Referring again to FIG. 1A , the electronic device 101 may be a foldable device having an axis (eg, axis 155) in the horizontal direction in portrait mode. For example, the electronic device 101 may be a foldable device having an axis in the vertical direction in the portrait mode.

For example, in the portrait mode, the electronic device 101, which is the foldable device having the axis in the horizontal direction, may have a plurality of states identified through at least one sensor 130. For example, in the portrait mode, the electronic device 101, which is the foldable device having the axis in the vertical direction, may have a plurality of states identified through at least one sensor 130. The plurality of states can be illustrated through FIGS. 2 to 6.

2-6 illustrate examples of states of exemplary electronic devices.

Referring to FIGS. 2 and 3 , the electronic device 101 may have a horizontal axis 155 in the portrait mode. For example, the electronic device 101 may change one state among the plurality of states to another state among the plurality of states.

The first housing 160 of the electronic device 101 may include a surface 201 and a surface 202 opposite to the surface 201. For example, the first display area 141 may be located on the surface 201. For example, display 150 (shown in FIG. 3) may be located on surface 202.

The second housing 180 of the electronic device 101 may include a surface 251 and a surface 252 opposite to the surface 251. For example, the second display area 142 may be located on the surface 251 .

The hinge structure of the electronic device 101 may provide an axis 155. For example, at least a portion of the hinge structure may be included within hinge housing 365 (shown within FIG. 3).

For example, the electronic device 101 may provide state 290 as one of the plurality of states. For example, state 290 may represent a state in which the first direction 211 toward which the surface 201 faces is substantially the same as the second direction 212 toward which the surface 251 faces. For example, state 290 may represent a state in which the angle 293 between the surface 201 and the surface 251 is about 180 degrees.

For example, the electronic device 101 may provide state 370 as another state among the plurality of states. For example, state 370 may represent a state in which the first direction 211 is substantially opposite to the second direction 212 . For example, state 370 may represent a state in which the angle 373 between the surface 201 and the surface 251 is approximately 0 degrees.

Although not shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 , the electronic device 101 may provide an intermediate state between state 290 and state 370 . For example, the intermediate state may include a state in which the first direction 211 is perpendicular to the second direction 212. However, it is not limited to this.

Referring to FIGS. 4 and 5 , the electronic device 101 may have a vertical axis 455 in the portrait mode. For example, the electronic device 101 may change one state among the plurality of states to another state among the plurality of states.

The first housing 160 of the electronic device 101 may include a surface 201 and a surface 202 opposite to the surface 201. For example, the first display area 141 may be located on the surface 201.

The second housing 180 of the electronic device 101 may include a surface 251 and a surface 252 opposite to the surface 251. For example, the second display area 142 may be located on the surface 251 . For example, although not shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 , another display distinct from display 140 may be located on surface 252 .

The hinge structure of the electronic device 101 may provide an axis 455. For example, at least a portion of the hinge structure may be included within hinge housing 365 (shown within FIG. 3).

For example, the electronic device 101 may provide state 490 as one of the plurality of states. For example, state 490 may represent a state in which the first direction 211 toward which the surface 201 faces is substantially the same as the second direction 212 toward which the surface 251 faces. For example, state 490 may represent a state in which the angle 293 between the surface 201 and the surface 251 is approximately 180 degrees.

For example, the electronic device 101 may provide state 570 as another state among the plurality of states. For example, state 570 may represent a state in which the first direction 211 is substantially opposite to the second direction 212 . For example, state 570 may represent a state in which the angle 373 between the surface 201 and the surface 251 is approximately 0 degrees.

Although not shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 , the electronic device 101 may provide an intermediate state between state 490 and state 570 . For example, the intermediate state may include a state in which the first direction 211 is perpendicular to the second direction 212. However, it is not limited to this.

Referring to FIG. 6 , the flexible display 140 of the electronic device 101 may be foldable based on an axis (eg, axis 155 or axis 455). For example, the electronic device 101 can be in a plurality of states through the flexible display 140 that is foldable about the axis.

For example, the flexible display 140 may include a first display area 141 and a second display area 142 extending from the first display area 141. For example, since the display 140 can be folded based on the axis, the angle between the first display area 141 and the second display area 142 (or the direction toward which the first display area 141 faces) The angle between the directions toward which the second display area 142 faces can be changed. The electronic device 101 may have a plurality of states depending on the angle. For example, a reference range may be set within the electronic device 101 to identify the plurality of states. For example, the reference range may include a first reference range for identifying the angle between 0 degrees and angle 630 and a second reference range for identifying the angle between angle 630 and angle 660. It can be included. For example, the first state among the plurality of states may be a state in which the angle is within the first reference range. For example, the second state among the plurality of states may be a state in which the angle is outside the first reference range and the second reference range. For example, the third state among the plurality of states may be a state in which the angle is within the second reference range. For example, the third state among the plurality of states may be a state in which the angle is within the second reference range and a portrait mode is provided. For example, the third state among the plurality of states may be a state in which the angle is within the second reference range and a landscape mode is provided. However, it is not limited to this.

Referring again to FIG. 1A , the electronic device 101 may use a change in the angle between the first housing 160 and the second housing 180 as an input for obtaining, creating, or displaying an additional window. For example, the electronic device 101 may obtain, generate, or display the additional window based at least in part on the change in the angle. Displaying the additional window based at least in part on the change in the angle can be illustrated through FIG. 7 .

7 is a flow diagram illustrating an example method of displaying a first window and a second window based on a change in the angle between the first and second housings.

Referring to FIG. 7 , in operation 701, the processor 120 may display a first window (or view) having a first size through the display area. For example, the processor 120 may acquire the first process (or task) in response to execution of a software application. For example, the first process may represent a unit of execution for displaying the first window. For example, processor 120 may display the first window of the software application based on obtaining the first process. For example, the first size may correspond to the display area including the first display area and the second display area.

At operation 703, the processor 120 causes a change in the angle between the first housing 160 and the second housing 180 that is greater than a threshold angle while the first window having the first size is displayed, comprising: It can be identified through at least one sensor 130.

For example, the threshold angle can be used to identify whether a change in the angle has been caused to obtain or display an additional window (e.g., the second window illustrated below). For example, that the change in angle is greater than the threshold angle may indicate that the change in angle may be for displaying the additional window. For example, the change in angle being less than or equal to the threshold angle may indicate that the change in angle may not be for displaying the additional window. For example, the fact that the angle change is less than or equal to the critical angle may mean a change in angle that is different from the user's intention (e.g., a change in angle due to an external impact), so the processor 120 can compare the critical angle and the change in the angle. However, it is not limited to this.

For example, the processor 120 may, based on obtaining data from at least one sensor 130 indicating that the angle changes from a first angle to a second angle different from the first angle, be greater than the threshold angle. Large, the change in the angle can be identified. For example, the difference between the first angle and the second angle may be greater than the threshold angle. For example, the processor 120 may receive data indicating that the angle changes from the first angle to the second angle and then changes from the second angle to a third angle different from the second angle from at least one sensor. Based on the obtained, the change in the angle that is greater than the threshold angle can be identified. For example, the third angle may be the same as the first angle or may be different from the first angle. For example, the third angle may be the same as the first angle and different from the second angle, or may be different from the first angle and the second angle. The change in the angle can be illustrated through FIG. 8.

Figure 8 shows an example of changing the angle between the first and second housings.

Referring to FIG. 8 , the angle between the first housing 160 and the second housing 180 may be a first angle 801, such as state 800.

For example, the angle may change from the first angle 801 to the second angle 802 depending on the first housing 160 being rotated in the first direction 811 with respect to the second housing 180. there is. For example, the difference between the first angle 801 and the second angle 802 may be greater than the threshold angle 805. For example, the processor 120 may, based on obtaining data from at least one sensor 130 indicating a change from the first angle 801 to the second angle 802, determine the The change in the angle can be identified.

For example, the angle may change from a first angle 801 to a second angle 803 as the first housing 160 is rotated in the second direction 812 with respect to the second housing 180. You can. For example, the difference between the first angle 801 and the second angle 803 may be greater than the threshold angle 805. For example, the processor 120 may, based on obtaining data from at least one sensor 130 indicating a change from the first angle 801 to the second angle 803, determine the The change in the angle can be identified.

For example, the angle between the first housing 160 and the second housing 180 may be a first angle 851, such as state 850.

For example, the angle may be a first angle 851, with the first housing 160 being rotated relative to the second housing 180 in the second direction 852 and then in the first direction 853. It can be changed from the second angle 854 to the third angle 855. For example, the difference between the first angle 851 and the second angle 854 may be less than the threshold angle 856. For example, the difference between the second angle 854 and the third angle 855 may be greater than the threshold angle 856. For example, since the difference between the second angle 854 and the third angle 855 is greater than the threshold angle 856, the processor 120 may determine the difference between the first angle 851 and the second angle 854. Based on obtaining data representing the change to the third angle 855 from at least one sensor 130, the change in the angle greater than the threshold angle 856 may be identified.

For example, the angle may be a first angle 851, with the first housing 160 being rotated relative to the second housing 180 in the first direction 853 and then in the second direction 852. It can be changed from the second angle 857 to the third angle 858. For example, the difference between the first angle 851 and the second angle 857 may be less than the threshold angle 856. For example, the difference between the second angle 857 and the third angle 858 may be greater than the threshold angle 856. For example, since the difference between the second angle 857 and the third angle 858 is greater than the threshold angle 856, the processor 120 may determine the difference between the first angle 851 and the second angle 857. Based on obtaining data representing the change to the third angle 858 from at least one sensor 130, the change in the angle greater than the threshold angle 856 may be identified.

Referring again to FIG. 7, when the change in the angle includes a plurality of changes in the angle, as in state 850, the processor 120 determines one (a) change of the plurality of changes. By identifying that the corresponding angle is greater than the threshold angle, operation 703 can be executed. For example, when the change in the angle includes a plurality of changes in the angle, the processor 120 identifies that the angle corresponding to the last change among the plurality of changes is greater than the threshold angle, Operation 703 may be executed. For example, when the change in the angle includes a plurality of changes in the angle, the processor 120 operates by identifying that the angle corresponding to the first change among the plurality of changes is greater than the threshold angle. 703 can be executed. However, it is not limited to this.

At operation 705, processor 120 may identify whether the change in the angle, which is greater than the threshold angle, was performed in less than a reference time. For example, the reference time can be used to identify whether the change in the angle was caused to display an additional window (eg, the second window illustrated below). For example, the change in the angle performed during a first time that is longer than or equal to the reference time may indicate that the identification in operation 703 is not intended to display the additional window. For example, the change in the angle performed during the first time may include the identification in operation 703 displaying the additional window and changing the state of the electronic device 101. ) can indicate that it is for changing the state of For example, the change in the angle performed during a second time that is shorter than the reference time may indicate that the identification in operation 703 is for displaying the additional window. For example, the reference time may be about 0.5 seconds. However, it is not limited to this.

For example, identification (or measurement) of the time at which the change in the angle was performed can be set in various ways. For example, the processor 120 may identify the time interval from the start timing of the change in the angle to the end timing of the change in the angle as the time at which the change in the angle was performed. For example, the processor 120 may identify the time interval from the timing at which the determined time has elapsed from the start timing to the end timing as the time at which the change in the angle was performed. For example, the processor 120 may identify the time interval from the start timing to the end timing to the timing at which the determined time has elapsed as the time at which the change in the angle was performed. For example, the processor 120 may change the angle from the timing at which the housing (e.g., the first housing 160 or the second housing 180) of the electronic device 101 is gripped to the end timing. The time interval of may be identified as the time at which the change in the angle was performed. However, it is not limited to this.

For example, processor 120 may execute operation 709 based on the change in the angle during the first time and execute operation 707 based on the change in the angle during the second time. You can.

Figure 8 shows an example of identifying the change in the angle using the reference time in operation 705, but this is for convenience of explanation.

Operation 705 may be performed through a comparison between the speed at which the angle changes and a reference speed. For example, processor 120 compares the maximum rate of change of the angle with the reference rate and executes operation 707 based on the maximum rate being higher than the reference rate and lower than or above the reference rate. Operation 709 may be executed based on the maximum speed, such as a reference speed. For example, processor 120 compares the minimum rate of change of the angle with the reference rate and executes operation 707 based on the minimum rate being higher than the reference rate and being lower than or above the reference rate. Operation 709 may be executed based on the minimum speed, such as a reference speed. For example, processor 120 compares the average rate of change in the angle with the reference rate and executes operation 707 based on the average rate being higher than the reference rate and lower than the reference rate. Operation 709 may be executed based on the average speed, such as speed. For example, processor 120 compares the starting speed of the change in the angle with the reference speed and executes operation 707 based on the starting speed being higher than the reference speed and being lower than the reference speed or the reference speed. Operation 709 may be executed based on the starting speed, such as speed. For example, the processor 120 compares the speed just before the change of the angle is completed with the reference speed, and executes operation 707 based on the speed being higher than the reference speed and lower than the reference speed. Operation 709 may be executed based on the speed, such as the reference speed.

In operation 707, the processor 120 configures the first window and the second window to have a second size smaller than the first size, on the condition that the change in the angle, which is greater than the threshold angle, is performed shorter than the reference time. A window can be displayed through the display area. For example, the second window may be displayed based on a second process that is an additional process executed in response to the change in the angle performed during the second time period. For example, the second process may represent a unit of execution for displaying the second window. For example, the second window may have a size substantially the same as the second size. For example, the second window may have a size different from the second size.

For example, the second size may be smaller than the first size. For example, the size of the first window displayed in operation 707 may be the reduced size of the first window displayed in operation 701.

For example, the arrangement of contents (or visual objects) within the first window having the second size may be different from the arrangement of contents within the first window having the first size. For example, the first window having the second size may provide at least part of the information provided through the first window having the first size. For example, some of the contents in the first window having the first size may be excluded from the first window having the second size. For example, the size of each content in the first window having the second size may be smaller than the size of each content in the first window having the first size. For example, at least some of the contents in the first window having the second size may have a reduced size. However, it is not limited to this.

For example, the software application that provides the second window may be the same as or different from the software application that provides the first window. For example, the first window and the second window may be provided through one software application or may be provided through different software applications.

For example, the second window may be related to the first window. For example, the second window may provide a service corresponding to the service provided through the first window. For example, the second window may provide in detail some of the information provided through the first window. For example, the second window may provide a function for controlling the first window. For example, the second window may provide additional functions to the first window. However, it is not limited to this.

The display of the first window and the second window having the second size can be illustrated through FIG. 9.

Figure 9 shows an example of a first window and a second window.

Referring to FIG. 9, in state 900, the processor 120 may display a first window 901 having the first size through the display area. For example, the first window 901 may include a web page. For example, the first window 901 may be a window provided from a software application for an Internet browser service. For example, the first window 901 may be a window provided from a software application that displays a web page for another service. However, it is not limited to this.

In one embodiment, processor 120 transitions state 900 to state 930 based on identifying that the change in the angle greater than the threshold angle was performed during the second time less than the reference time. You can change it.

Within state 930, the processor 120 may display the first window 901 and the second window 902 having the second size through the display area. For example, the first window 901 having the second size may be displayed through the first display area 141, and the second window 902 may be displayed through the second display area 142. there is.

FIG. 9 shows a first window 901 having the second size displayed through the first display area 141 and a second window 902 displayed through the second display area 142. This is for convenience of explanation. For example, the first window 901 having the second size may be displayed through the second display area 142 and the second window 902 may be displayed through the first display area 141. However, it is not limited to this.

FIG. 9 shows an example in which the size of the first window 901 (e.g., the second size) is the same as the size of the second window 902 in the state 930, but this is for convenience of explanation. For example, the size of the first window 901 displayed within the state 903 may be different from the size of the second window 902. However, it is not limited to this.

For example, the second window 902 is a window related to the first window 901 and can be implemented in various ways. For example, the second window 902, unlike the first window 901 including a web page, may include executable objects 931 for displaying web pages that are different from the web page. there is. For example, at least some of the executable objects 931 may be included in the second window 902 according to user input. For example, the second window 902, unlike the first window 901 including the web page, may include a text input portion 932 for a search function. For example, the second window 902 may include content 933 on the determined website. For example, the second window 902 is related to the service provided through the first window 901 and is a window for providing other information that is distinct from the information provided through the first window 901. , may be referred to as a quick access panel.

For example, the second window 902 may have various types. The various types can be illustrated through FIG. 10.

10 shows examples of various types of second windows.

Referring to FIG. 10 , the second window 902 may include a web page 1001 provided through the first window 901 . For example, in order to provide multiple services for the web page 1001, the second window 902 may include the web page 1001 provided through the first window 901.

For example, the second window 902 may include a web page 1002 that is different from the web page provided through the first window 901. For example, the web page 1002 may be a web page that provides a search function. For example, the web page 1002 may be a web page of a portal site. For example, the web page 1002 may be included in the second window 902 based on user settings.

For example, the second window 902 includes text 1003 translated from the first language into the second language, unlike the first window 901 that includes text written in the first language. can do. For example, the second window 902 may include content (eg, text 1003) obtained by executing a translation function on the first window 901.

For example, the second window 902 may include a web page 1004 of the determined website. For example, the second window 902 may include a web page 1004 to provide access to a website that the user frequently accesses.

For example, the second window 902 may include executable objects 1005 for respectively displaying web pages that were displayed before the web page displayed within the first window 901. For example, the second window 902 may include executable objects 1005 to enhance user convenience.

For example, the second window 902 may include executable objects 1006 for displaying web pages provided through tabs set within the first window 901, respectively. For example, an executable object for a web page displayed within the first window 901 may be excluded from the executable objects 1006. However, it is not limited to this.

For example, the second window 902 may include executable objects 1007 for respectively providing images within the webpage in the first window 901. For example, at least some of the images may be static images or dynamic images. For example, the second window 902 including the executable objects 1007 may state that the state of the electronic device 101 is the third state defined through the description of FIG. 6 after the change of the angle is completed. In this case, it may be displayed through the first display area 141. However, it is not limited to this. For example, each of the executable objects 1007 may include a thumbnail image for each of the images. However, it is not limited to this.

For example, the second window 902 may include one image 1008 among the images in the web page in the first window 901. For example, the second window 902 including the image 1008 may be displayed when the state of the electronic device 101 is the third state defined through the description of FIG. 6 after the change in the angle is completed. It may be displayed through the first display area 141. However, it is not limited to this. For example, image 1008 may be an image located in the upper left corner of the web page within the first window 901 among the images. For example, image 1008 may be a focused image among the images. However, it is not limited to this.

For example, the second window 902 may include a web page 1009 provided through a second tab that is distinct from the first tab that provides a web page displayed within the first window 901. . For example, the second window 902 may include a web page 1009 to simplify user input for switching from the first tab to the second tab. However, it is not limited to this.

Referring again to FIG. 7 , in operation 709, the processor 120 selects the first size, on the condition that the change in the angle, which is greater than the threshold angle, is performed longer than or equal to the reference time. The display of the first window can be maintained. For example, because the change in the angle performed during the first time is longer than or equal to the reference time indicates that the change in angle is not for displaying an additional window. 120 may maintain the display of the first window having the first size. The maintenance of the display of the first window can be illustrated through FIG. 9 .

Referring to FIG. 9 , processor 120 may maintain state 900 based on identifying that the change in the angle greater than the threshold angle is performed for the first time longer than the reference time. For example, the processor 120 may ignore data indicating that the change in the angle greater than the threshold angle is performed for the first time longer than the reference time. However, it is not limited to this.

Although not shown in FIG. 7 , the processor 120 may maintain displaying the first window 901 having the first size based on a change in the angle that is less than or equal to the threshold angle. For example, the processor 120 may maintain state 900 based on a change in the angle that is less than or equal to the threshold angle.

As described above, the electronic device 101 receives an input for an additional window (e.g., the second window) through a change in the angle between the first housing 160 and the second housing 180, can be identified. Because the change in the angle may be a simplified input, the electronic device 101, which provides an environment more appropriately configured for a single window, can, through identification of the change in the angle, obtain or display multiple windows. The amount of computation for processing received inputs can be reduced.

Referring back to Figure 1, processor 120 may, based on the change in the angle during the second time and the posture of the first housing 160 after the change in angle is performed, create an additional window, It is possible to identify whether to display or obtain the second window. Identifying whether to display or obtain the second window based on the change in the angle and the posture of the first housing 160 during the second time can be illustrated through FIG. 11 .

11 is a flow diagram illustrating an example method of displaying a first window and a second window based on the posture of the first housing.

Referring to FIG. 11, in operation 1101, the processor 120 determines whether the posture of the first housing 160 after the change in the angle corresponds to the reference posture through at least one sensor 130. can be identified. For example, the reference posture may be used to identify whether the first display area 141 of the first display area 141 and the second display area 142 is facing the user's gaze. For example, the reference posture may represent a posture of the first housing 160 in which the direction in which the first housing 160 faces (eg, the first direction 211) is perpendicular to the ground. However, it is not limited to this.

For example, the processor 120 may execute operation 1101, conditional on identifying that the state of the electronic device 101 after the change in the angle is performed is the third state defined through the description of FIG. 6. You can. However, it is not limited to this.

For example, the processor 120 may execute operation 1103 based on data representing the posture of the first housing 160 corresponding to the reference posture. For example, the processor 120 may execute operation 1105 based on data indicating the posture of the first housing 160 that is different from the reference posture.

In operation 1103, the processor 120 displays the first window having the second size through the second display area 142 under the condition that the posture is the reference posture, and displays the second window as the first window. It can be displayed through the display area 141. For example, the processor 120 determines that the state of the electronic device 101 after the change in the angle is performed is the third state, the posture is the reference posture, and the change in the angle is performed. Based on what was performed during the second time, the first window may be displayed through the second display area 142 and the second window may be displayed through the first display area 141.

For example, the processor 120 may, in response to the data representing the reference posture and the change in the angle during the second time, display the first window having the first size displayed through the display area. An animation moving to the second display area 142 and an animation causing the second window to appear from the edge of the first display area 141 according to the movement of the first window may be displayed. However, it is not limited to this.

For example, the second window may include executable objects 1007 or images 1008 of FIG. 10 . However, it is not limited to this.

In operation 1105, the processor 120 may maintain displaying the first window having the first size through the display area under a condition where the posture is different from the reference posture. For example, the processor 120 may display the first window having the second size in the second display area based on data indicating the difference from the reference posture and the change in the angle during the second time. and may refrain from displaying the second window through the first display area. For example, because the posture being different from the reference posture may correspond to a user intention indicating to maintain displaying the first window having the first size, the processor 120 may adjust the first size to The branch may maintain the display of the first window.

As described above, the electronic device 101 can obtain or display an additional window by identifying the posture of the first housing 160 as well as the change in the angle. For example, because the identification can reduce the possibility that displaying the additional window is executed differently from the user's intention, the electronic device 101 reduces the load on the electronic device 101 due to unintended execution. can be reduced.

Referring again to FIG. 1 , the processor 120 may identify one window among a plurality of windows displayable within the electronic device 101 as an additional window. Identifying the window can be illustrated through FIGS. 12A and 12B.

FIG. 12A is a flowchart illustrating an example method of displaying a first window and a second window based on a touch input.

Figure 12b shows an example of a second window displayed based on a touch input.

Referring to FIG. 12A, in operation 1201, the processor 120 may receive a touch input for one (a) visual object among a plurality of visual objects included in the first window having the first size. there is. For example, referring to FIG. 126B, in state 1210, the processor 120 may display the first window 1211 having the first size through the display area. For example, the processor 120 may receive a touch input 1214 indicating selection of one visual object 1213 among a plurality of visual objects 1212 in the first window 1211. For example, the touch input 1214 may be an input having a contact point on the visual object 1213.

Referring again to FIG. 12A , at operation 1203, processor 120 may identify the change in the angle performed during the second time while the touch input for the visual object is maintained. For example, processor 120 may identify the change in the angle performed during the second time period through at least one sensor 130 while the point of contact on the visual object is maintained. For example, referring to Figure 12B, processor 120 may identify, within state 1210, the change in the angle performed during the second time within a state in which touch input 1214 is maintained. there is.

Referring again to FIG. 12A , at operation 1205, processor 120 operates, based on the change in the angle performed during the second time while the touch input is maintained, to determine the second size. One window and the second window for the visual object may be displayed through the display area. For example, the second window may include the visual object and at least one other visual object related to the visual object. For example, the second window may be a window that provides a function corresponding to the visual object. For example, when the visual object for which the touch input is received is a link connected to another web page, the second window may include the other web page.

For example, the processor 120 may display remaining visual objects excluding the visual object among the plurality of visual objects within the first window having the second size. However, it is not limited to this.

For example, referring to Figure 12B, the processor 120, in response to the change in the angle performed during the second time while the touch input 1214 is maintained, changes state 1210 to state ( 1230). For example, within state 1230, the processor 120 may display a first window 1211 having the second size and a second window 1232 corresponding to the visual object 1213 through the display area. It can be displayed. For example, visual object 1213 may be removed from first window 1211.

Although not shown in FIGS. 12A and 12B, the processor 120 determines the change in the angle performed during the second time after the touch input to the visual object is released or the touch input to the visual object is received. The first window and the second window having the second size may be displayed based on the change in the angle performed during the second time before the change in the angle occurs. For example, the second window may be a window for providing a determined function that is distinct from the function of the visual object.

As described above, the electronic device 101 can identify the type of the additional window by associating the change in angle with a touch input for display of the additional window. For example, the identification of the type of the additional window can provide an enhanced user experience.

Referring again to FIG. 1, the processor 120 may identify whether content of the determined type is included in the first window. Identifying whether the content of the predetermined type is included within the first window can be illustrated through FIG. 13 .

FIG. 13 is a flow diagram illustrating an example method of displaying a first window and a second window based on whether content of a determined type is contained within the first window.

Referring to FIG. 13, in operation 1301, the processor 120 may identify whether content of the determined type is included in the first window having the first size. For example, when the determined type of content is displayed in a separate window (e.g., a second window) that is distinct from the first window, it provides higher quality than when displayed within the first window. It may be content that does. For example, the determined type of content may be content whose quality is enhanced when displayed in an enlarged size. For example, the determined type of content may be content whose quality is enhanced when displayed independently from other content. For example, the determined type of content may be a static image or a dynamic image. However, it is not limited to this.

For example, processor 120 executes operation 1303 based on the first window having the first size containing the determined type of content and the change in the angle performed during the second time period and , based on the first window having the first size containing at least one content of another type distinct from the determined type of content and the change in the angle performed during the second time, execute operation 1305. You can.

In operation 1303, the processor 120 configures the second size on the condition that the content of the determined type is contained within the first window having the first size and the change of the angle is performed during the second time. The first window having and the second window including the determined type of content or an executable object for displaying the determined type of content may be displayed. For example, display of the content of the determined type within the first window may be discontinued. However, it is not limited to this.

In operation 1305, the processor 120 configures the first window on the condition that other content distinct from the determined type is included in the first window having the first size and the change in the angle is performed during the second time. The display of the first window having a size of 1 can be maintained. For example, the processor 120 may maintain the display of the first window having the first size by refraining from executing an additional process (e.g., a second process) for displaying the second window. .

As described above, the electronic device 101 determines whether the determined type of content, which provides higher immersion when displayed within an independent space, is included in the first window with the change in the angle. By identifying, an enhanced user experience can be provided with respect to the execution of additional processes.

Referring again to FIG. 1, while displaying multiple windows, the processor 120 may identify whether it is possible to display an additional window different from the multiple windows. For example, the processor 120 may perform the identification to reduce malfunctions due to limitations in the load of the electronic device 101 or the size of the flexible display 140. The identification can be illustrated through FIGS. 14 and 15.

14 is a flow diagram illustrating an example method of displaying a third window depending on whether an additional window is available.

Figure 15 shows an example of a third window, which is an additional window.

Referring to FIG. 14, in operation 1401, the processor 120 may display the first window and the second window having the second size. For example, operation 1401 may correspond to operation 707 of FIG. 7 .

In operation 1402, the processor 120 performs another operation of the angle greater than the threshold angle, performed during the second time while the first window having the second size and the second window are displayed. ) changes can be identified. For example, the different changes in the angle may be identified through at least one sensor 130 .

At operation 1403, processor 120 may identify whether an additional window is available (or displayable) based on the other change in angle.

For example, processor 120 may identify whether the additional window is available by identifying the load on processor 120 in response to the different changes in the angle. For example, processor 120 may identify that the additional window is available based on identifying that the load is below a reference load, and otherwise identify that the additional window is unavailable. However, it is not limited to this.

For example, the processor 120 may identify the size of each of the objects (or windows) in frame data provided to the flexible display 140 for display through the display area in response to the different changes in the angle. By doing so, it is possible to identify whether the additional window is available. For example, processor 120 may identify that the additional window is available based on identifying that the size of each of the objects is greater than a reference size, and otherwise identify that the additional window is not available. can do.

For example, processor 120 may execute operation 1405 based on identifying that the additional window is available and execute operation 1407 based on identifying that the additional window is not available. there is.

In operation 1405, the processor 120 determines that the additional window is available, along with the first window having the second size and the second window having a reduced size, on the condition that the additional window is available. displaying, through the display area, a third window corresponding to a third process executed (or acquired) in response to identifying, or the first window and the second window having a third size smaller than the second size; The third window can be displayed together with .

For example, referring to FIG. 15, in state 1500, the processor 120 may display a first window 1501 and a second window 1502 having the second size. Processor 120 may change state 1500 to state 1510 or state 1520 based on identifying the additional window as available through operation 1403.

Within state 1510, the processor 120 may display a third window 1523 along with the first window 1501 having the second size and the second window 1502 having the reduced size. For example, the processor 120 may maintain the size of the first window 1501, which is the window that most recently received user input among the first window 1501 and the second window 1502, at the second size. . For example, the processor 120 may display the third window 1523 within the space within the display area formed by reducing the size of the second window 1502.

Within state 1520, processor 120 may display a third window 1523 along with a second window 1502 and a first window 1501 having the third size. For example, the processor 120 may maintain the size of the second window 1502, which is the window that most recently received user input among the first window 1501 and the second window 1502. For example, second window 1502 may be moved to maintain its size when changing from state 1500 to state 1520. However, it is not limited to this. For example, the processor 120 may display the third window 1523 within the space within the display area formed by reducing the size of the first window 1501.

Although not shown in Figure 15, processor 120 may provide another state distinct from state 1510 and state 1520 based on identifying the additional window as available through operation 1403. there is. For example, the processor 120 may display a third window 1523 together with a first window 1501 having the third size and a second window 1502 having a reduced size.

Referring again to Figure 14, at operation 1407, processor 120 performs the display of the first window and the second window having the second size based on identifying the additional window as unavailable. can be maintained. For example, processor 120 may refrain from acquiring, executing, or creating the third process.

As described above, the electronic device 101 may identify whether an additional window is available based on the different changes in the angle. For example, through such identification, the electronic device 101 can reduce malfunctions of the electronic device 101 caused by creating or executing the additional window.

Referring again to FIG. 1, the processor 120 may adaptively change the display of a window according to a change in the state of the electronic device 101. For example, if the electronic device 101 includes a display 150, the processor 120 may, based on the change in the state of the electronic device 101 and the input received through the display 150, The display of windows can be changed adaptively. The change can be illustrated through FIGS. 16 and 17.

FIG. 16 is a flowchart illustrating an example method of displaying a first window and a second window according to a change in the state of an example electronic device.

17 illustrates an example of a first window displayed according to a change in the state of an exemplary electronic device.

Referring to FIG. 16 , in operation 1601, the processor 120 may display executable objects on the display 150 while the electronic device 101 is in the first state. For example, the first state may represent the first state illustrated through the description of FIG. 6. For example, the first state may represent a state in which the first display area 141 and the second display area 142 overlap. However, it is not limited to this. For example, the executable objects can be used to respectively represent web pages. For example, referring to FIG. 17 , within state 1700, processor 120 may display executable objects 1710 through display 150. For example, executable objects 1710 may be used to display the web pages respectively through the flexible display 140 in response to a touch input.

Referring again to FIG. 16, in operation 1603, the processor 120 may receive an input indicating that one of the executable objects is selected. For example, referring to FIG. 17 , within state 1700, processor 120 may receive input 1720 for an executable object 1715 among executable objects 1710. For example, processor 120 may identify a function that corresponds to executable object 1715 identified by input 1720. For example, in response to the identification, the processor 120 prefetches a process corresponding to the function into the non-volatile memory (e.g., non-volatile memory 2034 of FIG. 20) of the electronic device 101. )can do. For example, the prefetch can be performed to provide faster response speed. However, it is not limited to this.

Referring again to FIG. 16 , at operation 1605, the processor 120 determines whether, after the input is received, the state of the electronic device 101 changes from the first state to the second state or from the first state to the second state. Whether it changes to state 3 can be identified through at least one sensor 130. For example, the second state may be the second state defined through the description of FIG. 6. For example, the second state may represent a state in which the first display area 141 and the second display area 142 form one plane. For example, the third state may be the third state defined through the description of FIG. 6.

For example, the processor 120 may execute operation 1607 based on a change from the first state to the second state and execute operation 1609 based on a change from the first state to the third state. You can. Although not shown in FIG. 16 , the processor 120 performs the executable operation, such as operation 1601, while the state of the electronic device 101 is maintained in the first state after the input is received in operation 1603. You can keep objects visible. However, it is not limited to this.

In operation 1607, the processor 120 configures the webpage that includes the webpage represented by the executable object for which the input was received, on the condition that the first state changes to the second state after the input is received. The first window having a first size may be displayed through the display area. For example, referring to FIG. 17 , the processor 120 may change state 1700 to state 1730 based on the input and the change from the first state to the second state. Within state 1730, processor 120 may display a first window 1731 containing a webpage corresponding to the executable object 1715 for which input 1720 was received. For example, the first window 1731 may include text 1733 and video 1732. However, it is not limited to this.

Although not shown in FIG. 16 , processor 120 may change state 1730 to state 1770 in response to identifying a change of the second state to the first state.

For example, the video 1732 in the second window 1752 may have an enlarged size. For example, the first window 1731 having the second size displayed through the second display area 142 may include part of the text 1733. For example, the first window 1731 having the second size may further include an area 1753 for controlling the video 1732 within the second window 1752. For example, because the second display area 142 has a more suitable posture for receiving user input than the first display area 141 in the third state, the processor 120 adjusts the second display area 142 to the second size. The area 1753 can be displayed within the first window 1731 having .

FIG. 17 shows an example in which the second window 1752 includes a video 1732 in the state 1750, but this is for convenience of explanation.
