  • Patent number: 10558290
    Abstract: An electronic device and method for recognizing a touch input on the electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a touch panel and a processor. The processor configured to determine the type of an object contacting the touch panel, set, when the object is of a first type, a threshold for touch recognition on the touch panel to a first designated value, set, when the object is of a second type, the threshold to a second designated value, and recognize a touch input by the object on the basis of the threshold set to one of the first designated value and the second designated value.

  • Patent number: 10409404
    Abstract: A method of processing touch events and an electronic device adapted to the method are provided. The electronic device includes: a touch screen; a processor electrically connected to the touch screen; a touch control circuit, electrically connected to the touch screen and the processor, the touch control circuit configured to create a touch event in response to a touch input detected on the touch screen; and a memory electrically connected to the processor. The processor is configured to execute at least one application stored in the memory, to determine attribute information of the executed application, to generate touch area information containing an attribute corresponding to at least part of the area of the touch screen and information regarding at least part of the area of the touch screen, based on the attribute information, and to provide the touch area information to the touch control circuit.

  • Patent number: 9310926
    Abstract: A touch event processing method and a portable device implementing the same is provided for protecting a touch event occurring on a touch screen from hacking. Touch coordinates from a touch panel are first provided to the first operating system. It is then determined whether a function corresponding to the touch coordinates is to execute a security application. If so, a touch event processing right handover message is transmitted from the first operating system to the second, to hand over a right of processing a touch event that occurs on the touch panel to the second operating system.
