Abstract
A method of detecting a touch input and controlling an electronic device based on the touch input is provided. The method of includes displaying a user interface through a touchscreen display; detecting a first touch input with a pressure lower than a first threshold via a first region of the display and performing a first action, detecting a second touch input with a pressure lower than a second threshold via a second region of the display adjacent to a periphery of the display and performing a second action, detecting a third touch input with a pressure greater than the first threshold via the first region of the display and performing a third action, and detecting a fourth touch input with a pressure greater than the second threshold via the second region and performing a generic fourth action associated with the electronic device.
