Abstract
An electronic device includes a communication circuit, a light source for emitting light of set frequencies, an image sensor for acquiring reflected light of the emitted light, a memory for storing offset values for respective reference frequencies of the set frequencies, and a processor. The processor is configured to receive a distance measurement input, identify whether the communication circuit is activated, determine that, in response to identification that the communication circuit is activated, a first frequency distinguished from a frequency used by the activated communication circuit is a frequency of the emitted light among the configured frequencies, acquire information on a distance between the electronic device and an external object, based on the reflected light of the emitted light of the first frequency, and acquire corrected distance information by applying an offset of the first frequency to the acquired distance information.
