Abstract
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.
