Abstract: A method of operating an electronic device is provided. The method includes determining whether a specific event has occurred, when the specific event has occurred, determining whether a battery level is less than a set level, and when the battery level is less than the set level, changing a path of an electric current introduced from a power supply from a first path to a second path.

Abstract: An electronic device including an antenna device with an integrated sensor is provided. In an embodiment, first and second antenna radiators are operably connected. A communication module transmits or receive communication signals through the first and/or second antenna radiator. A separation circuit such as a series connected inductor is connected in a path between the first and second antenna radiators. The separation circuit prevents passage of the communication signals through the path while enabling passage of a sensing signal acquired through the first and second antenna radiators. A sensor module such as a proximity sensor receives the sensing signal acquired through the first and second antenna radiators. A processor controls a function of the electronic device based on the sensing signal.

Abstract: A method of providing an input interface for a portable terminal is provided. The method includes capturing an input tool located on a rear of the portable terminal, wherein an input interface is displayed on the portable terminal, displaying the input tool on the input interface, and processing an input corresponding to an input unit based on a motion of the input tool relative to the input unit of the input interface.

Abstract: A method for detecting an input in an electronic device is provided. The method includes detecting a non-contact proximity input by an input unit at a plurality of points on a screen that is functionally connected to the electronic device, calculating a change in distance from the input unit in response to movement detected by the input unit, for each of the plurality of detected points, and determining at least one of the plurality of points as an input point by the input unit using the calculated change.

Abstract: An electronic device and a method for controlling the electronic device are provided. The method includes receiving at least one input sound from a user, determining one of a plurality of reference sounds included in a guide track as a device playing sound corresponding to the at least one input sound, and playing the device playing sound.

Abstract: A method of controlling a temperature of a terminal apparatus includes measuring a first temperature of a heat source area where at least one heat source is included in the terminal apparatus, and measuring a second temperature of an external area that is distant from the heat source area; determining a difference between the first temperature and the second temperature; and controlling heat generated from the heat source, based on the difference between the first temperature and the second temperature.

Abstract: An electronic device and an unlocking method in the electronic device are provided. The electronic device includes a display unit configured to display at least one function icon on a lock screen, at least one camera, and a controller configured to recognize a face based on data received from the at least one camera in response to a request for unlocking, to select a function icon to be executed from among the at least one function icon, to perform unlocking based on the facial recognition, and to execute, simultaneously with the unlocking, a function corresponding to the selected function icon.
