Abstract: In one embodiment, a method for operating a camera included in a touch input device including a touch screen is disclosed. A processor determines a capacitance pattern for a varying capacitance throughout the touch screen when the touch screen is underwater and no touch input occurs. The processor resets a varying reference capacitance for determining whether a touch input by an object occurs or not, the varying reference capacitance being reset based on the determined capacitance pattern when the touch screen is underwater and no touch input occurs. The touch screen receives a touch pressure by the object underwater. Operation of the camera is controlled according to the touch pressure to the touch screen.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a touch input device capable of detecting a pressure of a touch on a touch surface includes a display panel and an electrode disposed under the display panel. An electrical characteristic detected at the electrode is changed by the bending of the display panel. A magnitude of the pressure applied to the touch surface is detected according to the change amount of the electrical characteristic. The display panel includes a first area and a second area. A pressure detection sensitivity of the first area is higher than a pressure detection sensitivity of the second area. When the first area and the second are bent to the same degree, a change amount of the electrical characteristic detected when a pressure is applied to the second area is greater than a change amount of the electrical characteristic detected when a pressure is applied to the first area.
