[0046] 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., electronic device 102, electronic device 104, or server 108), and perform communication via the established communication channel. The communication module 190 may include one or more communication processors capable of operating independently from the processor 120 (e.g., an application processor (AP)) and supporting 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). A corresponding one of these communication modules can communicate with an external electronic device via a first network 198 (e.g., a short-range communication network such as Bluetooth, Wireless Fidelity (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., a LAN or a wide area network (WAN))). These various types of communication modules can be implemented as a single component (e.g., a single chip), or these various types of communication modules can be implemented as multiple components separated from each other (e.g., multiple chips). The wireless communication module 192 can 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] According to an embodiment, a command or data may be sent or received between the electronic device 101 and the external electronic device 104 via the server 108 connected to the second network 199.

[0052] Figure 2A is a block diagram of an electronic device according to an embodiment.

[0053] refer to Figure 2A , the electronic device 200 (eg, the electronic device 101) may include a processor 220 (eg, Figure 1 processor 120), sensor unit 276 (e.g., Figure 1 sensor module 176), a communication unit 290 (e.g., Figure 1 communication module 190), a front camera 281 (eg, Figure 1 camera 180), rear camera 282 (e.g., Figure 1 camera 180) and / or microphone 270 (e.g., Figure 1 audio module 170). Figure 2A The elements included in are some elements included in the electronic device 200, and the electronic device 200 may also include Figure 1 Various embodiments shown.

[0054] The sensor unit 276 according to an embodiment may detect a signal related to movement of the electronic device.

[0055] According to an embodiment, the sensor unit 276 may include an acceleration sensor and / or a gyro sensor. For example, the acceleration sensor may measure a signal related to the acceleration of the electronic device 200. For example, the acceleration sensor may measure a rotation angle of a roll axis, a pitch axis, or a yaw axis relative to a reference axis. For example, the gyro sensor may measure a signal related to an angular velocity of the electronic device 200. For example, the gyro sensor may measure a variance of a rotation angle per time unit at a roll, pitch, or yaw axis relative to a reference axis.

[0056] The processor 220 according to an embodiment may detect the movement of the electronic device 200 based on a signal related to the movement of the electronic device (eg, a signal related to acceleration and / or angular velocity) detected by the sensor unit 276 .

[0057] The communication unit 290 according to the embodiment may communicate with the first network (eg, Figure 1 A first network 198 (e.g., a short-range communication network such as Bluetooth, Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi) Direct or Infrared Data Association (IrDA), BLE, and UWB) or a second network (e.g., Figure 1 The first network 199) (e.g., a long-distance communication network such as a traditional cellular network, a 5G network, a next-generation communication network, the Internet, or a computer network (e.g., a LAN or WAN)) communicates with an external electronic device and / or a server.

[0058] The communication unit 290 according to an embodiment may transmit a control command generated by the processor 220 to an external electronic device and / or a server.

[0059] The communication unit 290 according to an embodiment may include a UWB module for performing communication through an ultra-wideband (UWB) wireless communication scheme. In the present disclosure, it is described under the assumption that the electronic device 200 supports the UWB communication scheme, but the communication unit 290 may be replaced by a communication module (e.g., a Bluetooth low energy (BLE) module) that supports various communication schemes capable of measuring the distance to an external electronic device. According to an embodiment, the UWB module may include at least one UWB antenna.

[0060] According to an embodiment, the processor 220 may measure the distance from the external electronic device through the UWB module. For example, the processor 220 may measure the distance between the UWB module and the external electronic device based on time of flight (ToF).

[0061] For example, the processor 220 may measure the distance between the UWB module and the external electronic device through a time difference of arrival (TDoA) scheme. Specifically, the processor 220 may designate the UWB module as a UWB tag, designate the external electronic device as a UWB anchor, and measure the distance between the UWB module and the external electronic device based on the difference between the time when the UWB module sends a data packet and the time when the external electronic device 500 receives the data. For example, the processor 220 may determine ToF based on the time difference between the timestamp when the UWB module sends a data packet and the timestamp when the external electronic device receives the data packet.

[0062] For example, the processor 220 can measure the distance between the UWB module and the external electronic device through a two-way ranging (TWR) scheme. According to an embodiment, the processor 220 can perform distance and direction information measurement operations by using a two-way ranging (TWR) scheme between external electronic devices capable of UWB communication in which no clock is synchronized. TWR operations can be divided into single-sided two-way ranging (SS-TWR) and double-sided two-way ranging (DS-TWR). The processor 220 can perform distance and direction information measurement operations through SS-TWR and DS-TWR. Specifically, the processor 220 can designate the UWB module as a UWB tag, the external electronic device as a UWB anchor, and measure the distance between the UWB module and the external electronic device based on the time interval of sending a data packet and receiving a response from the external electronic device based on the UWB model. For example, the processor 220 can determine ToF based on the time interval (T_Poll) from the time the UWB module sends a data packet to the time the UWB module receives a response and the time interval (T_reply) from the time the external electronic device receives a data packet to the time the external electronic device sends a response.

[0063] According to an embodiment, the processor 220 may measure a relative angle between the UWB module and the external electronic device based on a communication signal of the UWB module and the external electronic device to identify a direction in which the external electronic device is located. According to an embodiment, the UWB module may include two or more UWB antennas.

[0064] For example, the processor 220 may measure the relative angle (e.g., angle of arrival (AOA)) between the UWB module and the external electronic device. Specifically, the processor 220 may obtain a signal sent from the external electronic device via the first antenna and the second antenna of the UWB module. For example, the processor 220 may obtain the signal arrival time and phase of each of the first antenna and the second antenna of the UWB module. The processor 220 may determine the relative angle between the UWB module and the external electronic device based on the difference in the arrival time and phase of the signal obtained by the first antenna and the second antenna of the UWB module, respectively.

[0065] The front camera 281 according to an embodiment may be a camera that is disposed on the front surface of the electronic device 200 and captures an image of a front view of the electronic device 200 .

[0066] The rear camera 282 according to an embodiment may be a camera that is disposed on a rear surface of the electronic device 200 and captures an image of a rear view of the electronic device 200 .

[0067] The rear camera 282 according to an embodiment may include an ultra-wide-angle camera, a wide-angle camera, and a telephoto camera. The ultra-wide-angle camera is a camera including an ultra-wide-angle lens and used to capture images of nearby objects. The wide-angle camera may be a camera including a wide-angle lens and used to capture nearby objects. The telephoto camera may be a camera including a telephoto lens and used to capture images of distant objects.
