An electronic device and method are provided for processing an input using view layers. The electronic device includes a memory, a display, and a processor. The memory stores a first predetermined condition and a second predetermined condition both of which are used for determining whether an input for one or more displayed view objects is valid. The processor displays the view objects using a first view layer and a second view layer at least partially overlapping with the first view layer, and obtains a user input regarding the displayed view object. If a movement of the user input satisfies the first predetermined condition, the processor processes the user input by using the first view layer. If the movement of the user input satisfies the second predetermined condition, the processor processes the user input by using the second view layer.

An electronic device and method for recognizing a touch input on the electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a touch panel and a processor. The processor configured to determine the type of an object contacting the touch panel, set, when the object is of a first type, a threshold for touch recognition on the touch panel to a first designated value, set, when the object is of a second type, the threshold to a second designated value, and recognize a touch input by the object on the basis of the threshold set to one of the first designated value and the second designated value.
