An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a first housing, a second housing slidable with respect to the first housing, a display having one end fixed to the second housing and having a variable information display area in which information is visually displayed according to sliding of the second housing, a sliding motor, and a processor operatively connected to the display and the sliding motor and, when an application is executed, the processor acquires first information including a display ratio of application-related information that is be displayed on the display by executing the application, acquires second information including a screen ratio according to the information display area of the display, compares the first information with the second information, and controls the sliding motor on the basis of the comparison result.

Electronic device comprising display with variable display area and control method

An electronic device includes a memory, a touch panel, a display having a flexible structure, at least one sensor, and at least one processor, and the memory stores instructions that cause, when executed, the at least one processor to during a driving section in which a changing in the screen size of the display is detected by the at least one sensor, adjust a touch sensitivity of the touch panel from a first setting value to a second setting value, and to, based on determining that the changing of the screen size of the display is detected to be finished by a sensing result of the at least one sensor, adjust the touch sensitivity of the touch panel from the second setting value to the first setting value.

Flexible-type electronic device and operating method therefor

An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a memory configured to store at least one application, a database storing determination criteria information to determine an abnormal operation of the at least one application, and an agent configured to control a process of the at least application, and a processor, coupled to the memory, configured to execute the agent, in which, when executing the agent, the processor is configured to receive state information related to the abnormal operation of the at least one application from an operating system (OS), determine a target application from the at least one application in which an abnormal operation is expected based on the determination criteria information, and preload the target application in a background.

Electronic device preloading abnormal application in background, and operation method thereof

An electronic device includes a display; and at least one processor operatively connected to the display, wherein the at least one processor is configured to: control the display to display a plurality of windows displaying a plurality of execution screens corresponding to a plurality of applications, wherein a first execution screen corresponding to a first application among the plurality of applications is displayed in a first window having a first size, and a second execution screen corresponding to a second application among the plurality of applications is displayed in a second window having a second size that is smaller than the first size; obtain an event related to the second application; and based on obtaining the event related to the second application, control the display to change a window that displays the second execution screen of the second application or display a user interface (UI) related to a multi-window disposition in the second window.

Electronic device and multi-window control method of electronic device

An embodiment of the disclosure relates to a foldable electronic device including a plurality of cameras, providing a preview image of a camera in response to folding or unfolding of the device and an operating method thereof. A foldable electronic device according to an embodiment of the disclosure may include: a plurality of cameras, at least one display, at least one processor operatively connected with the plurality of the cameras and the at least one display, and at least one memory operatively connected with the at least one processor, and the at least one memory may store instructions which, when executed, cause the at least one processor to: while a first preview image corresponding to a first camera among the plurality of the cameras is displayed on the at least one display, select at least one other camera, based on an analysis result of at least one object included in the first preview image, in response to detecting folding or unfolding of the electronic device, display a second preview image corresponding to the selected at least one other camera, and obtain a captured image based on the displayed second preview image.

Electronic device for providing camera preview image and operating method thereof

A foldable electronic device includes a first housing structure, a second housing structure, a first display foldable about a folding area depending on an arrangement state corresponding to an angle between the first housing structure and the second housing structure, a second display, a hinge structure disposed between the first housing structure and the second housing structure, a driver that operates depending on at least one drive signal of a plurality of drive signals to rotate the hinge structure, a processor, and a memory that stores instructions that cause the processor to change the arrangement state depending on occurrence of a first event in the foldable electronic device.

Foldable electronic device having shape changing according to event and method for changing shape of foldable electronic device

An embodiment discloses an electronic device including: a first memory in which multiple applications are stored; a second memory; and at least one processor operatively connected to the first memory and the second memory. The processor(s) is configured to determine, based on a history of usage of the multiple applications for a first period of time, a priority of the multiple applications over multiple time intervals included in a second period of time. The processor(s) is further configured to preload a predetermined first number of applications into the second memory based on the priority if a designated condition being satisfied; and preload a first list of applications into the second memory if the designated condition is satisfied in a first time interval, and preload a second list of applications into the second memory if the designated condition is satisfied in a second time interval.

Method for preloading application based on history and condition and electronic device supporting same

A foldable electronic device is disclosed, the electronic device including a first housing and a second housing adjacent to the first housing; a hinge unit configured to connect the first housing and the second housing; a flexible touch display disposed across the first housing and the second housing; at least one sensor configured to detect an angle formed by the first housing and the second housing; a processor operatively connected with the flexible touch display and the at least one sensor; and a memory operatively connected with the processor, and the memory stores instructions that, when executed, cause the processor to determine whether the first housing and the second housing are in an unfolding state by using the at least one sensor; when the first housing and the second housing are in the unfolding state, set a touch sensitivity of the flexible touch display to a first state; determine a change of the angle formed by the first housing and the second housing by using the at least one sensor; and when the angle is being changed, change the touch sensitivity of the flexible touch display to a second state which is lower than the first state.
