Abstract
An electronic device includes a communication circuit to communicate with at least one wearable device, and at least one processor electrically connected with the communication circuit. The at least one processor is configured to obtain position information on a position on which the at least one wearable device is placed on a user's body, and to transmit a control signal to the at least one wearable device through the communication circuit such that, when an output of a haptic pattern specified based on a function is requested, the at least one wearable device outputs a haptic feedback corresponding to the position information and the specified haptic pattern.
