Disclosed in various examples of the present invention are a method and a device for enabling a system function using a system button to be used according to a user input, when displaying a picture related to an application through the entire area of a display without displaying a system button (provided transparently or translucently). According to various examples of the present invention, an electronic device comprises a display, a memory, and a processor electrically connected to the display and the memory, wherein the processor can be configured so as to sense, on the display, a user input through a touch region including the system button, identify the user input, and execute a system function by means of the system button or an application function according to the user input in the touch area including the system button. Various examples are possible.

Electronic device and operating method therefor

A device and method for switching applications in an electronic device are described. An electronic device includes a display and at least one processor. The at least one processor controls the display to display execution information on a first application and to display an application switch object in at least a portion of the display along with the displayed execution information on the first application when input for displaying the application switch object is received while the first application is executed. The application switch object includes at least one first object corresponding to an application usage history of the electronic device, a second object corresponding to the first application, and at least one third object corresponding to at least one second application executable in the electronic device.

Method for switching applications, and electronic device thereof

An intelligent event information presentation method and terminal is provided for facilitating information utilization by processing various event information, intelligently generated in association with a function of the terminal. The event information presentation method of the present invention includes collecting event information; and presenting at least one of the collected event information, according to a current operation mode.

Intelligent event information presentation method and terminal

An electronic device for acquiring biometric information may include a display, and a fingerprint sensor configured to acquire fingerprint data through at least a partial display region of the display. A processor may execute a first application in which a graphical object is displayed, for controlling a designated function other than a fingerprint registration function. A user input on the graphical object may be used to collect fingerprint information, which is used as part of a fingerprint registration function.

Method of acquiring biometric data and electronic device therefor

A method and an apparatus are provided. The method and apparatus include a display, a fingerprint sensor formed in at least a part of a display area of the display, and a processor, wherein the processor is configured to identify content including at least one object to be displayed on the display, when the content is not associated with acquisition of fingerprint information, display the at least one object at a predetermined position, and when the content is associated with the acquisition of the fingerprint information, display the at least one object in at least the part of the display area in which the fingerprint sensor is formed. Other embodiments are also possible.

Method of displaying user interface related to user authentication and electronic device for implementing same

Methods and apparatus are provided for an icon operation. A signal for designating a preset non-use period is received. An icon is output in a display format according to a non-use history of the icon and based on the preset non-use period.

Terminal for supporting icon operation and icon operation method
