Abstract: A method for enabling interaction on an electronic device using fingerprint on display to execute an operation of the electronic device based on the detected fingerprint. The method may includes detecting at least one fingerprint from at least one touch input on a display screen, identifying an object corresponding to the at least one fingerprint, and performing at least one actions based on the object.

Abstract: A method of performing a touch action in a touch-sensitive device is provided. The method includes detecting a shape of a contact area associated with a touch input provided on a touch screen, determining whether the detected shape is valid based on a predetermined criteria, detecting a gesture based on a movement of a validated shape, determining whether the detected gesture is valid by matching the detected gesture with one or more predefined gestures, and performing the touch action based on a determination that the detected gesture is valid and a determination that the detected shape is valid.
