    Abstract: An electronic device includes a display; a touch sensor configured to detect at least one position of a touch by an external object on the display; a pressure sensor configured to detect pressure by the external object against the display; at least one processor electrically connected with the display, the touch sensor, and the pressure sensor; and memory electrically connected with the processor, wherein the memory stores a plurality of executable instructions, when executed, cause the at least one processor to: present a user interface containing content on the display; receive, from the touch sensor and the pressure sensor, indicators of the position and pressure of the external object pressing the display; determine a primary position on the content, based at least in part on the position of the touch; determine a selection area on the content that includes the primary position, based at least in part on the pressure; and display an indication of the selection area over the content.

    Abstract: An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a touchscreen display, a pressure sensor positioned to sense external pressure against the display, a fingerprint sensor positioned to detect a fingerprint on at least a portion of the display, a processor electrically coupled to the display, the pressure sensor, and the fingerprint sensor, and a memory electrically coupled to the processor, in which the memory stores at least one registered fingerprint. The processor is configured to sense pressure of a user's finger against the display using the pressure sensor, upon sensing of the pressure, activate the fingerprint sensor, detect a fingerprint of the finger using the fingerprint sensor, determine whether the detected fingerprint is matched with any of the at least one registered fingerprint, and perform a preselected function without further requiring authentication, when the detected fingerprint is matched with any of the at least one registered fingerprint.

    Abstract: An electronic device includes a housing, a display, a touch sensor sensing a touch of an external object, a force sensor sensing pressure by the touch, and a processor that is electrically connected with the display. The touch sensor, the force sensor and a memory are electrically connected with the processor. The memory stores instructions that, when executed, cause the processor to activate at least part of the force sensor while the display is turned off, or while the display operates in a low-power mode, to perform a first function if pressure of a first level by the touch is sensed in the at least part of the force sensor. The processor also performs a second function associated with the first function if pressure of a second level by the touch is sensed in the force sensor while the first function is performed.
