METHOD AND DEVICE FOR MEASURING ALTITUDE IN AN AIRCRAFT

A method for measuring a height on a plane is provided. Generally, an electronic device (100, 200) displays an altitude obtained in a first detection manner. After determining that a first switching condition is met, the electronic device (100, 200) displays an altitude obtained in a second detection manner. In this way, generally, the electronic device (100, 200) displays an altitude detected based on a barometric pressure sensor. When a barometric pressure value of an environment in which the electronic device (100, 200) is located is inconsistent with an atmospheric pressure value, the data of the barometric pressure sensor is invalid. The electronic device (100, 200) displays an altitude obtained in another detection manner. In this way, the electronic device (100, 200) can display an accurate altitude in a case in which a user takes a plane.
