Touch module, electronic device including the same, and operation method thereof

A method for operating an electronic device, the method comprising:

• receiving first data including an input sensed by a first sensor of a first type through a touch panel;
• receiving second data including an input sensed by a second sensor of a second type through the touch panel;
• comparing the first data with the second data to generate a comparison result;
• and
• determining whether an object detected using at least one of the first or second sensors is a foreign object in direct contact with a front surface of the electronic device, based on at least part of the comparison result.

A touch module, comprising:

• a touch panel;
• a buffer;
• and
• a touch control module configured to electrically connect with the buffer and the touch panel,
• wherein the buffer stores instructions set such that the touch control module receives first data including an input sensed by a first sensor of a first type through the touch panel, receives second data including an input sensed by a second sensor of a second type through the touch panel, compares the first data with the second data to generate a comparison result, and determines whether an object is in direct contact with the touch panel, whether the object is proximate the touch panel within a prescribed distance thereof or is not in contact with the touch panel, or whether fluids are in contact with the touch panel, based on at least part of the comparison result.
