Classification: CPC G  H | IPC G

Claim 30:
31. An electronic device comprising:
a side unit comprising a non-conductive cover and a conductive frame coupled to the non-conductive cover;
a touch switch unit comprising a first touch member that is a portion of the non-conductive cover and a first force member that is a portion of the frame; and
a touch sensing device comprising:
a first touch sensing unit disposed inside the electronic device and comprising a first sensing electrode and a first sensing coil electrically connected to each other, the first sensing electrode being configured to be disposed to face an inner surface of the first touch member, the first touch sensing unit having a capacitance that changes in response to a human body touching the first touch member according to a parasitic capacitance generated between the first sensing electrode, the first touch member, and the human body by the human body touching the first touch member; and
a first force sensing unit comprising the first sensing coil, the first sensing coil being spaced apart from an inner surface of the first touch member by a gap, the first sensing coil having an inductance that changes in response to a human body pressing the first force member according to a change in the gap between the first sensing coil and the inner surface of the first force member caused by the human body pressing the first force member,
wherein the first sensing coil is disposed on a surface inside the electronic device different than another surface inside the electronic device on which the first sensing iectrode is disposed.
