Claim Text:
1. An electronic device comprising: a touch panel; a memory; and a processor that is connected to the memory, wherein the processor is configured to calculate a corrected pressure parameter by correcting a parameter of pressure applied by a contact object to the touch panel based on a parameter of a contact area of the contact object on the touch panel, and is configured to determine whether a predetermined operation is performed based on the corrected pressure parameter and a threshold, wherein the parameter of the contact area is a long diameter of a contact region of the contact object on the touch panel, and the processor is configured to calculate the corrected pressure parameter by reducing the parameter of the pressure as the long diameter increases, wherein the processor is configured to multiply press pressure received from a press pressure detector by an inverse of the parameter of the contact area received from a touch region detector to calculate the corrected pressure parameter.
