An embodiment of the present disclosure relates to an electronic device and a method for performing, through at least two heterogeneous communication interfaces, distributed processing on control signals to be transmitted to or received from an external device. To this end, the electronic device may comprise a communication unit and at least one processor. The at least one processor is configured to identify that an external electronic device is connected through an HDMI cable, check whether the external electronic device supports a direct communication method using a wireless resource, transmit information for identifying a predetermined MAC address so as to establish wireless communication with the external electronic device according to the direct communication method based on the external electronic device supporting the direct communication method, and control the communication unit transmit, to the external electronic device through the wireless communication, at least some of the control signals to be transmitted to the external electronic device through a bidirectional serial bus terminal provided in the HDMI cable.

A transmission apparatus includes a communication interface configured to communicate with a reception apparatus, and a controller configured to acquire a depth image obtained by at least one depth camera measuring distances to a subject within a measurement range, identify, with reference to the acquired depth image, a window corresponding to a position of the subject from among a plurality of windows set within the measurement range and aligned in a depth direction, transmit a window identifier identifying the identified window to the reception apparatus via the communication interface, and for each pixel of the depth image, convert a measured distance into a relative distance within the window and transmit a resulting converted value as pixel data to the reception apparatus via the communication interface.
