     TECHNICAL FIELD 
     Various embodiments of the present disclosure relate to an electronic device that includes a cooling structure for cooling heat generated by an electrical element. 
     BACKGROUND AND SUMMARY 
     An electronic device, such as a smartphone, a tablet PC, or the like, may perform various functions, for example, wireless data communication, media output, or the like. Electrical elements (e.g., a CPU, a GPU, a communication IC, a display driver IC, and the like) required for performing various functions may be included in the electronic device. The electrical elements may be mounted on a printed circuit board to operate. The electrical elements may generate heat while operating. As data processing speed of the electrical elements increases, required power also increases and a large amount of heat may be generated correspondingly. 
     The electrical elements, surrounding parts, and the electronic device may break down if the heat generated by the electrical elements is not effectively dispersed or cooled. A processor (e.g., a CPU or an AP) included in the electronic device may generate a larger amount of heat than other parts, and the temperature of the processor may instantaneously rise. A failure to effectively disperse the heat generated by the processor may cause a breakdown in the processor itself or integrated chips (ICs) around the processor. 
     An electronic device in the related art may diffuse heat throughout the electronic device, or may cool the heat, by using a cooling module, such as a fan, a heat sink, or the like, which is disposed around an electrical element such as a CPU, a GPU, or the like. In this case, the cooling module disposed around the CPU, the GPU, or the like is large in size and designed with a heavy metal material and has a structure (e.g., a spring screw) located next to the CPU, the GPU, or the like so as not to be separated due to drop or impact. 
     Among cooling modules, a fan has problems in that the fan is thick due to a motor inside and it is difficult to mount the fan in a slim electronic device that lacks a mounting space. 
     In accordance with an aspect of the present disclosure, an electronic device according to various embodiments of the present disclosure includes a housing, a printed circuit board located inside the housing, an electrical element mounted on the printed circuit board, and a shield can that covers the electrical element. A recess area is formed on at least a portion of the shield can, and a metal structure is mounted in the recess area to cool heat generated by the electrical element. 
     An electronic device according to various embodiments of the present disclosure may have a thin cooling module mounted therein, which is obtained by bonding different types of metal plates, and thus slimness of the electronic device may be realized. 
     The electronic device according to various embodiments of the present disclosure may have a water-cooled tube or a metal plate mounted in a shield can to effectively cool heat radiating from various electrical elements, such as a CPU, a GPU, a memory, and the like. 
     The electronic device according to various embodiments of the present disclosure may disperse the heat radiating from the electrical elements into surroundings through a thermal sheet or an air layer and may reduce inconvenience that a user feels due to a rise in surface temperature of the electronic device.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF EXAMPLE EMBODIMENTS 
     Hereinafter, various embodiments of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Accordingly, those of ordinary skill in the art will recognize that modification, equivalent, and/or alternative on the various embodiments described herein can be variously made without departing from the scope and spirit of the present disclosure. With regard to description of drawings, similar components may be marked by similar reference numerals. 
     In the disclosure disclosed herein, the expressions “have”, “may have”, “include” and “comprise”, or “may include” and “may comprise” used herein indicate existence of corresponding features (for example, elements such as numeric values, functions, operations, or components) but do not exclude presence of additional features. 
     In the disclosure disclosed herein, the expressions “A or B”, “at least one of A or/and B”, or “one or more of A or/and B”, and the like used herein may include any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items. For example, the term “A or B”, “at least one of A and B”, or “at least one of A or B” may refer to all of the case (1) where at least one A is included, the case (2) where at least one B is included, or the case (3) where both of at least one A and at least one B are included. 
     The terms, such as “first”, “second”, and the like used herein may refer to various elements of various embodiments of the present disclosure, but do not limit the elements. For example, such terms are used only to distinguish an element from another element and do not limit the order and/or priority of the elements. For example, a first user device and a second user device may represent different user devices irrespective of sequence or importance. For example, without departing the scope of the present disclosure, a first element may be referred to as a second element, and similarly, a second element may be referred to as a first element. 
     It will be understood that when an element (for example, a first element) is referred to as being “(operatively or communicatively) coupled with/to” or “connected to” another element (for example, a second element), it can be directly coupled with/to or connected to the other element or an intervening element (for example, a third element) may be present. In contrast, when an element (for example, a first element) is referred to as being “directly coupled with/to” or “directly connected to” another element (for example, a second element), it should be understood that there are no intervening element (for example, a third element). 
     According to the situation, the expression “configured to” used herein may be used as, for example, the expression “suitable for”, “having the capacity to”, “designed to”, “adapted to”, “made to”, or “capable of”. The term “configured to (or set to)” must not mean only “specifically designed to” in hardware. Instead, the expression “a device configured to” may mean that the device is “capable of” operating together with another device or other components. CPU, for example, a “processor configured to (or set to) perform A, B, and C” may mean a dedicated processor (for example, an embedded processor) for performing a corresponding operation or a generic-purpose processor (for example, a central processing unit (CPU) or an application processor) which may perform corresponding operations by executing one or more software programs which are stored in a memory device. 
     Terms used in this specification are used to describe specified embodiments of the present disclosure and are not intended to limit the scope of the present disclosure. The terms of a singular form may include plural forms unless otherwise specified. Unless otherwise defined herein, all the terms used herein, which include technical or scientific terms, may have the same meaning that is generally understood by a person skilled in the art. It will be further understood that terms, which are defined in a dictionary and commonly used, should also be interpreted as is customary in the relevant related art and not in an idealized or overly formal detect unless expressly so defined herein in various embodiments of the present disclosure. In some cases, even if terms are terms which are defined in the specification, they may not be interpreted to exclude embodiments of the present disclosure.

     Hereinafter, electronic devices according to an embodiment of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. The term “user” used herein may refer to a person who uses an electronic device or may refer to a device (for example, an artificial electronic device) that uses an electronic device. 
       FIG. 1  illustrates an electronic device according to various embodiments. 
     Referring to  FIG. 1 , an electronic device  101  may include a display module  110  and a housing  120 . 
     The display module  110  may display various types of information (e.g., multimedia, text, an image, or the like) provided to a user. In various embodiments, the display module  110  may include a touch panel capable of detecting a touch operation of the user, and the touch panel may recognize a contact touch operation or a proximity touch (e.g., hovering) operation of the user. 
     The display module  110  may be mounted on and fixed to the housing  120 . The housing  120  may include various components (e.g., a processor, a DDI, a touch IC, a battery, and the like) for driving the display module  110 . In addition, the housing  120  may include various components, such as a communication module, a speaker module, and the like. The exterior of the housing  120  may be formed of a nonmetallic material (e.g., plastic), a metallic material, or the like. 
     A printed circuit board  130  for mounting various electrical elements (e.g., an AP, a CPU, a GPU, a memory, a communication IC, and the like) may be mounted in the housing  120 . The printed circuit board  130  may electrically connect the electrical elements (e.g., an AP, a CPU, a GPU, a memory, a communication IC, and the like) mounted thereon and may allow the electrical elements to be driven by electrical signals. 
     Referring to a sectional view taken in the direction of line I-I′ of  FIG. 1 , an electrical element  150  (e.g., an AP, a CPU, a GPU, a memory, a communication IC, or the like) mounted on the printed circuit board  130  may be covered with a shield can  140 . The shield can  140  may cover and protect the electrical element  150  (e.g., a CPU chip or an AP chip) mounted on the printed circuit board  130 . In various embodiments, the shield can  140  may be formed of a metallic material (e.g., aluminum) with a specified stiffness or higher. 
     In various embodiments, a gasket  135  may be disposed between a distal end of the shield can  140  and the printed circuit board  130 . The gasket  135  may isolate the interior of the shield can  140  from the outside. 
     According to various embodiments, a configuration around the shield can  140  may form a cooling structure (or a cooling module) that diffuses heat generated when the electrical element  150  is driven, and lowers the temperature of the electrical element  150 . For example, in the case where the electrical element  150  is a CPU or an application processor, the electrical element  150  may generate a large amount of heat for a relatively short period of time when executing an application with high computational complexity (e.g., a high-performance game, an application for taking or reproducing 4K video, or the like). The cooling structure including the shield can  140  may lower the temperature of the electrical element  150  by effectively diffusing or cooling the heat generated by the electrical element  150 . 
     According to various embodiments, the shield can  140  may include a recess area  141  on at least a portion of an upper surface thereof (e.g., a surface facing the housing on a rear side of the electronic device  101 ). The recess area  141  may have the form of a groove that is formed toward the interior of the shield can  140  from the outside or the form of a hole that is formed through the shield can  140 . In the case where the recess area  141  has a groove form, the recess area  141  may correspond to a relatively thin area of the upper surface of the shield can  140 . While  FIG. 1  illustrates that the recess area  141  is implemented in a groove form, the present disclosure is not limited thereto. 
     In various embodiments, the recess area  141  may be filled with a metal structure  160  formed of a material different from that of the shield can  140 . For example, the metal structure  160  may be a metal water-cooling apparatus (e.g., a heat spreader, a vapor chamber, or the like) that has a higher thermal conductivity than the shield can  140 . The metal structure  160  may contain fluid or a phase change material (e.g., water, acetone, methanol, ethanol, or the like). The metal structure  160  may absorb the heat generated by the electrical element  150  and may lower the ambient temperature by using heat of vaporization. The metal structure  160  may be implemented in various forms depending on the form of the shield can  140 , the arrangement of the electrical element  150 , or the like. 
     Hereinafter, methods for effectively diffusing and cooling the heat of the electrical element  150  by using various forms of shield cans  140  and metal structures  160  will be described. 
       FIG. 2  is a sectional view of a shield can that includes a metal plate according to various embodiments.  FIG. 2  may be a sectional view taken in the direction of line I-I′ in  FIG. 1 . 
     Referring to  FIG. 2 , the shield can  140  may further include a metal plate  170  disposed between the metal structure  160  and the electrical element  150 . The metal plate  170  may primarily receive the heat generated by the electrical element  150  and may diffuse the heat into the surrounding area. In addition, the metal plate  170  may transfer the heat to the metal structure  160  with high cooling performance. In an embodiment, the metal structure  160  may be directly attached (e.g., soldered) to the metal plate  170  in the case where the recess area  141  of the shield can  140  has the form of a hole. In another embodiment, the metal plate  170  may be attached to an inner surface of the shield can  140  in the case where the recess area  141  of the shield can  140  has the form of a groove. 
     In various embodiments, the metal plate  170  may be implemented with a material different from that of the shield can  140 . For example, the shield can  140  may be formed of aluminum, and the metal plate  170  may be formed of a copper alloy that has a higher thermal conductivity than aluminum. 
     In various embodiments, a lower surface of the metal plate  170  (a surface facing the electrical element  150 ) may be attached to a surface of the electrical element  150 . For example, the metal plate  170  may be attached to an upper surface of the electrical element  150  (a surface facing the metal plate  170 ) by using a heat conduction adhesive, such as thermal grease. The metal plate  170  may primarily receive the heat generated by the electrical element  150 . The heat transferred to the metal plate  170  may be diffused into the metal structure  160  and may be cooled. 
     In various embodiments, the metal plate  170  may be formed of the same material as that of the metal structure  160  or a material containing some different compositions from those of the metal structure  160 . For example, the metal structure  160  may be formed of copper with high thermal conductivity, and the metal plate  170  may be formed of a copper alloy. 
     While  FIG. 2  illustrates that the metal plate  170  is implemented with one plate, the present disclosure is not limited thereto. The metal plate  170  may be implemented in various forms depending on the internal form of the shield can  140 , the form or height of the electrical element  150 , or the like. For example, the metal plate  170  may be implemented with a plurality of plates and may be formed such that the height thereof in one section is different from that in another section. 
       FIG. 3  illustrates components outside or inside a shield can according to various embodiments.  FIG. 3  is merely illustrative, and the present disclosure is not limited thereto. 
     Referring to  FIG. 3 , the recess area  141  of the shield can  140  may have the form of a hole, and a water-cooled tube  160   a  may be disposed in the recess area  141  (see a sectional view  301  or  302 ). The water-cooled tube  160   a  may include a tube-shaped pipe therein and may have fluid or a phase change material (e.g., water, acetone, methanol, ethanol, or the like) in the pipe to cool heat transferred from the electrical element  150 . 
     A cover  180  may be disposed outside the shield can  140 . The cover  180  may be at least a portion of the housing  120  illustrated in  FIG. 1 , or may be a case formed separately from the housing  120 . The cover  180  may protect internal components. 
     According to various embodiments, the cover  180  may include a cover heat sheet  181  attached to an inner surface thereof (a surface facing the shield can  140 ). A user may use the electronic device  101  while a part of the user&#39;s body is brought into contact with the cover  180  as needed. In this case, the cover heat sheet  181  may disperse the heat generated by the electrical element  150  to reduce heat transferred to the user through the cover  180 . In various embodiments, the cover heat sheet  181  may be formed of graphite. 
     According to various embodiments, one or more supports  182  may be disposed between the upper surface of the shield can  140  and at least a portion of an inner surface of the cover  180  (or the cover heat sheet  181 ). The supports  182  may allow the shield can  140  and the cover  180  to be spaced apart from each other by a specified gap. The supports  182  may form an air layer between the shield can  140  and the cover  180 , and the air layer may additionally disperse the heat directed toward the cover  180 . 
     According to various embodiments, a thermal sheet  140   a  may be attached to the upper surface of the shield can  140  (or an upper surface of the water-cooled tube  160   a ) (see the sectional view  302 ). The thermal sheet  140   a  may disperse heat transferred to the water-cooled tube  160   a  to reduce heat transferred to the cover  180 . In various embodiments, the supports  182  and the thermal sheet  140   a  may be disposed between the shield can  140  and the cover  180 . In this case, heat around the water-cooled tube  160   a  may be primarily dispersed through the thermal sheet  140   a  and may be secondarily dispersed through the air layer between the shield can  140  and the cover  180 . 
     The metal plate  170  may be disposed on the inner surface of the shield can  140 . The metal plate  170  may be attached to an upper end of the electrical element  150  to diffuse the heat generated by the electrical element  150  into the surrounding area or transfer the heat to the water-cooled tube  160   a.  In various embodiments, the metal plate  170  inside the shield can  140  may include a plurality of plates  170   a  to  170   c  at different heights. 
     For example, the first plate  170   a  may be brought into close contact with the upper surface of the electrical element  150 . The first plate  170   a  may have an area corresponding to the region where the water-cooled tube  160   a  is disposed. The second plate  170   b  may be disposed to surround the first plate  170   a.  A distal end of the second plate  170   b  may be connected to the first plate  170   a  to receive the heat generated by the electrical element  150 . An upper surface of the second plate  170   b  may be brought into close contact with the inner surface of the shield can  140 . In various embodiments, the second plate  170   b  may be divided into a plurality of plates. 
     Not only the electrical element  150  generating heat but also hardware modules or parts  151  and  152  around the electrical element  150  may be arranged inside the shield can  140 . The height of a space in the shield can  140  may be determined in consideration of the height of the electrical element  150  or the heights of the hardware modules or parts  151  and  152 . For example, the space in the shield can  140  may be formed to be higher than the hardware modules or parts  151  and  152  in the case where the hardware modules or parts  151  and  152  higher than the electrical element  150  are disposed around the electrical element  150 , which is the main cause of heat. In this case, a metal block  150   b  may be disposed on the upper surface of the electrical element  150  to allow the heat generated by the electrical element  150  to be effectively transferred to the first plate  170   a  (see the sectional view  302 ). In various embodiments, the metal block  150   b  may be formed of the same material as, or a material similar to, that of the water-cooled tube  160   a  or the metal plate  170 . For example, the metal block  150   b  may be formed of copper or a copper alloy. 
     According to various embodiments, the metal block  150   b  may be attached to the electrical element  150  through a thermal interface material (TIM)  150   a.    
       FIG. 4  illustrates a shield can that includes a chamber type cooling structure according to various embodiments. 
     Referring to  FIG. 4 , the recess area  141  of the shield can  140  may have the form of a hole, and a water-cooled chamber  160   b  may be disposed in the recess area  141 . The water-cooled chamber  160   b  may have a larger area and contain a larger amount of fluid or a phase change material (e.g., water, acetone, methanol, ethanol, or the like) than the water-cooled tube  160   a  in  FIG. 3 . The water-cooled chamber  160   b  may have higher heat cooling performance than the water-cooled tube  160   a  in  FIG. 3 . 
     The water-cooled chamber  160   b  may be used 1) when the electrical element  150  generating heat has a relatively large area, 2) when the shield can  140  has a relatively large inner space, or 3) when high cooling performance is required due to a large amount of heat generated by the electrical element  150 . 
       FIG. 5  illustrates a form of a shield can considering an arrangement or form of a peripheral part according to various embodiments.  FIG. 5  is merely illustrative, and the present disclosure is not limited thereto. 
     Referring to  FIG. 5 , the printed circuit board  130  may be disposed inside the electronic device  101 . Various components, such as a battery, a socket, and the like, which are required for driving the electronic device  101  may be arranged around the printed circuit board  130 . The printed circuit board  130  may include at least a partial area covered with the shield can  140 . 
     The shield can  140  may protect electrical elements (e.g., a CPU, a GPU, a memory, and the like) mounted on the printed circuit board  130  and may cool heat generated by the electrical elements. The shield can  140  may have various forms depending on an arrangement of peripheral parts or the number or positions of electrical elements or integrated chips included therein. 
     In various embodiments, the shield can  140  may include at least one hole  142  at a distal end thereof. The shield can  140  may be fixed to the printed circuit board  130  through the hole  142 . 
     In various embodiments, the thermal sheet  140   a  may be attached to at least a portion of the upper surface of the shield can  140 . The thermal sheet  140   a  may cover the water-cooled tube  160   a  exposed through the upper surface of the shield can  140  (e.g., a surface facing a back cover of the electronic device  101 ). The thermal sheet  140   a  may disperse heat transferred to the water-cooled tube  160   a  into the surrounding area of the shield can  140 . 
     In various embodiments, the shield can  140  may include a protrusion  140   b  on at least a portion of the upper surface thereof (e.g., a surface facing the back cover of the electronic device  101 ) and the protrusion  140   b  may protrude toward the outside. The protrusion  140   b  may be disposed in the remaining area other than the area where the water-cooled tube  160   a  is disposed. The protrusion  140   b  may increase the space in the shield can  140  to thicken an air layer in the shield can  140 . This may allow an improvement in an effect of dispersing the heat generated by the electrical elements. 
     In various embodiments, the metal plate  170  may be disposed on at least a portion of a lower surface (or inner surface) of the shield can  140 . The metal plate  170  may have a shape corresponding to that of the lower surface of the shield can  140 . The metal plate  170  may have a smaller area than the shield can  140 .

     Referring to  FIG. 7 , the shield can  140  may include a plurality of electrical elements  701  to  703  therein. The plurality of electrical elements  701  to  703  may act as a heat source when the electronic device  101  is used. For example, the first electrical element  701  may be a CPU, the second electrical element  702  may be a GPU, and the third electrical element  703  may be a memory.

       FIG. 8  is a flowchart illustrating a power control method based on various modes according to various embodiments. 
     Referring to  FIG. 8 , a processor in the electronic device  101  may determine a power supply mode, based on a state in which the electronic device  101  is used or a state of a user that uses the electronic device  101 , and may supply power according to settings of the determined mode. 
     In operation  810 , the processor may collect data on the state of the electronic device  101  or the user by using a sensor or a camera. For example, the processor may recognize the tilt of the electronic device  101  by using an accelerometer sensor. 
     The amount of released heat may vary depending on a condition under which the user uses the electronic device  101  (e.g., the angle or direction of a system, accessory keyboard docking, or the like), and the maximum power to be supplied within a part reliability range may vary correspondingly. For example, the maximum power (thermal design power (TDP)) to be supplied in a range below the temperature that a CPU/GPU is capable of resisting may be stored in advance and may be referred to as needed. 
     In the case where the electronic device  101  is parallel to the direction of gravity, that is, the electronic device  101  is placed upright on the floor, a convective heat radiation effect may be improved, which results in an increase in the amount of released heat. Accordingly, the maximum power to be supplied to the CPU/GPU may be raised (e.g., 8 W). In contrast, in the case where the electronic device  101  is in a horizontal state, the convective heat radiation effect may be reduced, which leads to a decrease in the maximum power (e.g., 6 W) to be supplied to the CPU/GPU. 
     In operation  820 , the processor may determine a power supply mode, based on the collected data. In various embodiments, the power supply mode may include a docking keyboard mode, a game mode, a vertical mode, an inclined mode, a horizontal mode, a handheld vertical mode, a book reading vertical mode, a camera mode, a handheld horizontal mode, an ON table mode, or the like. 
     In the docking keyboard mode, pogo pins may be used to connect and recognize a keyboard, and the electronic device  101  may not have a limitation in surface temperature since the user uses the keyboard with the hands placed on the keyboard in most cases when the keyboard is connected. In the docking keyboard mode, the processor may raise the maximum CPU/GPU power supply value to maximize performance. 
     The game mode may correspond to a state in which the user is analyzed to execute a game application or visit and use a game-related site. The processor may output a UI screen through which the user selects the game mode, and may raise the maximum CPU/GPU power supply value in response to the user&#39;s selection. 
     The vertical mode may correspond to a case where the processor determines that the electronic device  101  is maintained in a vertical state for a predetermined period of time, by analyzing the angle of the electronic device  101  using an accelerometer sensor. The processor may output a UI screen through which the user selects whether to adjust the maximum CPU/GPU power supply value to a vertical mode value, and may raise the maximum CPU/GPU power supply value in response to the user&#39;s selection. 
     The camera mode may be executed when a camera module operates. A relatively large amount of CPU/GPU power supply resources may be required and the maximum CPU/GPU power supply value may be raised when the camera module operates. 
     The inclined mode may correspond to a case where the processor determines that the electronic device  101  is maintained at a specified angle for a predetermined period of time, by analyzing the angle of the electronic device  101  using an accelerometer sensor. The processor may output a UI screen through which the user selects whether to adjust the maximum CPU/GPU power supply value to an inclined mode value, and may raise the maximum CPU/GPU power supply value in response to the user&#39;s selection. 
     The horizontal mode may correspond to a case where the processor determines that the electronic device  101  is maintained in a horizontal state for a predetermined period of time, by analyzing the angle of the electronic device  101  using an accelerometer sensor. The processor may output a UI screen through which the user selects whether to adjust the maximum CPU/GPU power supply value to a horizontal mode value, and may raise the maximum CPU/GPU power supply value in response to the user&#39;s selection. 
     The handheld vertical mode may correspond to a case where the processor determines that the electronic device  101  is maintained at a specified angle for a predetermined period of time, by determining the user&#39;s holding state using a grip sensor and analyzing the angle of the electronic device  101  using an accelerometer sensor. The processor may output a UI screen through which the user selects whether to adjust the maximum CPU/GPU power supply value to a corresponding mode value, and may raise the maximum CPU/GPU power supply value in response to the user&#39;s selection. 
     The vertical book reading mode may correspond to a case where the processor determines that the electronic device  101  is maintained in a vertical state for a predetermined period of time, by determining the user&#39;s holding state using a grip sensor of a system and analyzing the angle of the electronic device  101  using an accelerometer sensor. The processor may output a UI screen through which the user selects whether to adjust the maximum CPU/GPU power supply value to a corresponding mode value, and may raise the maximum CPU/GPU power supply value in response to the user&#39;s selection. 
     The handheld horizontal mode may correspond to a case where the processor determines that the electronic device  101  is maintained in a horizontal state for a predetermined period of time, by determining the user&#39;s holding state using a grip sensor of a system and analyzing the angle of the electronic device  101  using an accelerometer sensor. The processor may output a UI screen through which the user selects whether to adjust the maximum CPU/GPU power supply value to a corresponding mode value, and may raise the maximum CPU/GPU power supply value in response to the user&#39;s selection. 
     The ON table mode may correspond to a case where the processor analyzes the angle of the electronic device  101  by using an accelerometer sensor to determine whether the electronic device  101  is in a horizontal state and a rear camera is hidden by a table so that the brightness of light is maintained at a predetermine level or lower for a predetermined period of time. The processor may output a UI screen through which the user selects the maximum CPU/GPU power supply value to be an ON table mode value, and may raise the maximum CPU/GPU power supply value in response to the user&#39;s selection. 
     In various embodiments, the processor may set different maximum power values in consideration of heat release characteristics of each mode. 
     In operation  830 , the processor may supply power, based on the determined mode. 
       FIG. 9  is a flowchart illustrating a power control method based on a user&#39;s sensible temperature index according to various embodiments. 
     Referring to  FIG. 9 , in operation  910 , the processor in the electronic device  101  may supply power, based on the user&#39;s sensible temperature index that the electronic device  101  uses. 
     Since users differently feel the same temperature, the processor may determine the user&#39;s sensible temperature index and may adjust the maximum power to be supplied, based on the determined index. 
     In operation  910 , the processor may output a sensible temperature setting screen on the display thereof The setting screen may output a surface temperature level allowed by the electronic device  101  and may include an option for selecting a degree desired by the user. In various embodiments, the setting screen may allow setting of sensible temperature through relative temperature display (e.g., very hot/hot/slightly hot) other than absolute temperature display. 
     In operation  920 , the processor may determine a sensible temperature index, based on the user&#39;s selection. 
     In operation  930 , the processor may modify the maximum CPU/GPU power supply value set in advance, based on the determined sensible temperature index.
