Abstract

An electronic device for identifying a region of interest and an operating method thereof are provided. The electronic device may acquire a plurality of images by capturing surrounding images of the electronic device on the basis of a predetermined time interval by using a camera. The electronic device may acquire, by using the plurality of images, a target image including a target object indicated by the electronic device. The electronic device may identify a region corresponding to the target object as a region of interest, on the basis of a central region of the target image. The electronic device may request execution of a preset service by using the identified region of interest.
