Abstract
An electronic device may include a magnetic sensor and at least one processor. The at least one processor may be configured to: collect path data based on first magnetic data related to movement of the electronic device, by using the magnetic sensor; identify a plurality of pieces of second magnetic data, which have at least a predetermined level of mutual similarity, from among the path data; determine, to be an intersection area related to the movement of the electronic device, an area range in which the plurality of pieces of second magnetic data are collected; determine, on the basis of the intersection area, a first space and a second space related to the movement of the electronic device; and determine, on the basis of third magnetic data, the space in which the electronic device is located from among the first space and the second space.
