Electronic device and method for providing cloud-based vehicle information

An electronic device comprising:

• memory storing instructions and including a first memory and a second memory;
• a sensor;
• an ignition switch;
• a camera;
• a communication circuit;
• and
• a processor,
• wherein the instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the electronic device to:
• establish wireless communication connection with a server by using the communication circuit;
• while the wireless communication connection with the server is established, identify that an impact has occurred to a vehicle, based on a value representing acceleration of the vehicle, obtained through the sensor, wherein the electronic device is disposed in the vehicle;
• recognize that a state of the ignition switch of the electronic device is changed from an on state to an off state caused by the impact;
• while the state of the ignition switch is turned off:
• record sensing information obtained through the sensor and video information obtained through the camera in the first memory, and store the sensing information and the video information recorded in the first memory in the second memory;
• based on a level of the impact determined based on the value representing the acceleration of the vehicle being a first level:
• in response to recognizing that the ignition switch is turned on, transmit the sensing information stored in the second memory to the server, and refrain from transmitting the video information stored in the second memory to the server;
• and
• based on the level of the impact determined based on the value representing the acceleration of the vehicle being a second level:
• in response to recognizing that the ignition switch is turned on, transmit both the sensing information and the video information stored in the second memory to the server.
