Abstract: An electronic device having a flexible display and a method for operating the same are provided. The method includes displaying a first graphic user interface (GUI) for character input on a flexible display and detecting a change in a bending state of the flexible display. Changing the first GUI to a second GUI based on the detected change of the bending state of the flexible display, and then displaying the second GUI. In some embodiments, the method may include determining a moved area among the first area and the second area and displaying the second GUI based on the determined moved area and the angle between the first area and the second area. Determining the moved area may include detecting a first pressure corresponding to the first area and a second pressure corresponding to the second area, and then determining the moved area based on the first and second pressures.

Abstract: A head mounted electronic device includes a display that displays a virtual reality (VR) image in left-eye and right-eye lens areas, a camera module that photographs an image, and a processor that detects at least one object existing within a photographing range of the camera module based on the photographed image of the camera module. The processor is configured to switch the VR image to the photographed image or to an augmented reality (AR) image including at least part of the photographed image if at least one object exists within a first area, the first area being an area from the camera module to a point spaced apart from the camera module by a first distance within the photographing range.
