Abstract
An electronic device, according to various embodiments, may comprise: a first antenna for obtaining power to be used for executing a function from a wireless signal transmitted from an external electronic device; and a second antenna for identifying information related to the function from the wireless signal. The first antenna, which is relatively larger than the second antenna, may be selectively opened or connected by means of a switch. When the wireless signal transmitted from the external electronic device includes identification information corresponding to the electronic device, the first antenna may be electrically connected to thus have a closed loop structure. The electronic device may electrically separate the first antenna. The first antenna may be electrically separated to thus have an open loop structure. The first antenna having an open loop structure may not interfere with wireless communication between the external electronic device and another external electronic device.
