1. An electronic device, comprising:
- at least one temperature sensor for detecting a touch operation on a surface of the temperature sensor from an object, and detecting information of the touch operation;
a storage system for storing predetermined information, wherein the predetermined information comprises predetermined standards for determining if any touch operation on the surface of the temperature sensor is a valid touch operation, and a command corresponding to the valid touch operation; and
at least one processor that analyzes detected information from the temperature sensor, compares the detected information with the predetermined standards to determine if the touch operation is a valid touch operation, and executes the command to activate a corresponding action of the electronic device, in response to a determination that the touch operation is a valid touch operation.

Abstract
An electronic device having a temperature sensor is provided. The temperature sensor detects information of a touch operation from an object on a surface of the temperature sensor, determines if the touch operation is valid by determining if the detected information meet preset standards, and executes a corresponding command to activate an action of the electronic device, in response to a determination that the touch operation is valid.
