Apparatus and method for obtaining coordinate through touch panel thereof

An electronic device comprising:

• a touch panel configured to sense a touch input;
• a pressure sensor configured to sense a pressure applied by the touch input;
• and
• a processor configured to
• process data associated with the touch input received from a control circuit that is electrically connected to the touch panel and the pressure sensor,
• obtain coordinates of the touch input and a pressure value corresponding to the touch input,
• provide the coordinates to the processor if the pressure value is greater than or equal to a threshold value,
• one of initialize and calibrate the touch panel if the pressure value is less than the threshold value, and
• synchronizing the coordinates with the pressure value by changing an event processing period of the pressure sensor to be equal to an event processing period of a touch panel.

A user input recognizing method of an electronic device, the method comprising:

• sensing a touch input on a touch panel of the electronic device;
• obtaining coordinates of the touch input and a pressure value corresponding to the touch input;
• if the pressure value is greater than or equal to a threshold value, determining that the coordinates of the touch input are valid, to allow a function corresponding to the touch input to be performed;
• if the pressure value is less than the threshold value, one of initializing and calibrating the touch panel;
• and
• synchronizing the coordinates with the pressure value by changing an event processing period of a pressure sensor to be equal to an event processing period of a touch panel.
