Abstract
An electronic device, a related mobile device, and control methods thereof are provided. The electronic device includes a transceiver, a switch unit including switching circuitry, and a controller. The transceiver includes a first antenna having first directionality toward a first directional area, a second antenna having second directionality toward a second directional area, and a third antenna having omni-directionality in all directions. The switching circuitry selectively activates or deactivates each antenna. The controller controls the switching circuitry to deactivate the third antenna and activate the second antenna when a first event occurs in connection with a mobile device located in the first directional area during omnidirectional communication through the third antenna.
