Abstract

A method for execution control using a cover and an electronic device supporting the same are provided. The method includes acquiring a sensing value of a cover sensor included in the cover and a sensing value of a main body sensor included in a main body of the electronic device, due to a physical change generated in the electronic device, comparing the sensing value of the main body sensor with the sensing value of the cover sensor, and controlling execution in the main body according to the sensing value of the cover sensor, when a result of the comparison meets a preset criterion.
