Claim 0:
1. An electronic device comprising:
a display including a first area and a second area;
a first sensor and a second sensor disposed on at least a part of a surface opposite to the display including the first area and the second area or a side surface adjacent to the surface, each of the first sensor and the second sensor configured to detect a grip; and
at least one processor operatively connected to the display, the first sensor, and the second sensor, and configured to:
identify at least one of the first sensor or the second sensor which has detected a grip,
perform 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,
receive a touch input on the defined partial area, and
convert the touch input to a touch input targeting the entire area of the display including the first area and the second area.
