Abstract: An electronic device including an antenna implements a method for recognizing whether a case is attached to the electronic device by using the antenna. The electronic device is configured to attach to an electronic device cover which may include: a cover part configured to surround at least a portion of a housing of the electronic device or form at least a portion of a rear plate of the electronic device; and at least one conductive member configured to, when the electronic device is attached to the cover part, at least partially overlap at least two antennas arranged inside the electronic device and spaced apart from each other. A coupling between at least one of the at least two antennas and the at least one conductive member may be used to recognize whether the electronic device is attached to the cover part.

Abstract: Disclosed is a foldable electronic device including a flexible display, a sensor panel, a sensor circuitry, a first housing, a second housing, and a folding structure configured to rotate the first housing or the second housing. The sensor panel includes a plurality of loop coils. The sensor circuitry transmits or receives a first resonance signal to recognize an operation of an electronic pen through the plurality of loop coils, outputs a second resonance signal through a first loop coil included in one panel part of the first panel part or the second panel part, receives the second resonance signal through a second loop coil included in a remaining one panel part of the first panel part or the second panel part, and determines an angle between the first housing and the second housing, based on the received second resonance signal.
