Abstract:
An electronic device according to various embodiments may comprise: at least one wireless communication circuit; a touch screen display; a processor operatively connected to the at least one wireless communication circuit and the touch screen display; and a memory operatively connected to the processor, wherein the memory stores instructions that, when executed, cause the processor to: receive first information on a first external electronic device and a second external electronic device through the at least one wireless communication circuit; determine a location and/or a direction of the first external electronic device and a location and/or a direction of the second external electronic device at least partly on the basis of a signal acquired through the at least one wireless communication circuit and/or second information received through the at least one wireless communication circuit; provide the touch screen display with a graphical user interface (GUI) indicating the first external electronic device and the second external electronic device, at least partly on the basis of the determined location and/or the determined direction; receive, through the touch screen display, a gesture input for selection of the first external electronic device and the second external electronic device; and transmit, through the wireless communication circuit, third information related to an operation of using the first external electronic device and the second external electronic device. Various embodiments are possible.
