An accessory device for covering an electronic device, according to various embodiments of the present invention, comprises: a cover part including a front cover for covering at least a part of the front side of the electronic device, a rear cover for covering at least a part of the rear side of the electronic device, and a side part for connecting the front cover and the rear cover; a first component arranged on the front cover; a second component arranged on the inner side of the rear cover; and a printed circuit board electrically connected to the first component and the second component and arranged from the front cover to the rear cover while traversing the side part, wherein at least part of the printed circuit board can include a flexible structure in the folding region of the cover part, corresponding to the movement of the front cover.

Accessory device comprising printed circuit board having flexible structure

An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a sensor, a touch screen, and a processor that activates a first area corresponding to at least a part of the touch screen for determining whether a cover device mounted to the electronic device opens or closes, and determines whether the cover device opens or closes based on a touch input corresponding to a specific pattern included in the cover device, sensed through the activated first area of the touch screen, and based on information on whether the cover device is in proximity to the electronic device, sensed through the sensor.

Electronic device for detecting opening and closing of cover device and method of operating same

An accessory apparatus and an information display method are provided. The accessory apparatus include a housing, a display exposed through a first portion of the housing, a conductive pattern, a wireless communication circuit configured to support a short-range wireless communication protocol, at least one processor, and a memory, wherein the memory stores instructions that allow the at least one processor to control the wireless communication circuit to operate in the first mode, operate in the second mode in which the second type of external electronic device is allowed to read the second data for the second time period following the first time period, detect the existence of the second type of external electronic device at one or more points of time in the first time period, and switch into the second mode when the existence of the second type of external electronic device is detected.

Electronic device, accessory apparatus and information displaying method using the same

An operating method of an electronic device is provided. The method includes selecting a file generated by the electronic device or received from another electronic device and transmitting file information based on the file to a memory device through short range communication.
