Abstract
An electronic device is disclosed. An electronic device according to one embodiment can comprise: a first display for displaying first content; a second display sliding on the first display and displaying second content; and a processor configured to display at least one piece of content related to the first content and the second content on the first display and the second display according to the overlapping of the first display and the second display according to the sliding.
Claims12
An electronic device comprising:
- a first display displaying first content;
- a second display sliding on the first display, and displaying second content;
- and
- at least one processor configured to display at least one piece of content related to at least one of the first content or the second content on at least one of the first display or the second display, according to an overlap between the first display and the second display, incurred by the sliding,
- wherein, based on the second display being slid so as to overlap with the first display over a partial area, the at least one processor is further configured to:
- display, in the partial area on the second display, guide information indicating a first direction and a second direction, and
- wherein, based on the second display being slid in the first direction so as to either overlap wholly with the first display or based on the second display being slid in the second direction so as to decrease at least the partial area, the at least one processor is further configured to:
- execute an application related to the second content being displayed on the second display, and
- display an execution screen of the application on at least one of the first display or the second display.
A method of controlling an electronic device, the method comprising:
- displaying first content;
- displaying second content;
- displaying at least one piece of content related to at least one of the first content or the second content on at least one of a first display or a second display, according to an overlap between the first display and the second display, incurred by sliding;
- based on the second display being slid so as to overlap with the first display over a partial area, displaying, in the partial area on the second display, guide information indicating a first direction and a second direction;
- and
- based on the second display being slid in the first direction so as to either overlap wholly with the first display or based on the second display being slid in the second direction so as to decrease at least the partial area:
- executing an application related to the second content being displayed on the second display, and
- displaying an execution screen of the application on at least one of the first display or the second display.
