Abstract
A method and apparatus capable of forwarding notification or information related to a function, generated from a given device, to a user through a device near (or in proximity to) the user by interworking a plurality of electronic devices, are provided. An electronic device includes a communication interface and a processor. The processor is configured to obtain a first message related to notification from an external device, identify a target electronic device for notification output based on the location of a user and notification output performance of each of a plurality of electronic devices capable of communication with the electronic device, and transmit a second message related to the notification to the target electronic device so that the identified target electronic device outputs the notification.
