Abstract
Disclosed are a method and electronic device for executing a function. The method includes detecting a removal of an electronic pen from the electronic device by using a plurality of detection sensors, determining a time interval based on a first time of an inactivity release signal detected by a first detection sensor among the plurality of detection sensors, or a second time of the inactivity release signal detected by a second detection sensor among the plurality of detection sensors corresponding to the removal of the electronic pen, and executing at least one function related to a script input using the electronic pen if the time interval is less than a critical value.
Claims14
A method for executing a function in an electronic device, the method comprising:
- detecting a removal of an electronic pen from the electronic device by using a plurality of detection sensors;
- determining a time interval based on a first time of an inactivity release signal detected by a first detection sensor among the plurality of detection sensors, or a second time of the inactivity release signal detected by a second detection sensor among the plurality of detection sensors corresponding to the removal of the electronic pen;
- and
- executing at least one function related to a script input using the electronic pen if the time interval is less than a critical value.
An electronic device comprising:
- a sensor unit configured to include a plurality of detection sensors and to measure a time interval required for removing an electronic pen from the electronic device based on the plurality of detection sensors;
- and
- a control unit configured to detect removal of the electronic pen from the electronic device through the sensor unit, to determine a time interval based on a first time of an inactivity release signal detected by a first detection sensor among the plurality of detection sensors, or a second time of an inactivity release signal detected by a second detection sensor among the plurality of detection sensors corresponding to the removal of the electronic pen from the electronic device, and to execute at least one function related to a script input using the electronic pen if the time interval is less than a critical value.
