Abstract

A method is provided. The method includes identifying whether an amount of change in the pressure detected through an atmospheric pressure sensor is greater than or equal to a specified first threshold, in response to the amount of change in the pressure being greater than or equal to the first threshold, waking up a biometric sensor module including a plurality of electrodes in which some of the plurality of electrodes are disposed to come into contact with a body part of a user when the electronic device is worn, and others thereof are disposed to not come into contact with a body part of the user when the electronic device is worn, and identifying whether an interrupt signal, indicating that a state in which the plurality of electrodes are electrically connected is maintained for a specified first time or more, is received from the biometric sensor module.
