Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a wireless communication method using near field communication, and an electronic device, and in the electronic device supporting first near field communication and second near field communication, a request for the second near field communication is confirmed while the electronic device is connected to a first external device through the first near field communication, circumstantial information related to the first external device (for example, the intensity of an electric field signal) is checked on the basis of at least the confirmation, and a second external device can be connected to the first external device (for example, an AP) or to a third external device (for example, base station (server)) through the electronic device by using the second near field communication, when the circumstantial information satisfies a predetermined condition. In addition, other examples are possible.
