Abstract: An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a touchscreen display, a pressure sensor positioned to sense external pressure against the display, a fingerprint sensor positioned to detect a fingerprint on at least a portion of the display, a processor electrically coupled to the display, the pressure sensor, and the fingerprint sensor, and a memory electrically coupled to the processor, in which the memory stores at least one registered fingerprint. The processor is configured to sense pressure of a user's finger against the display using the pressure sensor, upon sensing of the pressure, activate the fingerprint sensor, detect a fingerprint of the finger using the fingerprint sensor, determine whether the detected fingerprint is matched with any of the at least one registered fingerprint, and perform a preselected function without further requiring authentication, when the detected fingerprint is matched with any of the at least one registered fingerprint.

Abstract: A user terminal apparatus is provided. The user terminal apparatus includes a display consisting of a main display area disposed on a front side of the user terminal apparatus and a sub display area extended from one side of the main display area to be disposed on at least one area of a rear side of the user terminal apparatus, and a processor configured to provide a lock screen to a display area of at least one of the main display area and the sub display area and, in response to a user input of releasing the lock screen being sensed, control the display to provide a different home screen based on a display area where the user input is sensed.

Abstract: An electronic device and method are disclosed herein. The electronic device includes a display, an input module, and a processor. The processor executes the method, including displaying a group icon representing a plurality of icons associated with a plurality of applications in a display, setting a function associated with at least two applications of the plurality of applications for execution in response to a specified user input to the group icon, and executing the at least two applications and the set function in response to detecting the specified user input associated with the group icon.

Abstract: An electronic device is disclosed which includes a housing including a first surface facing in a first direction and a second surface facing in a second direction that is opposite to the first direction, a display disposed between the first surface and the second surface, at least a part of the display being exposed through the first surface, a pressure sensor disposed between the display and the second surface and detecting pressure of an external object applied on the display, and a processor electrically connected with the display and the pressure sensor. If a touch input of a specified pressure intensity or more is made by the external object in any region on the display, the processor activates at least one virtual function key operating in common with respect to any screens to be displayed in the display.
