An electronic device includes: a first housing, a second housing for accommodating the first housing to enable sliding of the first housing, a flexible display connected to the first housing, a slide driving unit for slidingly moving the first housing, and a processor. The processor identifies a reduced state where the flexible display is slid in a reduction direction or an expanded state where the flexible display is slid in an expansion direction, in the reduced state, identifies a first edge area of the flexible display as a first input area and controls the flexible display to enter the expanded state, based on an input through the first input area, and in the expanded state, identifies a second edge area of the flexible display as a second input area and controls the flexible display to enter the reduced state, based on an input through the second input area.

Electronic device including flexible display and method for controlling input area for expansion and reduction of display in the electronic device

An electronic device according to an embodiment comprises: at least one sensor; a flexible display having at least a part visible to the outside; a driving circuit configured to roll out or roll in the flexible display; and at least one processor operatively connected to the at least one sensor, the flexible display and the driving circuit, wherein the at least one processor can be configured to: confirm the occurrence of an event based on a sensor value of the at least one sensor; confirm a state of the flexible display; confirm whether the flexible display is roll out or roll in and the sliding speed of the flexible display based on the occurrence of an event and the state of the flexible display; and control the driving circuit so that the flexible display is rolled out or rolled in at the sliding speed, based on the rolling out or the rolling in of the flexible display being determined.

Electronic device including flexible display, and control method therefor

An electronic device is provided and includes a display, memory, and one or more processors communicatively coupled to the display and the memory, wherein the one or more computer programs cause the electronic device to display a first screen in a first area of the display during a first state, detect an event in a state display a first object corresponding to the event in a partial area of the first area, identify a first gesture input of a user in an area, and change a state of the display from the first state to a second state in which the first area and the second area of the display are exposed to the outside of the electronic device.

Method for expanding display of electronic device, and electronic device for supporting same

An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a housing, a flexible display including a display area, wherein the display area is extendable in one or more directions with respect to the housing by moving a portion of the flexible display through the housing to be visually exposed, and at least one processor configured to be operatively connected to the flexible display, wherein the at least one processor is configured to display first content on a first area of the flexible display, detect an event for displaying second content related to the first content, identify an attribute of the second content according to the detection of the event, identify a direction in which the flexible display is to be extended based on the attribute of the second content, and display at least a portion of the second content in a second area of the flexible display extended in the identified direction.

Slidable electronic device and operating method thereof

An electronic device including a flexible display and a method of transitioning a first execution screen of a first application from one screen area of the flexible display to a second screen area are described. The first area may have a first screen ratio, whereas the second area may have a second screen ratio. The transition may be based on a folded/unfolded state of the electronic device. The transition may be triggered based on switching to/from a folded state. Several other screen areas may be used for additional transitions and provide visual effects to provide a seamless user experience through such transitions.

Electronic device including flexible display and operation method thereof

A storage medium that stores commands, the commands being configured to enable at least one processor of an electronic device to perform at least one operation when executed by the at least one processor is provided. The at least one operation comprises identifying a remaining amount of a battery of the electronic device and a power consumption rate of the electronic device, and controlling, based on the remaining amount of battery and the power consumption rate, a driving circuit of the electronic device to switch a display of the electronic device from a first state to a second state, wherein a first area of the display is exposed in the first state, the first area including a second area and a third area and wherein the second area is exposed and the third area is not exposed in the second state.

Electronic device including extendable display for expanding and reducing display area that is visible from front side of housing and control method therefor

A method of displaying a nearby point of interest (POI) using augmented reality and an electronic device thereof. An operation method of an electronic device includes: acquiring a preview video; acquiring location information of the electronic device; acquiring information on at least one POI located in a vicinity; selecting a focus POI among at least one POI; determining first information to be provided to a user for general POIs; determining second information including more information than the first information to be provided to the user for the focus POI; determining a location on a screen on which the preview video in which the information on the at least one POI is to be displayed; and displaying the first information or the second information on the location on the screen on which the determined preview video of all or some of the at least one POI is provided.

Method and apparatus for displaying surrounding information using augmented reality

A method for generating and displaying a user-customized page and a mobile device thereof are provided. The method for processing a user-customized page in a mobile device includes collecting use information of a user with respect to the mobile device when a preset specific situation occurs, generating a user-customized page associated with the specific situation using the use information when the specific situation is terminated, and storing the generated user-customized page.

Method for processing user-customized page and mobile device thereof

Display screen or portion thereof with animated graphical user interface

An apparatus for displaying an image in a portable terminal includes a camera to photograph the image, a touch screen to display the image and to allow selecting an object area of the displayed image, a memory to store the image, a controller to detect at least one object area within the image when displaying the image of the camera or the memory and to recognize object information of the detected object area to be converted into a voice, and an audio processing unit to output the voice.

Apparatus and method for representing an image in a portable terminal

A method for processing information in a portable terminal is provided. The method includes displaying a content, displaying a clip area on the content when detecting a clip touch interaction, correcting the clip area by analyzing a pattern and/or information of the clip area, and storing information of corrected clip area in a clipboard.

Apparatus and method for processing displayed information in portable terminal

A touch sensitive device allows a touch-based manipulation for contents displayed thereon. In a method, the device receives a predefined input event when a content screen is displayed on a display unit, determines whether a closed curve is formed on the display unit by the input event, and crops a specific content region defined by the closed curve.
