An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes at least one sensor; at least one input interface; at least one output interface; a display; at least one processor electrically connected to the at least one sensor, the at least one input interface, the at least one output interface and the display; and memory electrically connected to the at least one processor, wherein memory is configured to store instructions which, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to receive a sound from a user via the at least one input interface, execute an application for interaction with the user based on the received sound, identify the user based on information associated with the user obtained using the at least one sensor, and control the display to display information related to at least one function of the application executed in association with the user.

Electronic device and method of providing information in electronic device

A method in an electronic device is provided. The method includes detecting a number of input tools on a touch screen, switching into one input mode among at least two set input modes according to the number of the detected input tools, and receiving a set content or changing a layout of a displayed content according to a touch-inputted input tool among the detected input tools, a relative length change, and a movement direction of the touch-inputted input tool.

Method for changing an input mode in an electronic device

An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a main body including a rotating member, a rotation supporting member supporting the rotating member, and a driving device moving the rotating member, a display coupled onto a surface of the rotating member, a processor configured to control the driving module to move the rotating member, and a memory configured to store instructions executed by the processor, wherein the processor is further configured to control a movement of the rotating member so that the display or a screen of the display faces in a first direction where an external object is positioned, identify the external object positioned in the first direction using at least one sensor, configure an operational condition related to the identified external object and at least one operation control function associated with the operational condition based on information received according to an interaction with the identified external object, and provide information related to the configured operational condition and the at least one configured operation control function.

Electronic device and method for providing information in electronic device

An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a rotation support member; a support member configured to support the rotation support member; a rotation member movably coupled to the rotation support member; a display movably coupled to a surface of the rotation member; a driving device configured to drive the display; a memory; and a processor, wherein the processor is configured to control, if input information is received, driving of the rotation member to make the display corresponding to the received input information face a first direction, control, if the display moves to face the first direction, driving the rotation member to face a second direction for identify an external object, identifying, if the display is located to face the external object in the second direction, the external object, and display information on at least one function executed in connection with the identified external object on the display.
