Abstract
An electronic device including a plurality of displays and a method for operating the electronic device are provided. The method includes sensing pressure of an input to at least one of the plurality of displays, executing a first function in correspondence with the input if the sensed pressure is equal to or greater than a threshold, and executing a second function different from the first function in correspondence with the input if the sensed pressure is less than the threshold.
Claims18
A method for operating an electronic device having a plurality of displays, the method comprising:
- sensing pressure of a first input to a first display among the plurality of displays;
- sensing pressure of a second input to a second display among the plurality of displays;
- in response to the sensed pressure of the first input to the first display being equal to or greater than a threshold, executing a first function;
- and
- in response to the sensed pressure of the second input to the second display being equal to or greater than the threshold, executing a second function which is different from the first function,
- wherein the executing of the first function is based on the pressure of the first input and the executing of the second function is based on the pressure of the second input.
An electronic device comprising:
- a plurality of displays;
- a pressure sensor configured to sense pressure of a first input to a first display among the plurality of displays and of a second input to a second display among the plurality of displays;
- a memory;
- and
- a processor electrically connected to the memory,
- wherein the memory stores instructions configured to be executed by the processor,
- wherein the processor is configured to control for:
- sensing pressure of the first input to the first display among the plurality of displays,
- sensing pressure of the second input to the second display among the plurality of displays,
- in response to each of the sensed pressure of the first input to the first display being equal to or greater than a threshold, executing a first function, and
- in response to the sensed pressure of the second input to the second display being equal to or greater than the threshold, executing a second function which is different from the first function,
- wherein the processor executes the first function based on the pressure of the first input and executes the second function based on the pressure of the second input.
