    Abstract: An electronic device includes a display, a communication circuitry, and a processor, wherein the processor is configured to acquire, through the communication circuitry, a first control signal from a controller in contact with a first body portion, the first control signal including information indicating that the controller is in contact with the first body portion. The processor is further configured to display, based on the first control signal, a first graphic object corresponding to the first body portion through the display, and to acquire, through the communication circuitry, a second control signal from the controller, which is in contact with a second body portion. The second control signal includes information indicating that the controller is in with the second body portion. The processor is further configured to display, based on the second control signal, a second graphic object corresponding to the second body portion through the display.

    Abstract: The disclosure discloses a foldable electronic device including rotary supports connected to housings, arm parts connected to the rotary supports, and rotary shafts disposed in the arm parts. At least one arm part among the arm parts includes arm cam structures in which fastening holes spaced apart from each other by a predetermined gap are formed. A shape of a cross-section of a rotary shaft inserted into the fastening holes includes flat areas and curved areas when viewed in an axial direction in which the rotary shaft is inserted. The rotary shaft is formed such that a first thickness of a first portion at least partially disposed in one fastening hole among the fastening holes differs from a second thickness of a second portion at least partially disposed in another fastening hole among the fastening holes.

    Abstract: Disclosed is a hinge module including a hinge structure having a first sub-hinge structure including a first center bracket and a first hinge bracket that rotates through a specified angle in a first direction and a second sub-hinge structure including a second center bracket and a second hinge bracket that rotates through a specified angle in an opposite direction to the first direction. The first hinge bracket and the second hinge bracket are separated from each other and are disposed between the first center bracket and the second center bracket, and hinge motion of the first sub-hinge structure is performed independently of hinge motion of the second sub-hinge structure. The hinge module and a foldable display device including the hinge module suppress a phenomenon in which the hinge module is opened when the housing structures are twisted, thereby preventing damage to the foldable display device.
