An electronic device according to various embodiments of the present invention may comprise: at least one sensor; a processor electrically connected to the at least one sensor; a memory electrically connected to the processor; and a support structure formed to have one end connected to a boundary between a first region and a second region of a rear surface of the electronic device and rotate in one direction with reference to the one end so as to cover the second region in a closed state thereof and support the electronic device in an opened state thereof. The memory may comprise instructions which, when executed, enable the processor to detect the opened support structure by using the at least one sensor, to detect a movement of the electronic device by using the at least one sensor in a state where the support structure is opened, and to detect an inclination of the electronic device with respect to a reference surface by using the at least one sensor and control an operation of the electronic device at least partially on the basis of the inclination when the movement of the electronic device has a value equal to or smaller than a predetermined threshold value for a predetermined time or longer. Besides, various embodiments are possible.
