Electronic device for reducing occurrence of unintended user input and operation method for the same

An electronic device comprising:

• a foldable housing comprising
• a hinge,
• a first housing connected to the hinge and comprising a first surface facing a first direction and a second surface facing a second direction opposite the first direction, and
• a second housing connected to the hinge, comprising a third surface facing a third direction and a fourth surface facing a fourth direction opposite the third direction, and configured to be foldable with respect to the first housing about the hinge structure,
• wherein the first surface faces the third surface in a folded state of the electronic device;
• a first display extending from the first surface to the third surface to provide the first surface and the third surface and comprising a first touch controller configured to control a receiving function of an input on the first display;
• a second display providing the second surface or the fourth surface and comprising a second touch controller configured to control a receiving function of an input on the second display;
• a processor disposed inside the first housing or second housing and operatively coupled to the first display and the second display;
• and
• a memory operatively connected to the processor,
• wherein the memory is configured to store instructions that, when executed, cause the processor to control the electronic device to:
• detect changing of an angle between the first housing and the second housing;
• identify the characteristics of the input in response to detecting the change of the angle;
• and
• determine whether to cancel the touch event corresponding to the input based on the characteristics of the input.

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

• detecting whether an event of changing an angle between a first housing connected to a hinge and including a first surface facing a first direction and a second surface facing a second direction opposite the first direction, and a second housing connected to the hinge and including a third surface facing a third direction and a fourth surface facing a fourth direction opposite the third direction, the second housing configured to be foldable with respect to the first housing about the hinge, occurs;
• receiving a touch interrupt produced based on input on a display;
• identifying characteristics of the input in response to detecting a change in the angle;
• and
• determining whether to cancel the touch event corresponding to the input based on the characteristics of the user input.
