Assignee: SAMSUNG ELECTRONICS CO., LTD.
Field: Computer technology (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 0:
1. An electronic device comprising:
a first housing comprising a first surface and a second surface facing an opposite direction of the first surface;
a second housing comprising a third surface disposed to face the first surface based on a rotational direction and a fourth surface facing an opposite direction of the third surface;
a hinge structure comprising a hinge configured to rotatably connect the first housing and the second housing;
at least one display comprising a first display area disposed on at least one of the first surface and the third surface, and a second display area disposed on at least one of the second surface and the fourth surface;
a sensing circuit configured to sense at least one of a folding operation between the first housing and the second housing and a physical movement of the electronic device; and
a processor electrically connected to the display and the sensing circuit,
wherein the processor is configured to:
control the display to display a first execution screen according to execution of a first application on the first display area;
monitor whether an event related to a second application occurs while the first execution screen is displayed on the first display area;
based on the physical movement sensed through the sensing circuit based on occurrence of the event corresponding to a first rotational direction, control the display to display a second execution screen according to the execution of the second application related to the event on the second display area while the first application is being executed; and
based on the physical movement sensed through the sensing circuit based on occurrence of the event corresponding to a second rotational direction different from the first rotational direction, control the display to display a third execution screen according to execution of a third application related to the event on the second display area while the first application is being executed,
the third application being different from the second application, and
the second execution screen and the third execution screen comprising information related to the event.
