Abstract: An electronic device includes a housing, a display, a power management circuit, and a processor. The processor is configured to control the display to operate based on a first designated scheme during operation in a first designated state. The processor is also configured to control the display to operate based on a second designated scheme corresponding to a second designated state when a first event for switching a state of the electronic device is confirmed. The processor is further configured to control the power management circuit to receive a voltage lower than a voltage applied to the processor in the first state. The display is configured to display at least one object in the second designated state. The display also is configured to change and display a display state of the at least one object when information indicating confirmation of a second event with respect to the electronic device is acquired from the processor.
