FUNCTION EXECUTION METHOD BASED ON A USER INPUT, AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE THEREOF

摘要

Provided is a method and apparatus for executing a function based on a user input. The method of executing a function in an electronic device includes: sensing a user input for selecting an object in a first area; recognizing a surface pattern of an input unit used for providing a user input in a third area when the user input is sensed in the third area; and executing a related function, based on a surface pattern recognition result in the third area when the user input of the first area and the user input of the third area are associated with each other. Accordingly, a function desired by a user may be readily executed.
