Abstract
An electronic device for processing an input and a method therefor are provided. The electronic device includes a cover window, a display disposed under the cover window, a touch panel including one or more touch sensing elements disposed in a region corresponding to the display, the touch panel configured to generate at least one of a touch signal or a proximity signal by using the one or more touch sensing elements, at least one processor operationally connected to the display and the touch panel, and a memory operationally connected to the at least one processor. The memory may store instructions which, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to, identify a first touch input in a first region on the cover window, corresponding to the display, by using the touch signal generated by the touch sensor, identify a first proximity input in a second region on the cover window, surrounding the display, by using the proximity signal generated by the touch sensor, determine whether a designated input determination condition is satisfied, based on the first touch input and the first proximity input, select one of the touch input in the first region cor…
