Abstract
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.
