Abstract

A method in which a second electronic device communicates with a neighbor device is provided. The method includes connecting to a first electronic device, receiving first information for a third electronic device from the first electronic device, and controlling the third electronic device using the first information, wherein the first information includes control right information for the third electronic device.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method in which a second electronic device communicates with a neighbor device, the method comprising:
wirelessly and directly connecting the second electronic device to a first electronic device;
receiving, by the second electronic device, first information for a third electronic device from the first electronic device; and
controlling, by the second electronic device, the third electronic device using the first information,
wherein the first information includes control right information for the third electronic device, and
wherein the first, second, and third electronic devices wirelessly and directly communicate with each other.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the controlling of the third electronic device comprises connecting to the third electronic device using the first information.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
transmitting second information for the third electronic device to the first electronic device; and
disconnecting from the third electronic device,
wherein the second information includes control right information for the third electronic device.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the controlling of the third electronic device comprises transmitting content of a service to the third electronic device using the first information.

5. A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium storing a program to execute a method in which a second electronic device communicates with a neighbor device, the method comprising:
wirelessly and directly connecting the second electronic device to a first electronic device;
receiving, by the second electronic device, first information for a third electronic device from the first electronic device; and
controlling, by the second electronic device, the third electronic device using the first information,
wherein the first information includes control right information for the third electronic device, and
wherein the first, second, and third electronic devices wirelessly and directly communicate with each other.

6. A second electronic device for communicating with a neighbor device, the second electronic device comprising:
a communication module; and
a processor configured to:
wirelessly and directly connect the second electronic device to a first electronic device through the communication module,
receive first information for a third electronic device from the first electronic device through the communication module, and
control the third electronic device using the first information,

wherein the first information includes control right information for the third electronic device, and
wherein the first, second, and third electronic devices wirelessly and directly communicate with each other.

7. A method in which a first electronic device communicates with a neighbor device, the method comprising:
wirelessly and directly connecting the first electronic device to a second electronic device;
transmitting, by the first electronic device, first information for a third electronic device to the second electronic device; and
disconnecting the first electronic device from the third electronic device,
wherein the first information includes control right information for the third electronic device, and
wherein the first, second, and third electronic devices wirelessly and directly communicate with each other.

8. The method of claim 7 , further comprising:
receiving second information for the third electronic device from the second electronic device; and
controlling the third electronic device using the second information,
wherein the second information includes control right information for the third electronic device.

9. A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium storing a program to execute a method in which a first electronic device communicates with a neighbor device, the method comprising:
wirelessly and directly connecting the first electronic device to a second electronic device;
transmitting, by the first electronic device, first information for a third electronic device to the second electronic device; and
disconnecting the first electronic device from the third electronic device,
wherein the first information includes control right information for the third electronic device, and
wherein the first, second, and third electronic devices wirelessly and directly communicate with each other.

10. A first electronic device for communicating with a neighbor device, the first electronic device comprising:
a communication module; and
a processor configured to:
wirelessly and directly connect the first electronic device to a second electronic device through the communication module,
transmit first information for a third electronic device to the second electronic device, and
disconnect from the third electronic device,

wherein the first information includes control right information for the third electronic device, and
wherein the first, second, and third electronic devices wirelessly and directly communicate with each other.

11. The non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of claim 5 , wherein the controlling of the third electronic device comprises connecting to the third electronic device using the first information.

12. The non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of claim 5 , further comprising:
transmitting second information for the third electronic device to the first electronic device; and
disconnecting from the third electronic device,
wherein the second information includes control right information for the third electronic device.

13. The non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of claim 5 , wherein the controlling of the third electronic device comprises transmitting content of a service to the third electronic device using the first information.

14. The second electronic device of claim 6 , wherein the controlling of the third electronic device comprises connecting to the third electronic device using the first information.

15. The second electronic device of claim 6 , further comprising:
transmitting second information for the third electronic device to the first electronic device; and
disconnecting from the third electronic device,
wherein the second information includes control right information for the third electronic device.

16. The second electronic device of claim 6 , wherein the controlling of the third electronic device comprises transmitting content of a service to the third electronic device using the first information.

17. The non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of claim 9 ,
wherein the first information includes connection information for the third electronic device, and
wherein the connection information for the third electronic device includes at least one of identification information of the third electronic device and network setting information of the third electronic device.

18. The non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of claim 9 , further comprising:
receiving second information for the third electronic device from the second electronic device; and
controlling the third electronic device using the second information,
wherein the second information includes control right information for the third electronic device.

19. The first electronic device of claim 10 ,
wherein the first information includes connection information for the third electronic device, and
wherein the connection information for the third electronic device includes at least one of identification information of the third electronic d
