Abstract

An electronic device includes a housing including a head part that is rotatable, a plurality of microphones disposed in the head part, a sensor for detecting a rotation angle of the head part, a memory storing data classifying feature parameters for each of the plurality of microphones according to a plurality of rotation angles, a motor configured to rotate the head part; and a processor. The processor implements the method, including when detecting sound by the plurality of microphones originating from a sound source, driving the motor to rotate the head part until a designated portion of a surface of the head part is facing the sound source, and when the designated portion of the surface is facing the sound source, adjusting feature parameters for each the plurality of microphones based on the classified feature parameters and a current angle of the head part.
