Abstract
An electronic device for sensing touch force is provided. The electronic device includes a display screen, a pressure sensor, a processor and a memory. The pressure sensor senses at least one touch force in a direction that is perpendicular to a plane of the display screen and generates at least one sensing signal responsive to the at least one touch force. The processor is coupled to the pressure sensor and the display screen. The memory is operatively coupled to the processor. The processor is configured to execute program code stored in the memory by: generating a control signal corresponding to the at least one sensing signal; and performing an operation according to the control signal.
