An electronic device including a touch-enabled display module configured to display a plurality of windows according to a multi-window mode; and a control module configured to displaying on the touch screen a first application window and a second application window according to the multi-window mode, alter the first application window in response to a touchscreen input received via the touch-enabled display, and automatically alter the second application window in response to the alteration of the first application window.

Operating method for multiple windows and electronic device supporting the same

An electronic apparatus is provided. The electronic device includes a display, a fingerprint sensor disposed under the display, and a processor electrically connected with the display and the fingerprint sensor. The processor is configured to set a fingerprint sensing region at a location, which corresponds to a location where the fingerprint sensor is disposed, on the display if the electronic apparatus enters a state for registering a fingerprint of a finger, to display a first guide on the display such that the first guide at least partly overlaps the fingerprint sensing region, to obtain first fingerprint information through the fingerprint sensing region if the finger touches the first guide, to display a second guide on the display such that the second guide at least partly overlaps the fingerprint sensing region, and to obtain second fingerprint information through the fingerprint sensing region if the finger touches the second guide.

Apparatus and method for receiving fingerprint information through guide

An electronic device includes a short range communication module configured to establish a communication channel for collecting device-related information on at least one other electronic device. The electronic device also includes a communication module configured to establish a communication channel with a service supporting device. The electronic device also includes a control module configured to transmit a message requesting function-related information installable or updatable on the other electronic device to the service supporting device in correspondence to the device-related information and configured to control transmitting identification information for receiving the function-related information and the device-related information.

Data processing method and electronic device supporting the same

An electronic device includes a touch screen display; a pressure sensing circuit; a fingerprint sensing circuit at least partially overlapped with the pressure sensing circuit; a wireless communication circuit; at least one processor; and a memory electrically connected with the processor, wherein the memory stores instructions that, when executed, cause the processor to detect a touch input through the touch screen display and a pressure input through the pressure sensing circuit, in a first state of the electronic device, in which the finger print sensing circuit is deactivated; activate the fingerprint sensing circuit in response to the touch input or the pressure input; detect a fingerprint of a finger of a user by using the fingerprint sensing circuit while detecting pressure of the finger of the user to the first plate; and induce the electronic device to become in a second state or third state based at least partially on the detected pressure.
