Abstract
According to one embodiment, an electronic device includes a housing, a first antenna, a second antenna, a distributor and a communication module. The first antenna is in a first region of the housing. The second antenna is in a second region of the housing. The distributor is configured to distribute a same signal to the first antenna and the second antenna. The communication module is configured to perform communication by using the first antenna when an antenna of an external device approaches the first region and to perform communication by using the second antenna when the antenna of the external device approaches the second region.
