An apparatus and a method for generating events corresponding to the touch attributes in the electronic device are provided. The apparatus, including an electronic device, may include a touch sensor and a processor. The processor is configured to control for determining at least one touch attribute including at least one of an intensity, an area, and a direction of a touch input based on a change in the capacitance in the touch sensor due to the touch input on the touch sensor, and executing a function corresponding to a predetermined criterion if the at least one touch attribute satisfies the predetermined criterion.
