ELECTRONIC DEVICE, AND METHOD FOR IMPROVING MOVEMENT OPERATION OF OBJECT

An electronic device according to various embodiments comprises: a touch screen display; a memory; and a processor connected to the touch screen display and the memory, wherein the processor may: detect a long press input in response to a set first touch time (T1) elapsing from a first touch for selecting an object displayed on the touch screen display; after the long press input is received, receive a drag signal for moving the first touch in any direction; when the drag signal does not deviate from any of a drag movement time (T2) and a drag movement distance (D1) that are set, maintain the selected object in a fixed state; when the drag signal deviates from both the drag movement time (T2) and the drag movement distance (D1), change the object selected by the first touch to a floating state from a time point of the deviation from both the drag movement time (T2) and the drag movement distance (D1); and perform control such that a drag movement of the floating object starts in response to the drag signal.
