US 11,455,925 B2 · Foldable electronic device and contents multi-stage display method therefor

Abstract

An electronic device is disclosed. A foldable electronic device according to one embodiment disclosed in the present document can comprise: a foldable display; a first sensor circuit for sensing the folding of the foldable electronic device; a second sensor circuit for sensing the holding, by a user, of the foldable electronic device; a processor functionally connected to the display, the first sensor circuit and the second sensor circuit; and a memory functionally connected to the processor. The memory can store instructions for enabling, when executed, the processor to display contents through the display, display the contents on a two-page basis through the display, when the folding of the foldable electronic device at a predetermined angle is sensed using the first sensor circuit, and display, in a first luminance, a first page of the two pages displayed through the display and display a second page in a second luminance, when the holding of the foldable electronic device for a predetermined time by one hand is sensed using the second sensor circuit. Additional various embodiments identified through the specification are possible.

Dependent claims

A foldable electronic device comprising:

a foldable display;
a first sensor circuit configured to detect that the foldable electronic device is folded;
a second sensor circuit configured to detect holding of the foldable electronic device by a user;
a processor electrically connected to the display, the first sensor circuit, and the second sensor circuit;
and
a memory electrically connected to the processor,
wherein the memory stores instructions that, when executed, cause the processor to:
display content in units of one page through the display if it is detected that the foldable electronic device is unfolded to exceed a specified angle by using the first sensor circuit;
display the content, which has been displayed in units of one page, in units of two pages through the display if it is detected that the foldable electronic device is folded at the specified angle by using the first sensor circuit while displaying the content in units of one page;
and
if it is detected that the foldable electronic device is held with one hand for a specified time by using the second sensor circuit while the content, which has been displayed in units of two pages, is displayed with a first luminance, display, among the two pages displayed through the display, a first page with the first luminance and a second page with a second luminance.
