1. An electronic device comprising:
a first temperature sensor positioned at a first location;
a second temperature sensor positioned at a second location which is spaced apart from the first location;
a processor operably connected to the first temperature sensor and the second temperature sensor; and
a memory operably connected to the processor,
wherein the memory is configured to store instructions of, when being executed, allowing the processor to:
determine whether heating of the electronic device is abnormal heating, based on a difference value between a first temperature at the first location and a second temperature at the second location;
judge whether a user recognizes the abnormal heating, based on an assumption that the heating of the electronic device is determined to be the abnormal heating;
control the abnormal heating based on a result of judging whether the user has recognized,
change an operation level of a function which is being executed, from a first level to a second level lower than the first level, based on an assumption of judging that the abnormal heating is being recognized by the user; and
change the operation level of the function which is being executed, to a third level lower than the second level, based on an assumption of judging that the abnormal heating is not being recognized by the user.
