Document Type and Number:

WIPO Patent Application WO/2018/026142

Kind Code:

A1

Abstract:

An electronic device according to one example of the present invention comprises: a proximity sensor for generating proximity information on an object which approaches the electronic device; an iris sensor for detecting an iris; and a first processor for controlling the electronic device, wherein the first processor can be set to: determine the distance between the electronic device and the object on the basis of the proximity information generated by the proximity sensor; detect the iris by using the iris sensor when the distance between the electronic device and the object is greater than a first reference value; and inactivate the iris sensor when the distance between the electronic device and the object is less than or equal to the first reference value.
