摘要：: A method of avoiding screen off during an Automatic Response System (ARS) service is provided. The method includes enabling a proximity sensor in a call connection, detecting one of a first gesture and a second gesture during a call, and upon detecting the first gesture, disabling the proximity sensor.
主权项：: 1. An electronic device comprising: a proximity sensor configured to detect an object in proximity to the proximity sensor; a display unit configured to operate based on a result of the detection by the proximity sensor while the proximity sensor is enabled; and a processor configured to control the proximity sensor to selectively enable or disable during a call, wherein the proximity sensor is enabled in response to establishing the call, and is disabled while detecting input from a user via an input interface displayed in the display unit during the call.
