An electronic device includes a camera; a display; at least one sensor; a communication unit configured to establish wireless communication with another electronic device using at least one protocol; and a processor configured to be functionally connected to the camera, the display, the at least one sensor, and the communication unit, wherein the processor is configured to perform a call with the other electronic device, detect a state change of the electronic device based on sensing information sensed by the at least one sensor while the call is maintaining, determine whether the state change of the electronic device corresponds to a user gesture for switching a call mode, and in response to determining that the state change or the electronic device corresponds to the user gesture for switching the call mode, switch the call mode.

Method and apparatus for providing image service

Various examples of the present invention relate to a method and an apparatus for transmitting an image while performing a voice call between electronic devices. According to the various examples of the present invention, an electronic device comprises: a camera; a display; a communication unit configured so as to establish wireless communication with another electronic device by using at least one protocol; and a processor functionally connected to the camera, the display, and the communication unit, wherein the processor can be configured to: perform a voice call with another electronic device on the basis of a first network; detect a user input for performing a video call with the another electronic device while performing the voice call with the other electronic device; connect the video call on the basis of a second network and display a user interface related to the video call on the display, according to the user input; and display, through the user interface, the image acquired from the camera and transmit the image to be displayed through the second network to the other electronic device. Various examples are possible.

According to various embodiments of the present disclosure, an electronic device includes an input panel configured to sense a touch area corresponding to a touch manipulation of a user periodically. A processor is configured to set a reference area based on at least one first touch area and calculate a difference between a second touch area and the reference area. The processor further determines that a touch event occurs if the difference value is at least a first threshold value. Embodiments may additionally include the processor calculating a rate of change of the touch area based on the sensed touch area, and determining that the specified touch event occurs if the difference value is greater than or equal to the first threshold value and if the rate of change of the touch area is greater than or equal to a second threshold value.

Input processing method and device

A method and apparatus for controlling content using a graphical object in a mobile terminal are provided, in which the user may create a graphical object on the screen through touch input and easily apply various actions such as copy, delete, move, transfer, attribute change and compress to content items by means of the created graphical object. The content control method includes: detecting a preset touch input; creating a graphical object at a region where the touch input is detected; determining a mode of the created graphical object; linking at least one content item on the screen with the graphical object; and controlling the content item linked therewith depending on the mode of the graphical object. Hence, the user can control a mobile terminal through touch inputs in a more convenient and intuitive manner, increasing user convenience.
