Abstract
An electronic device is disclosed. The disclosed electronic device comprises: a communication circuit; a display; a processor; and a memory electrically connected to the processor, wherein the memory may store commands set so that the processor controls the display to display, on a narrow and long area extending along at least one edge area formed on the display, a user interface comprising location information of an external device to and from which a signal is transmitted and received via the communication circuit. Other various embodiments are possible.
Claims19
An electronic device comprising:
- a communication circuit;
- a display;
- a processor;
- and
- a memory configured to be electrically connected to the processor,
- wherein the memory stores instructions which, when executed, configure the processor to:
- acquire position information of an external electronic device to which the electronic device transmits and receives signals through the communication circuit;
- and
- control to display on the display a user interface comprising an elongated region extending along at least one edge region of the display,
- wherein the control controls a property of the elongated region, based on the position information, to indicate a relative positional relationship of the external electronic device to the electronic device.
A method of controlling an electronic device, the method comprising:
- acquiring position information of an external electronic device that transmits signals to and receives signals from the electronic device through a communication circuit of the electronic device;
- and
- controlling a display of the electronic device to display a user interface comprising an elongated region extending along at least one edge region of a display of the electronic device, wherein the controlling controls a property of the elongated region, based on the position information, to indicate a relative positional relationship of the external electronic device to the electronic device.
