Various embodiments of the present invention relate to a method for setting a layout for a physical keyboard by an electronic device to which same is connected, and a device therefor. An electronic device according to various embodiments of the present invention may comprise a display, a communication interface, a memory, and a processor, wherein the processor includes the functions of: sensing, through the communication interface, whether an external device is connected; displaying guide text related to keyboard layout configurations by means of the display on the basis of the function of sensing whether the external device is connected; receiving a key value input by a user through the external device; searching for a layout corresponding to the received key value; and setting the found layout as a keyboard layout for the connected external device. Various embodiments are possible.

Method for setting layout for physical keyboard by electronic device, and device therefor

Disclosed is an electronic device including a display device including a touch sensor and a processor electrically connected to the touch sensor and the display device, wherein the processor is configured to control the electronic device to: display content and a cursor on a first area of the display device, display a touch pad user interface configured to receive a touch input on a second area of the display device, and control the cursor on the first area based on the touch input received through the touch pad user interface displayed on the second area.

Electronic device including display device including touch sensor for controlling a cursor

An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a communication circuitry, at least one memory storing instructions, a display, and at least one processor. The at least one processor, when executing the instructions, is configured to display, using the communication circuitry, a first user interface of an application being executed in the electronic device on a display of an external device, while displaying the first user interface on the display of the external device, receive a specified input, and in response to receiving the specified input, display, on the display of the electronic device, a virtual touch pad in a first area and a virtual keyboard in a second area distinct from the first area.

Electronic device and method for providing virtual input tool

An electronic device and a key input method using an external input device are provided. The electronic device includes a camera; a display; a communication interface; a memory; and a processor. The processor is configured to establish an electrical connection to an external keyboard; obtain an image of the external keyboard; set a key arrangement for the external keyboard based on the obtained image; and generate information corresponding to a key input signal received from the external keyboard based on the set key arrangement.

Electronic device and key input method therefor

An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a foldable housing configured to include a first housing member having a first surface and a second surface facing away from the first surface, a second housing member having a first surface facing the first surface of the first housing member when folded in a first direction and a second surface facing the second surface of the first housing member when folded in a second direction, and a connection mechanism connecting the first housing member and the second housing member, a flexible display exposed through the first surface of the first housing member and the first surface of the second housing member, a processor electrically connected to the flexible display, and a memory electrically connected to the processor, wherein the memory may store instructions that, when executed, cause the processor to designate a physically deformed specific region of the flexible display, determine whether at least one selectable object is located in the specific region, and reconfigure the at least one selectable object.
