Abstract:
An electronic device and method are disclosed herein. The electronic device includes a display, a printed circuit board (PCB) disposed below the display and having a first surface facing the display, a biometric sensor disposed on the first surface of the PCB and configured to measure a biometric signal related to a heartbeat, a pressure sensor disposed below the display and configured to generate a pressure signal based on measuring a pressure applied to the display, a processor. The processor implements the method, including measuring, by the biometric sensor, the biometric signal, measuring, by the pressure sensor, the pressure applied to the display, calculating biometric information related to a heartbeat by interlinking the biometric signal and the pressure signal, and outputting the calculated biometric information to the display.
