Title:
METHOD AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE FOR ACTIVATING DISTANCE SENSOR
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2024/010220
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
According to various embodiments, an electronic device may comprise: a plurality of distance sensors; an inertial sensor; a camera module; a display module; a memory; and a processor operably coupled to the plurality of distance sensors, the inertial sensor, the camera module, the display module, and the memory. The processor can: use the inertial sensor to determine whether a user with the electronic device worn on the head is walking; detect the rotation amount of the user's head using the inertial sensor in response to the user walking; obtain a plurality of images through the camera module on the basis of a head rotation condition based on the rotation amount of the head being satisfied; measure the angle between a user's movement direction and a user's gaze direction on the basis of the plurality of obtained images; and activate at least one first distance sensor corresponding to the movement direction from among the plurality of distance sensors when the measured angle exceeds a threshold. Various other embodiments may be possible.
