*This abstract for appeared for patent application  number 18210465 Titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE FOR RECOGNIZING COVER DEVICE AND OPERATION METHOD THEREOF'

==Simplified Explanation==

The abstract describes an electronic device that has a magnetic sensor and a communication module. The device also has a processor that is connected to the magnetic sensor and the communication module. The processor is programmed to detect a magnetic signal through the magnetic sensor and determine if the signal is generated by attaching a cover device to the electronic device. If it is determined that the signal is from the cover device, the processor will correct the sensor data from the magnetic sensor.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

An electronic device includes: a magnetic sensor; a communication module; at least one processor operatively connected with the magnetic sensor and the communication module. The at least one processor is configured to: identify that a magnetic signal is detected through the magnetic sensor; identify, based on a magnitude of the detected magnetic signal, whether the magnetic signal is generated by coupling the electronic device with a cover device; and based on identifying that the magnetic signal is generated by coupling the electronic device with the cover device, correct sensor data of the magnetic sensor.
