Electronic device acquiring user input when in submerged state by using pressure sensor, and method for controlling electronic device

Abstract

According to various embodiments, disclosed is an electronic device comprising at least one sensor, a display comprising a touch panel, at least one pressure sensor disposed in the upper or lower layer of the touch panel such that pressure applied to at least a part of a region of the display can be sensed, and at least one processor, wherein the at least one processor is configured so as to: sense whether the electronic device is in a submerged state by using the at least one sensor or the display, receive a user input with respect to the at least a part of a region of the display while the electronic device is sensed to be in the submerged state, acquire the pressure and the position of the user input by using the at least one pressure sensor, and process the user input on the basis of the acquired pressure and the acquired position. Additional various embodiments identified through the specification are possible.
