1. An electronic device comprising:
communication circuitry for Bluetooth low energy (BLE);
memory comprising one or more storage media storing instructions; and
at least one processor comprising processing circuitry,
wherein the instructions, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the electronic device to:
broadcast a first advertising packet via the communication circuitry,
receive, via the communication circuitry, a second advertising packet broadcasted from a first external electronic device based on the first advertising packet, the second advertising packet at least including a control command for media playable in the electronic device,
in response to receiving the second advertising packet, transmit a first signal for identifying whether the first external electronic device is included in a defined area from a second external electronic device, via the communication circuitry, through an established communication link between the electronic device and the second external electronic device, to the second external electronic device, wherein the first external electronic device is distinct from the second external electronic device;
receive, through the established communication link, from the second external electronic device via the communication circuitry, a second signal generated in response to the first signal,
in response to receiving the second signal indicating that the first external electronic device is included in the defined area via the communication circuitry, perform the control command for the media, and
based on performing the control command for the media, broadcast, via the communication circuitry, a third advertising packet, for indicating to the first external electronic device, that the control command for the media has been performed.
