Method for operation of pen function and electronic device supporting the same
First Claim
1. A pen function method comprising:
- collecting information, by a control unit, comprising;
pen status information including;
information regarding an arrangement state between a pen recognition panel of a terminal that recognizes proximity of a touch pen, and recognizes the touch pen and a state information on whether a actuator of the touch pen activated, application type information on a currently activated application program, and a gesture recognition information according to a gesture input operation of the touch pen;
identifying a pen function command corresponding to the collected information by accessing associated information in storage; and
performing a function corresponding to the identified pen function command,wherein accessing of associated information in storage comprises accessing pen function table in the storage which maps the pen function command with the pen status information, the application type information and the gesture recognition information.

Abstract
An apparatus and method for operation of a pen function in an electronic device. A pen recognition panel recognizes a touch pen according to a set mode. A control unit collects pen status information including at least one of information on an arrangement state between a pen recognition panel and a touch pen and a state information on whether a button of the touch pen is pushed, type information on a currently activated application program, and a gesture recognition information according to a gesture input operation of the touch pen, or collects the pen status information and the gesture recognition information. A storage unit stores a pen function table providing a pen function command corresponding to collected information according to the set mode, and a display panel displays information according to performing of a function corresponding to the pen function command.
