Abstract: One embodiment provide an electronic device including: a housing including a touch area; a touch IC; a sensor circuit configured to generate a first signal in response to detecting a movement of the electronic device; a sensor hub; and a processor. The touch IC is configured to: when a contact on the touch area is detected, transmit a second signal to the sensor hub; and after transmitting the second signal to the sensor hub, transmit a third signal for identifying an event corresponding to the contact to the sensor hub. The sensor hub is configured to: when the first signal is received within a first interval starting from a time point at which the second signal is received, invalidate the first signal; and when the third signal is received from the touch IC, transmit the third signal or a fourth signal based on the third signal to the processor.
