Electronic device for transmitting data through uwb communication, and electronic device operating method

Abstract

An electronic device may include: a first communication circuit for transmitting or receiving data through first communication by using an ultra wide band (UWB); a second communication circuit for transmitting or receiving data through second communication, which differs from the first communication; and a processor, wherein the processor may be configured to: receive, from a first external electronic device and a second external electronic device, through the second communication circuit, an advertising message for requesting position measurement of the electronic device; activate the first communication circuit in response to the advertising message satisfying a designated condition; receive, from the first external electronic device, a first polling message for the position measurement of the electronic device; check whether to receive, from the second external electronic device, a second polling message for the position measurement of the electronic device for a time designated from the reception time of the first polling message; and broadcast, in response to the reception of the second polling message, a first response message including information for measurement of the distance between the electronic device and the first external electronic device and information for measurement of the distance between the electronic device and the second external electronic device. Various other embodiments are possible.
