The first surface has a bracket groove recessed therefrom. The main unit is provided with a bracket capable of rotating into or out of the bracket groove. When the bracket is rotated out of the bracket groove, the first sub unit is mountable to the first surface, the second sub unit is capable of detachably leaning against the bracket, and a first angle between a touch surface of the touch screen and a display surface of the second sub unit is greater than 90°. When the bracket is rotated into the bracket groove, the first sub unit is mountable to the first surface, and the second sub unit is detachably mountable to the second surface.

A portable electronic device may include: a foldable housing comprising a first housing and a second housing; a hinge assembly connecting the first housing and the second housing and enabling the first housing and the second housing to rotate; a sensor circuit; and a processor connected to the sensor circuit. The hinge assembly can comprise: at least one motor; and a detent for switching a first resistance state of the foldable housing to a second resistance state, in which resistance against the rotation is lower than that the first resistance state, by using power transferred from the at least one motor. The processor can: recognize that the foldable housing is being opened or closed on the basis of data received from the sensor circuit; and, on the basis of at least recognizing that the foldable housing is being opened or closed, control the at least one motor to switch the first resistance state of the foldable housing to the second resistance state. Various other embodiments are also possible.

A user terminal device and a displaying method thereof are provided. The user terminal device includes a display configured to display a first screen on a display which is divided by a folding line into a first area and a second area, the second area being larger than the first area with reference to a folding line and including an exposure area that is exposed while the display is folded along the folding line such that the first area faces the second area, a detector configured to detect, while the first screen is displayed, a first folding interaction of folding the display such that the first area faces the second area and a second folding interaction of folding the display such that a first cover corresponding to the first area faces a second cover corresponding to the second area, and a controller configured to, in response to detecting the first folding interaction, display a second screen related to the first screen on the exposure area, and in response to the second folding interaction being detected, display a third screen related to the first screen on the first area or the second area.

An electronic device may include a sensor; a display; and a processor operatively connected to the sensor and the display, wherein the processor may be configured to determine the feature of a context included in a user interface (UI) component on the basis of an analysis result of the UI component, determine a display direction of the contents displayed on the display on the basis of the feature of the context and the posture of the electronic device, identify a rotation angle of the electronic device through a sensor in accordance with a change in the posture of the electronic device in a state that the contents are displayed on the display, and change the display direction of the contents on the basis of identifying that the rotation angle is equal to or greater than a first value. The first value may be configured differently in accordance with the feature of the context.

The invention relates to a method includes selecting a plurality of call-related icons on a first display in a folded state and switching the mobile phone to an open state, a screen of the second display is divided according to the number of call-related icons selected by the user, and each application corresponding to the selected call-related icon is displayed on the divided second display.

An example electronic device includes a housing including a first housing, a second housing, and a third housing; a hinge part including a first hinge part and a second hinge part; a display including a first area arranged in the first housing, a second area arranged in the second housing, and a third area arranged in the third housing; at least one sensor; a communication module; a processor; and a memory, wherein the memory may store instructions that, when executed, cause the processor to: detect, through the at least one sensor, whether a state of the electronic device is changed from a first state or a second state to a third state in which the second housing is expanded by a predetermined angle or more with respect to the first housing and the third housing centering on the hinge part; identify, through the communication module, whether an external electronic device has established communication with or is capable of establishing communication with the electronic device when it is detected that the state of the electronic device is changed to the third state; identify the type of an external electronic device based on identifying that an external electronic device that has established communication with or is capable of establishing communication with the electronic device; and display, through the first area, the second area, and the third area of the display, a screen corresponding to a first mode or a screen corresponding to a second mode different from the first mode, based on the type of the external electronic device.
