Electronic device and method for controlling pressure input

An electronic device comprising:

• a housing comprising a first plate and a second plate separated from the first plate;
• a touch screen display disposed within the housing and exposed through a portion of the first plate;
• a pressure detection circuit disposed between the first plate and the second plate and configured to detect pressure by external pressure applied to at least a portion of the touch screen display;
• a wireless communication circuit disposed within the housing;
• at least one processor disposed within the housing and electrically connected to the touch screen display, the pressure detection circuit, and the wireless communication circuit;
• and
• a memory disposed within the housing and electrically connected to the processor,
• wherein the memory is configured to store an application comprising a user interface and instructions,
• wherein the instructions are configured to cause the processor to:
• display a plurality of objects in the user interface on the touch screen display;
• detect a pressure level of a user input on or around the plurality of objects through the pressure detection circuit;
• identify, from among the plurality of objects, a first object corresponding to the pressure level of the user input;
• and
• in response to identifying the first object:
• change visual attributes of second objects, except for the first object, from among the plurality of objects, and
• identify one of a plurality of operations related to the first object.
