another electronic device;
• and
• outputting the received status of the at least one external device to the user of electronic device using the output device of the electronic device in response to identification of the output of the status of the at least one external device.

A system comprising:

• a first mobile terminal;
• and
• a server communicatively connected to the mobile terminal and comprising:
• a communication interface comprising communication circuitry configured to communicate with the first mobile terminal and a second mobile terminal;
• and
• at least one first processor operatively coupled to the communication interface and configured, individually and/or collectively, to:
• receive location information of the first mobile terminal from the first mobile terminal communicatively connected to the server and location information of the second mobile terminal from the second mobile terminal communicatively connected to the server, wherein the first mobile terminal corresponds to a first user account and wherein a first electronic device group including the first mobile terminal and the second mobile terminal is assigned a control right for at least one first home appliance registered with the first user account,
• in response to determining that a change in an operating state of the at least one first home appliance includes a first pattern, transmit information on the operating state of the at least one first home appliance received from the at least one first home appliance to the first mobile terminal and the second mobile terminal, and
• in response to determining that the change in an operating state of the at least one first home appliance includes a second pattern different from the first pattern, determining not to transmit the information on the operating state of the at least one first home appliance received from the at least one first home appliance to the first mobile terminal and the second mobile terminal,
• wherein the second mobile terminal corresponds to a second user account registered in the server by the first user account,
• wherein the at least one first home appliance is a device which can be controlled by the first mobile terminal and/or the second mobile terminal,
• wherein the first mobile terminal comprises:
• an output device;
• a communication interface comprising communication circuitry;
• at least one second processor electrically connected to the communication interface and the output device;
• and
• a memory electrically connected to the at least one second processor, wherein the memory stores instructions which, when executed by the at least one second processor, individually and/or collectively, cause the mobile terminal to:
• transmit location information of the first mobile terminal to the server,
• receive information on a status of the at least one first home appliance from the server through the communication interface, and information related to a location of the second mobile terminal, from the server through the communication interface, and wherein the at least one first home appliance is a device disposed Within a fixed area, and the first mobile terminal is a portable device,
• identify whether to output the received status of the at least one first home appliance to a user of the first mobile terminal using the output device of the first mobile terminal, based at least in part on the information related to the location of the first mobile terminal and the information related to the location of the second mobile terminal, and
• output the received status of the at least one first home appliance to the output device of the first mobile terminal in response to the identification of the output of the status of the at least one first home appliance.
