1. A method for determining entry of an electronic device into a specific region, the method comprising:
estimating a moving direction of the electronic device;
aligning a coordinate axis of measurement data, obtained to determine whether the electronic device enters a first region where a virtual marker is registered, in the moving direction;
aligning a direction of the coordinate axis of the measurement data in a direction of a coordinate axis of the electronic device when generating a registered virtual marker, and
determining entry of the electronic device into the specific region based on the registered virtual marker.
