Abstract
According to an embodiment, an electronic device comprises a housing, a display including at least one region corresponding to at least one surface of the housing, a touch sensor for detecting a touch input on the at least one region, a first processor operably coupled to the touch sensor, and a second processor operably coupled to the display, the touch sensor, and the first processor, wherein the first processor is configured to detect first position information of an external object touching the at least one region and first energy information related to a contact surface of the external object, based on a capacitance measured from the touch sensor at a first time point, detect second position information of the external object which touches the at least one region and second energy information related to the contact surface of the external object, based on a capacitance measured from the touch sensor at a second time point which comes after the first time point, and transmit a signal to the second processor, wherein the signal is based on at least one of the first position information, the second position information, the first energy information, and the second energy informat…
