  • Publication number: 20230168793
    Abstract: An electronic device includes a display and a processor. The processor detects movement of an input using a digital pen on the display, determines whether the movement of the input using the digital pen occurs in a hinge area of the display, and determines whether the input using the digital pen needs correcting when it is determined that the movement occurs in the hinge area. The processor identifies an intensity of the input using the digital pen when it is determined that the input needs correcting, identifies a position of the input using the digital pen and a position at which hovering about the input occurs, and corrects a coordinate of the input by using the coordinate of the input of which the intensity is identified and a coordinate of the position at which the hovering occurs.
