Abstract
An electronic device is disclosed. The electronic device may include a software keyboard that may include keys, each key including a sensing region and a character code. The software keyboard may detect a contact on a sensing region of a key and output the character code of the key. The electronic device may include a memory that may store a fixed layout and a moving layout. The fixed layout may include one or more fixed sensing regions, and each one may correspond to a key and include an unchangeable range. The moving layout may include one or more moving sensing regions, and each one may correspond to a key and include a changeable range. A character code output unit may, in response to contact at a fixed sensing region or moving sensing region, output the character code corresponding to the key of the contacted sensing region.
