Electronic device for identifying movement on basis of acceleration sensors, and method therefor

A method of an electronic device, the method comprising:

• receiving, from a plurality of acceleration sensors positioned in distinct portions of the electronic device, interrupt signals indicating that the electronic device is moved in accordance with acceleration of gravity applied to the electronic device;
• based on the received interrupt signals and based on acceleration measured by the plurality of acceleration sensors, receiving data signals;
• and
• based on the data signals, obtaining, at least one of duration,
• a distance that the electronic device is moved in accordance with the acceleration of gravity, or
• an impulse applied to the electronic device based on the movement of the electronic device, which corresponds to the acceleration of gravity.

An electronic device comprising:

• a housing comprising a plurality of portions pivotably interconnected based on a folding axis;
• a plurality of acceleration sensors configured to identify an angle between the plurality of portions, and the folding axis, wherein the plurality of acceleration sensors are respectively positioned at the plurality of portions;
• and
• a controller operably coupled to the plurality of acceleration sensors;
• wherein the controller is configured to be coupled to:
• the plurality of acceleration sensors, via a plurality of signal paths, configured to receive a data signal indicating acceleration measured by the plurality of acceleration sensors, wherein the plurality of signal paths comprise a first signal path;
• a first acceleration sensor among the plurality of acceleration sensors via a second signal path, which is different from the first signal path, for receiving an interrupt signal indicating that a movement of the electronic device based on acceleration of gravity is identified by the first acceleration sensor;
• and
• a second acceleration sensor among the plurality of acceleration sensors via a third signal path, which is different from the first signal path and the second signal path, for receiving another interrupt signal indicating that the movement of the electronic device based on the acceleration of gravity is identified by the second acceleration sensor.
