Abstract
A method for execution control using a cover and an electronic device supporting the same are provided. The method includes acquiring a sensing value of a cover sensor included in the cover and a sensing value of a main body sensor included in a main body of the electronic device, due to a physical change generated in the electronic device, comparing the sensing value of the main body sensor with the sensing value of the cover sensor, and controlling execution in the main body according to the sensing value of the cover sensor, when a result of the comparison meets a preset criterion.
Claims18
A method for execution control in an electronic device having a cover, the method comprising:
- acquiring a sensing value of a cover sensor included in the cover and a sensing value of a main body sensor included in a main body of the electronic device, due to a physical change generated in the electronic device;
- comparing the sensing value of the main body sensor with the sensing value of the cover sensor;
- and
- controlling execution in the main body according to the sensing value of the cover sensor, when a result of the comparison meets a preset criterion.
An apparatus for execution control in an electronic device having a cover, the apparatus comprising:
- a cover sensor unit, being included in the cover connected to one side of a main body of the electronic device, configured to detect a physical change amount of the cover;
- a main body sensor unit configured to detect a physical change amount of the main body, which is matched to the physical change amount of the cover;
- and
- a control unit configured to compare a sensing value of the cover sensor unit with a sensing value of the main body sensor unit, and to control execution in the electronic device according to a result of the comparison.
