An apparatus and method for measuring a temperature in an electronic device. An amount of light of an optical signal reflected off of an object is measured, and a size of a temperature measurement expectation area on the object based is determined based on the measured amount of light. A temperature measurement guide message is output based on a result of comparing the determined size and a reference area.

Apparatus and method for measuring temperature in electronic device

According to various embodiments of the present disclosure, an electronic device may include a biometric sensor configured to detect a contact signal from at least two biometric electrodes and a processor configured to determine whether the contact signal received from the biometric sensor has biological characteristics. When the processor determines that the contact signal is a biometric input having biological characteristics, the processor executes a biometric information function. When the processor determines that the contact signal does not include the biological characteristics, the processor executes a general function related to an application.
