Abstract: In one embodiment, an electronic device controls an external conversion device connected to an external device. The electronic device includes a connection terminal formed on a portion of an outer surface thereof, a first converter connected to the connection terminal and configured to convert signals, and a processor operatively connected to the first converter. The processor is configured, when the external conversion device is connected to the connection terminal, and the external device is connected to the external conversion device, to identify a type of the external device connected to the external conversion device by receiving an operation signal of the external device through the external conversion device, the connection terminal, and the first converter, and to input or output a signal corresponding to the external device through the external conversion device.

Abstract: An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a first display driving circuit configured to control the first area of the flexible display, a second display driving circuit configured to control the second area of the flexible display, a processor, and a memory storing instructions, which when executed by the processor, cause the electronic device to: while the housing is in the flat state, display a first execution screen, corresponding to a first application, on the first area and the second area of the flexible display, while the first execution screen, corresponding to the first application, is displayed on the first area and the second area of the flexible display, identify the housing being moved from flat state to the partially folded state, based at least on the housing being moved from the flat state to the partially folded state, display a second execution screen corresponding to the first application, different from the first execution screen, on the first area and the second area of the flexible display, and while the second execution screen is displayed in the partially folded state, control the first display driving circuit and the second driving circuit such that one of the first area and the second area of the flexible display, which is more closely aligned with a ground plane, consumes electrical power less than electrical power consumed by the other one of the first area and the second area of the flexible display.
