The present invention relates to an electronic device, and to a method for controlling a connection between an electronic device and a charging device, and a device for providing the same. To this end, the charging device of the present invention can comprise: a housing, which includes a first surface facing a first direction and a second surface facing a second direction different from the first direction, and is configured such that at least a part of the first surface comes in contact with a surface of a first electronic device; an electric conductive coil located within the housing so as to be closer to the first surface than the second surface; a wireless charging unit receiving power from an external power source, and including a charging circuit for wirelessly providing the power, having passed through the coil, to the first electronic device through the first surface; an electric connection unit exposed to the housing; a communication unit including a wireless communication circuit for supporting wireless communication with the first electronic device and allowing the wireless communication to have a predefined frequency range, and a wired communication circuit for receiving data from the first electronic device by using the wireless communication circuit, and transmitting the data to at least one second electronic device through the connection unit; and a processor for controlling, overall, an operation of the charging device in order to wirelessly charge the first electronic device.
