1. An electronic device, comprising:
- a wireless communication module; and
a processor configured to;
transmit a broadcasting signal using at least one first channel predetermined among a plurality of channels, through the wireless communication module,identify at least one channel used to transmit at least one signal by at least one external device, using the wireless communication module,determine whether the at least one channel overlaps the at least one first channel,determine at least one second channel among a remainder of the plurality of channels when the at least one channel overlaps the at least one first channel, andtransmit another broadcasting signal using the at least one second channel, through the wireless communication module.

Abstract
Disclosed is a method and apparatus for supporting a beacon-based service. An electronic device may include a wireless communication module that may support short-range wireless communication and a processor that is functionally connected with the wireless communication module. The processor is configured to obtain a signal from at least one external device using the wireless communication module through the short-range wireless communication, determine at least one channel out of a plurality of channels based on at least a channel that obtains the signal or the intensity of the signal, and transmit, to another external device, a broadcasting signal using the at least one channel.

8. An electronic device, comprising:
-
a communication module; and a processor configured to; receive data, through the communication module, on a plurality of channels scanned by a first external device that transmits a broadcasting signal using at least one first channel predetermined among the plurality of channels, identify at least one channel used to transmit at least one signal by at least another first external device based on the data, determine whether the at least one channel overlaps the at least one first channel, determine at least one second channel among a remainder of the plurality of channels when the at least one channel overlaps the at least one first channel, and transmit information associated with the at least one second channel to the first external device through the communication module so that the first external device transmits another broadcasting signal using the at least one second channel. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10)
