  • Publication number: 20190310737
    Abstract: Electronic devices and electronic device operating methods according to various embodiments may comprise: a housing; a display; a touch sensor; a pen sensor; a pressure sensor; and a processor. The processor: senses the pressure of an external object on the display using the pressure sensor; senses a touch position of the external object using the touch sensor when the external object includes a conductor; senses the touch position of the external object using the pen sensor when the external object is a stylus pen configured to be capable of transmitting an electromagnetic signal to the pen sensor; senses the touch position of the external object using the pressure sensor when the external object cannot be sensed by the touch sensor and/or the pen sensor; and can perform at least one function on the basis of at least in part the touch position sensed by the touch sensor, the pen sensor and/or the pressure sensor, and the pressure sensed by the pressure sensor.
