Abstract

An electronic device including an image display portion through which to display content; and at least one processor configured to set a calibration threshold value based on a usage environment of the electronic device, calculate an amount of an external impact applied to the electronic device, compare the calculated amount of the external impact and a magnitude of the set calibration threshold value, and perform a calibration of the image display portion based on the calculated amount of the external impact being greater than the set calibration threshold value.

4 . The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein

the calibration of the image display portion includes at least one of a keystone correction to correct distortion of the content displayed through the image display portion or a focus adjustment to correct a focus of the content displayed through the image display portion.

5 . The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein

the usage environment of the electronic device includes an operation mode of the electronic device, and

the at least one processor is configured to:

operate the electronic device in a first mode, in which the content displayed through the image display portion is displayed as augmented reality content, or in a second mode, in which the content displayed through the image display portion is displayed as real world content,

based on operating the electronic device in the first mode, set the calibration threshold value to a first value, and

based on operating the electronic device in the second mode, set the calibration threshold value to a second value,

wherein the first value is less than the second value.

6 . The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein

the usage environment of the electronic device includes complexity of the content displayed through the image display portion, and

the at least one processor is further configured to:

determine the complexity of the content based on at least one of an edge component included in the content displayed through the image display portion, a resolution of the content displayed through the image display portion, a frequency component of the content displayed through the image display portion, or a type of the content displayed through the image display portion, and

set the calibration threshold value based on the determined complexity of the content displayed through the image display portion.

7 . The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein

the usage environment of the electronic device includes illuminance of a space in which the electronic device is located,

the at least one processor is further configured to measure the illuminance of the space, and

the magnitude of the calibration threshold value is set to be greater as the measured illuminance of the space increases.

8 . The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein

the at least one processor is further configured to:

determine a type of the content displayed through the image display portion, and

not perform the calibration of the image display portion based on the determined type of the content being included in preset specific content.

9 . The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein

the at least one processor is further configured to not perform the calibration of the image display portion based on obtaining a selection signal including information for selecting not to perform the calibration of the image display portion.

10 . The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein

the at least one processor is further configured to not perform the calibration of the image display portion based on obtaining an input signal provided for the content.

11 . A method of operating an electronic device including an image display portion through which to display content, the method comprising:

setting a calibration threshold value based on a usage environment of the electronic device;

calculating an amount of an external impact applied to the electronic device;

comparing the calculated amount of the external impact with a magnitude of the set calibration threshold value; and

performing a calibration of the image display portion based on the calculated amount of the external impact being greater than the set calibration threshold value in the comparing of the amount of the external impact with the calibration threshold value.

12 . The method of claim 11 , further comprising:

not performing the calibration of the image display portion based on the calculated amount of the external impact being less than or equal to the set calibration threshold value in the comparing of the amount of the external impact with the magnitude of the calibration threshold value.

13 . The method of claim 11 , wherein
