Abstract: An apparatus and method for providing one or more protocols for one or more electronic devices are provided. The method includes establishing, by an electronic device configured to provide a framework interface by executing instructions stored in a memory, one or more physical channels with an external electronic device, using one or more communication modules, executing, by the electronic device, two or more application programs to interface with the framework interface, and communicating, via the framework interface, data from the two or more application programs through the one or more physical channels to the external electronic device, using at least one logical channel or session for a respective one of the two or more application programs.

Abstract: An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a housing including a first face that faces in a first direction, a second face that faces in a second direction that is opposite to the first direction, and a side face that at least partially encloses a space between the first face and the second face, a transparent substrate that forms at least a portion of the first face of the housing, a display disposed within the space of the housing, and exposed through at least a portion of the transparent substrate, a mechanical watch structure at least partially disposed between the transparent substrate and the display, and configured to be physically movable, at least one processor electrically connected to the display and the mechanical watch structure, and a memory electrically connected to the at least one processor. The memory may store instructions that, when executed, cause the at least one processor to control the display and the mechanical watch structure.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are provided for connecting with an external device. A current status of an electronic device is determined when wireless communication with at least one external device is disconnected. A preset time interval corresponding to the current status is determined. An attempt is made to reconnect with the at least one external device based on the preset time interval.

Abstract: A wearable electronic device is provided. The wearable electronic device includes a wear-or-not of a user for the wearable electronic device and limit at least one linked function using data transmitted and received to and from another electronic device, when the determining of the wear-or-not is determined as a non-wear state.
