Method for providing workout data using a plurality of electronic devices and electronic devices therefor

An electronic device, comprising:

• a display;
• a motion sensor;
• a communication circuit;
• and
• at least one processor electrically connected to the display, the motion sensor, and the communication circuit,
• wherein the at least one processor is configured to:
• recognize a user's initial posture based on a motion sensor signal received through the motion sensor,
• when the initial posture satisfies a designated condition, control the motion sensor to obtain a first motion sensor signal, and obtain the user's workout data based on the first motion sensor signal,
• when the user's movement is not recognized based on the first motion sensor signal, control an external electronic device to transmit, to the electronic device, a second motion sensor signal, and obtain the user's workout data based on the second motion sensor signal, and
• display the workout data on the display.

A method of operating an electronic device, the method comprising:

• recognizing a user's initial posture based on a motion sensor signal obtained from a first external electronic device;
• obtaining, when the initial posture satisfies a designated condition, the user's workout data based on a first motion sensor signal obtained from the first external electronic device;
• obtaining, when the user's movement is not recognized based on the first motion sensor signal, the user's workout data based on a second motion sensor signal obtained from a second external electronic device;
• and
• displaying the workout data on at least one of a display included in the electronic device or a display included in the first external electronic device.
