An electronic device includes a user interface; at least one processor operably coupled to the user interface; and a memory operably coupled to the at least one processor, wherein memory is configured to store instructions that, when executed, cause the at least one processor to determine, when the electronic device is in a first state, whether or not a first condition is satisfied; perform a first action of changing a state of the electronic device from the first state to a second state if the first condition is satisfied; receive, through the user interface, a user input of changing the state of the electronic device from the second state to a third state; change the state of the electronic device from the second state to the third state at least partially based on the received user input; and maintain the third state even if the first condition is not satisfied in the third state.

Method for providing routine to determine a state of an electronic device and electronic device supporting same

Methods and apparatuses for touch event processing are provided. A touch input is received in a designated region of a touchscreen display of the electronic device. The touch input is stored in a memory of the electronic device without providing the touch input as input to an application of the electronic device, upon reception of the touch input in the designated region. A drag input is received on the touch screen display as a continuation of the touch input. A processor of the electronic device determines the touch input and the drag input as input for the application upon the drag input exceeding a threshold.

Method and apparatus for performing a function based on a touch event and a relationship to edge and non-edge regions

An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a rectangular display, at least one sensor, a processor electrically connected to the display and the at least one sensor, and a memory electrically connected to the processor, wherein the memory stores an application program including a first layout to be displayed when the display is substantially oriented in a horizontal orientation and a second layout is played when the display is substantially oriented in a vertical orientation, and the memory stores instructions which, when executed by the processor, causes the process to perform operations including displaying a window including one of the first and second layouts on a part of the display, detecting a change in the orientation of the electronic device by using the at least one sensor, rotating the window about 90 degrees based on the detected orientation change, and continuously maintaining one of the first and second layout in the window.

Electronic device and method for configuring display thereof

An electronic device capable of touch event processing is provided. The electronic device includes first and second surfaces oriented in different directions, the second surface being narrower than the first surface, a touchscreen display including a touch panel, and having a first section exposed through the first surface and a second section exposed through the second surface, a processor electrically connected with the touchscreen display, and a memory that stores instructions that cause, when executed, the processor to activate the touch panel, to detect a first touch event on one of the first section and the second section, to detect a second touch event on the other section after detection of the first touch event, to remove one of the first touch event and the second touch event, and to perform a function according at least partly to the remaining touch event.
