Description

How to use card-type barometric pressure sensors in electronic devices and electronic devices

Various embodiments relate to an electronic device and a method of using a card-type barometric pressure sensor in the electronic device.

In recent years, electronic devices have diversified functions, whereas devices with advantageous portability may have higher competitiveness. For example, even if it is an electronic device having the same function, an electronic device that is slimmer, lighter, thinner, and smaller may be preferred. Accordingly, electronic device manufacturers are making efforts to develop devices that are slimmer, lighter, and smaller than other products while having the same or superior functions.

According to this trend, electronic devices are manufactured in the form of external parts rather than mounted inside, and external parts are mounted and used only when necessary. In addition, external components are being miniaturized along with the miniaturization of electronic devices, and various interface devices (eg, connectors, etc.) in the electronic device for interfacing with various external components mounted in the electronic device are also being miniaturized.

Various sensor modules are mounted and used for various sensing in an electronic device, but among the mounted sensing modules, the number of uses is small, so it may be efficient to mount and use only when necessary rather than to mount and use. For example, an air pressure sensor may be mounted and used for a waterproof function in an electronic device, but the waterproof function may be unnecessary or used a small number of times for some users. It may be efficient to use the sensor mounted.

If a sensor module that performs various sensing in an electronic device is developed as a card type (or memory card type) component and can be used so that it can be mounted and detached, the electronic device can install a card type sensor module as needed rather than embedding the sensor module. Since it can be mounted and used, it can be helpful in securing a mounting area for components of an electronic device, and it can be effective because it is possible to save a sensor module mounting cost. For example, if a card-type barometric pressure sensor that can be attached to and detached from the electronic device can be used instead of the built-in barometric pressure sensor in the electronic device, it can help to secure the mounting area of the electronic device’s components and reduce the cost of mounting the barometric sensor module. can be efficient.
