Abstract: A method is provided for folding an electronic device including a first housing and a second housing. The method includes an operation of calculating an angle between the first housing and the second housing. The operation of calculating the angle includes calculating, based on sensing data measured by a first sensor module disposed in the first housing and a second sensor module disposed in the second housing, an angle between the first housing and the second housing. The method further includes an operation of measuring a magnetic force value using a digital Hall sensor when a state of the foldable electronic device corresponding to the calculated angle corresponds to a set condition. The method further includes an operation of setting a first reference value associated with folding the foldable electronic device and a second reference value associated with unfolding the foldable electronic device based on the magnetic force value.

Abstract: A foldable mobile electronic device is provided. The foldable mobile electronic device includes a processor configured to recognize, based on the data received from the first sensor, a change in a state of the foldable mobile electronic device from the folded state to a partially folded state before reaching an unfolded state, to identify a first illuminance by using the data received from the second sensor, based on the recognized state change, to set a first luminance corresponding to the first illuminance as a brightness of the display, to when an angle identified after the state change falls within a predetermined first angle range or when a specific time has not elapsed after the state change, perform a real-time adjustment operation on the brightness of the display, based on a second illuminance identified using the second sensor, and to when the angle identified after the state change is outside the first angle range or when the specific time has elapsed after the state change, perform a hysteresis adjustment operation on the brightness of the display, based on the first illuminance.
