A method of calibrating a compass sensor in consideration of a magnetic environment is provided. The method includes (a) acquiring magnetic force data by rotating a compass sensor 360 degrees, the compass sensor including a biaxial magnetometer, (b) fitting the acquired magnetic force data to an ellipse function, (c) transforming the acquired magnetic force data and the ellipse function into a circle which is centered on an origin, and (d) calculating a distortion factor based on an inclination of a major axis of the ellipse function or the acquired magnetic force data to a horizontal axis, the distortion factor indicating the degree to which a magnetic field is distorted.

A method and apparatus for counting the steps taken by a walker is provide. The method includes detecting an acceleration value generated by a step taken by a walker at every first stated interval, calculating a standard deviation of detected acceleration values at every second stated interval, determining a walking mode corresponding to the calculated standard deviation among first through Nwalking modes as a walking pattern of the walker, in which N is a positive integer that is larger than 1, checking if there is at least one absolute value that is larger than a threshold acceleration value corresponding to the determined walking mode among the absolute values of the detected acceleration values, and incrementing a count value as a step taken by the walker if there is at least one absolute value that is larger than the threshold acceleration value among the absolute values of the detected acceleration values.
