Various other embodiments may be possible.

Abstract: An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a first housing, a second housing slidably coupled to the first housing, a flexible display configured to be expanded or contracted based on slide-out or slide-in movement of the second housing, a drive motor disposed in the second housing and including a pinion gear, a rack gear structure disposed in the first housing and including a rack gear engaged with the pinion gear, at least one sensor module configured to detect movement of the second housing, a memory configured to store executable instructions, and at least one processor configured to access the memory and execute the instructions, and control the drive motor based on sensing information detected from the at least one sensor module.

Abstract: An electronic device may include: a first housing; a second housing disposed movably with respect to the first housing; a display disposed on the second housing and expanded or contracted as the second housing moves; a motor; a pinion gear disposed in the first housing and rotatable by receiving driving force from the motor; a rack gear disposed in the second housing, engaged with the at least one pinion gear and movable by the rotation of the at least one pinion gear; a switching structure disposed between the motor and the pinion gear, and changeable to a gear-connected state, or a gear-released state, an actuator disposed in the first housing, configured to change a state of the switching structure; and at least one processor operably coupled to the motor and the actuator, and the processor may be configured to change the switching structure to the gear-connected state or the gear-released state through the actuator based on identifying the designated event.

Abstract: An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a first housing, a second housing, the first housing slidable with respect to the second housing, a flexible display including a first display area and a second display area extending from the first display area and bendable or rollable, a battery disposed in the first housing or the second housing, and a supporting structure supporting at least a portion of the flexible display. The supporting structure includes a first area overlapping the battery and a second area extending from the first area. The first area of the supporting structure has a first thickness, and the second area of the supporting structure has a second thickness larger than the first thickness.

Abstract: An electronic device may include a first housing configured to slide with respect to the second housing, a second housing receiving at least a portion of the first housing, a display configured to be unfolded based on sliding of the first housing, a motor structure configured to generate a driving force for the sliding of the first housing, the motor structure disposed on the second housing, and a gear assembly including a first gear connected to the motor structure, a rack gear connected to the first housing and configured to slide along with the first housing, a second gear configured to mesh with the rack gear, and a third gear connected to the second gear and configured to rotate based on rotation of the first gear.

Abstract: An electronic device may include a housing; a sliding frame, at least a portion of which is drawn out from the housing in a first direction, or at least a portion of which is retracted into the housing in a second direction; a flexible display including a first region visible from the outside, and a second region extending from the first region and varying in size; and a bending member disposed on a rear surface of the flexible display, the bending member including a plurality of bars arranged in a certain interval. The bending member may include a first bar including at least one first locking part protruding in an inner direction of the electronic device.

Abstract: According to various embodiments of the disclosure, an electronic device may comprise: a first housing, a second housing configured to change a position relative to the first housing based on sliding of the first housing, a flexible display including a first area and a bendable or rollable second area extending from the first area, a supporting structure coupled with the flexible display to support at least a portion of the flexible display and including a plurality of bars, and a guide rail configured to guide a movement of the plurality of bars based on the sliding of the first housing. Each of the plurality of bars may include a frame and a header formed on an end of the frame. When the second area of the flexible display is bent or rolled, the headers of the at least two or more adjacent bars may be disposed to at least partially overlap each other. Each of the headers may include at least one pole at least partially received in the guide rail.

Abstract: The present invention provides a media file management system and method for a home media center, which enable media files such as images or photos, music and movies included in a variety of information appliances to be conveniently edited on a screen of a display apparatus connected to a home media center. A search window in which media files to be searched are displayed or an edit window in which a media file to be edited is displayed are created. Then, if a user selects a file edit command for a media file displayed in the search window, the selected file edit command is executed and results of the execution of the file edit command are displayed in the edit window.
