Abstract
An electronic device and method are provided. The electronic device includes an electromagnetic resonant panel, an electromagnetic controller configured to detect input values, which are induced in multiple locations of the electromagnetic resonant panel by at least one resonant circuit of an input pen, and a controller configured to detect a pen multi-input event based on the detected input values, and to control an operation corresponding to the detected pen multi-input event.
Claims18
An electronic device comprising:
- an electromagnetic resonant panel;
- an electromagnetic controller configured to detect input values, which are induced in multiple locations of the electromagnetic resonant panel by at least one resonant circuit of an input pen;
- and
- at least one processor configured to:
- detect a pen multi-input event including a first input value and a second input value induced in two locations by the at least one resonant circuit of the input pen, when both of the first input value and the second input value exceed a first threshold,
- determine an input type of the pen multi-input event according to whether levels of the first input value and the second input value are identical to or different from each other based on a second threshold greater than the first threshold, and
- control an operation corresponding to the determined input type of the pen multi-input event
- wherein the at least one processor is configured to:
- determine the input type as a first pen multi-input event by determining that the first input value and the second input value are identical to each other, if both of the first input value and the second input value exceed the second threshold, and
- determine the input type as a second pen multi-input event by determining that the first input value and the second input value are different from each other, if the first input value exceeds the second threshold and the second input value does not exceed the second threshold.
