An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a first display driving circuit configured to control the first area of the flexible display, a second display driving circuit configured to control the second area of the flexible display, a processor, and a memory storing instructions, which when executed by the processor, cause the electronic device to: while the housing is in the flat state, display a first execution screen, corresponding to a first application, on the first area and the second area of the flexible display, while the first execution screen, corresponding to the first application, is displayed on the first area and the second area of the flexible display, identify the housing being moved from flat state to the partially folded state, based at least on the housing being moved from the flat state to the partially folded state, display a second execution screen corresponding to the first application, different from the first execution screen, on the first area and the second area of the flexible display, and while the second execution screen is displayed in the partially folded state, control the first display driving circuit and the second driving circuit such that one of the first area and the second area of the flexible display, which is more closely aligned with a ground plane, consumes electrical power less than electrical power consumed by the other one of the first area and the second area of the flexible display.

Electronic device and method for controlling display of same

An electronic device and method are disclosed. The electronic device includes a communication circuit, a sensor circuit, a digitizer panel, and a processor. The processor implements the method, including: detecting whether an electronic pen is detached from the electronic device via the sensor circuit, activating the digitizer panel based on detecting detachment of the electronic pen from the electronic device, identifying a state of the electronic pen through a communication linkage with the electronic pen via the communication circuit, and deactivate the activated digitizer panel based on the identified state of the electronic pen.

In one embodiment, an electronic device controls an external conversion device connected to an external device. The electronic device includes a connection terminal formed on a portion of an outer surface thereof, a first converter connected to the connection terminal and configured to convert signals, and a processor operatively connected to the first converter. The processor is configured, when the external conversion device is connected to the connection terminal, and the external device is connected to the external conversion device, to identify a type of the external device connected to the external conversion device by receiving an operation signal of the external device through the external conversion device, the connection terminal, and the first converter, and to input or output a signal corresponding to the external device through the external conversion device.

Electronic device for controlling external conversion device

An electronic device is provided, which includes a housing, at least one hinge structure disposed to the housing, and a stand member that is opened or closed at an angle from the housing through the at least one hinge structure. The housing includes an engaging stopper formed at an outer surface of the housing. The stand member includes a first stopper formed at a corresponding position of the engaging stopper. The angle is determined when the first stopper meets the engaging stopper.

Electronic device including stand member

An electronic device is provided to include a battery and a processor. The processor is configured to identify whether an external power source for charging the battery is connected, identify a voltage of the battery when connection of the external power source is identified, determine a charge start time based on time when the connection of the external power source is identified, determine a charge end time based on situation information of the electronic device, determine a charge stop time of the battery based on the charge start time, the charge end time and the voltage of the battery when a difference between the charge start time and the charge end time satisfies a designated threshold, and divide a period between the charge start time and the charge end time into a first charge section, a charge stop section and a second charge section based on the charge stop time.

Electronic device including battery and method of controlling charging thereof

An electronic device is provided, which includes a housing including a first plate facing in a first direction, a second plate facing in a second direction opposite to the first direction, and a lateral member surrounding a space between the first plate and the second plate, at least one hinge structure disposed at an edge of the second plate, a stand member that is opened or closed at an angle from the second plate through the at least one hinge structure; and a display disposed in the space and being visible through at least a portion of the first plate. The second plate includes an engaging stopper formed by a first terminating plane near the at least one hinge structure. The stand member includes a first stopper formed by a second terminating plane facing the engaging stopper of the second plate. The angle is determined when the first stopper meets the engaging stopper.
