A method for processing a touch or a gesture input made though the touch panel of the electronic device is provided. An electronic device includes a display having a touch panel for receiving a touch or a gesture input, a processor which is electrically connected to the display, and a memory which is electrically connected to the processor, wherein the memory stores instructions, executable to configure the processor to receive the gesture input made through the touch panel, to detect touch coordinates corresponding to the gesture input on the touch panel, to determine predictive coordinates corresponding to the touch coordinates, to determine whether to compensate the predictive coordinates based on a movement direction of the gesture input, to determine target coordinates corresponding to the predictive coordinates based on a movement speed of the gesture input, and to display at least one object at the target coordinates on the display.
