Abstract
An electronic device is provided, which can include a flexible display, a rolling actuator for expanding or reducing the flexible display, a wireless communication circuit, and a processor. The processor can receive, via the wireless communication circuit, a message from an external device, and in response to receiving the message, drive the first rolling actuator, expand the flexible display by a first length in a first direction, and display a first UI including a plurality of content, in a first region of the flexible display expanded by the first length.
Claims15
An electronic device, comprising:
- a flexible display;
- a rolling actuator for expanding and retracting the flexible display;
- a wireless communication circuit;
- and
- a processor electrically connected to the flexible display, the rolling actuator, and the wireless communication circuit;
- wherein the processor is configured to:
- receive, via the wireless communication circuit, a message from an external device,
- in response to receiving the message, drive the rolling actuator and expand the flexible display by a first length in a first direction, and
- display, in a first region of the flexible display expanded by the first length, a first user interface (UI) including a first plurality of content, and
- wherein the first plurality of content includes first content associated with the message and second content distinct from the first content.
A method performed by an electronic device, the method comprising:
- receiving a message from an external device;
- in response to receiving the message, driving a first rolling actuator and expanding a flexible display by a first length in a first direction;
- and
- displaying a first user interface (UI) including a first plurality of content, in a first region of the flexible display expanded by the first length,
- wherein the first plurality of content includes first content associated with the message and second content distinct from the first content.
