Abstract
Various embodiments of the present disclosure disclose a method and device, the device comprising: a touch sensor disposed adjacent to the outside of a housing and including touch interfaces for a plurality of areas; an inertial sensor having a set sensor axis; a biometric sensor disposed adjacent to the inside of the housing; a communication module comprising communication circuitry; a memory which maps and stores an angle corresponding to a touch detection range of each touch interface of the touch sensor; and a processor operatively connected to the touch sensor, the inertial sensor, the biometric sensor, the communication module, and the memory. The processor is configured to: detect whether a wearable device is worn using the biometric sensor and/or the inertial sensor; receive touch information from at least one of the plurality of touch interfaces included in the touch sensor; calibrate the sensor axis of the inertial sensor based on the touch information; obtain sensing information from the inertial sensor; and calculate position information from the sensing information based on the calibrated sensor axis.
