The present disclosure provides a method of controlling an application of an electronic device, including displaying a memo screen of a memo application in a foreground in a translucent manner with the memo screen superimposed on a first execution screen of a content application being executed in a background, displaying the translucent memo screen including a first content included in the first execution screen based on a user input for selecting the first content, switching the first execution screen of the content application to a second execution screen of the content application, displaying the memo screen of the memo application in the foreground in a translucent manner with the memo screen superimposed on the second execution screen of the content application being executed in the background, and displaying the translucent memo screen including the first content and a second content included in the second execution screen based on a user input for selecting the second content.

Electronic device and method for controlling application thereof

According to an embodiment of the disclosure, an electronic device, comprising, a housing, a flexible display slidably coupled to the housing, and at least one processor configured to control the flexible display to display an execution screen of a first application on a first region of the flexible display which is exposed to an outside based on a first mode, detect a pull-out of the flexible display from the housing, and in response to detecting the pull-out of the flexible display, control the flexible display to display the execution screen of the first application on at least a portion of the first region, and control the flexible display to display an execution screen of a second application different from the first application on at least another portion of the first region and a second region of the flexible display which is exposed to the outside by the pull-out.

Electronic device with flexible display and method for operating same

Various examples of the present invention relate to an electronic device and a method for displaying applications used in the electronic device. The electronic device includes a wireless communication unit; a touch screen; a processor coupled to the wireless communication unit and the touch screen; and a memory coupled to the processor, wherein the memory, when executed, stores instructions to cause the processor to control to: display, on the touch screen, an execution screen of a first application being executed among a plurality of applications having a stack order, display, on the touch screen, an execution screen of a second application among the plurality of applications according to the stack order, instead of the execution screen of the first application, in response to a first swipe gesture input from a first position of the touch screen while the execution screen of the first application is displayed, display, on the touch screen, an execution screen of a third application among the plurality of applications according to the stack order, instead of the execution screen of the first application, in response to a second swipe gesture input from a second position of the touch screen while the execution screen of the first application is displayed, and change the stack order of the first application, the second application, and the third application, based on a user input for interacting with one of the first application, the second application, and the third application. Other various examples are possible other than the examples disclosed in the present invention.

Electronic device and method for displaying application used therein

An electronic device and a method for controlling a camera device in the electronic device are provided. The electronic device includes a display, a camera device disposed at a location overlapping a partial area of the display, and a processor that controls the camera device based on information input through an adjacent area of the partial area of the display or an adjacent area including the partial area of the display.

Method of controlling camera device in an electronic device in various instances and electronic device thereof

Disclosed is an electronic device including a first plate, a second plate disposed under the first plate, a flexible display including a screen area configured to expand based on a movement of the first plate from a closed state to an open state with respect to the second plate, at least one display driver integrated circuit, and a processor electrically connected to the flexible display and the at least one display driver integrated circuit, and the at least one display driver integrated circuit being configured to display, in a first state where the processor is in an inactive state and the screen area of the flexible display is not expanded, at least one first object in a first area of the screen area, and display, in a second state where the processor is in the inactive state and the screen area of the flexible display is expanded, at least one second object associated with the at least one first object, in a second area of the screen area of the expanded flexible display.

Method for displaying content in expandable screen area and electronic device supporting the same

An electronic device includes a first structure, a second structure, a flexible touch screen display layer including a plane part and a bendable portion, an application processor, at least one display driver integrated circuit, and a memory. The memory stores instructions that, when executed while the application processor is inactivated, cause the at least one display driver integrated circuit to display at least one first object in a first area of the plane part in a first state where the first structure is closed with respect to the second structure and to display at least one second object associated with the first object in a second area of the plane part or in a third area of the bendable portion in a second state where the first structure is opened with respect to the second structure.

Electronic device and method for switching and aligning applications thereof

The present invention relates to a motion input device for portable terminal and an operation method using the same. A motion input device of a portable terminal of the present invention includes a sensor unit configured to collect a sensor signal from at least one sensor; an operation recognition unit configured to generate a motion signal corresponding to an operation of portable terminal based on the sensor signal; a scenario preparation unit configured to generate an input scenario based on at least one motion signal; and a scenario mapping unit configured to detect, in a scenario database, a standards scenario corresponding to the input scenario, and to generate an input signal corresponding to the standards scenario.
