Method and apparatus for controlling gesture sensor

Electronic device according to various embodiments, when the power-on of the electronic device, driving the gesture sensor, and detects the light amount measurement value of the light incident to the gesture sensor, and comparing the amount of light measured value and the light amount reference value , the amount of light if the measured value is smaller than the light amount reference value, a determination of the light amount threshold value by adding a weight to the light amount measurement value that is the basis for the object of the gesture recognition sensor.
