US 12,730,550 B2 · Content-based application execution method and apparatus

Abstract

A shape-changeable electronic apparatus according to an embodiment includes: a display module having a first area and a second area. In response to the shape of the electronic apparatus being a first shape, the first area is activated, and in response to the shape of the electronic apparatus being a second shape, the second area is activated. The electronic apparatus further includes a memory storing computer-executable instructions and a processor which executes the instructions. When the instructions are executed, in the first shape, first content related to a first application is displayed in the first area. Information is identified from the first content. The presence of a candidate application to which the identified information can be applied is determined. In response to the candidate application being present, a graphic object capable of receiving an input for changing the shape of the electronic apparatus is displayed on the first area.
