Abstract
According to various embodiments, an electronic device may include: a housing configured to be mounted on or detached from an ear of a user, at least one processor disposed within the housing, an audio module including audio circuitry, and a sensor device including at least one sensor operatively coupled to the at least one processor and the audio module. The sensor device may be configured to: output acceleration-related data to the at least one processor through a first path of the sensor device, identify whether an utterance has been made during the output of the acceleration-related data; obtain bone conduction-related data based on the identification of the utterance; and output the obtained bone conduction-related data to the audio module through a second path of the sensor device.
