Electronic device for recognizing gesture and method for operating the same

An electronic device, comprising:

• at least one sensor;
• and
• at least one processor configured to:
• identify a gesture identification request from a first application being executed by the at least one processor;
• in response to the identification of the gesture identification request, identify a gesture using at least one sensing data from at least one first sensor module activated, among the at least one sensor, based on a gesture application;
• provide the identified gesture to the first application;
• and
• perform at least one operation corresponding to the identified gesture based on the first application,
• wherein, to identify the gesture using the at least one sensing data from the at least one activated first sensor module, the at least one processor is further configured to:
• generate at least one summation data corresponding to the at least one sensing data based on the at least one sensing data for a designated length of section,
• identify a section of the at least one sensing data as a segmentation section, based on the at least one summation data meeting a designated condition, and
• perform gesture recognition on the segmentation section,
• wherein the at least one processor is further configured to identify that the at least one summation data meets the designated condition based on a ratio of first comparison summation data, among the at least one summation data, to reference summation data, exceeding a designated threshold.
