A window management method in an electronic device and an electronic device thereof are provided. The method includes displaying, on a display, a first window; displaying, on the display with the first window, a second window as a pop-up window or a split window; displaying a handler for adjusting a size of at least one of the first window and the second window at a boundary area of the first window or the second window; and changing the displayed split window into the pop-up window or the displayed pop-up window into the split window in response to a user input to the handler.

Window management method and electronic device supporting the same

According to certain embodiments, an electronic device comprises a housing comprising a front surface and a rear surface oriented in a direction opposite to the front surface, a touchscreen display exposed through at least a portion of the front surface, a fingerprint sensor arranged between the touchscreen display and the rear surface underlapping a region of the touchscreen display when viewed from above the front surface, at least one processor operatively connected to the touchscreen display and the fingerprint sensor, and a memory operatively connected to the at least one processor, wherein the memory stores instructions for causing the at least one processor, when executed, to perform operations comprising displaying a user interface comprising an object on the touchscreen display, receiving a gesture input for dragging the object toward the region, the gesture input inputted through the touchscreen display, identifying whether a finger providing the gesture input is a predetermined finger registered for authentication through the fingerprint sensor, and activating the fingerprint sensor based at least in part on the identification.

Method for recognizing fingerprint, and electronic device and storage medium therefor

An electronic device is disclosed which includes a housing including a first surface facing in a first direction and a second surface facing in a second direction that is opposite to the first direction, a display disposed between the first surface and the second surface, at least a part of the display being exposed through the first surface, a pressure sensor disposed between the display and the second surface and detecting pressure of an external object applied on the display, and a processor electrically connected with the display and the pressure sensor. If a touch input of a specified pressure intensity or more is made by the external object in any region on the display, the processor activates at least one virtual function key operating in common with respect to any screens to be displayed in the display.

Display operating method and electronic device supporting the same

A window management method in an electronic device and an electronic device thereof are provided. The method includes receiving, by a controller, a user input event generated in association with a selection of an item displayed in a display area of a display; and outputting, to the display, by a display control module, a plurality of windows corresponding to the selected item and information indicating at least one output capable window corresponding to the selected item and available to be output in a specified form in a specified area.
