[0045] The communication module 190 may support establishing a direct (e.g., wired) communication channel or a wireless communication channel between the electronic device 101 and an external electronic device (e.g., the electronic device 102, the electronic device 104, or the server 108), and performing communication via the established communication channel. The communication module 190 may include one or more communication processors capable of operating independently of the processor 120 (e.g., an application processor (AP)), and support direct (e.g., wired) communication or wireless communication. According to an embodiment, the communication module 190 may include a wireless communication module 192 (e.g., a cellular communication module, a short-range wireless communication module, or a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) communication module) or a wired communication module 194 (e.g., a local area network (LAN) communication module or a power line communication (PLC) module). Each of these communication modules may communicate with an external electronic device via a first network 198 (e.g., a short-range communication network, such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi Direct, or Infrared Data Association (IrDA)) or a second network 199 (e.g., a long-range communication network, such as a traditional cellular network, a 5G network, a next-generation communication network, the Internet, or a computer network (e.g., LAN or wide area network (WAN))). These various types of communication modules may be implemented as a single component (e.g., a single chip), or these various types of communication modules may be implemented as multiple separate components (e.g., multiple chips). The wireless communication module 192 may identify and authenticate the electronic device 101 in a communication network (such as the first network 198 or the second network 199) using user information (e.g., an international mobile subscriber identity (IMSI)) stored in the user identification module 196.

[0051] Figure 2 is a block diagram 200 of an electronic device according to various embodiments.

[0052] Referring to Figure 2 , the electronic device 201 (e.g., Figure 1 the electronic device 101) may include a processor 220, a memory 230, a display 260, a sensor module 276, a camera module 280, and / or a communication module 290.

[0053] According to various embodiments, the processor 220 may control the overall operation of the electronic device 201 and may communicate with Figure 1is the same as the processor 120 or can execute at least one function or operation executed by the processor 120.

[0054] According to various embodiments, when the camera interface is activated, the processor 220 may determine an external electronic device for image sharing based on sensor information received from the sensor module 276, multiple pieces of the same signal information received through the first communication module 291, and / or the viewing angle information of the camera corresponding to the currently set shooting mode, and may transmit the captured image to the external electronic device for image sharing based on the selection of the graphic object provided by the camera interface. The multiple pieces of the same signal may indicate signals obtained by receiving one response signal using multiple antennas of the electronic device 201. For example, a ranging response signal transmitted from an external electronic device in response to a ranging request signal transmitted from the electronic device 201 to the external electronic device may represent the same frequency signal in the UWB band received through multiple UWB antennas.

[0055] According to an embodiment, the external electronic device may indicate an electronic device capable of transmitting a UWB signal (e.g., a ranging request message and a ranging response message) to the electronic device 201 and receiving the UWB signal from the electronic device 201 through a ultra-wideband (UWB) communication module serving as the first communication module 291.

[0056] According to an embodiment, the sharing external electronic device may indicate an external electronic device capable of sharing an image among at least one external electronic device capable of transmitting and receiving a UWB signal through the electronic device 201 and a ultra-wideband (UWB) communication module serving as the first communication module 291.

[0057] According to an embodiment, the non-sharing external electronic device may indicate an external electronic device that does not share an image among at least one external electronic device capable of transmitting and receiving a UWB signal through the electronic device 201 and a ultra-wideband (UWB) communication module serving as the first communication module 291.

[0058] According to an embodiment, the shared external electronic device may indicate an electronic device related to a subject included in an image acquired from the camera module 280 in a camera interface (e.g., camera preview mode). For example, when an image including a first user acquired from the camera module 280 is displayed in a camera interface (e.g., camera preview mode), a first external electronic device of the first user that is close to the first user may be determined as the shared external electronic device. According to an embodiment, the processor 220 may use sensor information received from the sensor module 276 to determine a first orientation that may change according to the shooting direction information of the subject-facing electronic device. The processor 220 may determine a first orientation including the shooting direction of the electronic device based on the raw data received from the sensor module 276, where the shooting direction is a relative direction with respect to the magnetic north direction as an absolute orientation. The sensor module 276 may include a 9-axis motion sensor and may include, for example, an acceleration sensor, a gyro sensor, or a geomagnetic sensor, and the acceleration sensor, the gyro sensor, and the geomagnetic sensor may be configured as triaxial sensors. The processor 220 may use the 9-axis motion sensor to determine orientation information, roll information, and / or pitch information, and may use the geomagnetic sensor to determine orientation information.

[0059] According to an embodiment, the processor 220 may use a plurality of identical signals received from an external electronic device through the first communication module 291 to determine a second orientation that may change according to the direction information of the external electronic device. The processor 220 may calculate the time for transmitting and receiving UWB signals (e.g., ranging request messages and ranging response messages) between the electronic device 201 and the external electronic device through the first communication module 291, a UWB communication module, to determine distance information (e.g., ranging information) between the electronic device 201 and the external electronic device. The processor 220 may receive a ranging response signal from the external electronic device through a plurality of antennas, and may use the difference between a first reception time of the ranging response signal received through a first antenna among the plurality of antennas and a second reception time of the ranging response signal received through a second antenna among the plurality of antennas to determine distance information and direction information (e.g., angle of arrival (AOA)) as the position information of the external electronic device. The processor 220 may obtain magnetic north direction information as an absolute orientation through the sensor module 276. The processor 220 may determine the second orientation based on the azimuth difference between the magnetic north direction as an absolute orientation and the relative orientation of the direction information (e.g., angle of arrival (AOA)) of the external electronic device. The processor 220 may set the first orientation determined through the sensor module 276 as a reference direction, and may determine the second orientation by relatively calculating the direction information (e.g., angle of arrival (AOA)) of the external electronic device from the reference direction.

[0060] According to an embodiment, the processor 220 may determine a third azimuth that may be changed according to the movement direction information of the electronic device through the third communication module 295. When the third communication module 295 receives satellite position information through the global navigation satellite system (GNSS) communication module, which is the third communication module 295 communication module, the processor 220 may determine the third azimuth including the movement direction of the electronic device.

[0061] According to an embodiment, the processor 220 may determine ultra-wideband (UWB) communication compatibility information from the first information (e.g., BLE packet message or user registration information) received through the second communication module 293, and may activate the first communication module 291 to perform UWB communication with an external electronic device based on the UWB communication compatibility information.

[0062] According to an embodiment, the processor 220 may determine the viewing angle range of the camera corresponding to the currently activated shooting mode among multiple shooting modes (e.g., ultra-wide mode, wide mode, telephoto mode, panoramic mode, single take mode, and / or video mode) according to the activation of the camera interface.

[0063] According to an embodiment, when the first azimuth including the shooting direction of the electronic device from the magnetic north direction towards the subject and the second azimuth including the direction of the external electronic device from the magnetic north direction are included in the field of view of the camera, the processor 220 may determine the external electronic device that has sent a response signal to the first communication module 291 as a shared external electronic device. The processor 220 may set the first azimuth determined through the sensor module 276 as a reference direction, and may determine the second azimuth by relatively calculating the direction information (e.g., angle of arrival (AOA)) of the external electronic device from the reference direction.

[0064] According to an embodiment, when the first azimuth including the shooting direction of the electronic device from the magnetic north direction towards the subject, the second azimuth including the direction of the external electronic device from the magnetic north direction, and the third azimuth including the movement direction of the electronic device are all included in the viewing angle of the camera, the processor 220 may determine the external electronic device that has sent a response signal to the first communication module 291 as a shared external electronic device. For example, when the third azimuth is further included, the accuracy of the position information of the external electronic device may be improved.

[0065] According to an embodiment, the processor 220 may monitor the data of the first azimuth, the second azimuth, and the third azimuth, and may perform an error correction operation on the data of the corresponding azimuth when at least one of the first azimuth, the second azimuth, and the third azimuth is outside a predetermined range.

[0066] According to an embodiment, when the camera interface is activated, the processor 220 may display, on the camera interface, a first graphical object that provides analysis information of an image obtained from the camera module 280 (e.g., Figure 11 the first graphical object 1130), a second graphical object that provides identification information about a subject included in the image (e.g., Figure 11 the second graphical object 1150), and a third graphical object for sending the captured image to a shared external electronic device (e.g., Figure 11 the third graphical object 1170).

[0067] According to an embodiment, the processor 220 may analyze an image obtained in real time from the camera module 280 on the camera interface and display a first graphical object (e.g., a scene message) corresponding to the analysis result. The processor 220 may receive, from an artificial intelligence (AI) server connected to a network (e.g., Figure 1 the electronic device 104 or the server 108) or the processor 220 included in the processor 220, a first graphical object corresponding to a scene analysis result of the image obtained from the camera module 280, and may display the first graphical object on the camera interface. For example, as a result of a scene analysis of the image obtained from the camera module 280, the first graphical object may display information about a face, a person, a scene, or an object as the first graphical object.

[0068] According to an embodiment, the processor 220 may display, on the camera interface, a second graphical object that provides identification information about a subject included in the image obtained from the camera module 280 (e.g., Figure 11second graphic objects 1150a and 1150b). The processor 220 may detect a subject included in an image obtained from the camera module 280, and may display a second graphic object corresponding to the identification information in an area adjacent to the subject displayed in the image when the identification information of the subject is registered in the memory 230. The processor 220 may determine the position of an adjacent area corresponding to a position that does not cover the subject (e.g., face) identified through the face recognition function, and may display the second graphic object in the determined adjacent area. When the identification information of the subject included in the image is not registered in the memory 230, the processor 220 may display a second graphic object indicating that there is no identification information near the subject displayed in the image. For example, the face recognition function may be used to detect a first user in an image obtained from the camera module 280, and when the face authentication information of the first user is registered in the memory 230, the name information of the first user corresponding to the face authentication information of the first user may be displayed as a second graphic object in an area adjacent to the first user displayed in the image. The face authentication information may include profile information of the first user, and the profile information of the first user may include image (e.g., photo) information of the first user and personal information (e.g., name information) stored corresponding to the image information. According to an embodiment, the processor 220 may display a third graphic object (e.g., Figure 11 third graphic object 1170) that can send the captured image to a shared external electronic device.

[0069] According to an embodiment, when any one of a video mode, a panoramic mode, or a burst mode is activated in the camera interface, the processor 220 may start shooting when a third graphic object corresponding to the start of shooting is input, may determine a shared external electronic device based on a ranging response signal received from the external electronic device during the shooting period, may end shooting when a third graphic object corresponding to the end of shooting is input, and may automatically send the captured video file to the shared external electronic device.

[0070] According to an embodiment, the processor 220 may simultaneously display images obtained from the front camera and the rear camera of the camera module 280 in the camera interface. The processor 220 may display a first image obtained from the rear camera on a first partial area of the camera interface, and may display a second image obtained from the front camera on a second partial area of the camera interface. The processor 220 may display an indicator including a plurality of position icons on a third graphical object for transmitting a captured image, where the plurality of position icons indicate each of a plurality of peripheral external electronic devices capable of transmitting and receiving UWB signals through the first communication module 291. When the indicator is displayed on the third graphical object, the processor 220 may change and display a position icon indicating a first shared external electronic device related to a subject included in the first image (e.g., a position icon corresponding to the first shared external electronic device included in a first shared area c1 mapped to a viewing angle range A1 of the camera corresponding to Figure 18 ), a position icon indicating a non-shared external electronic device (e.g., a position icon corresponding to the non-shared external electronic device included in a non-shared area c2 not mapped to the viewing angle ranges A1 to A2 of the camera corresponding to Figure 18 ), and a position icon indicating a second shared external electronic device related to a subject included in the second image (e.g., a position icon corresponding to the second shared external electronic device included in a second shared area c3 mapped to a viewing angle range A2 of the camera corresponding to Figure 18 ), depending on the viewing field range of the camera, which is changed to correspond to the type of the shooting mode of the camera. According to an embodiment, when the camera interface (e.g., camera preview mode) is activated, the processor 220 may store an image obtained from the camera module 280 when the camera interface is activated in a first area of the memory 230 (e.g., an area for storing an image for a predetermined time when the camera interface is activated), may detect, when the third graphical object is selected, an image corresponding to the selection time of the third graphical object from among the images stored in the first area of the memory 230 as a captured image, may store the detected captured image in a second area of the memory 230 (e.g., an area for storing an image selected by the user through the third graphical object, e.g., an area corresponding to a photo gallery), and may convert the detected captured image according to a set transmission method and transmission quality information (e.g., HD / FHD / UHD / 4K / 8K) to transmit it to a shared external electronic device. The set transmission method may use the second communication module 293 or the fourth communication module 297. For example, the second communication module 293 may use a short-range communication network such as Bluetooth, WiFi Direct, or IrDA, and the fourth communication module 297 may use a long-range network such as a traditional cellular network, 5G network, next-generation communication network, Internet, or computer network, but is not limited to the above examples.

[0071] According to an embodiment, when the camera interface is activated, the processor 220 may temporarily store an image acquired from the camera module 280 in a buffer for a predetermined time. When a frame corresponding to the image is temporarily stored in the buffer for the predetermined time, when the third graphic object is selected, the image corresponding to the selection time of the third graphic object may be stored as a captured image in the second area of the memory 230, and the captured image stored in the second area of the memory 230 may be converted according to a set transmission method and sent to a shared external electronic device.

[0072] According to an embodiment, the processor 220 may display, on the third graphic object, model information of the shared external electronic device or name information specified by the user of the shared external electronic device or the user of the electronic device as an indicator. The processor 220 may display different indicators on the third graphic object based on at least one of analysis information of an image acquired from the camera module 280 in the camera interface, location information (e.g., distance information and / or direction information) from the shared external electronic device, and identification information of the shared external electronic device received through the second communication module 293. The processor 220 may display, on the third graphic object, an indicator indicating the type of a subject (e.g., a person or a device) included in the image and the direction of the shared external electronic device based on analysis information of an image acquired from the camera module 280 and / or location information (e.g., distance information and / or direction information) of the shared external electronic device determined using the first communication module 291.

[0073] According to an embodiment, the processor 220 may display an indicator indicating the type of the subject (e.g., a device) included in the image and the direction of the shared external electronic device on the third graphic object based on the analysis information of the image obtained from the camera module 280, the position information of the shared external electronic device (e.g., distance information and / or direction information) determined using the first communication module 291, and / or the identification information of the shared external electronic device included in the first information (e.g., a BLE packet message) received through the second communication module 293. When the type of the subject is determined to be a thing (e.g., an external electronic device) based on the analysis information of the image obtained from the camera module 280, the processor 220 may send an image related to the information about the thing (e.g., an external electronic device) (e.g., an image of a user including the external electronic device) to the thing (e.g., the external electronic device). When the type of the subject is determined to be an object (e.g., an external electronic device) based on the analysis information of the image obtained from the camera module 280, the processor 220 may connect to the thing (e.g., an external electronic device) through a pairing operation and may send the captured image to the connected object (e.g., an external electronic device) to share the captured image with the object (e.g., the external electronic device) in real time. According to an embodiment, the processor 220 may display an indicator indicating the direction of the shared external electronic device on the third graphic object based on the position information of the shared external electronic device (e.g., distance information and / or direction information) determined using the first communication module 291.

[0074] According to an embodiment, the processor 220 may change the third graphic object provided by the camera interface to a third graphic object for sending the captured image to the shared external electronic device or to a third graphic object for storing the captured image in the memory 230 without sending it according to the user's selection. The processor 220 may provide, on the camera interface, a third graphic object (e.g., Figure 15 the third graphic object 1570) for sending the captured image, and provide a fifth graphic object (e.g., Figure 15 the fifth graphic object 1590) for storing the captured image in the memory 230 without sending it.

[0075] According to an embodiment, the processor 220 may recognize that a plurality of subjects are included in the image obtained from the camera module 280, and when the processor 220 determines a plurality of shared external electronic devices associated with each of the plurality of subjects, may display, on the camera interface, a fourth graphic object (e.g., Figure 13A and Figure 13B the fourth graphic object 1390) for selecting a shared external electronic device for image sending among the plurality of shared external electronic devices.

[0076] According to an embodiment, the processor 220 may identify that a plurality of subjects are included in an image obtained from the camera module 280, and when a plurality of shared external devices associated with each of the plurality of subjects are determined, may sequentially transmit the captured image to the plurality of shared external devices according to an input of a third graphic object (e.g., Figure 15 third graphic object 1570) from the camera interface. For example, the processor 220 may display information about a first shared external device among the plurality of shared external devices as an indicator on the third graphic object, and may transmit the captured image to the first shared external device when the third graphic object is selected. The processor 220 may display information about a second shared external device among the plurality of shared external devices as an indicator on the third graphic object when the captured image is transmitted to the first shared external device, and may transmit the captured image to the second shared external device when the third graphic object is selected.

[0077] According to an embodiment, the processor 220 may identify that a plurality of subjects are included in an image obtained from the camera module 280, and when a plurality of shared external devices associated with each of the plurality of subjects are determined, may automatically transmit the captured image to the plurality of shared external devices sequentially according to an input of the third graphic object. When the captured image is automatically transmitted, the processor 220 may provide an indicator on the third graphic object indicating the transmission progress of the captured image over time. For example, when the third graphic object is input, while automatically transmitting the captured image to the plurality of shared external devices in sequence, the processor 220 may provide an indicator (e.g., Figure 15 indicator 1580a to 1580b) of the time progress indicating the transmission progress status of the captured image over time in a predetermined area (e.g., outer layer area) (e.g., Figure 15 e1 to e2) of the third graphic object. When the third graphic object is input again while transmitting the captured image to the plurality of shared external devices, the transmission operation to the plurality of shared external devices may be stopped. According to an embodiment, the processor 220 may search for a plurality of peripheral external devices capable of transmitting and receiving UWB signals to and from the camera interface through the first communication module 291, and may display a fifth graphic object providing a plurality of position icons representing each of the plurality of external devices based on the distance information and / or direction information of each of the plurality of external devices. When a plurality of position icons indicating each of the plurality of external devices are displayed on the fifth graphic object, the processor 220 may distinguish and display position icons of shared external devices indicating that a first azimuth and a second azimuth are included in the field of view of the camera and position icons of non-shared external devices indicating that a first azimuth angle and a second azimuth angle are not included in the viewing angle of the camera.

[0078] According to an embodiment, indicators including a plurality of position icons indicating each of a plurality of peripheral external electronic devices capable of transmitting and receiving UWB signals through the first communication module 291 are displayed on a third graphical object for transmitting a captured image, and the processor 220 may change and display a position icon indicating a shared external electronic device (e.g., a position icon corresponding to the shared external electronic device included in the shared area c1 of Figure 17 and a position icon indicating a non-shared external electronic device (e.g., a position icon corresponding to the non-shared external electronic device included in the non-shared area c2 of Figure 17 ), depending on the field of view of the camera, which is changed to correspond to the type of shooting mode of the camera. For example, when the shooting mode is an ultra-wide-angle mode, the processor 220 may display, on the third graphical object, indicators distinguishing a position icon indicating a shared external electronic device and a position icon indicating a non-shared external electronic device based on a viewing angle of about 120 degrees. When the shooting mode is changed to a wide-angle mode, the processor 220 may display, on the third graphical object, indicators distinguishing a position icon representing a shared external electronic device and a position icon representing a non-shared external electronic device based on a viewing angle of about 80 degrees. When the shooting mode is changed to a telephoto mode, the processor 220 may display, on the third graphical object, indicators distinguishing a position icon representing a shared external electronic device and a position icon representing a non-shared external electronic device based on a viewing angle of about 30 degrees.

[0079] According to various embodiments, the processor 220 may transmit / receive UWB signals (e.g., ranging messages) through a plurality of vertically or horizontally aligned antennas used by the first communication module 291 according to a rotation mounting state of the electronic device 201.

[0080] According to an embodiment, the processor 220 may form a virtual coordinate space based on azimuth (or “yaw”), pitch, and / or roll values measured by a 9-axis motion sensor, may divide one area of the coordinate space into a landscape (e.g., a horizontal rotation mounting state) range, and may divide another area of the coordinate space into a portrait (e.g., a vertical rotation mounting state) range. The processor 120 may detect whether the rotation mounting state of the electronic device is a horizontal rotation mounting state or a vertical rotation mounting state based on whether the current state of the electronic device belongs to the landscape range or the portrait range. The horizontal rotation mounting state may indicate a mounting state in which a parallel long surface of the electronic device rotates along a horizontal axis parallel to the ground, and the vertical rotation mounting state may indicate a mounting state in which a parallel long surface of the electronic device rotates along a vertical axis perpendicular to the ground.

[0081] According to an embodiment, the processor 220 may identify a rotation-mounted state of the electronic device, and when the rotation-mounted state of the electronic device is a vertical rotation-mounted state, may transmit / receive a UWB signal through at least two antennas aligned on a horizontal axis among a plurality of antennas used by the first communication module 291 (e.g., Figure 4 the first patch antenna 411 and / or the second patch antenna 413). When the rotation-mounted state of the electronic device is a horizontal rotation-mounted state, the processor 220 may transmit / receive a UWB signal through at least two antennas aligned on a vertical axis among a plurality of antennas used by the first communication module 291 (e.g., Figure 4 the second patch antenna 413 and / or the third patch antenna 415).

[0101] According to various embodiments, when a third graphical object for sending a captured image to a shared external electronic device is selected from a camera interface, the data processor 321 may generate the captured image as data for transmission according to a specified transmission method and / or transmission quality (e.g., HD / FHD / UHD / 4K / 8K), and may control at least one communication module among a second communication module (e.g., Figure 2 second communication module) to a fourth communication module (e.g., Figure 4 communication module 297) to send the generated data to the shared external electronic device.

[0102] According to various embodiments, the position determination unit 323 may determine the relative position between the electronic device and the external electronic device based on the shooting direction information of the electronic device detected based on sensor information received from a sensor module (e.g., Figure 2 sensor module 276) and the position information (e.g., distance information and / or direction information) of the external electronic device detected based on UWB signals transmitted and received from a first communication module (e.g., Figure 2 first communication module 291).

[0105] Figure 4 FIG. 400 is a diagram showing a plurality of antennas included in an electronic device according to various embodiments.

[0106] Referring to Figure 4 , according to various embodiments, the electronic device 401 may have a camera module including a front camera 280a and a rear camera 280b, and the rear camera 280b may include an ultra-wide-angle camera a1, an oblivion camera a2, and / or a telephoto camera a3. The electronic device 401 may include a UWB antenna 410 for a UWB communication module as a first communication module (e.g., Figure 2 the first communication module 291). The UWB antenna 410 may include a first patch element 411, a second patch element 413, and / or a third patch element 415, which are a plurality of patch elements as a plurality of antennas.

[0107] According to various embodiments, the electronic device 401 may use UWB signals transmitted to and received from the external electronic device 450 through the plurality of patch elements 411 to 415 to measure distance information (e.g., ranging information) and direction information (e.g., AOA information) regarding the external electronic device 450.

[0108] According to various embodiments, the electronic device 401 may transmit / receive UWB signals through at least two of the plurality of patch elements 411 to 415 according to the rotational mounting state of the electronic device.

[0109] According to an embodiment, when the rotational mounting state of the electronic device is determined to be the vertical rotational mounting state of the electronic device 401, the electronic device 401 may use the first patch element 411 and the second patch element 413 aligned on the horizontal axis among the plurality of patch elements 411 to 415 to transmit UWB signals to the external electronic device 450 and receive UWB signals from the external electronic device 450.

[0110] According to an embodiment, when the rotational mounting state of the electronic device is determined to be the horizontal rotational mounting state, the electronic device 401 may transmit a UWB signal to the external electronic device 450 or receive a UWB signal from the external electronic device 450 using the second patch element 413 and the third patch element 415 that are aligned along the vertical axis among the plurality of patch elements 411 to 415. According to another embodiment, when measuring the 3D direction information (e.g., 3D AOA) of the external electronic device, the electronic device 401 may receive a response signal by activating all of the first patch element 411 to the third patch element 415 regardless of the rotational mounting state of the electronic device. The electronic device 401 measures the left / right direction (or up / down direction) using the data received through the first patch element 411 and / or the second patch element 413, and may measure the up / down direction (or left / right direction) using the data received through the second patch element 413 and / or the third patch element 415.

[0111] Although the UWB antenna is described as a patch element by way of example in Figure 4 , it is not limited to a patch element, and the distance information and direction information of the external electronic device may be determined by receiving a UWB signal via a plurality of aligned housing frame antennas or by using a patch element and a UWB signal received via a housing frame antenna spaced a predetermined distance from the patch element.

[0112] Figure 4 The electronic device 401 shown in Figure 2 has a straight plate type or flat plate type appearance, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto. For example, the shown electronic device may be part of a rollable electronic device or a foldable electronic device. The term "rollable electronic device" may refer to an electronic device in which a display (e.g., Figure 2 's display 260) can be bent and deformed so that at least a part thereof can be wound or rolled up or accommodated in a housing (not shown). According to the needs of the user, the screen display area may be expanded by unfolding the display or exposing a larger area of the display to the outside, thereby using the rollable electronic device. A "foldable electronic device" may refer to an electronic device that can be folded in one direction to face two different areas of the display or face each other in opposite directions. Generally, in a foldable electronic device in a portable state, the display faces each other in two different areas or is folded in opposite directions, and in actual use, the user may unfold the display so that the two different areas form a substantially flat plate shape. In some embodiments, the electronic device 401 according to various embodiments disclosed in this document may be interpreted to include not only portable electronic devices such as smart phones, but also various other electronic devices such as laptop computers or household appliances.

[0113] Figures 5A to 5BFIGS. 500a and 500b are diagrams illustrating operations of determining location information of an external electronic device in an electronic device according to various embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0114] According to an embodiment, an electronic device (e.g., Figure 2 electronic device 201 or Figure 4 electronic device 401) may determine distance information (e.g., ranging information) and direction information (e.g., AOA information) of an external electronic device while transmitting and receiving UWB signals to / from the Figure 2 external electronic device 450 through a plurality of antennas (e.g., Figure 4 a plurality of elements 411 to 415) used by a first communication module (e.g., Figure 4 first communication module 291). The electronic device may transmit a UWB signal to the external electronic device and receive a UWB signal from the external electronic device, that is, may transmit a polling message to the external electronic device and receive a response message (ranging response message) corresponding to the polling message (ranging request message). The electronic device may determine distance information (e.g., ranging information) of the external electronic device based on a transmission / reception time difference between the polling message and the response message. An operation of determining distance information (e.g., ranging information) may be referred to as two-way ranging (TWR), and the TWR operation may be classified into single-sided two-way ranging (SS-TWR) and double-sided two-way ranging (DS-TWR).

[0115] According to an embodiment, the electronic device may perform a distance information measurement operation using a two-way ranging (TWR) method between external electronic devices capable of UWB communication with different clocks. The electronic device may perform a distance information measurement operation through a single-sided two-way ranging (SS-TWR) method and a double-sided two-way ranging (DS-TWR) method.

[0116] Referring to Figure 5A , according to an embodiment, in the SS-TWR method, an electronic device 501 may use a second patch element (e.g., Figure 4 second patch element 413) to transmit a ranging request message (or polling message), and may use a first patch element (e.g., Figure 4 first patch element 411) and a second patch element (e.g., Figure 4 second patch element 413) or a second patch element (e.g., Figure 4 second patch element 413) and a third patch element (e.g., Figure 4The third patch element 415) receives a ranging response message (or response message) from the external electronic device 550. The ranging response message may include a first response time (RT#1 (reply time)). The first response time RT#1 may be the time it takes for the external electronic device 550 to receive the ranging request message and send the ranging response message. The electronic device 501 may measure a first round-trip time (RTT#1) required to send the ranging request message and receive the ranging response message, and may measure the distance to the external electronic device 550 based on the time of flight (ToF) by subtracting the first response time RT#1 from the first round-trip time. The electronic device 501 may measure the AOA with respect to the external electronic device 550 based on the arrival distance difference between the received response message and the first patch element (e.g., Figure 4 the first patch element 411) and / or the second patch element (e.g., Figure 4 the second patch element 413). Alternatively, the first electronic device 501 may measure the AOA with respect to the external electronic device based on the arrival distance difference between the received response message and the second patch element (e.g., Figure 4 the second patch element 413) and / or the third patch element (e.g., Figure 4 the third patch element 415). The electronic device 501 may send a ranging request message (or polling message) to the external electronic device 550 through an RX and / or TX antenna among a plurality of antennas for UWB communication during the TX period. In addition, the electronic device 501 may determine the ToF by using the time difference between R markers (ranging markers) included in the UWB data frame of the transmitted / received message. The method of predicting the position using the time difference as described above is called the time of arrival (TOA) method or the time difference of arrival (TDOA) method.

The arrival distance difference Δd can be determined as the phase difference of the signals received from the plurality of antennas for UWB communication as a function of And the electronic device can determine the angle of arrival (AOA), which is the direction information of the external electronic device performing UWB communication, based on <Equation 1>, <Equation 2>, and <Equation 3>.

[0120] D = Δd·cosθ

[0121] d: the length between the plurality of antennas

[0122] Δd: the arrival distance difference of the same UWB received from the external electronic device

The electronic device 1101 may use the face recognition function to recognize that the second subject 1110b among the subjects 1110a and 1110b has registered face authentication information, and may display a message "Tina's face" indicating identification information in an area adjacent to the second subject 1110b displayed in the image 1110 as the second graphical object 1150b.

[0184] The electronic device 1101 may capture a registered profile information (e.g., a registered photo of a second subject) 1170a or an image 1110 of a second subject 1110b in which identification information is recognized among the subjects included in the image 1110, to display, on a third graphic object 1170, an indicator 1170c including a photo image 1170a corresponding to only a certain part of the second subject 1110b that is cropped and direction information 1170b of a shared external electronic device related to the second subject 1110b. When the contact information and profile information of the second subject 1110b are registered in a specific account (e.g., a Samsung account) to which the electronic device 1101 is registered, the electronic device 1101 may share the profile information of the second subject 1110b registered in the specific account, and display the profile information 1170a (e.g., a registered photo of the second subject) of the second subject 1110b registered in the specific account on the indicator 1170c of the third graphic object 1170. When the contact information and profile information of the second subject 1110b are updated (e.g., modified and / or newly registered) in the specific account, the electronic device 110 may display the updated profile information 1170a (e.g., a corrected and / or newly registered photo of the second subject) of the second subject 1110b on the indicator 1170c of the third graphic object 1170.

[0188] In operation 1203, when using a sensor module (e.g., Figure 2The first orientation determined by the sensor module 276) and the second orientation determined by using the ranging response signals received by the multiple antennas of the first communication module (e.g., Figure 2 When the second orientation is included in the viewing angle range of the camera corresponding to the activated shooting mode, the electronic device 201 may determine the external electronic device that has sent the ranging response signal as the shared external electronic device.

[0189] According to an embodiment, the electronic device 201 may determine a first orientation including the shooting direction of the electronic device 201 based on the raw data received from the sensor module, where the shooting direction is the relative orientation with respect to the magnetic north direction which is an absolute orientation. The electronic device 201 may use the ranging response signals received from the external electronic device through the first communication module to determine the direction information (e.g., angle of arrival (AOA)) of the external electronic device, and determine the second orientation based on the azimuth difference between the magnetic north direction which is an absolute direction obtainable through the sensor module and the direction information (e.g., angle of arrival (AOA)) of the external electronic device as a relative direction.

As a result of analyzing the image 1310 obtained from the camera module, the electronic device 1301 may recognize that the subjects 1310a and 1310b included in the image are persons, and display information related to the persons as the first graphic object 1330.

[0205] The electronic device 1301 may analyze the image 1310 obtained from the camera module, and when it is determined as a result of the analysis that the subjects included in the image 1310 are humans, use a face recognition function to recognize the faces of the subjects 1310a and 1310b. The electronic device 1301 may use the face recognition function to recognize face authentication information in which the first subject 1310a among the subjects 1310a and 1310b is registered, and display a message "Andrew's face" indicating identification information as a second graphic object 1350a in an area adjacent to the first subject 1310a displayed in the image 1310. The electronic device 1301 may use the face recognition function to recognize face authentication information in which the second subject 1310b among the subjects 1310a and 1310b is registered, and display a message "Tina's face" indicating identification information as a second graphic object 1350b in an area adjacent to the second subject 1310b displayed in the image 1310.

[0206] When a first shared external electronic device related to the first subject 1310a (e.g., a first external electronic device located near the first subject) and a second shared external electronic device related to the second subject 1310b (e.g., a second external electronic device located near the second subject) are determined, the electronic device 1301 may display an indicator (e.g., a mini map) including a first position icon 1351a indicating the first shared external electronic device included in a shared area c1 including a viewing range A1 mapped to the camera and a second position icon 1351b indicating the second shared external electronic device on a third graphic object 1370 for transmitting the captured image.

The electronic device 201 may use a plurality of identical signals received from an external electronic device through the first communication module to determine direction information (e.g., angle of arrival (AOA)) of the external electronic device, and determine a second orientation based on the azimuth difference between the magnetic north direction as an absolute orientation that can be obtained through the sensor module and the direction information (e.g., angle of arrival (AOA)) of the external electronic device as a relative direction.

[0219] According to an embodiment, the electronic device 201 may identify a camera field of view range corresponding to a currently activated shooting mode among a plurality of shooting modes (e.g., ultra-wide angle mode, wide angle mode, telephoto mode, panoramic mode, burst mode, and / or video mode). When changing from a first shooting mode (e.g., ultra-wide angle mode) to a second shooting mode (e.g., telephoto shooting mode) among the plurality of shooting modes, the electronic device 201 may identify whether the first orientation and the second orientation are included within the viewing angle range of the camera corresponding to the second shooting mode.

[0220] In operation 1405, the electronic device 201 may display on the camera interface a first graphical object (e.g., Figure 2 the first graphical object 1530) that provides analysis information of an image obtained from a camera module (e.g., Figure 15 the camera module 280), a second graphical object (e.g., Figure 15 the second graphical object 1550) that provides identification information of a subject included in the image, and a third graphical object (e.g., Figure 15the third graphic object 1570) and / or a fifth graphic object for storing a captured image (e.g., Figure 15 the fifth graphic object 1590).

When providing the third graphic object in a floating form for sending the captured image on the camera interface, the electronic device 201 may provide a fifth graphic object for storing the captured image in a fixed form. When a gesture (e.g., long press) is detected on the floating third graphic object, the electronic device 201 may provide a pop-up menu for determining a sending target or display a UWB communication related setting menu. The electronic device 201 may display information about the plurality of shared external electronic devices as indicators on the third graphic object in the sending order of the captured images. The sending order of the captured images may be determined by the quality of the signals (e.g., RSSI strength and / or BLE reception size) received from the plurality of shared external electronic devices through the second communication module and / or the user's settings. For example, the electronic device 201 may display information about the first shared external electronic device among the plurality of shared external electronic devices as an indicator on the third graphic object according to the sending order, and when the third graphic object for displaying the information about the first shared external electronic device as an indicator is selected, send the captured image to the first shared external electronic device.
