Abstract
A method of generating an operating signal of an electronic device includes: deriving a force measurement value based on a change in inductance of a touch sensing device disposed inside a housing of the electronic device and configured to change inductance by external pressure applied to a touch switching unit of the housing; accumulatively recording the force measurement value derived in the deriving of the force measurement value; setting a reference value based on the recorded force measurement value, in response to the force measurement value being accumulatively recorded until a unit condition is satisfied; and generating an operating signal based on a high and low relationship between the force measurement value derived from the change in inductance occurring after the setting of the reference value, and the set reference value.
