A method of processing an input in an electronic device having a touch screen divided into predetermined regions, the method comprising: identifying attribute information of a geometric figure corresponding to an area of a touch input for each of the predetermined regions detected through the touch screen; determining a user input as a normal touch input or a distinctive touch input from the attribute information, based on a stored user input distinction rule; wherein the user input distinction rule comprises a first threshold value associated with a normal touch input and a second threshold value associated with a distinctive touch input, wherein the normal touch input and the distinctive touch input are distinguished in comparison with the first and second threshold values, and the method further comprising executing a function corresponding to the determined user input, wherein the function is dependent on whether the determined user input is normal touch input or distinctive touch input, wherein the method further comprises determining the stored user input distinction rule; wherein the stored user input distinction rule is determined by: collecting attribute information of a geometric figure corresponding to an area of a touch input determined as a first user input and attribute information of a geometric figure corresponding to an area of a touch input determined as a second user input; and determining the user input distinction rule differently according to the predetermined regions based on the collected attribute information. identifying attribute information of a geometric figure corresponding to an area of a touch input for each of the predetermined regions detected through the touch screen; determining a user input as a normal touch input or a distinctive touch input from the attribute information, based on a stored user input distinction rule; wherein the user input distinction rule comprises a first threshold value associated with a normal touch input and a second threshold value associated with a distinctive touch input, wherein the normal touch input and the distinctive touch input are distinguished in comparison with the first and second threshold values, and the method further comprising executing a function corresponding to the determined user input, wherein the function is dependent on whether the determined user input is normal touch input or distinctive touch input, wherein the method further comprises determining the stored user input distinction rule; wherein the stored user input distinction rule is determined by: collecting attribute information of a geometric figure corresponding to an area of a touch input determined as a first user input and attribute information of a geometric figure corresponding to an area of a touch input determined as a second user input; and determining the user input distinction rule differently according to the predetermined regions based on the collected attribute information. collecting attribute information of a geometric figure corresponding to an area of a touch input determined as a first user input and attribute information of a geometric figure corresponding to an area of a touch input determined as a second user input; and determining the user input distinction rule differently according to the predetermined regions based on the collected attribute information.
