Abstract
An electronic device and method for selecting an area of a content using pressure-sensitive touch technology. An embodiment for selecting an area of content using the pressure-sensitive technology includes displaying a content on a display, sensing user input on a region of the content being displayed, and measuring a level of pressure applied by the user input on the region. Then, in response to the measured level of pressure being a first value, selecting a first range of the content. However, in response to the measured level of pressure being a second value, selecting a second range of the content. Finally, displaying an indication to the selected first range or second range on the display. Selection of the first or second range may be on a basis of an attribute or property of an object in the region, and the selected range may be designated as a geofence area.
