  • Publication number: 20260153941
    Abstract: An electronic device includes a first button, a second button, at least one processor, comprising processing circuitry, a pressure sensor configured to provide a first signal to the at least one processor, a piezo actuator configured to output a vibration via the first button, and memory storing instructions. The instructions, when executed by at least one processor individually or collectively, cause the electronic device to: based on receiving a second signal from the piezo actuator, while the first signal is not provided to the at least one processor from the pressure sensor, detect a malfunction associated with the first button, and based on the malfunction associated with the first button, in response to the second signal and a third signal indicating a pressure on the second button being maintained during reference time, execute a function allocated to a combination of the pressure on the first button and a pressure on the second button.

  • Publication number: 20260037202
    Abstract: An electronic device can obtain an input for displaying content. The electronic device can identify a right to use the content through information about the right to use the content on the basis of obtaining the input for displaying the content. The electronic device, in response to identifying that the right to use the content exists, can control a PMIC to supply power to a second display to display the content. The electronic device can control the second display to display the content through the second display while the power is being supplied. The electronic device can control the PMIC to stop supplying power to the second display on the basis of the content being displayed on the second display.

  • Publication number: 20250390125
    Abstract: A processor of an electronic device identifies an event for regulating the driving state of a component connected to one of a plurality of regulating circuits. The processor controls a power management integrated circuit (PMIC) to increase the voltage of a power signal in response to the current for driving the component increasing due to the event. The processor controls the PMIC to decrease the voltage of the power signal in response to the current for driving the component decreasing due to the event.
