Abstract
The disclosure relates to an electronic device, which is secured at a designated location, for determining a location area or a location area change of a movable external electronic device or, and an operating method thereof. An operating method of an electronic device including at least one antenna according to various embodiments of the disclosure may include: detecting that a state of a structure is changed from an open state to a close state, counting a sequence number from a first timing at which the state of the structure is changed to the close state to a second timing after a designated time based on information received from an external device via the at least one antenna using a designated communication scheme, determining location information of the external device based on the sequence number, and performing a designated function, based at least in part on the determined location information.
