1. An electronic device, comprising:
- a touch screen configured to receive at least one of a touch input or a pen input; and
at least one processor configured to operate in a first input mode based on a the touch input inputted by a finger of a user or a second input mode based on the pen input inputted by an electronic pen,whereinthe at least one processor is configured to;
execute the second input mode,receive the touch input in the second input mode,identify whether the electronic pen is detected in the second input mode,in response to identifying that the electronic pen is detected in the second input mode;
determine whether the touch input is a predetermined input of the second input mode,perform, when the touch input is the predetermined input, a predetermined function corresponding to the touch input, wherein the predetermined function is different from a function corresponding to the touch input in the first input mode, andin response to identifying that the electronic pen is not detected in the second input mode, perform the function corresponding to the touch input in the first input mode.

Abstract
An electronic device, and a method of an electronic device, are provided. The method includes entering a first input mode that receives input with a first input means and a second input mode that receives input with a second input means; receiving a touch input from the first input means; and performing a predetermined function corresponding to the touch input. The function corresponding to the touch input is different based on whether the electronic device is in the first input mode or the second input mode.

3. A method of operating an electronic device, the method comprising:
-
executing a second input mode between a first input mode based on a touch input inputted by a finger of a user and the second input mode based on a pen input inputted by an electronic pen; receiving the touch input in the second input mode; identifying whether the electronic pen is detected in the second input mode, in response to identifying that the electronic pen is detected in the second input mode; determining whether the touch input is a predetermined input of the second input mode; and performing, when the touch input is the predetermined input, a predetermined function corresponding to the touch input, wherein the predetermined function is different from a function corresponding to the touch input in the first input mode; and in response to identifying that the electronic pen is not detected in the second input mode, performing the function corresponding to the touch input in the first input mode. - View Dependent Claims (4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13)
