The wearable electronic device may be associated with a controller (or processor) including at least one light emitting diode (LED), and executes the virtual game displayed on the glasses according to the operation of the controller.

[0007] The wearable electronic device may perform an erroneous operation by recognizing the controller of another user when a controller associated with another user's wearable electronic device other than the controller associated with itself exists in a designated space.

[0008] For example, when a second controller associated with a second wearable electronic device approaches the first wearable electronic device while a game is being executed by the first wearable electronic device using the first controller, the first wearable electronic device may perform an erroneous operation by recognizing an operation signal of the second controller of the second wearable electronic device in addition to the first controller associated with itself.

According to an embodiment, the processor may be configured to recognize that a first controller and a second controller are detected in a specified space through at least one of the first recognition camera and the second recognition camera, wherein each of the first controller and the second controller has an LED disposed therein. According to an embodiment, the processor may be configured to send a control signal to the first controller to cause the LED disposed in the first controller to operate at a first turn-on time. The processor may be configured to send a control signal to the second controller to cause the LED disposed in the second controller to operate at a second turn-on time.

[0012] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, a method for identifying a first controller and a second controller by a wearable electronic device may include a processor identifying that the first controller and the second controller are detected in a specified space through at least one of a first recognition camera and a second recognition camera, wherein each of the first controller and the second controller has an LED disposed therein.

According to an embodiment, the method may include the processor sending a control signal that causes the LED disposed in the second controller to operate at a second turn-on time to the second controller.

[0013] Advantageous Effects of the Invention According to various embodiments of the present disclosure, each wearable electronic device among multiple wearable electronic devices and controllers can identify a controller associated with itself, thereby preventing the corresponding wearable electronic device from erroneously identifying a controller of another user other than the controller associated with itself.

[0014] According to various embodiments of the present disclosure, a first controller of a first wearable electronic device and a second controller of a second wearable electronic device have the same LED light cycle and different turn-on time timings, so that the first wearable electronic device can identify the first controller based on the LED light cycle and the first turn-on time timing, and the second wearable electronic device can identify the second controller based on the LED light cycle and the second turn-on time timing.

According to an embodiment, the electronic device 101 may communicate with the electronic device 104 via the server 108. According to an embodiment, the electronic device 101 may include a processor 120, a memory 130, an input module 150, a sound output module 155, a display module 160, an audio module 170, a sensor module 176, an interface 177, a connection terminal 178, a haptic module 179, a camera module 180, a power management module 188, a battery 189, a communication module 190, a user identification module (SIM) 196, or an antenna module 197. In some embodiments, at least one of the above components (e.g., the connection terminal 178) may be omitted from the electronic device 101, or one or more other components may be added to the electronic device 101. In some embodiments, some of the above-described components (eg, sensor module 176, camera module 180, or antenna module 197) may be implemented as a single integrated component (eg, display module 160).

[0020] The processor 120 may run, for example, software (e.g., program 140) to control at least one other component (e.g., hardware component or software component) of the electronic device 101 connected to the processor 120, and may perform various data processing or calculations. According to one embodiment, as at least part of the data processing or calculation, the processor 120 may store a command or data received from another component (e.g., sensor module 176 or communication module 190) in the volatile memory 132, process the command or data stored in the volatile memory 132, and store the resultant data in the non-volatile memory 134. According to an embodiment, the processor 120 may include a main processor 121 (e.g., a central processing unit (CPU) or an application processor (AP)) or an auxiliary processor 123 (e.g., a graphics processing unit (GPU), a neural processing unit (NPU), an image signal processor (ISP), a sensor hub processor, or a communication processor (CP)) that is independent of or combined with the main processor 121 in operation. For example, when the electronic device 101 includes a main processor 121 and an auxiliary processor 123, the auxiliary processor 123 may be adapted to consume less power than the main processor 121, or adapted to be dedicated to a specific function. The auxiliary processor 123 may be implemented separately from the main processor 121, or as part of the main processor 121.

[0021] When the main processor 121 is in an inactive (e.g., sleep) state, the auxiliary processor 123 (rather than the main processor 121) may control at least some of the functions or states related to at least one component among the components of the electronic device 101 (e.g., the display module 160, the sensor module 176, or the communication module 190), or when the main processor 121 is in an active state (e.g., running an application), the auxiliary processor 123 may control at least some of the functions or states related to at least one component among the components of the electronic device 101 (e.g., the display module 160, the sensor module 176, or the communication module 190) together with the main processor 121.

The communication module 190 may include one or more communication processors capable of operating independently from the processor 120 (e.g., an application processor (AP)) and supporting direct (e.g., wired) communication or wireless communication. According to an embodiment, the communication module 190 may include a wireless communication module 192 (e.g., a cellular communication module, a short-range wireless communication module, or a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) communication module) or a wired communication module 194 (e.g., a local area network (LAN) communication module or a power line communication (PLC) module). A corresponding one of these communication modules can communicate with an external electronic device via a first network 198 (e.g., a short-range communication network such as Bluetooth, Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi) Direct, or Infrared Data Association (IrDA)) or a second network 199 (e.g., a long-range communication network such as a traditional cellular network, a 5G network, a next-generation communication network, the Internet, or a computer network (e.g., a LAN or a wide area network (WAN))). These various types of communication modules may be implemented as a single component (e.g., a single chip), or may be implemented as multiple components (e.g., multiple chips) separated from each other. The wireless communication module 192 may identify and authenticate the electronic device 101 in a communication network (such as the first network 198 or the second network 199) using user information (e.g., an International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI)) stored in the user identification module 196.

A signal or power may then be transmitted or received between the communication module 190 and the external electronic device via the selected at least one antenna. According to an embodiment, another component (e.g., a radio frequency integrated circuit (RFIC)) other than the radiation element may be additionally formed as a part of the antenna module 197.
