       FIG.  10    is a flowchart showing an operation method of the server  201  according to an embodiment of the disclosure. 
     Referring to  FIG.  10   , in operation  1010 , the server  201  may receive position information. In an embodiment, the server  201  may receive the position information of an electronic device newly entering the indoor space  230 . 
     In operation  1020 , the server  201  may determine whether the electronic device newly entering the indoor space  230  is a new electronic device. In an embodiment, the server  201  may determine that the electronic device newly entering the indoor space  230  is a new electronic device when identification information of the electronic device newly entering the indoor space  230  is not stored in the server  201  or the database server  205 . 
     In operation  1020 , when the electronic device newly entering the indoor space  230  is a new electronic device, the server  201  may perform operation  1030 . In operation  1020 , when the electronic device newly entering the indoor space  230  is not a new electronic device, the server  201  may terminate the operation according to  FIG.  10   . 
     In operation  1030 , the server  201  may determine whether an electronic device of the same or similar type as that of the new electronic device exists. The server  201  may identify an electronic device of the same or similar type as that of the new electronic device among the plurality of electronic devices  231 ,  233 , and  235  existing in the indoor space  230 , based on product information of the new electronic device. In this regard, electronic devices having the same product information may be identified as the same type of electronic devices. Electronic devices having similar product information may be identified as similar types of electronic devices. Electronic devices used sequentially (e.g., a washing machine and a dryer) may be similar types of electronic devices, and electronic devices used simultaneously (e.g., a television and a speaker) may be similar types of electronic devices. 
     When, in operation  1030 , an electronic device of the same or similar type as that of the new electronic device is present, the server  201  may perform operation  1040 . When, in operation  1030 , there is no electronic device of the same or similar type as that of the new electronic device, the server  201  may terminate the operation according to  FIG.  10   . 
     In operation  1040 , the server  201  may set a condition for the user electronic device related to the new electronic device as an existing condition. In an embodiment, the server  201  may set at least on of an authority granting condition or a use condition for the electronic devices  221  and  225  related to the new electronic device as at least one of an authority granting condition or use conditions set for the electronic devices  221  and  225  in relation to another electronic device (e.g., the electronic device  231 ) of the same or similar type as that of the new electronic device. 
     The electronic device according to various embodiments may be one of various types of electronic devices. The electronic devices may include, for example, a portable communication device (e.g., a smartphone), a computer device, a portable multimedia device, a portable medical device, a camera, a wearable device, or a home appliance. According to an embodiment of the disclosure, the electronic devices are not limited to those described above.
