Clamshell-type electronic device capable of detecting light source and illuminance

Abstract

A clamshell-type electronic device is provided. The clamshell-type electronic device includes a housing of which a state is switchable between a folded state and an unfolded state and which includes a common hole, a main display disposed on a first surface of the housing and transformable depending on the state of the housing, a sub-display disposed on a second surface of the housing, a camera disposed in the housing and including a flash, an optical proximity sensor disposed in the housing and configured to sense light entering an inside of the housing, an optical sensor disposed in the housing and including a plurality of light receiving elements configured to sense light entering the inside of the housing, memory storing one or more computer programs, and one or more processors communicatively coupled to the optical sensor and the memory, wherein the one or more computer programs include computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors individually or collectively, cause the clamshell-type electronic device to obtain at least one of ambient brightness information and ambient light source information based on light information received from the optical sensor.
