Abstract
An electronic device that detects the connection of a fastening frame, may receive a sensed magnetic flux value from a sensor module of the electronic device, determine that a fastening frame is connected to a housing of the electronic device if the received magnetic flux value is at or above a preset threshold value, and transmit, to a first external device, a first event signal corresponding to the connection of the fastening frame and the housing.
Claims20
An electronic device comprising:
- a communication module configured to perform short-range wireless communication with an external device, wherein the communication module comprises at least one processor comprising processing circuitry;
- a switch configured to power on the electronic device when a fastening frame is fastened to at least a portion of a housing of the electronic device;
- a sensor module configured to sense a magnetic flux of a magnetic body comprised in the fastening frame;
- and
- memory comprising one or more storage media storing instructions, when executed by the at least one processor individually or collectively, cause the electronic device to perform at least:
- receiving a magnetic flux value sensed by the sensor module;
- when the received magnetic flux value is greater than or equal to a preset threshold value, determining that the fastening frame is connected to the housing;
- and
- transmitting, to a first external device, a first event signal corresponding to a connection between the fastening frame and the housing.
