Abstract: An electronic apparatus includes a memory that stores a specified criterion for classifying a type of a touch region according to an assigned function, and a processor that classifies at least one touch region as belonging to a palm region for assigning a first function or to a pen region for assigning a second function based on the specified criterion if a touch to a touch panel is detected, issues an individual identifier (ID) for the pen region, and issues a group ID after performing grouping for the palm region.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are a display apparatus capable of accomplishing common use of instrument and being repaired by installing a touch panel driving board on the outer side of the display apparatus. A display apparatus comprising a display module comprising a display panel configured to display an image, a panel disposed in front of the display module, a first cover disposed behind the display module, and a panel driving board configured to drive the panel, and disposed to be exposed outside of the first cover.

Abstract: A data input device, an electronic device using the data input device, and an operation method based on the data input device and the electronic device are provided. The data input device for effectively changing a color of data to be input to the electronic device includes a color changer configured to change a color of data to be input to the electronic device, a communicator configured to communicate with the electronic device, and a controller configured to receive an output signal from the color changer, to convert the received output signal into color identification information, and to control the communicator to transmit the converted color identification information to the electronic device.

Abstract: A display apparatus and an input method of the display apparatus are provided. The display apparatus includes a bottom chassis, and a display panel disposed above the bottom chassis, the display panel including an active area configured to display a control menu, and a black mask area surrounding the active area. The display apparatus further includes a light source configured to irradiate light, an optical member configured to cause the irradiated light to be incident on the display panel, and a middle frame disposed on the optical member and configured to support the display panel. The display apparatus further includes a sensor disposed between the middle frame and the display panel, and configured to sense a user input.

Abstract: A method of guiding a gesture in an electronic device is provided. The method includes sensing a gesture input via an input tool on a screen; predicting a first proceeding direction of the gesture based on information about the gesture; determining a first guide object corresponding to the predicted first proceeding direction; predicting a second proceeding direction of the gesture based on information about a changed gesture when a proceeding direction of the gesture is changed; and determining a second guide object different from the first guide object and corresponding to the predicted second proceeding direction.
