Display screen or portion thereof with graphical user interface

An example electronic device may include a housing, a flexible display, wherein at least a portion of the flexible display which is positioned in the housing is configured to be exposed to an outside of the housing as the housing slides, a speaker, and a processor operatively connected with the speaker and the flexible display. The processor may be configured to control the speaker to output a first sound at a first volume value while a state of the housing is a normal state, identify a size of a first area of the flexible display exposed to the outside, based on a first slide of the housing to change the state of the housing to an extended state, and control the speaker to output the first sound at a second volume value higher than the first volume value based on a size of the first area while the state of the housing is the extended state.

Electronic device including flexible display and method for operating the same

According to certain embodiments, an electronic device performs: displaying a first screen lay; sensing a change in the size of the viewable portion of a flexible display through at least one sensor; displaying a list comprising at least one selectable item in at least a partial region of the flexible display during the changing of the size of the viewable portion of the flexible display; detecting that the changing of the size of the viewable portion of the flexible display has stopped; and if so, displaying the first screen corresponding to the viewable portion of the flexible display with the changed size; and in response to returning of the size of the viewable portion of the flexible display to an original size without completing the change in the size of the viewable portion of the flexible display, displaying a second screen corresponding to a selectable item on the viewable portion of the flexible display having the original size.

Electronic device capable of expanding display region and method for controlling screen thereof

An electronic device according to various embodiments may include: a housing, a battery, a flexible display including a first area and a second area extending from the first area and configured to move from the housing to change the size of an area visible to the front face of the electronic device, a sensor configured to identify information related to the size of the visible area of the display, and a processor, wherein the processor may be configured to: identify size information of the visible area of the display using the information received from the sensor, and control the display to display information related to an available usage time of the electronic device based on the identified size information and the remaining amount of the battery.

Electronic device including flexible display and method of operating the same

An electronic device may include: a housing; a flexible display which can be slid out from an inner space of the housing; and a processor, wherein the processor is configured to: control a first screen operation on the flexible display having a first size; determine whether the flexible display is slid out; control a second screen operation on the flexible display having a second size when the flexible display is slid out; and control the second screen operation such that a first page displayed during the first screen operation and at least some of icons included on a second page are displayed, and a user interface is displayed to allow the at least some of icons included on the second page to be distinguished from the first page.

Electronic device including flexible display and method for operating screen of electronic device

An electronic device includes a housing, a flexible display, a camera, and a processor. The housing includes a first housing and a second housing coupled to and movable with respect to the first housing. The flexible display including an exposed area that is a first size when the electronic device is in a first state and a second size when the second housing moves and the electronic device is switched into a second state. The processor is configured to acquire an image having a designated aspect ratio through the camera. The processor is also configured to display a first area of the image on the exposed area corresponding to the first size when the electronic device is in the first state and display a second area of the image on the exposed area corresponding to the second size when the electronic device is in the second state.

Electronic device and method for displaying image on flexible display

An electronic device and method are disclosed. The electronic device includes a first sub-housing, and a second sub-housing, a flexible, a sensor, and a processor. The processor implements the method, including detecting a first input, obtaining a first value from the first input, when the first value is equal to or greater than a first reference value, detecting a second input following the first input, displaying a first graphical user interface element in response to the second input, obtaining a second value from the second input, when the second value is less than a second reference value, displaying the first GUI element on the display based on the second value, and when the second value is equal to or greater than the second reference value, displaying a second GUI element on the flexible display, wherein the second housing is moved to extend a display area.

Electronic device and method for inducing input

According to certain embodiments, an electronic device comprises: a flexible display; at least one sensor configured to sense changes in a size of a viewable portion of the flexible display; at least one processor operatively connected to the flexible display and the at least one sensor; and a memory operatively connected to the at least one processor, wherein the memory stores instructions that, when being executed, cause the at least one processor to perform a plurality of operations comprising: displaying a first screen on the flexible display; sensing a change in the size of the viewable portion of the flexible display through the at least one sensor; displaying a list comprising at least one selectable item in at least a partial region of the flexible display during the changing of the size of the viewable portion of the flexible display; detecting that the changing of the size of the viewable portion of the flexible display has stopped; in response to detecting the size of the viewable portion of the flexible display has stopped, displaying the first screen corresponding to the viewable portion of the flexible display with the changed size; and in response to returning of the size of the viewable portion of the flexible display to an original size without completing the change in the size of the viewable portion of the flexible display, displaying a second screen corresponding to a selectable item while the size of the viewable portion of the flexible display changes, among items included in the list, on the viewable portion of the flexible display having the original size.
