Abstract
Methods and apparatuses are provided for determining a sensing value. An electronic device receives, from an external device, a reference sensing value related to a sensor of the electronic device. An initial sensing value is determined by measuring a parameter with the sensor. It is determined whether the initial sensing value is within an error range of the reference sensing value. The initial sensing value is compensated with the reference sensing value, if the initial sensing value is not within the error range. The sensor determines a sensing value based on the compensated sensing value. The sensing value is repeatedly determined until the sensing value is within the error range or until a set time expires.
