Abstract
An electronic device including a display; a touch sensor configured to detect a touch input on the display; and a controller configured to activate the display and periodically drive the touch sensor with a first period; deactivate the display in response to a predetermined condition and periodically drive the touch sensor with a second period greater than the first period; wherein when the display is deactivated, the touch sensor is divided into a first region and a second region; in response to a first tap input applied on the touch sensor in a state of the deactivated display, determine a region of the touch sensor that corresponds to the first tap input; if the region of the touch sensor that corresponds to the first tap input is the first region of the touch sensor, activate the display and periodically drive the touch sensor with the first period; and if the region of the touch sensor that corresponds to the first tap input is the second region of the touch sensor, maintain the deactivation of the display and periodically drive the touch sensor with the second period.
