1. A method for controlling a portable device, the method comprising:
- detecting, by the portable device, that bending of at least one portion of the portable device has occurred, the portable device including at least one motion sensor configured to detect a movement of the portable device;
determining whether motion sensing correction of the bent portable device is necessary by detecting whether the at least one bent portion of the portable device affects motion sensing of the at least one motion sensor;
acquiring at least one motion sensing correction factor for performing the motion sensing correction due to the bending based on the determination result;
performing motion sensing correction of the at least one motion sensor using the at least one motion sensing correction factor; and
carrying out an operation in the bent portable device according to the corrected motion sensing of the at least one motion sensor when the determination result indicates that the motion sensing correction is necessary or according to uncorrected motion sensing of the at least one motion sensor when the determination result indicates that the motion sensing correction is not necessary.
