Electronic device including body-contactable electrode

A heating control method of an electronic device, the method comprising:

• determining, by a processor of the electronic device, whether to control a performance of the electronic device based on a temperature of the electronic device measured by a temperature sensor of the electronic device reaching a preconfigured reference temperature;
• configuring, by the processor and based on detecting that the electronic device is worn on a body of a user, a first electrical value, measured through an electrode of the electronic device after the electronic device is detected as worn on the body of the user, as a reference value;
• configuring, by the processor, a control-requiring value based on the reference value;
• identifying, by the processor, a second electrical value measured through the electrode included in the electronic device;
• comparing, by the processor, the second electrical value and the control-requiring value;
• and
• changing, by the processor, the preconfigured reference temperature to a lower temperature, based on a result of the comparing.

An electronic device comprising:

• a main body;
• a display;
• an electrode positioned in the main body to be in contact with a body of a user;
• and
• a processor operatively connected to the display and the electrode,
• wherein the processor is configured to:
• identify an electrical value measured through the electrode,
• determine whether to control a performance of the electronic device by comparing the electrical value and a preconfigured control-requiring value,
• identify whether the electrical value is within at least one of a first range and a second range which are classified and configured in advance,
• based on identifying that the electrical value is within the first range, control the performance of the electronic device to a first level, and
• based on identifying that the electrical value is within the second range, control the performance of the electronic device to a second level,
• wherein the performance of the electronic device controlled to the second level is relatively lower than the performance of the electronic device controlled to the first level, and
• wherein the processor is further configured to implement at least one of (a) and (b) of which:
• (a) comprises:
• detecting whether the electronic device is worn by the user;
• based on detecting the electronic device is worn, obtaining a reference value based on a measurement through the electrode and determining that the electronic device is worn and is in a fully charged state;
• and
• configuring the preconfigured control-requiring value based on the reference value, and
• (b) comprises:
• controlling the display to display an identification interface indicating whether the performance is controlled;
• determining whether to control the performance of the electronic device based on identifying a comparison result between the electrical value and the preconfigured control-requiring value, and an input through the identification interface;
• and
• reconfiguring the preconfigured control-requiring value based on a rejection of a control of the performance being determined to be input through the identification interface more than a preconfigured number of times.
