Abstract

An electronic device is provided that includes a communication circuit configured to transmit and receive wireless data with the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), a display configured to display a user interface (UI) for operating the UAV, a memory, and a processor electrically coupled with the communication circuit, the display, and the memory. The processor is configured to receive information about a direction of a first point of the UAV from the UAV, display a direction indication object corresponding to a direction of the first point on the display, in response to receiving a user input associated with movement or rotation of the UAV, generate a control signal for moving or rotating the UAV with respect to the first point in response to a location of the direction indication object and the user input, and transmit the generated control signal to the UAV using the communication circuit.
