Original Abstract Submitted
According to various embodiments, an electronic device may comprise: a front cover; a rear cover disposed opposite to the front cover; an annular portion including a side portion surrounding at least a part of the space between the front cover and the rear cover, and including a display at least partially disposed along the front cover and at least one magnetic member, comprising a magnetic material, arranged at a specified first angle and a specified first distance with respect to the center of the display; a first Hall sensor disposed at a specified second distance from the center of the display; a second Hall sensor disposed at the specified second distance from the center of the display and spaced a second angle smaller than the first angle apart from the first Hall sensor; a memory; and at least one processor, comprising processing circuitry, operatively connected to the memory. At least one processor, individually and/or collectively, may be configured to: acquire first magnetic information corresponding to the at least one magnetic member based on the first Hall sensor; acquire second magnetic information corresponding to the at least one magnetic member based on the second Hall sensor; based on the first magnetic information and the second magnetic information, identify whether the annular member rotates; and in response to rotation of the annular member, control a user interface displayed through the display.
