1. An electronic device comprising:
memory storing instructions;
a radar configured to transmit an electromagnetic signal and receive a radar signal which is a reflected signal of the electromagnetic signal, the reflected signal being reflected from at least one target object of a surrounding environment of the electronic device;
a touch pad configured to detect a touch of a user based on a touch threshold value; and
at least one processor operatively coupled with the memory, the radar, and the touch pad, the instructions, when executed by the at least one processor, causing the electronic device to:
obtain the radar signal received via the radar;
identify, based on the radar signal, the surrounding environment of the electronic device; and
adjust the touch threshold value based on the surrounding environment that is identified based on the radar signal.
