Abstract

An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a housing including a first plate, a second plate, and a side member which surrounds a space between the first plate and the second plate, a display, an antenna array disposed in the housing or in part of the housing, an image sensor, a wireless communication device electrically coupled to the antenna array, a processor, and a memory. The memory may store instructions, when executed, causing the processor to obtain and receive at least one image using the image sensor, recognize an object in the at least one image, transmit a sequence of directional beams in at least one second direction, using the antenna array, receive a sequence of reflected waves reflected by the object, using the antenna array, and recognize the object, based at least in part on the recognized object and the sequence of the reflected waves.
