Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a beacon relay method for an electronic device. A method to operate an electronic device is provided. The method includes receiving a beacon signal. The method also includes analyzing information in the received beacon signal. The method further includes determining whether to relay the beacon signal based on the analyzed information.

Abstract: A method for controlling an electronic device is provided, including displaying at least one portion of a screen displayed on a first display unit of a first electronic device on a second display unit of a second electronic device, receiving an input related to a first position in the second display unit; identifying a type of an object corresponding to the first position, and executing at least one function based on the type of the object.

Abstract: There are provided an apparatus and method for displaying content, e.g., images, in a mobile terminal A plurality of content may be displayed in a plurality of display areas separately. If one of the plurality of content is selected, some areas of the selected content may be sequentially displayed in a display area corresponding to the selected content among the plurality of display areas.

Abstract: A method is provided including: detecting a first gesture performed while a cursor is placed in an input field in a first application; displaying an application list in response to the first gesture; detecting a selection of a second application from the application list; opening a first file with the second application and displaying a content of the first file; detecting a second gesture being performed on a portion of the content of the first file; and inserting the portion of the content of the first file into the input field of the first application.

Abstract: A method of controlling multitasking in an electronic device using a double-sided display is provided. The method includes detecting a first gesture which reverses a first direction of a first screen executing a first application to a second direction or reverses the second direction of a second screen to the first direction, displaying a first list of applications on the second screen of the second direction is reversed to the first direction, when the first gesture is detected, detecting a input for selecting a second application from the first list of applications, and executing and displaying the touched second application on the second screen having the first direction.

Abstract: A system supports user interface based control of an electronic device by identifying a first region in a displayed area on a screen of the electronic device, determining a size of an object for display in the first region, and, in response to the determined object size, displaying at least one of a plurality of objects comprising the displayed area, in the first region.
