An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a display including a touch panel; a processor electrically connected to the display; and a memory electrically connected with the processor, wherein the memory stores instructions executed to enable the processor to: receive, from the touch panel, first data regarding a time or an area contacted by an external object through a first region on the display, receive, from the touch panel, second data regarding a contact or an approach of the external object to a second region of the display after the external object is spaced apart from the display, and display an image or an image variation on the display based on the first data or the second data.

Electronic device and method for controlling input in electronic device

An electronic device for processing touch input is disclosed. An electronic device may comprise a touchscreen and a processor configured to perform a first function based on a touch input made by an external object and received through the touchscreen, to determine whether the electronic device is grounded when a variation in a capacitance for the touch input increases to a preset first threshold or more, to adjust a first capacitance for the touch input where the capacitance variation occurs when the electronic device is determined to not be grounded, and to determine whether to perform a second function based on the touch input where the capacitance variation occurs based on the adjusted first capacitance.

Method and electronic device for processing touch input

An electronic device according to various examples comprises: a touch screen display including a touch panel; a processor electrically connected to the display; and a memory electrically connected to the processor, wherein the memory can be set to store instructions that, when executed, enable the processor to: receive, from the touch panel, data related to contact or proximity of an external object to the touch screen display; determine an area detected by the touch panel through the contact or the proximity on the basis of at least a part of the data; determine at least a part of the area having a relatively stronger signal strength in the area; determine at least another part of the area having a relatively weaker signal strength in the area; and display an image or a change in an image on the display on the basis of positions and/or sizes of the determined areas.

Electronic device and input method of electronic device

An apparatus and a method for generating events corresponding to the touch attributes in the electronic device are provided. The apparatus, including an electronic device, may include a touch sensor and a processor. The processor is configured to control for determining at least one touch attribute including at least one of an intensity, an area, and a direction of a touch input based on a change in the capacitance in the touch sensor due to the touch input on the touch sensor, and executing a function corresponding to a predetermined criterion if the at least one touch attribute satisfies the predetermined criterion.

Method for providing events corresponding to touch attributes and electronic device thereof

A method and apparatus providing a user interface for an Internet service are provided. The user interface providing apparatus displays an nWeb page including at least one hyperlink on a screen, senses a direction of a gesture, determines a hyperlink indicating one of a previous Web page and next Web page to a current Web page from among the at least one hyperlink based on the gesture direction, and displays a Web page indicated by the determined hyperlink on the screen.

Method and apparatus for providing user interface for internet service

A method of listening to radio broadcast in a portable terminal includes reproducing radio broadcasts on a frequency selected by a user; determining a change in a value of a received signal strength indication (RSSI) of the selected frequency and analyzing a pattern of the change; and providing a complementary service based on the analyzed pattern when the radio broadcast over the selected frequency is not feasible.
