Claim 10:
11. A method of operating an electronic device, the method comprising:
identifying one of a first sensor or a second sensor which has detected a grip based on a sensor value change in one of the first sensor and the second sensor disposed oppositely on at least a part of or an adjacent side surface corresponding to a first area and a second area of a display including the first area and the second area;
performing a one handed operation mode in response to the detecting of the grip by the identified sensor without a separate user operation, to define a partial input area of the first area or the second area corresponding to a position of the identified sensor for receiving a touch input, wherein in the one handed operation mode the first area or the second area is defined as the partial input area for receiving inputs for an entire area of the display including the first area and the second area;
receiving a touch input on the defined partial area; and
converting to a touch input targeting the entire area of the display including the first area and the second area.
