US 12,182,389 B2 · Method for processing touch input and an electronic device thereof

Abstract

A method for operating an electronic device is provided. Aspects include configuring a touch slop corresponding to a reference for performing a scroll in response to detection of a first touch event and acquiring touch information corresponding to a current touch point every predetermined time while the first touch event is maintained. Based on a determination that a touch movement distance exceeds the touch slop, based on the acquired touch information, aspects include initiating a scroll for a first screen displayed on the display module. Aspects further include identifying scroll data comprising at least one of a movement speed, a movement distance, and deceleration of the first touch event, based on the touch information acquired while the scroll is performed and determining whether to end the scroll, based on the scroll data to control a state of the scroll for the first screen.

An electronic device comprising:

a display module;
at least one processor;
and
memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the electronic device to:
detect a touch down point of a first touch event on a screen of the display module;
identify whether the touch down point of the first touch event is within a first area comprising at least one object selectable by a touch within the screen or a second area without at least one object selected by a touch, wherein the second area is outside of the first area;
in case that the touch down point is within the second area, configure a threshold value a first value;
in case that the touch down point is within the first area, configure the threshold value as a second value that is greater than the first value;
detect a touch movement distance from the touch down point;
and
when the touch movement distance of the first touch event exceeds the threshold value, perform a scroll for the screen.
