Abstract
According to an embodiment, a processor of an electronic device is configured to identify the direction of the electronic device using a sensor of the electronic device. The processor outputs an acoustic signal representing a vibration notification for a preset event through a speaker of the electronic device, based on identifying a direction corresponding to a reference direction for representing the vibration notification for the preset event using the speaker. The processor is configured to refrain from outputting the acoustic signal through the speaker based on identifying the direction different from the reference direction, and vibrate the housing using the haptic actuator of the electronic device to output the vibration notification regarding the preset event.
