US 2023/0412920 A1 · METHOD FOR EXECUTING APPLICATION, AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE SUPPORTING SAME

Abstract

A foldable electronic device may include a flexible display, a sensor circuit, a processor and a memory. The foldable electronic device may be such that it: executes an application on the basis of a first mode, if a folding angle is within a first range; identifies a folding angle via the sensor circuit according to a first cycle while the application is executed in the first mode; if the identified folding angle is not within the first range, switches the execution mode of the application from the first mode to a second mode; and changes the range for switching the execution mode of the application from the first range to the second range based on at least one of the identified folding angles.

Dependent claims

A foldable electronic device, comprising:

a flexible display;
a sensor configured to detect a folding angle of the foldable electronic device;
a processor;
and
a memory operatively connected with the processor,
wherein the memory stores instructions, and the processor is configured to cause the foldable electronic device to:
execute an application based on a first mode, when the folding angle of the foldable electronic device belongs to a first range;
identify the folding angle based on a first period using the sensor, while the application is in the first mode;
switch the application from the first mode to a second mode, when the identified folding angle does not belong to the first range;
and
change a range for switching an execution mode of the application to a second range, different from the first range, using at least a portion of the identified folding angle.
