Abstract: An example electronic device may include a display module, a communication module, a physical input device, and a processor. The processor may detect a trigger related to external device control from the electronic device and identify a capability to be controlled by the external device, based on the detection of the trigger. The processor may change a first function configured to cause a designated physical input device of the electronic device to operate, to a second function related to control of the identified capability of the external device and control the capability of the external device on the basis of detection of a user input through the physical input device.

Abstract: An electronic device includes a display, a communicator that establishes a connection to at least one Internet of Things (IoT) device, and a processor configured to receive information on an event from the at least one IoT device in response to detecting the event occurring in the at least one IoT device, update a graphic object for a category based on a merge between the detected event and another event according to a priority of each event in response to classifying the detected event into the category in which the other event previously occurring is pending among preset categories, and display the graphic object for the classified category on the display based on a graphic object for another category and a priority of each category.
