Various embodiments of the present invention relate to a method for operating a complex panel, including a display panel and at least one sensing panel, and provided are the method for operating a complex panel and an electronic device therefor, the method comprising: identifying a scanning period of the display panel; and calibrating the sensing panel by using first location calibration information when the identified scanning period belongs to a first range, and calibrating the sensing panel by using second location calibration information when the scanning period belongs to a second range. Therefore, a location can be smoothly detected by enabling an adaptive variance so as to optimize object detection conditions of at least one sensing panel included together according to an operation environment of the display panel, and ensuring the reliability of the electronic device.
