An electronic device comprising:
- a display for displaying:
- first contents in a first area of the display, and
- second contents in a second area of the display adjacent to the first area;
- and
- at least one processor configured, in response to a first screen change event, to:
- expand and display the first contents in a part of the second area in place of the second contents corresponding to the part of the second area, and
- display third contents in a remainder of the second area in place of the second contents corresponding to the remainder of the second area,
- wherein the remainder of the second area is an edge area of the second area located on an opposite side of the first area,
- wherein the second contents and the third contents are different, and
- wherein the third contents include an object or user interface associated with the first contents.
A method for displaying of an electronic device, the method comprising:
- displaying first contents in a first area of a display;
- displaying second contents in a second area of the display adjacent to the first area;
- and
