Abstract
Disclosed is an electronic device including a housing, a display panel which is viewable via a part of the housing, and is configured to detect an input by a stylus pen, a processor operatively connected to the display panel, and a memory operatively connected to the processor, wherein the memory is configured to store instructions which, when executed, enable the processor to receive a signal from the stylus pen via the display panel, determine a strength of the signal, a first phase of the signal, and a location of an input by the stylus pen based on at least the received signal, and adjust a threshold value used for determining a type of an input by the stylus pen based on at least the first phase.
Claims20
An electronic device, comprising:
- a housing;
- a display panel which is viewable via a part of the housing, and is configured to detect an input by a stylus pen;
- a memory storing instructions;
- and
- a processor operatively connected to the display panel and the memory, and is configured to execute the stored instructions to:
- receive a signal from the stylus pen via the display panel;
- identify a strength of the signal, a first phase of the signal, and a location of an input by the stylus pen based on at least the received signal;
- and
- adjust a threshold value used for determining a type of an input by the stylus pen based on at least the first phase.
An electronic device, comprising:
- a display;
- a sensor circuitry;
- at least one memory storing instructions;
- and
- at least one processor operatively coupled to the display, the sensor circuitry, and the at least one memory,
- wherein, when executing the instructions, the at least one processor is configured to:
- obtain data associated with a relative location between the display and a stylus based on a signal received via the display from the stylus spaced apart from the display;
- identify that the data falls within a designated range;
- and
- adjust a threshold value for determining whether to recognize an input by the stylus as a touch input to the display or a hovering input to the display based on the signal, in response to the identifying.
