[0057] The communication module (190) may support the establishment of 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 the performance of communication through the established communication channel. The communication module (190) may operate independently from the processor (120) (e.g., application processor) and may include one or more communication processors that support direct (e.g., wired) communication or wireless communication. According to one 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 module). Among these communication modules, the corresponding communication module can communicate with an external electronic device (104) via a first network (198) (e.g., a short-range communication network such as Bluetooth, wireless fidelity (WiFi) direct, or infrared data association (IrDA)) or a second network (199) (e.g., a long-range communication network such as a legacy cellular network, a 5G network, a next-generation communication network, the Internet, or a computer network (e.g., a LAN or WAN)). These various types of communication modules can be integrated into a single component (e.g., a single chip) or implemented as multiple separate components (e.g., multiple chips). The wireless communication module (192) can verify or authenticate the electronic device (101) within a communication network such as the first network (198) or the second network (199) by using subscriber information (e.g., an international mobile subscriber identity (IMSI)) stored in the subscriber identification module (196).

[0058] The wireless communication module (192) can support 5G networks and next-generation communication technologies following the 4G network, such as NR access technology (new radio access technology). The NR access technology can support high-speed transmission of high-capacity data (eMBB (enhanced mobile broadband)), minimization of terminal power and connection of multiple terminals (mMTC (massive machine type communications)), or high reliability and low latency (URLLC (ultra-reliable and low-latency communications)). The wireless communication module (192) can support, for example, a high-frequency band (e.g., mmWave band) to achieve a high data transmission rate. The wireless communication module (192) can support various technologies for securing performance in a high-frequency band, such as beamforming, massive multiple-input and multiple-output (MIMO), full dimensional MIMO (FD-MIMO), array antenna, analog beam-forming, or large scale antenna. The wireless communication module (192) can support various requirements specified in the electronic device (101), an external electronic device (e.g., the electronic device (104)), or a network system (e.g., the second network (199)).

[0061] At least some of the above components can be interconnected and exchange signals (e.g., commands or data) with each other via a communication method between peripheral devices (e.g., a bus, GPIO (general purpose input and output), SPI (serial peripheral interface), or MIPI (mobile industry processor interface)).

[0062] According to one embodiment, commands or data may be transmitted or received between the electronic device (101) and an external electronic device (104) via a server (108) connected to a second network (199). Each of the external electronic devices (102 or 104) may be the same or a different type of device as the electronic device (101). According to one embodiment, all or part of the operations executed in the electronic device (101) may be executed in one or more of the external electronic devices (102, 104, or 108). For example, when the electronic device (101) is to perform a certain function or service automatically or in response to a request from a user or another device, the electronic device (101) may, instead of or in addition to executing the function or service itself, request one or more external electronic devices to perform the function or at least a part of the service.

In one embodiment, the external electronic device (104) may include an Internet of Things (IoT) device. The server (108) may be an intelligent server utilizing machine learning and / or a neural network. According to one embodiment, the external electronic device (104) or the server (108) may be included in the second network (199).The electronic device (101) can be applied to intelligent services (e.g., smart home, smart city, smart car, or healthcare) based on 5G communication technology and IoT-related technology.

[0063] FIG. 2 is a drawing showing a state in which a wearable electronic device according to one embodiment is mounted within an electronic device.

[0064] Referring to FIG. 2, according to one embodiment, the electronic device (201) may be implemented as a cradle or a case. For example, the electronic device (201) may be implemented in a form (e.g., a cradle form or a case form) that can hold and store the wearable electronic device (301). The wearable electronic device (301) may be implemented as a wearable electronic device (e.g., a ring-shaped wearable electronic device) that can be held within the electronic device (201).

[0065] According to one embodiment, the wearable electronic device (301) can be worn on a user's finger. However, this is merely an example, and the electronic device (201) and the wearable electronic device (301) can be implemented as various types of electronic devices.

[0066] According to one embodiment, the electronic device (201) may include a first housing (202) and a second housing (203) disposed on an upper side of the first housing (202). According to one embodiment, the area of ​​the first housing (202) may be larger than the area of ​​the second housing (203).

[0067] According to one embodiment, the wearable electronic device (301) may be mounted on the outer surface of the second housing (203).

[0068] According to one embodiment, the electronic device (201) can wirelessly charge the wearable electronic device (301) when it is determined that the wearable electronic device (301) is mounted on the outer surface of the second housing (203).

[0069] According to one embodiment, the wearable electronic device (301) may be implemented as a ring-shaped wearable electronic device that can be worn on a user's finger. Due to spatial constraints, the wearable electronic device (301) may not include an output means such as a display and / or a speaker. The wearable electronic device (301) may not be able to output information (e.g., battery information) about the wearable electronic device (301) on its own. In addition, even if the wearable electronic device (301) acquires or detects the user's biometric information or movement information, the wearable electronic device (301) may not be able to output the corresponding information on its own.

[0070] According to one embodiment, the wearable electronic device (301) may not include input means such as physical buttons, soft buttons, a touchscreen, and / or a microphone due to spatial constraints. The wearable electronic device (301) may include only a limited number of input means (e.g., physical buttons and / or soft buttons) due to spatial constraints. However, due to the limited input means, it may be inconvenient for a user to execute or control functions related to the wearable electronic device (301) through the wearable electronic device (301).

[0071] Previously, electronic devices (e.g., case-type electronic devices) could only perform the function of charging a wearable electronic device mounted on them. For example, conventional electronic devices did not include output means such as a display (or touchscreen) and / or a speaker. Accordingly, conventional electronic devices could not visually or audibly provide information related to wearable electronic devices and information related to the electronic device to a user. Furthermore, conventional electronic devices did not include input means such as physical buttons, soft buttons, a touchscreen, and / or a microphone. Accordingly, conventional electronic devices could not perform or control functions related to wearable electronic devices. Conventional electronic devices could only perform or control limited functions related to wearable electronic devices.
