An electronic device includes a display displaying an execution screen of an application, a touch pad receiving a user input associated with control of the execution screen, and a processor controlling scroll processing of the execution screen. The processor is configured to divide the touch pad into a plurality of virtual regions and to add a first threshold value of a minimum magnitude for determining that the continuous user input is a scroll control input of the execution screen to the second coordinates when the user input is continuous from first coordinates of a first virtual region to second coordinates of a second virtual region adjacent to the first virtual region at a specified speed or more.
