Abstract:
An electronic device capable of processing a user input without direct contact is disclosed. The electronic device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure may include a plurality of contact electrodes having one end thereof contacted with a user's body respectively to be electrically connected to the user's body, at least one body contact interface electrically connected to the plurality of contact electrodes through the user's body and having a predetermined impedance value, and a signal processing unit connected to other end of the plurality of contact electrodes respectively to form a circuit through the plurality of contact electrodes, the at least one body contact interface, and the user's body, and determining a user input corresponding to an impedance characteristic of the circuit.
