Abstract

An electronic device and method are disclosed. The electronic device includes: a housing adapted to couple to a first, second and third cover portion, an antenna in the second cover portion, a power management circuit, a wireless communication circuit, an input sensing circuit, and a control circuit. The control circuit implements the method, including: receiving power from a first external device coupled to the electronic device, driving, by a processor, an input-sensing circuit of the electronic device based on at least a part of the received power, detecting, by the processor, an input of a second external device using the driven input-sensing circuit, and transmitting, by communication circuitry, a signal related to the detected input via the second external device to the coupled first external device.
