ELECTRONIC DEVICE FOR DETERMINING LOCATION OF EXTERNAL ELECTRONIC DEVICE, AND OPERATION METHOD OF ELECTRONIC DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18450120 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE FOR DETERMINING LOCATION OF EXTERNAL ELECTRONIC DEVICE, AND OPERATION METHOD OF ELECTRONIC DEVICE

Simplified Explanation

- The patent application describes an electronic device and a method for determining the location of an external electronic device using ultra-wideband (UWB) communication. - The electronic device includes a communication circuit for transmitting and receiving data through UWB communication. - The processor of the electronic device is configured to measure the location of the external electronic device by checking a parameter during communication. - The device operates in a first location determination mode, using first signals exchanged between the devices, to determine the location of the external electronic device based on the parameter. - Once the location is determined, the device switches to a second location determination mode, where the location is determined based on a second signal transmitted by the external electronic device. - The device can switch back to the first location determination mode if a specified condition related to the location of the external electronic device is satisfied. - The innovation allows for more accurate and efficient location determination of external electronic devices using UWB communication.

Original Abstract Submitted

An electronic device and/or an operation method of an electronic device may be provided. The electronic device may include: a communication circuit for transmitting or receiving data through communication using an ultra-wideband (UWB); and a processor, wherein the processor may be configured to: check a parameter for measuring a location of an external electronic device while establishing the communication for measuring the location of the external electronic device; operate in a first location determination mode for determining, on the basis of the parameter, a location of the external electronic device on the basis of first signals exchanged between the external electronic device and the electronic device; in response to determining the location of the external electronic device, switch to a second location determination mode for determining a location of the external electronic device on the basis of a second signal transmitted by the external electronic device; and in response to satisfying a specified condition related to the location of the external electronic device, switch from the second location determination mode to the first location determination mode.
