The swipe operation may be, for example, an operation of sliding a finger in a predetermined direction by placing a finger on the touch screen display. In response to the swipe operation, a user interface different from the user interface before the user input is input may be provided to the user through the display 260.

The third section may be, for example, a section in which the number of times the user uses a user input related to a specific gesture is high.

The processor 220 may adjust, for example, a property of the feedback output in response to a user input based on the identified section. The processor 220 may output feedback based on the adjusted attribute. The processor 220 may adjust the feedback attribute to be greater than the first attribute value based on the identified interval being the first interval. The processor 220 may adjust the feedback attribute to be smaller than the first attribute value and larger than the second attribute value based on the identified interval being the second interval. Based on the identified section being the third section, the processor 220 may adjust the feedback property to be smaller than the second property value and larger than the third property value.

When the feedback is haptic feedback, the property may be, for example, at least one of the magnitude or length of the vibration.

In an embodiment, the feedback may be acoustic feedback. When the feedback is acoustic feedback, when the feedback is output, the user may sense sound from the electronic device. When the feedback is acoustic feedback, the electronic device adjusts the property of the feedback based on the identified section using, for example, an audio module (eg, the audio module 170 of FIG. 1), and adjusts the property of the adjusted feedback. Based on this, feedback may be output through the sound output device (eg, the sound output device 155 of FIG. 1 ). When the feedback is acoustic feedback, the property may be, for example, at least one of a loudness or a length.

The property of the feedback corresponding to the second section may be greater than the property of the feedback corresponding to the third section.

In an embodiment, the processor 220 may identify a property of the haptic feedback output in response to a user input last input to the electronic device during the use period.

The processor 220 may, for example, determine the attribute of the feedback output in response to the user input input after the end of the unused section, of the haptic feedback output in response to the user input last input to the electronic device during the use section. Can be adjusted to be larger than the property.

In an embodiment, the processor 220 may identify that the user input is input to the electronic device for the nth time during the usage period, and may identify a parameter related to the user input.

The processor 220 may, for example, identify an expected section corresponding to the parameter. Depending on the type of parameter, a threshold value used to identify an expected section may be defined differently from each other. The predicted section and the n-based section are identical to each other, but a threshold value used to identify the expected section and a threshold value used to identify the n-based section may be different from each other.

The processor 220 may update the section as a result of comparing the section based on n and the expected section based on priority, for example. For example, the first section may have priority over the second section and the third section, and the second section may have priority over the third section. The processor 220 may adjust the property of the feedback based on the updated section.
