Abstract
An electronic device includes a sensor, an interface, and at least one processor. According to a method of controlling the device, the at least one processor is configured to perform an initial function corresponding to a proximity event, responsive to detecting the proximity event through the sensor; identify an external device corresponding to the detected proximity event through the interface; identify a type of a subsequent event caused by the identified external device, responsive to detecting the subsequent event while performing the initial function; and perform a supplementary function related to a content corresponding to the identified type of the subsequent event among a plurality of supplementary functions related to the content providable corresponding to the initial function.
