    Abstract: An electronic device includes a housing including a front plate, a rear plate, and a side member; a display having a first surface visible through the front plate; an inertial sensor; a proximity sensor disposed on a second surface of the display; a processor; and a memory. The memory may store instructions that, when executed, cause the processor to determine a user's posture through the inertial sensor, in response to activation of a specific application using a function of the proximity sensor; determine a movement of the electronic device through the inertial sensor; determine the user's intent to use the display, based on the user's posture and the movement of the electronic device; and determine a configuration value of the proximity sensor, based on the determined intent to use the display.

    Abstract: An electronic device includes: a first housing including a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface; a second housing including a third surface and a fourth surface opposite to the third surface; a first display on the first and third surfaces; a second display on the second surface; a first inertial sensor in the first housing; a second inertial sensor in the second housing; and at least one processor. The at least one processor is configured to: identify, using the first and second inertial sensors, that an angle between a first direction in which the first surface faces and a second direction in which the third surface faces is within a designated range, identify that first data, which is related to a posture of the electronic device and is identified using the second inertial sensor, is within a first range, and change a display mode of the second display.

    Abstract: According to various embodiments, a method of operating an electronic device, which has a foldable housing that causes first and second portions of a display to face each other in a folded state and to be directed in the same direction in an unfolded state and an illuminance sensor that is disposed on a surface on which the second portion is formed, includes a process of determining an angle formed by the first portion and the second portion using data received from an angle detecting sensor; a process of checking out a reference value corresponding to the determined angle in a lookup table; a process of correcting a first illuminance value from the illuminance sensor using the checked reference value; and a process of controlling brightness of the display based on the corrected first illuminance value at least in part.

    Abstract: An electronic device includes a foldable housing, a sensor module, a display, a processor operatively connected to the sensor module and the display, and memory operatively connected to the processor. The memory may store instructions that, when executed, cause the processor to determine a visual line of a user, based on obtaining direction information of the electronic device when the foldable housing is in a fully unfolded state; sense an angle between the first housing and the second housing when folding of the foldable housing is sensed via the sensor module; determine a direction of the first face of the display and a direction of the third face of the display; and determine at least one of a position or a size of a content displayed on the display, based on at least one of the visual line of the user, the direction of the first face, or the direction of the third face.
