The electronic device includes a housing including a first surface that faces in a first direction and a second surface that faces in a second direction which is an opposite direction of the first direction, a touchscreen display disposed between the first surface and the second surface and exposed through the first surface, a pressure sensor disposed between the first surface and the second surface and configured to detect a pressure by an external object on the touchscreen display, an image sensor disposed to be exposed through the second surface, a wireless communication circuit disposed inside the housing, at least one processor electrically connected with the touchscreen display, the pressure sensor, the image sensor, and the wireless communication circuit, and a memory electrically connected with the at least one processor.
Abstract:
An electronic device and a control method of the electronic device are provided. The electronic device includes: a housing including a first surface facing in a first direction and a second surface facing in a second direction opposite the first direction; a touchscreen display disposed between the first surface and the second surface, and exposed through the first surface; a pressure sensor disposed between the first surface and the second surface, and configured to detect a pressure applied on the touchscreen display by an external object; at least one processor electrically connected to the touchscreen display, the pressure sensor, and a wireless communication circuit; and a memory electrically connected to the processor. The memory stores instructions which when executed by the processor cause the electronic device to perform operations comprising: displaying a user interface including at least one item on the touchscreen display; receiving an input for selecting at least one item through the touchscreen display; sensing a pressure applied, to and/or around, the at least one item on the display using the pressure sensor while the input is received; selecting a part of the user interface at least partially based on the input and the sensed pressure; and providing a visual effect on the user interface based at least in part on the sensed pressure wherein the selected part of the user interface is displayed to appear concave compared with the remaining part of the user interface.
Abstract:
An electronic device for controlling at least one function based on a user input, and a control method for the electronic device are provided. According to various example embodiments, an electronic device that operates based on a user input may acquire a gesture through an input area of a display unit functionally connected to the electronic device. The electronic device may perform at least one function of the electronic device, based on various variables (for example, a time period for which the gesture is sensed, a size of an area in which the gesture is sensed, a direction in which the gesture moves, or intensity at which the gesture is sensed, through the input area) corresponding to the acquired gesture. Various other example embodiments are disclosed.
