1. An electronic device comprising:
memory;
a communication circuit;
a touch screen display; and
at least one processor, comprising processing circuitry, operatively connected to the memory, the communication circuit, and the touch screen display,
wherein the memory stores instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, individually and/or collectively, cause the electronic device to:
obtain identification information of an external display device, based on the electronic device being operatively connected with the external display device, a first screen being displayed in the touch screen display, and a second screen different from the first screen being displayed in the external display device;
obtain identification information of at least one input device from the at least one input device located within a threshold proximity of the electronic device through the communication circuit;
compare the obtained identification information of the at least one input device with reference information of input devices stored to be correlated with the identification information of the external display device in the memory;
connect to the at least one input device, based on a result of comparison; and
based on the connection with the external display device being released, disable a connection allowance authority with respect to the at least one input device.
