Abstract:
According to various embodiments of the present disclosure, an electronic device may include a biometric sensor configured to detect a contact signal from at least two biometric electrodes and a processor configured to determine whether the contact signal received from the biometric sensor has biological characteristics. When the processor determines that the contact signal is a biometric input having biological characteristics, the processor executes a biometric information function. When the processor determines that the contact signal does not include the biological characteristics, the processor executes a general function related to an application.
