Abstract: A portable electronic device may include: a first housing; a second housing disposed to be slidable with respect to the first housing; a flexible display in which a display area of the display is contracted or extended on the basis of slide-in or slide-out driving of the second housing; a motor for generating driving force to slide the second housing; a driving circuit for driving the motor; and a processor(s). The processor(s) may: configure the display area of the flexible display as an activation area for displaying visual information; recognize that a consistency problem occurs in an application execution screen when switching from the slide-out state to the slide-in state on the basis of occurrence of a slide-in trigger for contraction of the activation area while displaying the application execution screen on the activation area in the slide-out state; and provide a user interface to allow extension of the activation area on the basis of the occurrence of the consistency problem.

Abstract: A shape-changeable electronic apparatus according to an embodiment includes: a display module having a first area and a second area. In response to the shape of the electronic apparatus being a first shape, the first area is activated, and in response to the shape of the electronic apparatus being a second shape, the second area is activated. The electronic apparatus further includes a memory storing computer-executable instructions and a processor which executes the instructions. When the instructions are executed, in the first shape, first content related to a first application is displayed in the first area. Information is identified from the first content. The presence of a candidate application to which the identified information can be applied is determined. In response to the candidate application being present, a graphic object capable of receiving an input for changing the shape of the electronic apparatus is displayed on the first area.
