Abstract

An electronic device includes a contact sensing module for sensing a human body contact of a conductive object located outside the electronic device. The electronic device also has a position sensing module for sensing a contact position of the human body with which the conductive object is in contact from outside the electronic device. In addition a processor is included for displaying a graphic in a region of a display corresponding to the sensed contact position when a position of the human body is sensed through the position sensing module while contact of the human body is sensed through the contact sensing module.
