## Abstract

An electronic device and a display method thereof are disclosed. An electronic device according to the present disclosure comprises: a display; and a processor for controlling an electronic device to operate in one of a wallpaper mode and a content mode, wherein, in the absence of a preset wallpaper, when a first user command is input while the display operates in the content mode for reproducing broadcast content, the processor controls the display to change and display the broadcast content to a first UI for entering the wallpaper mode; and, in the absence of a preset wallpaper screen, when a second user command is input while the display is operating in the content mode, the processor controls the display to change and display the broadcast content to a wallpaper setting screen for setting a wallpaper.

## Claims

### Claim 1

electronic device comprising:
a display; and
a processor for controlling the electronic device to operate in one of a wallpaper mode and a content mode,
wherein the processor is configured to:
in the absence of a preset wallpaper, based on a first user command being input while the display operates in the content mode for reproducing a broadcast content, control the display to change and display the broadcast content to a first UI for entering the wallpaper mode, and
in the absence of the preset wallpaper, based on a second user command being input while the display operates in the content mode, control the display to change and display the broadcast content to a wallpaper setting screen for setting a wallpaper.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The electronic device of claim 1,
wherein the processor is configured to:
based on a user command being input while the first UI is displayed, control the display to change and display the first UI to a wallpaper setting screen for setting a wallpaper.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The electronic device of claim 1,
wherein the processor is configured to:
in the presence of the preset wallpaper, based on a third user command being input while the first UI is displayed, control the display to change and display the first UI to the preset wallpaper.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The electronic device of claim 1,
wherein the first user command is a command to turn off the power of the electronic device, and
the processor is configured to:
based on a third user command not being input while the first UI is displayed, gradually decrease the size of the first UI.

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

The electronic device of claim 4,
wherein the processor is configured to:
based on the first UI disappearing, turn off the power of the electronic device.

### Claim 6 (depends on 3)

The electronic device of claim 3,
wherein the size of the first UI in the absence of the preset wallpaper and the size of the first UI in the presence of the preset wallpaper are different.

### Claim 7 (depends on 2)

The electronic device of claim 2,
wherein the processor is configured to:
based on the first user command being input for greater than or equal to a preset number of times, turn off the power of the electronic device without displaying the first UI.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The electronic device of claim 1,
wherein the second user command is a conversion command for converting the display to the wallpaper mode, and
the processor is configured to:
in the presence of the preset wallpaper, based on the second user command being input, control the display to display the preset wallpaper.

### Claim 9

A display method of an electronic device operating in one of a wallpaper mode and a content mode, the method comprising:
in the absence of a preset wallpaper, based on a first user command being input while the display operates in the content mode for reproducing a broadcast content, changing and displaying the broadcast content to a first UI for entering the wallpaper mode; and
in the absence of the preset wallpaper, based on a second user command being input while the display operates in the content mode, changing and displaying the broadcast content to a wallpaper setting screen for setting a wallpaper.

### Claim 10 (depends on 9)

The display method of claim 9, further comprising:
based on a user command being input while the first UI is displayed, changing and displaying the first UI to a wallpaper setting screen for setting a wallpaper.

### Claim 11 (depends on 9)

The display method of claim 9,
wherein the changing and displaying to the first UI further comprises:
in the presence of the preset wallpaper, based on a third user command being input while the first UI is displayed, changing and displaying the first UI to the preset wallpaper.

### Claim 12 (depends on 9)

The display method of claim 9,
wherein the first user command is a command to turn oft the power of the electronic device, and further comprising:
based on a third user command not being input while the first UI is displayed, gradually decreasing the size of the first UI.

### Claim 13 (depends on 12)

The display method of claim 12, further comprising:
based on the first UI disappearing, turning off the power of the electronic device.

### Claim 14 (depends on 11)

The display method of claim 11,
wherein the size of the first UI in the absence of the preset wallpaper and the size of the first UI in the presence of the preset wallpaper are different.

### Claim 15 (depends on 10)

The display method of claim 10, further comprising:
based on the first user command being input for greater than or equal to a preset number of times, turning off the power of the electronic device without displaying the first UI.
