Method of operating and electronic device thereof

An operation method in an electronic pen for an electronic device with a touch screen and a memory, the method comprising:

• transmitting a hovering input to the electronic device spaced away from the electronic pen;
• receiving, from the electronic device, a vibration command based on at least part of the hovering input, wherein the hovering input is a change in inductance generated by a magnetic member of the electronic pen movably disposed within a housing of the electronic pen and a coil member fixed within the housing;
• and
• controlling a plurality of vibrators of the electronic pen according to the received vibration command,
• wherein the vibration command is determined, at the electronic device, based on the hovering input from the electronic pen and an activated application, and
• wherein the vibration command includes an instruction to sequentially vibrate the plurality of vibrators in a prespecified order in response to detecting a prespecified event.

An electronic device comprising:

• a touch screen configured to interact electromagnetically with an electronic pen;
• a communication unit configured to communicate with the electronic pen;
• and
• a processor configured to:
• activate an application among a plurality of applications installed in the electronic device, wherein the activated application provides a vibration command on contents associated with the activated application;
• detect a hovering input from the electronic pen spaced away from the touch screen via the communication unit, wherein the hovering input is a change in inductance generated by a magnetic member of the electronic pen movably disposed within a housing of the electronic pen and a coil member fixed within the housing;
• determine the vibration command based on both the detected hovering input and the activated application;
• and
• control the communication unit to transmit the determined vibration command to the electronic pen,
• wherein the vibration command is used for controlling a plurality of vibrators of the electronic pen, and
• wherein the vibration command includes an instruction to sequentially vibrate the plurality of vibrators in a prespecified order in response to detecting a prespecified event.

An electronic pen comprising:

• a resonance circuit configured to electromagnetically interact with a touch screen of an external electronic device, wherein the external electronic device detects a hovering input from the electronic pen spaced away from the touch screen of the external electronic device, wherein the hovering input is generated by a change in inductance generated by a magnetic member of the electronic pen movably disposed within a housing of the electronic pen and a coil member fixed within the housing;
• a receiver configured to wirelessly receive a vibration command from the external electronic device, wherein the vibration command is based on at least part of the hovering input;
• and
• a plurality of vibrators configured to vibrate under control of a controller, the controller configured to control the plurality of vibrators according to the received vibration command,
• wherein the vibration command is determined, at the electronic device, based on the hovering input from the electronic pen and an activated application, and
• wherein the vibration command includes an instruction to sequentially vibrate all of the plurality of vibrators in a prespecified order in response to detecting a prespecified event.
