Electronic device and method for processing hovering input thereof
First Claim
1. A method of processing an input of an electronic device, comprising:
- displaying a screen;
when at least two hovering inputs are sensed, analyzing a priority of the at least two hovering inputs based on a moving path of the at least two hovering inputs; and
determining a position of a hovering pointer from a location of a hovering input having a highest priority among the at least two hovering inputs.

Abstract
An electronic device and a method for processing a hovering input are provided. The method includes displaying a screen; when a hovering input is sensed, detecting a location of the sensed hovering input; analyzing a priority of the hovering input; and determining a position of a hovering pointer from the location of the hovering input having the highest priority. The electronic device includes a touch screen configured to display thereon a screen and to touch sense a hovering input; and a control unit configured, when the hovering input is sensed from the screen, to detect a location of the sensed hovering input, to analyze a priority of the hovering input, and to determine a position of a hovering pointer from the location of the hovering input having a highest priority.
