Method for sensing touch pressure and digial device using the same

Abstract

The present invention relates to a method for sensing touch pressure on a digital device by using image data sensed by a camera unit. To achieve these objects and other advantages, the present invention provides the method for sensing touch pressure and a digital device using the same, wherein the method comprises obtaining image data sensed by a camera unit of the digital device; obtaining illumination value sensed by a illumination sensor of the digital device; extracting color information of the image data; determining whether a touch input has been performed on the camera unit; and sensing the touch pressure of the touch input based on the extracted color information and the obtained illumination value, if it is determined that the touch input has been performed in the determining step.
