Electronic device for changing refresh rate of display

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

• displaying visual information on a display and measuring, based on a second measurement period, a utilization rate of a processor;
• while visual information is being displayed on the display and the utilization rate of the processor is being measured based on the second measurement period, identifying that a particular event related to performance of the processor has occurred;
• and
• based on identifying that the particular event has occurred and a determination that an internal temperature is lower than a designated temperature value, changing a measurement period for measuring the utilization rate of the processor to a first measurement period shorter than the second measurement period.

A non-transitory recording medium storing instructions readable by a processor of an electronic device that, when executed by the processor, cause the electronic device to:

• display visual information on a display and measure, based on a second measurement period, a utilization rate of the processor;
• while visual information is being displayed on the display and the utilization rate of the processor is being measured based on the second measurement period, identify that a particular event related to performance of the processor has occurred;
• and
• based on identifying that the particular event has occurred and a determination that an internal temperature is lower than a designated temperature value, change a measurement period for measuring the utilization rate of the processor to a first measurement period shorter than the second measurement period.
