Method for controlling operation of electronic device and electronic device using the same

A method for controlling an operation of an electronic device, the method comprising:

• detecting by a first sensor a temperature of a plurality of components internal to the electronic device and generating a first signal based on the detected temperature, the electronic device including the plurality of components disposed underneath a touchscreen display of the electronic device;
• calculating a surface temperature of the electronic device based on the detected temperature;
• in response to detecting a touch input to the touchscreen display, loading from a memory information indicating a location of at least one component of the plurality of components disposed underneath the touchscreen display;
• comparing a location where the touch input contacts the touchscreen display to the loaded information corresponding to the location of the at least one component to determine whether the location of the touch input corresponds to the location of the at least one component of the plurality of components;
• altering, by a processor, a reference temperature based on whether the location of the touch input is determined to correspond to the location of the at least one component;
• and
• modifying operation of the at least one component if the surface temperature is higher than the altered reference temperature,
• wherein modifying the operation of the at least one component comprises:
• operating the at least one component in a limited mode;
• and
• operating other components among the plurality of components in a normal mode.

A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing programming instructions executable by at least one processor to cause an electronic device to:

• detect a temperature of a plurality of components internal to the electronic device and generate a first signal based on the detected temperature, the electronic device including the plurality of components disposed underneath a touchscreen display of the electronic device;
• calculate a surface temperature of the electronic device based on the detected temperature;
• in response to detecting a touch input to the touchscreen display, load from a memory information indicating a location of at least one component of the plurality of components disposed underneath the touchscreen display;
• compare a location where the touch input contacts the touchscreen display to the loaded information corresponding to the location of the at least one component to determine whether the touch input corresponds to the location of the at least one component of the plurality of components;
• alter, by the at least one processor, a reference temperature based on whether the location of the touch input is determined to correspond to the location of the at least one component;
• and
• modify operation of the at least one component if the surface temperature is higher than the altered reference temperature,
• wherein the at least one processor is configured to operate the at least one component in a limited mode and to operate other components among the plurality of components in a normal mode.
