    Abstract: A server and a controlling method thereof in which the server stores information on a data sharing agreement among a plurality of groups and metadata of information on a user included in the plurality of groups. Based on receiving a signal requesting a first type of data included in a second group from an external device of a first group, whether a data sharing agreement for the first type of data is present between the first group and the second group is determined based on the data sharing agreement. Based on identifying that the data sharing agreement for the first type of data is present, whether a user of the second group consents on data sharing of the first type of data is determined based on metadata of information on the user of the second group. If sharing is authorized information for accessing the first type of data of the second group is provided to the external device of the first group.

    Abstract: Disclosed is an electronic device comprising: a housing comprising an upper plate part portion and a lower plate part portion; and a flexible hinge connecting the upper plate part portion and the lower plate part portion. The upper plate part portion comprises a first surface facing in a first direction, a second surface facing in a second direction that is opposite to the first direction, and a third surface partially surrounding the space between the first surface and the second surface. The lower plate part portion comprises a fourth surface facing in the first direction, a fifth surface lacing in the second direction, and a sixth surface partially surrounding the space between the fourth surface and the fifth surface. The fourth surface faces the second surface of the upper plate part portion in a first state. The flexible hinge comprises: a first segmented portion having a first magnetic body arranged therein, the first magnetic body having a magneticity equal to or larger than a first designated magnitude, the first segmented port ion being made of a first material having a strength equal to or larger than a second designated magnitude, a second segmented portion having a second magnetic body arranged therein, the second magnetic body having a magneticity equal to or larger than a third designated magnitude, the second segmented portion being made of a second material having a strength equal to or larger than a fourth designated magnitude; and a cover portion at least partially surrounding the first segmented portion and the second segmented portion, the cover portion being made of a third material having a strength below a designated fifth magnitude. When changing from the first state to a second state, the first magnetic body and the second magnetic body bind the first segmented portion and the second segmented portion in a substantially straight type. In the second state, the upper plate part portion is cradled on the lower plate part portion while forming a first designated angle with the lower plate part portion. Besides, various embodiments inferable from the specification are possible.
