Abstract
An electronic device includes a grip sensor which detects a grip on the electronic device, and a communication circuitry operably coupled to the grip sensor. The grip sensor is configured to transmit a signal indicating whether the grip is detected, to the communication circuitry in a first state for detecting the grip, based on a capacitance changed by the grip and a reference capacitance. The grip sensor is configured to adjust the reference capacitance based on the capacitance in a second state, which is different from the first state, for adjusting the reference capacitance. The grip sensor is configured to adjust the reference capacitance to be lower than a preset threshold, based on identifying that the reference capacitance is adjusted to be greater than or equal to the preset threshold.
