Abstract:
A foldable electronic device is disclosed, the electronic device including a first housing and a second housing adjacent to the first housing; a hinge unit configured to connect the first housing and the second housing; a flexible touch display disposed across the first housing and the second housing; at least one sensor configured to detect an angle formed by the first housing and the second housing; a processor operatively connected with the flexible touch display and the at least one sensor; and a memory operatively connected with the processor, and the memory stores instructions that, when executed, cause the processor to determine whether the first housing and the second housing are in an unfolding state by using the at least one sensor; when the first housing and the second housing are in the unfolding state, set a touch sensitivity of the flexible touch display to a first state; determine a change of the angle formed by the first housing and the second housing by using the at least one sensor; and when the angle is being changed, change the touch sensitivity of the flexible touch display to a second state which is lower than the first state.
