Claim:
1. A portable device comprising a first body at the center of the portable device, a second body positioned at one side of the first body and a third body positioned at another side of the first body; a display configured to display visual information on at least one of a first area of the first body, a second area of the second body and a third area of the third body; a first sensor configured to detect at least one of a first folding angle between the first body and the second body and a second folding angle between the first body and the third body; a second sensor configured to detect a contact state that a rear side of the second body is contacted with a different real object; a rotation sensor configured to detect a rotation of the portable device; and a processor configured to control the display, the first sensor and the second sensor, wherein the processor is further configured to: set a first mode based on the first folding angle, the second folding angle, and the contact state, display a first application on the first area, the second area and the third area in the first mode, detect a change of the first folding angle and the second folding angle in the first mode, switch the first mode to a second mode when the changed first folding angle is equal to or greater than a first threshold angle, the changed second angle being less than a second threshold angle and the contact state being a state of contact with the different real object, display the first application on the first area in the first direction, a second application on the second area in the first direction and a third application on the third area in a second direction, in the second mode, wherein the second application is related to a first object contained in the first application on the second area in the first direction, detect the rotation of the portable device in the second mode, and display the first application on the third area in the first direction, the second application on the second area in the second direction and the third application on the first area in the second direction when the portable device is rotated more than a predetermined angle, wherein the predetermined angle is such that the first application being viewed by a user before rotation may continue may be viewed by the user after rotation of the portable device, wherein the second application is related to a second object contained in the third application on the second area in the second direction, and wherein the first direction is an opposite direction to the second direction.
