Method of performing function of device and device for performing the method

A method of performing a function of an electronic device according to motion of the electronic device, the method comprising:

• receiving, via a first sensor included in the electronic device, information regarding a motion of the electronic device being obtained using the first sensor, wherein the electronic device includes a memory storing mapping information among at least one piece of motion information of the electronic device, information regarding at least one operation mode of the electronic device, and information regarding at least one function of the electronic device;
• in response to receiving the information regarding the motion of the electronic device, identifying motion information corresponding to the information regarding the motion of the electronic device;
• after identifying the motion information, identifying an operation mode of the electronic device;
• in response to the identified operation mode of the electronic device being a standby mode, determining a first function to be performed by the electronic device based on the mapping information, the standby mode, and the identified motion information;
• after determining the first function, controlling the electronic device to perform the first function;
• in response to the identified operation mode of the electronic device not being the standby mode, identifying an application being executed on the electronic device;
• after identifying the application being executed on the electronic device, determining a second function determined based on the mapping information, the identified application and the identified motion information;
• and
• based on the determined second function, controlling the electronic device to perform the second function.

A non-transitory computer readable recording medium having recorded thereon a program which is executable by a computer to perform a method of performing a function of an electronic device according to motion of the electronic device, the method comprising:

• receiving, via a first sensor included in the electronic device, information regarding a motion of the electronic device being detected using the first sensor, wherein the electronic device includes a memory storing mapping information among at least one piece of motion information of the electronic device, information regarding at least one operation mode of the electronic device, and information regarding at least one function of the electronic device;
• in response to receiving the information regarding the motion of the electronic device, identifying motion information corresponding to the information regarding the motion of the electronic device;
• after identifying the motion information, identifying an operation mode of the electronic device;
• in response to the identified operation mode of the electronic device being a standby mode, determining a first function to be performed by the electronic device based on the mapping information, the standby mode, and the identified motion information;
• after determining the first function, controlling the electronic device to perform the first function;
• in response to the identified operation mode of the electronic device not being the standby mode, identifying an application being executed on the electronic device;
• after identifying the application being executed on the electronic device, determining a second function determined based on the mapping information, the identified application and the identified motion information;
• and
• based on the determined second function, controlling the electronic device to perform the second function.
