1. An electronic device, comprising:
at least one sensor; and
at least one processor configured to:
identify a gesture identification request from a first application being executed by the at least one processor;
in response to the identification of the gesture identification request, identify a gesture using at least one sensing data from at least one first sensor module activated, among the at least one sensor, based on a gesture application;
provide the identified gesture to the first application; and
perform at least one operation corresponding to the identified gesture based on the first application,
wherein, to identify the gesture using the at least one sensing data from the at least one activated first sensor module, the at least one processor is further configured to:
generate at least one summation data corresponding to the at least one sensing data based on the at least one sensing data for a designated length of section,
identify a section of the at least one sensing data as a segmentation section, based on the at least one summation data meeting a designated condition, and
perform gesture recognition on the segmentation section,
wherein the at least one processor is further configured to identify that the at least one summation data meets the designated condition based on a ratio of first comparison summation data, among the at least one summation data, to reference summation data, exceeding a designated threshold.
