Abstract:
An electronic device and method are disclosed. The electronic device includes a memory, a display, a touch sensor included in the display or coupled to the display, and configured to sense a touch. A pressure sensor configured to detect a pressure value of the touch and a processor electrically connected with the memory, the display, the touch sensor, and the pressure sensor, wherein the processor is configured to sense a first touch having a pressure value of a specified threshold value or greater, by using the touch sensor and the pressure sensor, store first location data of the first touch in the memory, sense a second touch, by using the touch sensor and the pressure sensor, wherein the second touch has a pressure value of the specified threshold value or greater and is made after sensing the first touch and perform a specified operation of utilizing the first location data and second location data of the second touch as an input, in response to sensing the second touch.
