According to various embodiments, an electronic device may include: a housing, a flexible display configured to change in a form in response to a movement of the housing, a communication circuit configured to perform communication through a plurality of communication schemes, and a processor operatively connected to the communication circuit. The processor may be configured to: based on identifying that the form of the display is changed from a second form to a first form, control the communication circuit to perform a communication connection in a first communication connection scheme different from a second communication connection scheme designated for the second form among the plurality of communication schemes and perform communication through the first communication connection scheme in the first form.

Electronic device and communication control method thereof

An electronic device capable of wireless charging for a pen-type input device includes a display, a touch panel coupled to the display and having a plurality of sides facing in different directions, a conductive trace connected to the touch panel to receive a touch signal detected on the touch panel, and a wireless charging pad configured to wirelessly transmit power to the pen-type input device and disposed adjacent to one side of the plurality of sides of the touch panel, and the conductive trace is disposed on another side of the plurality of sides of the touch panel, the another side of the touch panel being opposite to the one side of the touch panel.

Electronic device capable of wireless charging

A device and a method for reducing power consumption of an electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a display device, a battery, and at least one processor configured to be operatively connected to the display device, wherein the processor may determine whether to perform a handover to a second communication network, based on whether the display device is activated and a data throughput, in a state of connection to a first communication network among a plurality of communication networks supportable by the electronic device, and perform a handover to the second communication network when it is determined to perform the handover to the second communication network.

Electronic device for reducing power consumption and operating method thereof

An electronic device according to an embodiment may include: a battery; a connector including multiple pins; and at least one processor, and wherein the at least one processor is configured to: identify an external electronic device electrically connected through the connector, identify, among at least two supportable current values, a current value of power to be supplied to the external electronic device, and supply power of the battery to the external electronic device through the connector based on the identified current value.

Electronic device for supplying power and operation method thereof

The present disclosure relates to an electronic device, such as a system on chip, that may perform firmware updates based on user consent. The system on chip includes a nonvolatile memory (NVM), a main processor, a security NVM, and a security processor. The nonvolatile memory (NVM) stores first firmware and a user permission indicator. The main processor Loads the first firmware to boot a security processor. The security NVM contains first version information. The security processor compares version information of the first firmware to the first version information based on the user permission indicator and executes the first firmware in response to the matching of the comparison result. In some examples, the security processor is implemented on the same chip as the main processor.

Electronic device for updating firmware based on user authentication and an operating method thereof

According to various embodiments, an electronic device may include a housing including a first side, a second side facing away from the first side, and a lateral side surrounding a space between the first side and the second side, a front plate disposed on the first side of the housing, a display disposed between the front plate and the first side such that at least part thereof is exposed through the front plate, at least one functional member disposed between the display and the first side, and an adhesive member disposed between the functional member and the first side to attach the functional member to the housing, wherein adhesive member includes an adhesive portion for attaching the functional member and the first side, and at least one non-adhesive portion extending from the adhesive portion. Various other embodiments are possible.

Electronic device comprising removable adhesive member

An integrated circuit includes a system memory, a security processor and a non-security processor. An attack against the integrated circuit is made more difficult based on using a key generated by the security processor. The security processor, as an example, reads a program image from the system memory and generates the key based on the program image. In some instances, a dedicated communication channel is provided for communication between the non-security processor and the security processor. The dedicated channel may be used to provide the key to the non-security processor for performance of a security operation.

Apparatus and method for securely managing keys

According to various embodiments, an electronic device having a housing including three surfaces at least partially surrounding a space between a first and second surface, an opening formed to one portion of a side surface of the housing, and the portion extending to define a hole connected to the opening. The device includes a tray with four side surfaces and having a length capable of being entirely inserted into the hole, and detachable from the hole. The device further including a fixing structure disposed inside the hole in parallel with one side surface of the tray, and at least partially rotatable about an axis in a first direction about the hole. When inserted entirely into the hole, at least one portion of the tray contacts the fixing structure, and if the fixing structure at least partially rotates in the first direction, the tray is released from the hole.

Tray device and electronic device having the same

A mobile device is provided which includes a working memory having a memory area divided into a secure domain and a non-secure domain; and a system-on-chip configured to access and process contents stored in the secure domain. The system-on-chip includes a processing unit driven by at least one of a secure operating system and a non-secure operating system; at least one hardware block configured to access the contents according to control of the processing unit comprising a master port and a slave port which are set to have different security attributes; at least one memory management unit configured to control access of the at least one hardware block to the working memory; and an access control unit configured to set security attributes of the slave port and the master port or an access authority on each of the secure domain and the non-secure domain of the working memory.

System-on-chip processing secure contents and mobile device comprising the same
