Electronic device having sensor for detecting external environment

Abstract

An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a case frame having an opening, a first unit, and at least one external environment sensor. The opening has a predetermined size and is formed in the case frame. The first unit is disposed inside the electronic device and is configured to perform a first function via the opening. The at least one external environment sensor is disposed inside the electronic device and detects an external environment condition via the opening. The electronic device uses an already formed opening for data input/output as an external connection path for the external environment sensor to avoid creating a separate opening for the external environment sensor.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
