1. A method for operating an electronic device, the method comprising:
- displaying a screen on which at least one application is executed;
determining, based on information regarding the at least one application, a state of the displayed screen;
determining, among reference states stored in the electronic device, a reference state corresponding to the determined state of the displayed screen, the reference state including information regarding an area capable of receiving a hovering input;
determining the area capable of receiving the hovering input in an entire area of the displayed screen as a first area;
determining an area other than the first area in the entire area of the displayed screen as a second area; and
adjusting a detection sensitivity of the determined first area to be greater than a detection sensitivity of the determined second area.

23. A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium that stores a program which, when executed by a computer, performs a method comprising:
-
displaying a screen on which at least one application is executed; determining, based on information regarding the at least one application, a state of the displayed screen; determining, among reference states stored in the electronic device, a reference state corresponding to the determined state of the displayed screen, the reference state including information regarding an area capable of receiving a hovering input; determining the area capable of receiving the hovering input in an entire area of the displayed screen as a first area; determining an area other than the first area in the entire area of the displayed screen as a second area; and adjusting a detection sensitivity of the determined identified-first area to be greater than a detection sensitivity of the determined second area.
