Abstract:
Methods of configuring a different authority for a plurality of users to use at least one application in an electronic device. User inputs are received to set passwords for respective user levels, where each user level is associated with a different authority to access applications. The passwords are registered for the respective user levels. At least one application is associated with one of the user levels.
Abstract:
The present invention provides an electronic device, an external input device and a method for connecting the electronic device and the external input device. An electronic device according to various embodiments comprises: a camera module; a communication module, a display, a memory; and a processor electrically connected to the camera module, a communication module, a display and memory, wherein the processor displays, on the display, images comprising a left-eye image and a right-eye image, determines whether or not a connectable external input device is present if an event for the connection with the external input device occurs with respect to the images, displays, on at least one part of the display, external images, obtained by means of the camera module, if a connectable first external input device is present, and can perform connection with the first external input device. Moreover, other embodiments are possible.
Abstract:
An example electronic device calibrates a center of a sensor for acquiring sensing data differently according whether the electronic device is worn on a part of a user body or not, and provides data sensed based on a result of the calibrating to the user, so that more exact and/or accurate data and a better sense of use can be provided to the user.
Abstract:
A method of operating an electronic device is provided. The method includes making a connection to another electronic device and switching to a particular mode, transmitting information on a request for switching to the particular mode to one or more wearable devices, receiving detection information from the wearable devices, and performing a function of the electronic device corresponding to the detection information.
Abstract:
An electronic device comprises a socket having a plurality of connection terminals that accommodates a card-type external device having a corner cut-out portion, a plurality of contact pads exposed on a surface of the card-type external device that are correspondingly connected to the connection terminals in response to insertion of the card-type external device into the socket. A detection unit detects erroneous insertion of the card-type external device into the socket in response to incorrect location of the cut-out portion during the erroneous insertion. A processor outputs a control signal in response to the detected erroneous insertion of the card-type external device.

Abstract:
An electronic device and method are provided for sensing a touch or hovering event, where sensor variations due to environmental temperatures are minimized. The method includes operations for measuring a temperature of a portion of an electronic device, setting a sensing state reference level of a grip sensor according to the measured temperature, and determining a sensing state of an external object for the electronic device according to a result of a comparison between an output level from the grip sensor and the sensing state reference level of the grip sensor.
Abstract:
A method for controlling a function of an electronic device by using an electronic pen and the electronic device are provided. The method of controlling the function of the electronic device includes determining a motion of an electronic pen inserted into the electronic device and confirming an operation corresponding to the determined motion of the electronic pen to perform the operation.
