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 first control information for controlling a function of at least one first external device from the at least one first external device being served 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;
determining second control information for controlling the function corresponding to the at least one second external device based on the first control information; and
controlling, by the electronic device, the function corresponding to the at least one second external device at least based on the determined second control information.

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.

11. An electronic device, comprising:
-
a communication interface; and a processor configured to; receive first control information for controlling a function of at least one first external device from the at least one first external device being served in communication using the communication interface; execute an application that provides at least one function; determine information associated with at least one second external device that provides a function corresponding to the at least one function of the application from the at least one first external device; determine, second control information for controlling the function corresponding to the at least one second external device based on the first control information; and control, by the electronic device, the function corresponding to the at least one second external device at least based on the determined second control information. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
