Abstract:
According to various embodiments, an electronic device comprises: a housing; a sensing circuit; a processor operatively connected to the sensing circuit; and a memory operably connected to the processor, wherein the memory can store instructions that when executed, cause the processor to: identify output values of the sensing circuit associated with a touch or a pressure applied to the sensing circuit; when at least a portion of the output values are changed, obtain bending information of the sensing circuit at least on the basis of the changed output values; and control to change an operation mode of the electronic device to at least one of specified operation modes at least on the basis of the bending information of the sensing circuit. Other embodiments are possible.
