Abstract

An electronic device is disclosed. The disclosed electronic device includes a display, a charging circuit that transmits and receives power to and from an external electronic device, a sensor circuit that senses a spatial relationship of the electronic device with the external electronic device, a processor that is electrically connected with the display, the charging circuit, and the sensor circuit. When wirelessly transmitting or receiving power to or from the external electronic device using the charging circuit, the processor may transmit and receive information associated with the wireless transmission or reception of power and display the information based on the spatial relationship.

Dependent claims

An electronic device comprising:

a display;
a charging circuit configured to transmit and receive power to and from an external electronic device;
a sensor circuit, including a gyro sensor, configured to detect whether the electronic device is facing away from a surface such that the display is visible to a user or facing toward the surface such that the display is obscured from the user by the surface;
and
a processor electrically connected with the display, the charging circuit, and the sensor circuit,
wherein, when wirelessly transmitting or receiving power to or from the external electronic device using the charging circuit, the processor is configured to:
receive information associated with the wireless transmission or reception of power;
determine whether a front surface containing the display faces a top side or a bottom side opposite to the top side by using the gyro sensor;
determine the electronic device is detected to be facing away from the surface when the gyro sensor satisfies a specific condition;
and
display the user interface according to the information associated with the wireless transmission or reception of power when the gyro sensor satisfies the specific condition.
