Abstract: An electronic device according to one example of the present invention comprises: a proximity sensor for generating proximity information on an object which approaches the electronic device; an iris sensor for detecting an iris; and a first processor for controlling the electronic device, wherein the first processor can be set to: determine the distance between the electronic device and the object on the basis of the proximity information generated by the proximity sensor; detect the iris by using the iris sensor when the distance between the electronic device and the object is greater than a first reference value; and inactivate the iris sensor when the distance between the electronic device and the object is less than or equal to the first reference value. In addition, other examples are possible.
