A foldable electronic device and method for the same are disclosed herein. The foldable electronic device includes at least one display, a sensor, at least one camera, a processor, at least one switch electrically connecting the at least one display, at least one camera and processor. The processor implements the method, including: detecting an operating state of the device via the sensor, and controlling the at least one switch to selectively connect the processor to one of the display and the at least one camera, based on the detected operating state.

Method for displaying preview image and electronic device supporting the same

An embodiment disclosed herein relate to a foldable electronic device for improving open convenience and a control method thereof. According to an embodiment, the disclosure may provide a foldable electronic device including: a hinge structure; a first housing connected to the hinge structure; a second housing connected to the hinge structure and foldable with respect to the first housing around the hinge structure; a flexible display; a first magnet disposed in a position adjacent to an edge of the first housing and including a magnetic substance arranged along the longitudinal direction of the first housing; and a second magnet disposed in a position adjacent to an edge of the second housing and corresponding to the first magnet, and including a magnetic substance arranged along the longitudinal direction of the second housing. Various other embodiments are also disclosed.

Foldable electronic device

An electronic device and method are disclosed. The electronic device includes a first and second housing movable relative to each other. The second housing supports a flexible display which may be at least partially exposed to an exterior, and at least partially stowed within the first housing based on the movement of the housings. A processor implements the method including detecting movement of the housings such that a visible display area of the display is changed, detecting whether the resizing meets a predetermined condition, and if resizing does not meet the predetermined condition, executing image processing on a portion of the resized visible display area.

Electronic device including flexible display and method for controlling same

An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a foldable display, a decoration member made of a resin material to surround at least a portion of the foldable display, a support member configured to support the foldable display and including a metal area connected to the decoration member, and a conductive member disposed on the decoration member and electrically connected to the metal area. The conductive member may include a first conductive member arranged to face the support member and a second conductive member arranged parallel to the first conductive member and electrically connected to the first conductive member.

Electronic device including conductive member

An electronic device is disclosed. The electronic device may include a housing having a first housing structure and a second housing structure, wherein the first and second housing structures are foldable with respect to each other about a hinge axis, a processor disposed in the housing, a first battery disposed in the first housing structure, a second battery disposed in the second housing, a flexible printed circuit board (FPCB) extending from the first housing structure to the second housing structure and crossing the hinge axis, a power management integrated circuit (PMIC), a first charging control circuit disposed in the first housing structure, and a second charging control circuit disposed in the second housing structure. In addition, various embodiments are possible which are understood through the disclosure.

Electronic device and method for managing battery thereof

A device and a method are provided. The device and the method include providing, by a first electronic device, first content associated with an application that is executed in a second electronic device detachably connected to the first electronic device, determining a change in a connection between the first and second electronic devices based on an event that occurs in the connection, and providing, by the first electronic device, the first content, or second content associated with the application based on the determination of the change in the connection.

Detachable electronic device and operating method thereof

An electronic device including a connector and a method therefor are provided. The electronic device includes a connector for mounting at least one of a universal flash storage (UFS) card, a secure digital (SD) card, or a universal integrated circuit card (UICC). The connector includes a first power terminal for connecting the SD card or the UFS card, a second power terminal for connecting the UFS card or the UICC, and one or more signal terminals for connecting at least one of the UFS card, the SD card, and the UICC, and a processor configured to detect a card mounted in the connector, output to the UFS card a first designated voltage and a second designated voltage, and reset the UFS card through the one or more signal terminals, or output the first designated voltage and a third designated voltage, and reset a corresponding SD card or the UICC.

Universal flash storage, electronic device capable of connecting to a plurality type of memory devices and method thereof

Provided are a method and apparatus for controlling at least part of one or more functions of an electronic device so as to reduce power consumption. According to various embodiments, the electronic device may perform operations of identifying the number of one or more displays functionally connected with the electronic device, executing at least part of one or more functions of the one or more displays in a first power consumption mode if the number of one or more displays is singular, and executing at least part of one or more functions of the one or more displays in a second power consumption mode if the number of one or more displays is plural.

Power control method and apparatus for reducing power consumption

Disclosed herein is an apparatus and a method for controlling heat according to a use environment of a wireless communication terminal in the wireless communication terminal. The method includes measuring an internal temperature of the wireless communication terminal when the wireless communication terminal performs communication by using a predetermined channel or band. The method includes acquiring a heat control method matched to a currently-measured internal temperature from a heat control table having temperature ranges of heat generated within the wireless communication terminal, after the wireless communication terminal selects at least one of bands or channels and performs communication by using the selected at least one band or channel, and storing a heat control method in each temperature range. The method includes controlling the heat generated within the wireless communication terminal according to the acquired heat control method.
