Abstract

An electronic device may comprise a housing configured to form an outer surface of the electronic device and including a first housing, a second housing, and a third housing. In the unfolded state of the electronic device, the second housing may be positioned between the first housing and the third housing. The electronic device may comprise a first hinge configured to rotatably connect the first housing and the second housing, a second hinge configured to rotatably connect the second housing and the third housing, a flexible display disposed in the housing, a cover display disposed in the housing and configured to face a direction opposite to a direction which the flexible display faces in the unfolded state of the electronic device, a sensor including sensing circuitry, at least one processor including processing circuitry, and memory storing instructions. The instructions may, when executed by at least one processor individually or collectively, cause the electronic device to identify, using the sensor 176, a folding state of the electronic device. The folding state may include a first folding state in which, among a plurality of areas of the flexible display, an area corresponding to the first hinge and an area corresponding to the second hinge are folded, a second folding state in which one of the area corresponding to the first hinge or the area corresponding to the second hinge is folded, and a third folding state in which the area corresponding to the first hinge and the area corresponding to the second hinge are unfolded. The instructions may. when executed by at least one processor individually or collectively, cause the electronic device to identify, using the sensor, a change in the folding state of the electronic device. The instructions may, when executed by at least one processor individually or collectively, cause the electronic device to, based on a change in the folding state, compare previous display information with pattern information. The previous display information may include layout information and application information of a screen displayed before the folding state is changed. The pattern information may include a plurality of pieces of display information and information about a matching relationship between the plurality of pieces of display information. The instructions, when individually or collectively executed by at least one processor, may cause the electronic device to, based on the previous display information corresponding to one piece of the pattern information, determine next display information as display information matching to the previous display information among the pattern information. The next display information may include layout information and application information for setting a screen to be displayed after the folding state is changed. The instructions, when individually or collectively executed by at least one processor, may cause the electronic device to, based on the next display information, perform a screen construction of the cover display or the flexible display. The screen construction may include an operation for determining an application to be run and a layout of a screen to be displayed on the cover display or the flexible display. Other various embodiments are also available.
