Abstract

The invention relates to a method and an apparatus for detecting that a device is immersed in a liquid. The method comprises: receiving, by an electronic device, a first signal having a first frequency; identifying, by the electronic device, at least one of a strength of the first signal or a signal-to-noise ratio of the first signal; outputting, by the electronic device, a second signal having a second frequency that is different from the first frequency, the second signal being output based on at least one of the strength of the first signal or the signal-to-noise ratio of the first signal; receiving the second signal by the electronic device; and detecting whether the electronic device is at least partially immersed in a liquid based on the received second signal.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates to an electronic device, and more particularly, to a method and apparatus for detecting that the device is submerged in a liquid. Background technique [0002] The recent popularization of smart phones or other electronic devices has made everyone own a mobile device. This means that the electronic device becomes a key part of the user's daily life, and the user cannot imagine life without such a device. This phenomenon may be attributed to the portability of mobile devices. Indeed, a user carries his own electronic device for most of his daily life in order to obtain various types of information from the electronic device. [0003] This is also the case when people are engaged in leisure activities. Therefore, such electronic devices have various functions to attract users' attention during leisure activities such as mountain climbing, walking or swimming, or while doing daily work. For example, an electronic device ...
