METHOD OF SENSING PRESSURE BY TOUCH SENSOR AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE ADAPTED THERETO

摘要

A method of providing pressure and an electronic device adapted thereto is provided. The electronic device includes a display, a touch panel with a number of electrodes, placed on the display, a processor electrically connected to the display and the touch panel, and a memory electrically connected to the processor. The memory stores instructions which enable the processor to receive a user input applied to at least part of the touch panel, add changes in capacitance formed among at least part of the electrodes, in response to the user input, and determine a level of pressure of the user input against the touch panel, based on a sum of capacitance changes. Various embodiments are provided.
