Apparatus and method for providing communication
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for providing communication in an electronic device, the method comprising:
- detecting at least one of contact or proximity with an object;
determining whether an impedance of an antenna of the electronic device changes based on the detecting of the object;
when the impedance changes and there is no data to transmit, transmitting at least one signal through the antenna for determining a control value for controlling a resonant frequency of a transceiver of the electronic device;
measuring a reflected signal that is reflected through the antenna based on the transmitted at least one signal for determining the control value;
determining the control value for controlling the resonant frequency of the transceiver based on the reflected signal; and
controlling an impedance of an antenna of the electronic device based on the control value.

Abstract
A method for communication in an electronic device is provided. The method includes determining whether to control a communication module of the electronic device based on information related to communication between the electronic device and an external device, determining a control value for the communication module based on the determination, and controlling the communication module using the control value.
