Abstract
An electronic device is provided and includes a camera, a display, and a processor. The processor may be configured to control the display to display a second image determined based on a posture of the electronic device from a first image obtained using the camera, detect a finger object from the second image, identify a first virtual key corresponding to the finger object from a virtual keyboard based on a position and a degree of bending of the finger object, and identify an input of the first virtual key based on detecting a typing movement of the finger object. Other embodiments may also be possible.
