An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a first housing, a second housing movable with respect to the first housing, a motor for moving the second housing to be inserted and/or withdrawn with respect to the first housing, a display for displaying a display area having a size changeable according to the movement of the second housing, and a processor operatively connected to the display and the motor and being configured to identify whether a maintenance mode in which the size of the display area is maintained in a determined size is activated, control the motor to move the second housing according to the state of the electronic device corresponding to the deactivation of the maintenance mode, and maintain the size of the display area to be the determined size corresponding to the activation of the maintenance mode.

Electronic device including flexible display and method for operating electronic device

An accessory device detachably attachable to an electronic device comprising a housing which is expandable to define an expanded area of the housing, and a display module which is expandable, together with the housing, to define an expanded area of the display module, and the accessory device may comprise a main body configured to be mounted to the expanded area of the housing, the main body comprising a mounting surface, and a coupling unit which detachably attaches the accessory device to the electronic device, wherein the main body which is attached to the housing which is expanded, may disposes the mounting surface to support the expanded area of the housing together with the expanded area of the display module.

Accessory device and electronic device including the same

An electronic device is provided. The electronic device comprising a flexible display includes a first area and a second area extending from the first area, a motor module configured to move at least a part of the second area according to a driving state in the first state and the second state, and a processor electrically connected to the flexible display and the motor module. The processor identifies a characteristic value related to the motor module when being changed from the first state to the second state and controls the motor module such that an area exposed to the outside of the electronic device among the second area is changed based on the identified characteristic value.

Method for controlling flexible display and electronic device supporting the same

An electromagnetic wave sensing electronic device includes: a communication module configured to communicate with an external electronic device; at least one electromagnetic wave reception antenna configured to detect an electromagnetic signal generated from the external electronic device; a memory; and at least one processor, wherein the memory stores instructions causing the processor to, when executed, receive the electromagnetic signal, when the received electromagnetic signal has a predetermined range intensity or a predetermined range frequency characteristic, analyze the received electromagnetic signal, identify the external electronic device, based at least on the analysis result, identify a type of the electromagnetic signal, based at least one the analysis result, determine a proximity location between the electronic device and the external electronic device, based at least on the identified type of the electromagnetic signal, identify one or more predetermined functions corresponding to the determined proximity location, and perform the one or more predetermined functions.
