Abstract
Disclosed is an electronic device for sensing a fingerprint, including a display including at least one sensor for sensing the fingerprint, a memory, and at least one processor electrically connected with the display and the memory, wherein the processor may execute an application and display the application on the display, sense a first fingerprint inputted to at least one first region of the application displayed on the display, map the sensed first fingerprint to a function corresponding to the first region, determine whether the first fingerprint is sensed on the application, and if the first fingerprint is sensed on the display, apply the mapped function to the display.
