  • Publication number: 20160253041
    Abstract: An electronic device including a touch module is provided. The electronic device may include an external housing including a transparent plate forming a front surface of the electronic device; a display panel, at least part of which is exposed through the transparent plate; a touch panel adjacent the display panel; a memory; and a processor operably coupled to the memory. The memory may store instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to: receive first data including an input sensed by a first sensor of a first type through the touch panel, and receive second data including an input sensed by a second sensor of a second type through the touch panel. The processor may compare the first data with the second data to generate a comparison result, and determine whether an object detected using at least one of the first or second sensors is a foreign object in direct contact with the transparent plate, based on at least part of the comparison result.
