Electronic device and operation method thereof

An electronic device, comprising:

• a plurality of sensors;
• a display;
• and
• memory storing instructions;
• and
• at least one processor including processing circuitry,
• wherein the instructions, when executed by the at least one processor individually or collectively, cause the electronic device to:
• display, on the display, a display screen comprising a digital compass in a permanent running mode in which compass information is permanently provided, determine first performance mode-based compass information of the digital compass using the plurality of sensors, and provide the first performance mode-based compass information to a user through the digital compass,
• change a performance mode of the digital compass from a first performance mode to a second performance mode in response to an input to the digital compass on the display screen, determine second performance mode-based compass information using the plurality of sensors, and display, on the display, a compass face comprising the second performance mode-based compass information,
• wherein a sampling rate of a first sensor of the plurality of sensors is a first sampling rate in the first performance mode and the sampling rate of the first sensor is a second sampling rate greater than the first sampling rate in the second performance mode.

An electronic device, comprising:

• a plurality of sensors;
• a display;
• and
• a processor electrically connected to the plurality of sensors and the display, wherein the instructions, when executed by the at least one processor individually or collectively, cause the electronic device to:
• determine first performance mode-based compass information of a digital compass using the plurality of sensors in a permanent running mode in which compass information is permanently provided, and display the determined first performance mode-based compass information on the display,
• determine whether a first motion of a user occurs, determines whether the user gazes at the display when it is determined that the first motion occurs, change a performance mode of the digital compass from a first performance mode to a second performance mode when it is determined that the user gazes at the display, determine second performance mode-based compass information using the plurality of sensors, and display the determined second performance mode-based compass information on the display,
• wherein a sampling rate of a first sensor of the plurality of sensors is a first sampling rate in the first performance mode and the sampling rate of the first sensor is a second sampling rate greater than the first sampling rate in the second performance mode.

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

• when the electronic device is set to be in a first running mode, setting a performance mode of a digital compass to be a first performance mode, wherein the electronic device is in the first running mode for permanently providing compass information or in a second running mode for providing the compass information, in response to a request from a user;
• determining first performance mode-based compass information using a plurality of sensors of the electronic device;
• displaying the determined first performance mode-based compass information on a display of the electronic device;
• when the electronic device is set to be in the second running mode, setting the performance mode of the digital compass to be a second performance mode;
• determining second performance mode-based compass information using the plurality of sensors at the request from the user;
• and
• displaying the determined second performance mode-based compass information on the display,
• wherein a sampling rate of a first sensor of the plurality of sensors is a first sampling rate in the first performance mode and the sampling rate of the first sensor is a second sampling rate greater than the first sampling rate in the second performance mode.
