Method and apparatus for differentiating between grip touch events and touch input events on a multiple display device
First Claim
1. An electronic device comprising:
- a housing including a first surface oriented in a first direction, and a second surface extending from the edge of the first surface in a second direction different from the first direction and being narrower than the first surface;
a touchscreen display including a touch panel, and having a first section exposed through the first surface and a second section exposed through the second surface;
a processor electrically connected with the touchscreen display; and
a memory electrically connected with the processor,wherein the memory stores instructions that cause, when executed, the processor to;
activate the touch panel,detect a first touch event on the second section of the touchscreen display,temporarily store the first touch event,detect a second touch event on the first section or the second section after detection of the first touch event,if the second touch event is detected on the first section, remove the first touch event, and perform a function according to the second touch event,if the second touch event is detected on the second section, temporarily store the second touch event after removing the first touch event,perform a function according to the second touch event and a third touch event in response to detecting the third touch event within a preset time after detection of the second touch event, andremove the second touch event and the third touch event in response to detecting the third touch event after the preset time after detection of the second touch event.

Abstract
An electronic device capable of touch event processing is provided. The electronic device includes first and second surfaces oriented in different directions, the second surface being narrower than the first surface, a touchscreen display including a touch panel, and having a first section exposed through the first surface and a second section exposed through the second surface, a processor electrically connected with the touchscreen display, and a memory that stores instructions that cause, when executed, the processor to activate the touch panel, to detect a first touch event on one of the first section and the second section, to detect a second touch event on the other section after detection of the first touch event, to remove one of the first touch event and the second touch event, and to perform a function according at least partly to the remaining touch event.

9. An electronic device comprising:
-
a housing that includes a first surface oriented in a first direction, and a second surface extending from the edge of the first surface in a second direction different from the first direction and being narrower than the first surface; a touchscreen display including a touch panel, and having a first section exposed through the first surface and a second section exposed through the second surface; a processor electrically connected with the touchscreen display; and a memory electrically connected with the processor, wherein the memory stores instructions that cause, when executed, the processor to; activate the touch panel, to detect a first touch event on a first region of the second section of the touchscreen display, detect a second touch event on a second region of the second section different from the first region after detection of the first touch event, determine if an occurrence time between the detection of the first touch event and the detection of the second touch event is less than a predetermined threshold, use the first touch event while deleting the second touch event if it is determined that the occurrence time between the detection of the first touch event and the detection of the second touch event is not less than the predetermined threshold, and use the second touch event while deleting the first touch event if it is determined that the occurrence time between the detection of the first touch event and the detection of the second touch event is less than the predetermined threshold. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11)

12. A method of touch event processing in an electronic device, the method comprising:
-
activating a touch screen display; detecting a first touch event on a second section of the touchscreen display; temporarily storing the first touch event; detecting a second touch event on a first section or the second section of the touch screen display after detection of the first touch event; if the second touch event is detected on the first section, removing the first touch event, and performing a function according to the second touch event; if the second touch event is detected on the second section, temporarily storing the second touch event after removing the first touch event; performing a function according to the second touch event and a third touch event in response to detecting the third touch event within a preset time after detection of the second touch event; and removing the second touch event and the third touch event in response to detecting the third touch event after the preset time after detection of the second touch event. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
