Abstract
A device for detecting biometric information is provided. The device includes a housing, a fastener coupled to a part of the housing and detachably attached to a part of a user's body, at least one first sensor configured to detect the motion of the electronic device, at least one second sensor configured to detect a change in the user's body, a memory, and a processor electrically connected to the at least one first sensor, the at least one second sensor, and the memory. The memory may store instructions that configure the processor, when being executed, to determine whether the electronic device is worn on a part of the user's body using the at least one first sensor, acquire information on the motion of the electronic device using at least a part of the at least one first sensor for a second period of time shortly before and/or immediately after a first period of time selected passes from the time when the electronic device is worn on a part of the user's body, and activate the at least one second sensor based on at least a part of the information on the motion.
