An electronic device and method are disclosed herein. The electronic device includes a processor, a touch screen and a memory including instructions executable by the processor to execute the method, including: when detecting a first touch input to the touch screen, identifying an orientation for arranging a plurality of selectable objects, rearrange one or more objects from among the plurality of selectable objects according to the identified orientation relative to a location on the touch screen where the first touch input is detected, and outputting information associated with a particular object from among the rearranged one or more objects corresponding to detection of a second touch input.

Method for providing object information and electronic device thereof

An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a foldable housing. The foldable housing includes a first housing including a first display and an illuminance sensor on a front surface, and a second housing, adjacent to the first housing, including a hole formed through a front surface and a rear surface of the second housing. The front surface of the first housing faces the front surface of the second housing when the second housing is folded in a first direction with respect to the first housing, and a rear surface of the first housing faces the rear surface of the second housing when the second housing is folded in a second direction with respect to the first housing.

Display controlling method and electronic device adapted to the same

A method and apparatus capable of enhancing the usability of an electronic device through interworking between the electronic devices are disclosed. The electronic device includes a 1st wireless communication interface configured to perform 1st wireless communication with another electronic device, a 2nd wireless communication interface configured to perform 2nd wireless communication with another electronic device, and a processor operatively coupled with the 1st wireless communication interface and the 2nd wireless communication interface. The processor is configured to connect with another electronic device by the 1st wireless communication, using the 1st wireless communication interface, execute a 1st process with another electronic device on the basis of the 1st wireless communication, sense a 2nd process during the execution of the 1st process, allocate a resource for processing the 1st process and the 2nd process, in accordance with a corresponding profile, and process at least one process among the 1st process or the 2nd process on the basis of the allocated resource.

Method and apparatus for interworking between electronic devices

An electronic device and method are provided for switching an antenna for SAR reduction. The method includes sequentially switching, based on a predetermined schedule, a plurality of antennas having different main emission directions, when transmitting a wireless signal.

Method of switching antenna for reducing specific absorption rate and electronic device supporting the same

An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a foldable housing including a first housing part that includes a first surface and a second surface facing opposite to the first surface, a second housing part including a first surface that faces the first surface of the first housing part when the housing is folded in a first direction and a second surface that faces the second surface of the first housing part when the housing is folded in a second direction. The electronic device includes a first display, a second display disposed, a first sensor disposed in the first housing part, a second sensor disposed in the second housing part, and a processor that is configured to identify an angle between the first housing part and the second housing part using the first sensor and the second sensor and execute at least one action of the electronic device based on the identified angle.

Method for measuring angles between displays and electronic device using the same

A method for displaying information at a foldable electronic device having a secondary display that is exposed when the foldable electronic device is folded, the method comprising: obtaining, by a processor, information associated with an exposure of the secondary display; displaying a first content item on the secondary display based on a size of an exposed area of the secondary display; and updating the secondary display in response to detecting a change in the size of the exposed area of the secondary display.

Electronic device including hidden display and method for displaying information thereof

An electronic device with a touch sensor includes a body mounted with an electronic element, and a cover detachably coupled to the body. The body includes a signal generating circuitry that generates an electric signal, a first antenna that transmits the electric signal, and a touch processing circuitry that processes a touch signal received through the first antenna. The cover includes a touch sensor that is driven by the electric signal and recognizes a touch, and a second antenna connected with the touch sensor. The second antenna receives the electric signal and transmits a touch signal sensed through the touch sensor unit.

Electronic device having touch sensor

An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a housing including a first housing including a first surface facing a first direction, a second surface facing a second direction opposite the first direction, and a first side surface at least partially surrounding a space between the first surface and the second surface, and a second housing including a first surface that is capable of being oriented to face the first surface of the first housing portion, a second surface facing a direction opposite to the first surface, and a second side surface at least partially surrounding a space between the first surface and the second surface, a connection (hinge, joint, or the like) coupling the first housing and the second housing, a communication circuit arranged within the first housing, a ground arranged within the first housing, a first conductive member extending along at least a part of the first side surface, and a second conductive member extending along at least a part of the second side surface.

Foldable electronic device

A method and apparatus for unlocking a mobile terminal can immediately execute a specific application at a lock screen. The method of unlocking a mobile terminal includes: outputting a lock screen including an icon area in which at least one icon representing an application is displayed and a pattern area that receives a pattern gesture input for unlocking; sensing a touch signal that moves a specific icon displayed in the icon area to the pattern area; determining whether a first pattern gesture for unlocking is input to the pattern area without release of the touch signal; determining, if a first pattern gesture is input, whether the input first pattern gesture corresponds with a preset unlock pattern gesture; and unlocking, if the input first pattern gesture corresponds with a preset unlock pattern gesture, the mobile terminal and executing an application corresponding to the specific icon.
