Abstract:
A method for operation of an electronic device and an electronic device are provided. The method includes determining if an object is detected at a first terminal and a second terminal among a plurality of terminals of an ear jack. If the object is detected, the impedance of the second terminal is calculated, and a type of the object is determined according to the calculated impedance.

Claim (Index 10):
An electronic device comprising:\n an object sensor configured to detect an electrical change of a left terminal among a plurality of terminals of an ear jack connector, and determine that an object is inserted in the ear jack connector based on the detection; and a processor configured to\n measure a first impedance of the left terminal and a second impedance of a ground terminal among the plurality of terminals of the ear jack connector using an impedance detector, \n determine whether the object is moisture according to the second impedance of the ground terminal in a state in which the object is detected at both the left terminal and the ground terminal, and \n in response to determining that the object is moisture, use a path other than a path associated with the ear jack when outputting an audio signal.
