Electronic device for identifying gesture performed by stylus pen and method for operating the same

An electronic device comprising:

• a sensing panel;
• communication circuitry;
• at least one processor electrically connected to the sensing panel and the communication circuitry;
• and
• a memory electrically connected to the at least one processor,
• wherein the memory is configured to store instructions, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the electronic device to:
• receive, through the communication circuitry from a stylus pen, at least one communication signal, the at least one communication signal comprising information on a position of the stylus pen,
• identify whether a pen signal by the stylus pen is detected through the sensing panel,
• based on the at least one communication signal being received while the pen signal by the stylus pen is detected through the sensing panel:
• disregard the information on the position of the stylus pen included in the received at least one communication signal, and
• perform a first operation identified based on the detected pen signal identified through the sensing panel while continuing to disregard the information on the position of the stylus pen included in the received at least one communication signal, and
• based on the at least one communication signal being received while the pen signal by the stylus pen is not detected through the sensing panel:
• identify a gesture based on the information on the position of the stylus pen included in the received at least one communication signal, and
• perform a second operation, different by the first operation, corresponding to the identified gesture.
