Abstract
An electronic device includes a first housing; a second housing, a hinge foldably connecting the first housing and the second housing to each other along a folding axis, a plurality of sensors including a hall sensor and at least one inertial sensor; and at least one processor. The at least one processor is configured to: identify, using the hall sensor, first information indicating that a state of the electronic device is a first state, based on identifying the first information, identify, using the at least one inertial sensor, second information indicating the state of the electronic device, based on identifying that the first information corresponds to the second information, identify the state of the electronic device as the first state, and based on identifying that the first information is different from the second information, identify the state of the electronic device based on the second information.
