An audio content playback method for a portable terminal. The audio content playback method includes checking a channel that is supportable by audio content that is currently engaged in group's simultaneous playback, in group's simultaneous playback of the audio content. The method includes allocating a channel to each of devices included in a group based on position information of each device included in the group or based on an input state in a user interface environment that is preset for channel allocation for each device included in the group, and transmitting the allocated channel information to each device included in the group to allow the device to select its allocated channel and play the audio content.

Audio content playback method and apparatus for portable terminal

A portable device and a screen displaying method of a portable device are provided. The method includes displaying a screen of an executed application on a screen of a portable device; detecting an approaching direction of an external device by using a sensor; and overlapping a directional layer for content sharing corresponding to the approaching direction of the external device, on the screen of the application.

Portable device and screen displaying method thereof

An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a display positioned on at least a surface of a housing of the electronic device, at least one sensor configured to sense a bend of the display and a mount of the electronic device, and a processor configured to control a running of an application, obtain information relating to a shape of the bend of the display and a form of the mount of the electronic device based on information sensed by the at least one sensor, determine a transformation type of the display based on the information relating to the shape of the bend and the form of the mount, when the electronic device is mounted in the determined transformation type, determine at least one display area in the display according to a first function of the application corresponding to the transformation type, and perform control to display an object relating to the first function on the determined display area.

Electronic device and method for running function according to transformation of display of electronic device

According to various examples of the present invention, an electronic device for controlling a plurality of displays can comprise: a first display for displaying a first screen; a second display for displaying a second screen; and a control unit for determining attributes of the first screen and the second screen, for determining whether to display, on a display that does not enter into an idle mode, a screen displayed on a display that enters into the idle mode in correspondence to the entry into the idle mode of either the first display or the second display, and for controlling the first display or the second display such that the first screen or the second screen is displayed thereon. In addition, various other examples are possible.

Electronic device for controlling plurality of displays and control method

An electronic device and a method for managing an object in a folder on the electronic device are provided. The electronic device includes a displaying unit, and a controller performing control to display a first folder including at least one object on a screen of the displaying unit, display at least one recommended folder associated with the first folder or an object selected from among the at least one object, along with the first folder, on the screen where the first folder is displayed, when the selected object is moved to a second folder among the at least one recommended folder, include the selected object in the second folder.

Electronic device and method providing an object management user interface

An electronic device and a method are provided. The electronic device includes a communication unit configured to transmit and receive data; and a controller configured to, when a state of the electronic device that satisfies a condition for termination of a running application is detected while the application is in progress, control discovery of at least one external electronic device and transmit data of the running application to at least one electronic device selected from the discovered external electronic devices through the communication unit with an instruction for the at least one selected electronic device to process the data of the running application.

Electronic device and method for controlling execution of application in electronic device

Provided is a mobile terminal having a sensor detecting movement thereof and an event processing method. The mobile terminal includes: an orientation detector for monitoring, in response to detection of an event, movement of the mobile terminal for a preset time duration to identify an orientation of the mobile terminal; and a controller for processing the event in an operating mode corresponding to the identified orientation. As a result, the user can readily switch operating modes of the mobile terminal by changing orientations thereof.

Mobile terminal and event processing method

An audio content playback method for a portable terminal The audio content playback method includes checking a channel that is supportable by audio content that is currently engaged in group's simultaneous playback, in group's simultaneous playback of the audio content. The method includes allocating a channel to each of devices included in a group based on position information of each device included in the group or based on an input state in a user interface environment that is preset for channel allocation for each device included in the group, and transmitting the allocated channel information to each device included in the group to allow the device to select its allocated channel and play the audio content.
