1. An electronic device comprising:
a sensor module;
a display;
a communication module;
memory storing instructions; and
a processor, wherein the instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the electronic device to:
obtain sensing data from the sensor module;
analyze a movement pattern of a user including a walking pattern or a stroke pattern based on the obtained sensing data;
identify an operation mode of the electronic device as a first operation mode when the movement pattern of the user is analyzed as the walking pattern;
identify whether there is a connection with an external device corresponding to a walking assist device through the communication module,
identify the operation mode of the electronic device as a second operation mode when there is no connection with the external device,
identify the operation mode of the electronic device as a third operation mode when there is the connection with the external device; and
analyze activity information of the user based on the identified operation mode to display the activity information using the display.
