Electronic device and method for operating access point information by electronic device
An electronic device is disclosed herein. The electronic device includes a display, at least one wireless communication circuit configured to perform Wi-Fi wireless communication with at least one access point (AP) and/or at least one external electronic device, a processor operatively connected to the display and the wireless communication circuit, and a memory operatively connected to the processor, wherein the memory stores instructions executable by the processor to cause the electronic device to: execute Wi-Fi scanning and receive a first signal from the at least one AP by the wireless communication circuit, receive a second signal from the at least one external electronic device by the wireless communication circuit, the second signal including information related to the at least one AP, determine a wireless communication channel state of the AP based at least partially on the first signal and the second signal, and control the display to display a graphic user interface (GUI) including an object indicating the determined wireless communication channel state.
1. An electronic device, comprising:
a display;
at least one wireless communication circuit configured to perform short range wireless communication;
a processor operatively connected to the display and the at least one wireless communication circuit; and
a memory operatively connected to the processor, wherein the memory stores instructions executable by the processor to cause the electronic device to:
execute network scanning and receive a first signal from at least one access point (AP) by the at least one wireless communication circuit,
receive a second signal broadcast from an external electronic device that is different from the at least one AP by the at least one wireless communication circuit, the second signal including information related to the at least one AP,
determine a wireless communication state of the at least one AP based at least partially on the first signal and the second signal, and
control the display to display a graphic user interface (GUI) including a signal strength object and an object indicating the determined wireless communication state.
2. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the instructions are further executable by the processor to cause the electronic device to: receive a wireless communication connection history for the at least one AP and/or the electronic device from an external server.
3. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the information related to the at least one AP includes at least one of a service set identifier (SSID), an indication of whether security configuration is performed, a received signal strength indicator (RSSI) measured by the external electronic device, and/or a transmission rate measured by the external electronic device.
4. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the external electronic device performs the short range communication with the at least one AP and is located in a communication di stance range of the electronic device.
5. The electronic device of claim 4 , wherein the electronic device receives the second signal though a Bluetooth low energy communication from the external electronic device.
