METHOD FOR EXECUTING APPLICATION BY USING CLOCK SPEED OF PROCESSOR SELECTED ACCORDING TO EXTERNAL TEMPERATURE, AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING SAME

摘要

According to various embodiments, an electronic device comprises a temperature sensor, a display, and a processor configured to operate by using a clock speed selected from among a plurality of clock speeds, wherein the processor may be configured to: execute a designated application by using one selected from among the plurality of clock speeds; check an external temperature by using the temperature sensor for at least some time during the execution of the designated application; when the external temperature falls to within a range of a first designated temperature, execute the designated application by using one selected from among the plurality of clock speeds according to a designated clock governor; and when the external temperature falls to within a range of a second designated temperature that is lower than the first designated temperature, execute the designated application by using one selected from among the plurality of clock speeds, except for some higher clock speeds, according to the designated clock governor. In addition, various other embodiments are possible.
