Abstract
An electronic device includes: a magnetic sensor; a communication module; at least one processor operatively connected with the magnetic sensor and the communication module. The at least one processor is configured to: identify that a magnetic signal is detected through the magnetic sensor; identify, based on a magnitude of the detected magnetic signal, whether the magnetic signal is generated by coupling the electronic device with a cover device; and based on identifying that the magnetic signal is generated by coupling the electronic device with the cover device, correct sensor data of the magnetic sensor.
