Abstract

An electronic device, a method thereof, and a recording medium are disclosed. A main electronic device according to various embodiments of the present disclosure includes: an input interface; a communication module electrically connected to the input interface; and a processor electrically connected to the input interface and the communication module. The input interface receives an authentication request for transmitting data to sub-electronic devices of a second device group by sub-electronic devices of a first device group. The main electronic device is included in the first device group, and the processor is configured to control transmission of the authentication request to a main electronic device of the second device group when the authentication request has been received by the communication module.

Claims (31)

1. An electronic device comprising:

a communication module; and

at least one processor electrically connected to the communication module,

wherein the at least one processor of the electronic device is configured to:

receive, on an execution screen of a call application, a first touch input for performing a call with a specified counterpart device via the call application,

in response to reception of the first touch input, display, on the execution screen of the call application, a message for receiving an user input for transmitting an authentication request to the specified counterpart device,

receive, on the message, a second touch input for transmitting the authentication request, and

in response to reception of the second touch input, transmit the authentication request to the specified counterpart device with performing the call,

wherein the electronic device is included in a first device group, and wherein the specified counterpart device is included in a second device group,

wherein the first device group and the second device group include at least one sub-electronic device respectively,

wherein the electronic device is a first main device of the first device group and the specified counterpart device is a second main device of the second device group, and

wherein the first device group or the second device group is determined according to and at least two of:

user identification information,

positions of the first main device, the second main device and the at least one sub-electronic device,

unique identification numbers of the first main device, the second main device and the at least one sub-electronic device, or

IP addresses of the first main device, the second main device and the at least one sub-electronic device.

2. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the electronic device and the at least one sub-electronic device of the first device group are connected through a wireless communication.

3. A method of operating an electronic device, the method comprising:

receiving, on an execution screen of a call application, a first touch input for performing a call with a specified counterpart device via the call application;

in response to reception of the first touch input, displaying, on the execution screen of the call application, a message for receiving an user input for transmitting an authentication request to the specified counterpart device;

receiving, on the message, a second touch input for transmitting the authentication request; and

in response to reception of the second touch input, transmitting the authentication request to the specified counterpart device with performing the call,

wherein the electronic device is included in a first device group, and wherein the specified counterpart device is included in a second device group,

wherein the first device group and the second device group include at least one sub-electronic device respectively,

wherein the electronic device is a first main device of the first device group and the specified counterpart device is a second main device of the second device group, and

wherein the method further comprises determining the first device group or the second device group according to at least two of:

user identification information,

positions of the first main device, the second main device and the at least one sub-electronic device,

unique identification numbers of the first main device, the second main device and the at least one sub-electronic device, or

IP addresses of the first main device, the second main device and the at least one sub-electronic device.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the electronic device and the at least one sub-electronic device of the first device group are connected through wireless communication.
