Abstract
An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a barometer sensor configured to measure a barometric pressure of the electronic device, a motion sensor configured to detect a motion of the electronic device, and a processor configured to obtain, using the barometer sensor, first data relating to a change of the barometric pressure, obtain, using the motion sensor while the first data is obtained, second data relating to the motion of the electronic device, and if the first data corresponds to the second data, determine the first data as data corresponding to the barometric pressure.
