102 or 104 and/or the server 108 of FIG. 1 ). and/or video content stored in the memory 310 .

For example, the processor 320 determines that the folding angle of the first housing and the second housing is included in a specified angle range (eg, about 20 degrees to about 170 degrees) in a state where the first content is displayed on the display module 304 . In this case, the operation mode of the electronic device 300 may be switched to the content creation mode.

For example, the processor 302 determines that the folding angle of the first housing and the second housing is included in a designated angle range (eg, about 20 degrees to about 170 degrees) in a state where the first content is displayed on the display module 304 . In this case, the display module 304 (eg, the first display 270 of FIG. 2A ) may be controlled to display a graphic user interface (GUI) related to the content creation mode conversion. When the processor 302 obtains (or receives) an “accept” input through the graphical user interface related to the conversion of the content creation mode displayed on the display module 304, the processor 302 changes the operation mode of the electronic device 300 to the content creation mode. can be switched For example, the graphic user interface related to the content creation mode may be displayed to overlap at least a part of the first content.
