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.
