Electronic device and method for recognizing the electronic device
First Claim
1. An electronic device comprising:
- a communication interface;
an amplifier; and
a processor configured to;
control the communication interface to transmit a first packet including information associated with communication in a shorter range than a set range for short-range communication, and to receive a second packet transmitted with low energy;
control the amplifier to amplify a transmission power of a packet to be transmitted through the communication interface; and
control the communication interface to transmit the first packet with a transmission power corresponding to the communication in the shorter range than the set range, when the received second packet includes the information associated with the communication in the shorter range than the set range.

Abstract
An electronic device and a method for recognizing an electronic device are provided. The method includes transmitting a first packet including information associated with communication in a shorter range than a range that is set for short-range communication or receiving a second packet transmitted with low energy, determining a distance to the electronic device having transmitted the received second packet based on the information associated with the communication in the shorter range than the set range, when the information associated with the communication in the shorter range than the set range is included in the received second packet, and controlling a transmission power to transmit the first packet to be transmitted over the determined distance.

15. A method for recognizing an electronic device, the method comprising:
-
transmitting a first packet including information associated with communication in a shorter range than a range that is set for short-range communication or receiving a second packet transmitted with low energy; determining a distance to the electronic device which transmits the received second packet, based on the information associated with the communication in the shorter range than the set range, when the information associated with the communication in the shorter range than the set range is included in the received second packet; and controlling a transmission power to transmit the first packet to be transmitted over the determined distance. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25)

26. An electronic device comprising:
-
a communication interface configured to perform short-range communication; and a processor configured to; control the communication interface to receive a second signal transmitted at a second transmission strength in a first time period when a first signal transmitted at a first transmission strength is not received, control the communication interface to receive at least one third signal transmitted at a third transmission strength that is lower than the first transmission strength and is higher than the second transmission strength in a second time period when the first signal or the second signal is not received, wherein the first signal comprises information associated with the first transmission strength, the second signal comprises information associated with the second transmission strength, and a header of a Packet Data Unit (PDU) included in the at least one third signal includes information associated with the third transmission strength. - View Dependent Claims (27, 28)
