Abstract: An example electronic device may include a display module, a communication module, a physical input device, and a processor. The processor may detect a trigger related to external device control from the electronic device and identify a capability to be controlled by the external device, based on the detection of the trigger. The processor may change a first function configured to cause a designated physical input device of the electronic device to operate, to a second function related to control of the identified capability of the external device and control the capability of the external device on the basis of detection of a user input through the physical input device.

Abstract: An electronic device include a housing, a flexible display capable of being slid into the housing and being slid out of the housing, a memory configured to store instructions, and a processor operably coupled with the flexible display. The processor is configured to, when the instructions are executed, display a user interface including sets of information in a display area of the flexible display exposed out of the housing. The processor is configured to, when the instructions are executed, receive a user input for changing size of the display area from first size to second size smaller than the first size, while displaying the user interface including the sets of the information.
