Electronic device including display including touch circuit that processes contact of external object

An electronic device comprising:

• a display panel including a touch-sensitive area;
• touch circuitry including control circuitry, and a touch sensor, the touch sensor including a plurality of nodes in the touch-sensitive area;
• memory comprising one or more storage media storing instructions;
• and
• at least one processor comprising processing circuitry,
• wherein the control circuitry (333) is configured to:
• based at least in part on an external object at least partially contacting the area, respectively obtain values via the nodes, wherein the values include a peak value;
• based on the values, obtain first data indicating a partial area of the touch-sensitive area including a representative location of the contact of the external object;
• based on the values, obtain second data indicating at least a portion of the nodes obtaining values within a reference range according to the contact of the external object;
• and
• provide, to the at least one processor, the first data and the second data, and
• wherein the instructions, when executed by the at least one processor individually and/or collectively, cause the electronic device to:
• based on the second data satisfying a reference condition, compare the peak value with a first threshold value, for determining whether to recognize the first data as a touch input on the area;
• based on the second data not satisfying the reference condition, compare the peak value with a second threshold value smaller than the first threshold value, for determining whether recognize the first data as a touch input on the area.
