ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND METHOD

An electronic device comprises a memory (106); a sensor (101) for sensing motion of the electronic device; an application processor (102); and a state determination unit (104). The unit is configured to while the application processor is in a sleep state, control to cause motion information relating to the motion of the electronic device to be written in the memory for processing by the application processor, and control to send a notification to the application processor in the sleep state. The application processor is configured to: read the motion information from the memory after transitioning from the sleep state to a wake-up state based on the notification, and process at least a portion of the read motion information, and to provide, based on the processing of the at least the portion of the read motion information, activity information to a user of the electronic device via the electronic device.
