in a first mode of the second operation, receive a first touch input via the touchscreen display, determine first coordinates of the first touch input, and adapt the second screen with a first relation in which the first coordinates correspond to coordinates of an entire region of the external display device; and

in a second mode of the second operation, receive a second touch input via the touchscreen display, determine second coordinates of the second touch input, and adapt the second screen with a second relation in which the second coordinates correspond to coordinates of not the entirety but part of the external display device,

wherein, in the first mode of the second operation, an entire region of the touchscreen display is used to receive the first touch input and corresponds to the entire region of the external display device, and

wherein, in the second mode of the second operation, the entire region of the touchscreen display is used to receive the second touch input and corresponds to an entire region of a window of an application executed in a partial region of the external display device.

2. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the instructions allow the processor to switch the first mode to a third mode upon receiving a gesture input via the touchscreen display.

3. The electronic device of claim 2 , wherein the gesture input is provided by using a stylus pen.

4. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the instructions allow the processor to:

display a user interface of a drawing application program at the partial region of the external display device; and

switch the first mode to the second mode.

5. The electronic device of claim 4 , wherein the instructions allow the processor to:

receive a first user input for selecting the second mode via the touchscreen display; and

switch the first mode to the second mode upon receiving the first user input.

6. The electronic device of claim 5 , wherein the instructions allow the processor to:

receive a second user input for selecting the first mode via the touchscreen display; and

switch the second mode to the first mode upon receiving the second user input.

7. The electronic device of claim 1 ,

wherein the housing further comprises a recess to which a stylus pen is detachably inserted, and

wherein the instructions allow the processor to:

determine whether the stylus pen is detached from the recess; and

switch the first mode to the second mode, based in part on the determination.

8. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the instructions allow the processor to:

display a user interface of a drawing application program at the partial region of the external display device;

identify whether to enlarge the user interface to a full screen; and

enlarge the user interface to the full screen, in response to allowing of the enlargement.

9. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the instructions allow the processor to:

display a user interface of a drawing application program at the partial region of the external display device; and

set a partial region of the touchscreen display as an input region, by considering a ratio of a horizontal size and vertical size of the user interface.

10. The electronic device of claim 9 , wherein the instructions allow the processor to display guide information indicating the set input region on the touchscreen display.

11. A method of controlling an input of an electronic device, the method comprising:

displaying a first screen including a plurality of icons indicating a plurality of application programs on a touchscreen display in a first format when the electronic device is not coupled with an external display device; and

rendering a second screen including a plurality of icons in a second format, wherein visual information included in the second screen is not displayed on the touchscreen display when the electronic device is coupled with the external display device, and providing data related to the second screen to the external display device so that the external display device displays the second screen,

wherein the providing of the data related to the second screen to the external display device comprises:

activating a first mode to receive a first touch input via the touchscreen display, determine first coordinates of the first touch input, and adapt the second screen with a first relation in which the first coordinates correspond to coordinates of an entire region of the external display device; or

activating a second mode to receive a second touch input via the touchscreen display, determine second coordinates of the second touch input, and adapt the second screen with a second relation in which the second coordinates correspond to coordinates of not the entirety but part of the external display device,

wherein, in the first mode of the second operation, an entire region of the touchscreen display is used to receive the first touch input and corresponds to the entire region of the external display device, and

wherein, in the second mode of the second operation, the entire region of the touchscreen display is used to receive the second touch input and corresponds to an entire region of a window of an application executed in a partial region of the external display device.

12. The method of claim 11 , further comprising switching the first mode to a third mode upon receiving a gesture input via the touchscreen display.

13. The method of claim 11 , further comprising:

displaying a user interface of a drawing application program at the partial region of the external display device; and

switching the first mode to the second mode.

14. The method of claim 11 , further comprising:

determining whether the stylus pen is detached from a recess constructed at a housing of the electronic device; and

switching the first mode to the second mode, based in part on the determination.

15. The method of claim 11 , further comprising:

displaying a user interface of a drawing application program at the partial region of the external display device;

identifying whether to enlarge the user interface to a full screen; and

enlarging the user interface to a full screen, in response to allowing of the enlargement.

16. The method of claim 12 , wherein the gesture input may be provided using a stylus pen.

17. The method of claim 13 , further comprising:

receiving a first user input for selecting the second mode via the touchscreen display; and

switching the first mode to the second mode upon receiving the first user input.

18. The method of claim 17 , further comprising:

receiving a second user input for selecting the first mode via the touchscreen display; and

switching the second mode to the first mode upon receiving the second user input.

19. The method of claim 11 , further comprising:

displaying a user interface of a drawing application program at the partial region of the external display device; and

setting a partial region of the touchscreen display as an input region, by considering a ratio of a horizontal size and vertical size of the user interface.

20. The method of claim 19 , further comprising:

displaying guide information indicating the set input region on the touchscreen display.
