An apparatus and a method for detecting a black area of dynamic image content in an electronic device are provided. The electronic device may include a housing, a display device exposed through a portion of the housing, a recess disposed inside the housing and extending along a length of the housing, an electronic pen insertable into the recess and removable therefrom, at least one processor located inside the housing and operatively connected to the display device, and a memory operatively connected to the at least one processor. The memory stores instructions that, when executed, cause the at least one processor to identify whether the electronic pen is removed from the recess in a low-power mode, receive information related to the electronic pen when the electronic pen is removed from the recess, and execute an application, based on at least a portion of the information related to the electronic pen.

Method of controlling operation mode using electronic pen and electronic device for same

Various embodiments of the present disclosure relate to an electronic device for supporting a user input and a control method of the electronic device, and the disclosed electronic device may: identify occurrence of a first event; display a first user interface, provided by a first application program, on a display according to the occurrence of the first event; receiving, through the first user interface, a user input including an indicator indicating a category; and when the user input is received, display, on the display, a category corresponding to the user input among at least one category provided by a second application program. Various other embodiments are possible.

Electronic device for supporting user input and control method of electronic device

An electronic device is disclosed. The disclosed electronic device comprises: a touch screen display structure; a first wireless communication circuit; a second wireless communication circuit; a stylus pen including at least one button which can be pressed or touched; a processor operationally connected to the touch screen display structure and the first wireless communication circuit; and a memory operationally connected to the processor. A first application program including a first user interface, and a second application program including a second user interface are stored in the memory. The memory has instructions stored therein which are configured to cause, when executed, the processor to: execute the first application program and second application program when a user input is received; display at least one of the first user interface and second user interface by means of the touch screen display structure; receive a first signal, which is generated by the press or touch of the button for a first time period, from the stylus pen through the first wireless communication circuit; select one from the first application program and second application program on the basis of the first signal; change at least part of information displayed on the screen, at least partly on the basis of the selection; receive a second signal, which is generated by the press or touch of the button for a second time period different from the first time period, from the stylus pen through the first wireless communication circuit; and at least partly on the basis of the selection, perform a function of the first application program or a function of the second application program in response to the second signal. Various other embodiments are possible.
