Method and apparatus for displaying content on display

An electronic device comprising:

• a flexible display;
• one or more sensors;
• a memory storing at least one instruction;
• and
• at least one processor configured to execute the at least one instruction to perform a plurality of operations, wherein the plurality of operations comprises:
• determining, based on information about content, a first region of the display on which a first portion of the content is to be displayed from among two regions of the flexible display, wherein the information about the content indicates at least one of a type of the content, an application providing the content, or whether the content and a user interface (UI) for receiving a user input overlay each other,
• obtaining, via the one or more sensors, an angle between the first region and a second region of the display, the second region being distinguished from the first region according to folding of the flexible display,
• determining, based on the angle and a location of a user, a size and a ratio of correction content to allow the first portion of the content and a second portion of the content to be displayed on one virtual plane,
• generating, based on the size and the ratio, the correction content including a second portion of the content;
• and
• displaying the first portion on the first region, and displaying the correction content on the second region so that the first portion and the correction content are displayed on the virtual plane aligned to the first region,
• wherein when the type indicates an image, the method further comprises:
• displaying the image such that two edges of the image contact two edges of the flexible display, while two other edges of the image are distal from two remaining edges of the flexible display,
• wherein the size and the ratio of the correction content are determined such that a first portion of the image is displayed in the first region contacting at least three edges of the flexible display, and a second portion of the image is displayed as the correction content that is coplanar with the virtual plane aligned to the first region.

A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium having recorded thereon a program executable by a processor of an electronic device, to cause the electronic device to:

• determine, based on information about a content, a first region of a flexible display on which a first portion of the content is to be displayed from among two regions of the flexible display, wherein the information about the content indicates at least one of a type of the content, an application that provides the content, or whether the content and a user interface (UI) for receiving a user input overlay each other;
• obtain an angle between the first region and a second region of the display, the second region being distinguished from the first region according to folding of the flexible display;
• determine, based on the angle and a location of a user, a size and a ratio of correction content to allow the first portion of the content and a second portion of the content to be displayed on one virtual plane;
• generate, based on the size and the ratio, the correction content including a second portion of the content;
• and
• display the first portion on the first region, and displaying the correction content on the second region so that the first portion and the correction content are displayed on the virtual plane aligned to the first region,
• wherein when the type indicates an image, the second region is divided into third and fourth subregions, such that the UI is displayed to the third subregion and the correction content is displayed to the fourth subregion, and
• wherein the third subregion including the UI is visually orthogonal to the virtual plane aligned to the first region, and the fourth subregion including the correction content is coplanar with the virtual plane.
