Foldable electronic device and method for controlling foldable electronic device

A foldable electronic device comprising:

• a first housing and a second housing disposed opposite the first housing, the first and second housing configured to fold relative to each other with respect to a folding axis;
• a first sensor module coupled to the first housing;
• a second sensor module coupled to the second housing;
• at least one digital Hall sensor coupled to the first housing or the second housing;
• a magnet coupled to the foldable electronic device and configured to interact with the at least one digital Hall sensor;
• a memory;
• and
• a processor operatively coupled to one or a combination of the first sensor module, the second sensor module, the digital Hall sensor, and the memory, wherein the processor is configured to:
• calculate an angle between the first housing and the second housing based at least in part on sensing data measured by the first sensor module and the second sensor module;
• obtain a measured magnetic force value from the digital Hall sensor when a state of the foldable electronic device corresponding to a calculated angle satisfies a set condition;
• and
• set a first reference value associated with folding of the foldable electronic device and a second reference value associated with unfolding of the foldable electronic device based at least in part on the measured magnetic force value.
