Abstract:
A method in an electronic device comprises when a display unit is deformed, determining a display area visible to a user, and displaying content on the confirmed display area. An apparatus for displaying content on an electronic device comprises a processing circuit configured to detect that a flexible display unit is bended, recognize at least a part of a user's body, determine which display area is visible to the user based on the user position; and move at least part of content on the visible display area.
Abstract:
Provided is a method of an electronic device. The method includes selecting first information included in a first program and second information included in a second program. The method also includes converting the selected first and second information according to a transmission mode of short range communication. The method further includes generating third and fourth information, respectively. The method includes transmitting the third and fourth information to an opposing electronic device using the short range communication.
Abstract:
A method and a device for controlling external data network use via a mobile Access Point (AP) are provided. A host device set as the mobile AP determines whether a data-less mode is set, blocks a client device from using the external data network via the mobile AP, if the data-less mode is set, and permits the client device to use the external data network via the mobile AP, if the data-less mode is released. A client device connected to a mobile AP determines whether a data-less mode is set for a host device set as the mobile AP, if the client device is connected to the host device in a state of being connected to a wireless data network, maintains the connection to the wireless data network, if the data-less mode is set, and releases the connection to the wireless data network, if the data-less mode is released.
Abstract:
An electronic device is disclosed. An electronic device according to one embodiment comprises: a communication module; a memory including a security area for storing one or more profiles which correspond to at least one subscriber identity module (SIM); and a processor, wherein the processor is configured to: obtain a request for storing another profile in the memory, and, in response to the request, delete, from the memory, at least one profile of the profiles, or move the at least one profile to another memory which is operationally connected to the electronic device and includes another security area.
Abstract:
Disclosed is an electronic device including: a display that displays screens; a processor that displays, on the display of the electronic device, presence information of one or more counterpart devices associated with a first communication service provided through a browser application, receives a user input for communication with the one or more counterpart devices, and displays, on the display, a second screen of the browser application providing a second communication service in response to the user input; a first module including a plurality of modules for providing the first communication service; a second module including a plurality of modules for providing a second communication service; and a control module that controls the first module and the second module.
Abstract:

The electronic device includes a communication module, and a processor executing the method, which includes detecting the generation of a specific event, controlling the communication module to transmit a message to one or more other electronic devices located within a predetermined range, and control the communication module to communicate with the one or more other electronic devices based on a request from the one or more second electronic devices.
Abstract:
A method is provided for operating a first electronic device. The method includes determining sameness of first fingerprint data and second fingerprint data. The method also includes obtaining an access right of a security region based on the determination. The method also includes obtaining at least one item of information stored in the security region based on the obtained access right. The method also includes transmitting the obtained information to a second electronic device connected via Near Field Communication.
Abstract:
A method for determining a network status is provided. The method includes obtaining a period determined by a first processor of an electronic apparatus, using a second processor of the electronic apparatus, transmitting a preset message from the electronic apparatus to another apparatus in a network according to the determined period, using the second processor, determining the network status based on at least one of (i) whether or not a response to the preset message is received and (ii) information included in the response, using the second processor, and when the network status is determined to be abnormal, activating the first processor using the second processor.
Abstract:
