Method of controlling function and electronic device supporting same
First Claim
1. A method of controlling a function by an electronic device, the method comprising:
- receiving, by the electronic device, an input on a first object of an application;
displaying, by the electronic device, based on the input, a second object and a third object through a display of the electronic device, the second object being an object for separately controlling at least one function of at least one first external device, the third object being an object for controlling the function of the application and the at least one function of the at least one first external device at once; and
controlling at least one of the function of the application or at least one function of the at least one first external device, based on an input on the second object or the third object.

Abstract
A method of controlling a function by an electronic device is provided. The method including: receiving first control information for controlling a function of at least one first external device, from the at least one first external device connected in communication using a communication interface; executing, by the electronic device, an application that provides at least one function; determining, from the at least one first external device, information associated with at least one second external device that provides a function corresponding to the at least one function of the application, and determining, from the first control information, second control information for controlling the corresponding function of the at least one second external device; and controlling, by the electronic device, the corresponding function of the at least one second external device at least based on the determined second control information.
