Abstract
A method for operating a software input panel (SIP) is provided for an electronic device having a screen. In the present method, a signal generated corresponding to an operation performed on the electronic device by a user is used for switching types and input modes of the SIP, or for modifying appearances of the SIP. Consequently, a user need not switch the functions of the SIP described above through a SIP menu. As a result, the convenience of operating the SIP can be increased, and the efficiency of using the SIP can also be improved.
