An electronic device and method utilizes an external sensor group to facilitate miniaturization the device and repair/replacement of external sensors. An interface connected to an external sensor package including at least one sensor. A processor that when the external sensor package is connected through the interface, determines from which group the external sensor package is included in among pre-configured groups and controls the performance of a function corresponding to the determined group.

Method for performing function using sensor data and electronic device for providing same

Provided is a fingerprint authentication system and a method of authentication. The fingerprint authentication system may have a configuration to analyze a reflection wave signal reflected at a surface of an object under examination or an internal of the object under examination by applying a wave signal from at least one of signal communication unit of a fingerprint sensor to the object under examination. In the method of authentication, the controller in the fingerprint authentication system may be configured to selectively perform a first step authentication to authenticate a shape of a fingerprint, and a second step authentication to detect internal biometric information of the object under examination.

Fingerprint authentication system and method of authentication using the same

A method for sensing a fingerprint, comprising: receiving, by an electronic device, a sound wave signal that is reflected from an object; detecting at least one echo signal that is associated with the object for each reception period in a plurality of reception periods, wherein the at least one echo signal is detected based on the sound wave signal; and detecting the fingerprint based on the at least one echo signal.

Method and apparatus for sensing fingerprints

An electronic device comprising: an ultraviolet (UV) light sensor; and a processor configured to: generate a plurality of initial UV light measurements by using the UV light sensor, wherein each of the plurality of initial UV light measurements is associated with a respective orientation of the electronic device; and select a reference UV light measurement from the plurality.

Method and apparatus for measuring ultraviolet light exposure

A method of measuring an altitude in a portable terminal is provided. The method includes receiving a reference altitude from an information providing device fixed and installed at a certain point, measuring a current atmospheric pressure of the certain point, calculating an altitude of the certain position using the measured current atmospheric pressure and a reference atmospheric pressure, and storing a difference between the reference altitude and the calculated altitude of the certain point as an altitude error.

Method and apparatus for measuring altitude in portable terminal

A method of location information in a mobile device capable of improving position accuracy of the mobile device using a database (DB) of peripheral auxiliary data when GPS and navigation are performed in the mobile device, and an apparatus thereof is provided. The method of providing location information in a mobile device includes acquiring initial location information of the mobile device when a location based service is executed, transmitting the acquired initial location information to a server, receiving auxiliary data corresponding to the initial location information from the server, classifying satellites to be used to determine a location with reference to the auxiliary data, and determining the location based on a satellite signal of a satellite having a high weight through the classification of the satellites.

Method and apparatus for providing location information in mobile device

Receiver of pseudonoise signals of satellite radio navigation systems for determining coordinates and time using signals of GLONASS and GPS systems, characterized by small dimensions and absence of complicated elements such as digitizers.

Receiver for pseudo-noise signals from a satellite radio-navigation systems
