Electronic device and method for controlling screen according to user interaction using the same

A method for controlling a screen according to a user interaction by an electronic device including a first housing having a first surface facing a first direction, a second surface facing a second direction opposite, and a second housing connected to the first housing in a foldable manner, and having a third surface facing the first direction in an unfolded state and a fourth surface facing the second direction in the unfolded state, the method comprising:

• displaying first information corresponding to a first application in a first area on a first display provided on at least a portion of the first surface and at least a portion of the third surface;
• displaying second information corresponding to a second application in a second area on the first display;
• acquiring sensor information through a sensor circuit;
• identifying whether a user input is detected on the second surface or the fourth surface based on the acquired sensor information;
• identifying, based on the user input being detected, a type of the user input and a location at which the user input has been detected;
• based on identifying that the type of the user input corresponds to a first user input type and the user input is detected in a first partial area of either the second surface or the fourth surface, displaying, on the first display, at least one of the first information or the second information according to a first display attribute corresponding to the first user input type;
• and
• based on identifying that the type of the user input corresponds to the first user input type and the user input is detected in a second partial area of either the second surface or the fourth surface, displaying, on the first display, at least one of the first information or the second information according to a second display attribute corresponding to the first user input type.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing one or more programs, the one or more programs comprising instructions, which, when executed by a processor, cause by an electronic device to:

• display first information corresponding to a first application in a first area on a first display;
• display second information corresponding to a second application in a second area on the first display;
• acquire sensor information through a sensor circuit;
• identify whether a user input is detected on a second surface or a fourth surface of the electronic device, based on the acquired sensor information;
• identify, based on the user input being detected, a type of the user input and a location at which the user input has been detected;
• based on identifying that the type of the user input corresponds to a first user input type and the user input is detected in a first partial area of either the second surface or the fourth surface, display, on the first display, at least one of the first information or the second information according to a first display attribute corresponding to the first user input type;
• and
• based on identifying that the type of the user input corresponds to the first user input type and the user input is detected in a second partial area of either the second surface or the fourth surface, display, on the first display, at least one of the first information or the second information according to a second display attribute corresponding to the first user input type.
