Electronic device for controlling display corresponding to direction of external electronic device, operation method thereof, and storage medium

A method for controlling a display corresponding to a direction of an external electronic device by an electronic device, the method comprising:

• outputting content through a first display disposed in a front surface of the electronic device;
• identifying, by the electronic device, a direction from the electronic device toward the external electronic device connected to the electronic device through short-range communication scheme while outputting the content;
• in response to identifying that the direction from the electronic device toward the external electronic device is within a first range of directions, keeping outputting the content through the first display of the electronic device;
• identifying whether the direction from the electronic device toward the external electronic device changes to fall outside the first range of directions while keeping outputting the content through the first display;
• and
• in response to identifying that the direction from the electronic device toward the external electronic device changes to fall outside the first range of directions, reducing a brightness of the first display,
• wherein the first range of directions corresponds to a predetermined front-facing direction range of the first display.

A non-transitory storage medium storing instructions configured to, when executed by at least one processor (120) of an electronic device (101), enable the electronic device to perform at least one operation, the at least one operation comprising:

• outputting a content through a first display disposed in a front surface of the electronic device;
• identifying a direction from the electronic device toward an external electronic device connected to the electronic device through short-range communication scheme with respect to the electronic device while outputting the content;
• in response to identifying that the direction from the electronic device toward the external electronic device is within a first range of directions, keeping outputting the content through the first display;
• identifying whether the direction from the electronic device toward the external electronic device changes to fall outside the first range of directions while keeping outputting the content through the first display;
• and
• in response to identifying that the direction from the electronic device toward the external electronic device changes to fall outside the first range of directions, reducing a brightness of the first display,
• wherein the first range of directions corresponds to a predetermined front-facing direction range of the first display.
