Electronic device and method for controlling thereof

Electronic device in accordance with various embodiments of the present invention includes a touch screen. And a proximity sensor that overlaps with a partial region of the touch screen. Using the touch screen with the proximity sensor detects the proximity of an object located in the upper portion of the touch screen, and changing the close-up sensitivity of the overlapping area of ​​the touch screen, wherein the close-up sensitivity is changed so as to sense the position of the object and a processor set. An electronic device in accordance with various embodiments of the present invention, includes a first surface and a housing including a second surface facing the first surface and the opposite direction. It includes a display exposed through the first surface. As a touch panel disposed between the display and the second surface, to the touch panel based on a change in capacitance formed between a first electrode and a, comprising a second electrode the first electrode and the second electrode, and a touch panel for calculating the plane coordinates of the user input to the display, and includes a third electrode and a fourth electrode based on the change of the capacitance formed between the third electrode and the fourth electrode, wherein the housing in comprises a capacitive sensor for proximity measure between the first surface and the external object. The other can be other embodiments.
