Abstract:
An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a housing, a touch display, a pressure sensing circuit, a fingerprint sensor, a processor, and a memory. The memory is configured to store fingerprint data associated with a plurality of reference fingerprints. The processor is configured to, when pressure is applied by the finger in the fingerprint sensing area, receive first data associated with the pressure from the pressure sensing circuit and receive second data associated with the fingerprint of the finger from the fingerprint sensor, identify a selected function corresponding to the second data based on comparing result of the second data and the reference fingerprint data, and execute the selected function.
