1. An electronic device comprising:

  • a camera;

    a speaker;

    a display;

    a battery;

    a printed circuit board;

    a charging integrated circuit (IC) disposed on the printed circuit board to supply power to the battery;

    a communication circuit disposed on the printed circuit board to wirelessly communicate with an external device;

    a processor disposed on the printed circuit board and electrically connected to the camera, the speaker, the display, the battery, the charging IC, and the communication circuit; and

    a plurality of temperature sensors disposed in regions adjacent to two or more of the camera, the speaker, the charging IC, the communication circuit, and the processor,wherein the processor is configured to;

    obtain temperature data using the plurality of temperature sensors;

    compute a parameter associated with a temperature of the battery based on the temperature data; and

    restrict a function or performance of at least one of the camera, the speaker, the display, the charging IC, the communication circuit, and the processor to lower the temperature of the battery if the parameter is within a specified range.
