Method of detecting protection case and electronic device thereof

摘要

A method for controlling an electronic device is provided. The method includes detecting at least one conductive materials attached to a protection case, identifying a combination of the detected at least one conductive material corresponding to an arrangement of the at least one conductive material, mapping the combination of the detected at least one conductive material to an operational function of the electronic device according to user control, and storing a mapping result.

1. A method for controlling an electronic device including an openable cover, the method comprising:
detecting at least one conductive material attached to the openable cover, wherein the at least one conductive material is arranged randomly in the openable cover; identifying an arrangement of the at least one conductive material arranged in the openable cover based on a location of the detected at least one conductive material; displaying a list including at least one operational function to be mapped to the identified arrangement; mapping the arrangement of the at least one conductive material arranged in the openable cover to an operational function of the electronic device; storing a mapping result; in response to detecting that the openable cover is contacted with a display screen of the electronic device, determining an arrangement of at least one conductive material arranged in the contacted openable cover; determining an operational function corresponding to the determined arrangement among the stored operational functions; and performing the determined operational function.
