An electronic device includes: a communication circuit; a camera; a display; and a processor configured to: display, while providing virtual service, a first virtual object through the display; identify a distance between the first virtual object and a second virtual object corresponding to a user of the electronic device; based on identifying that the distance is equal to or less than a reference distance, activate the camera; identify a state of the user based on at least one image obtained by using the activated camera; and transmit, to an external electronic device through the communication circuit, data for changing a state of the second virtual object displayed through a display of the external electronic device, based on the identified state of the user.

Electronic device for controlling virtual object based on distance between virtual objects and method thereof

An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes wireless communication with an external device, that determines a reference display position at which an extended screen of a mobile device is to be provided based on a wireless communication signal of the external device, and when a portion of the extended screen is included in a field of view (FOV), provides a user with the extended screen starting with the portion coming into the FOV.

Method and device to display extended screen of mobile device

An electronic device, according to various embodiments, may comprise: a first antenna for obtaining power to be used for executing a function from a wireless signal transmitted from an external electronic device; and a second antenna for identifying information related to the function from the wireless signal. The first antenna, which is relatively larger than the second antenna, may be selectively opened or connected by means of a switch. When the wireless signal transmitted from the external electronic device includes identification information corresponding to the electronic device, the first antenna may be electrically connected to thus have a closed loop structure. The electronic device may electrically separate the first antenna. The first antenna may be electrically separated to thus have an open loop structure. The first antenna having an open loop structure may not interfere with wireless communication between the external electronic device and another external electronic device.

Electronic device and method for selectively opening or connecting switch connected to antenna based on identification information received from external electronic device

An electronic device includes a contact sensing module for sensing a human body contact of a conductive object located outside the electronic device. The electronic device also has a position sensing module for sensing a contact position of the human body with which the conductive object is in contact from outside the electronic device. In addition a processor is included for displaying a graphic in a region of a display corresponding to the sensed contact position when a position of the human body is sensed through the position sensing module while contact of the human body is sensed through the contact sensing module.
