According to various embodiments, as the first structure 101 slides on the second structure 102 , the area of the display 103 exposed to the outside may vary. The electronic device 100 (eg, a processor) may change an area of the display 103 that is activated based on an area of the display 103 exposed to the outside. For example, in the open state or at a position intermediate between the closed state and the open state, the electronic device 100 may activate an externally exposed area of the second structure 102 among the total area of the display 103 . In the closed state, the electronic device 100 may activate the first area A1 of the display 103 and deactivate the second area A2 of the display 103 . In the closed state, if there is no user input for a predetermined period of time (eg, 30 seconds or 2 minutes), the electronic device 100 may inactivate the entire area of the display 103 . In some embodiments, in a state in which the entire area of the display 103 is inactivated, the electronic device 100 may display a portion of the display 103 as needed (eg, a notification according to a user setting, a missed call/message arrival notification). By activating the area, visual information may be provided through the auxiliary display area (eg, a portion of the second plate 121a and/or the rear plate 121b made of a material that transmits light).

According to various embodiments, in an open state (eg, the state illustrated in FIG. 2 ), substantially the entire area (eg, the first area A1 and the second area A2 ) of the display 103 is exposed to the outside In this case, the first area A1 and the second area A2 may be disposed to form a plane. In one embodiment, even in an open state, some (eg, one end) of the second area A2 may be positioned to correspond to the roller 151 , and may be positioned on the roller 151 in the second area A2 . The corresponding portion may be maintained in a curved shape. For example, in various embodiments disclosed in this document, even if it is stated that "in the open state, the second area A2 is arranged to form a plane", a part of the second area A2 may be maintained in a curved shape, Similarly, although it is stated that "in the closed state, the articulated hinge structure 113 and/or the second region A2 is accommodated in the second structure 102 ," the articulated hinge structure 113 is and/or a portion of the second area A2 may be located outside the second structure 102 .

According to various embodiments, the guide member, for example, the roller 151 is positioned adjacent to one edge of the second structure 102 (eg, the second plate 121a) to the second structure 102 . It may be rotatably mounted. For example, the roller 151 may be disposed adjacent to the edge of the second plate 121a parallel to the first sidewall 123a (eg, a portion indicated by reference number 'IE'). Although reference numbers are not given in the drawings, another sidewall may extend from the edge of the second plate 121a adjacent to the roller 151, and the sidewall adjacent to the roller 151 may be formed from the first sidewall 123a and may be substantially parallel. As mentioned above, the sidewall of the second structure 102 adjacent to the roller 151 may be made of a material that transmits light, and a part of the second area A2 is accommodated in the second structure 102 . In the state, it is possible to provide visual information through a portion of the second structure 102 .

According to various embodiments, one end of the roller 151 may be rotatably coupled to the second sidewall 123b, and the other end may be rotatably coupled to the third sidewall 123c. For example, the roller 151 is mounted on the second structure 102, the first structure 101 in the direction of the slide movement (eg, the direction of the arrow ① in FIG. 1 or 2) perpendicular to the rotation axis (R) can be rotated around The rotation axis R is disposed substantially parallel to the first sidewall 123a, and may be located far from the first sidewall 123a, for example, at one edge of the second plate 121a. In one embodiment, the gap formed between the outer circumferential surface of the roller 151 and the inner surface of the edge of the second plate 121a is the multi-joint hinge structure 113 or the display 103 entering the interior of the second structure 102 . entrance can be formed.

According to various embodiments, when the display 103 is deformed into a curved shape, the roller 151 maintains a radius of curvature of the display 103 to a certain degree, thereby suppressing excessive deformation of the display 103 . “Excessive deformation” may mean that the display 103 is deformed to have an excessively small radius of curvature to the extent that pixels or signal wires included in the display 103 are damaged. For example, the display 103 may be moved or deformed while being guided by the roller 151 , and may be protected from damage due to excessive deformation. In some embodiments, the roller 151 may rotate while the articulated hinge structure 113 or the display 103 is inserted into or taken out of the second structure 102 . For example, by suppressing friction between the articulated hinge structure 113 (or the display 103 ) and the second structure 102 , the articulated hinge structure 113 (or the display 103 ) is the second structure 102 . Insert / take out operation can be done smoothly.

According to various embodiments, the support sheet 153 may be made of a material having flexibility and a certain degree of elasticity, for example, a material including an elastic body such as silicone or rubber. It may be mounted or attached to the roller 151 and selectively wound around the roller 151 as the roller 151 rotates (may be wound). In the illustrated embodiment, the support sheet 153 may be arranged in plurality (eg, four) along the rotation axis R of the roller 151 . For example, the plurality of support sheets 153 may be mounted on the roller 151 at a predetermined interval from other adjacent support sheets 153 , and may extend in a direction perpendicular to the rotation axis R. In other embodiments, one support sheet may be mounted or attached to roller 151 . For example, one support sheet may have a size and shape corresponding to an area in which the support sheets 153 are disposed and an area between the support sheets 153 in FIG. 3 . In this way, the number, size, or shape of the support sheets 153 may be appropriately changed according to the product actually manufactured. In some embodiments, the support sheet 153 is rolled on the outer circumferential surface of the roller 151 as the roller 151 rotates or deviates from the roller 151 in the form of a flat plate between the display 103 and the third plate 121c. can unfold In other embodiments, the support sheet 153 may be referred to as a “support belt”, “auxiliary belt”, “support film” or “auxiliary film”.

According to various embodiments, an end of the support sheet 153 is connected to a first structure 101 , for example, a first plate 111a (eg, a slide plate), in a closed state (eg, as shown in FIG. 1 ). state), the support sheet 153 may be rolled on the roller 151 . Accordingly, when the first plate 111a moves to an open state (eg, the state shown in FIG. 2 ), the support sheet 153 gradually moves with the second structure 102 (eg, the third plate 121c) and the display. It may be located between the 103 (eg, the second area A2) or between the second structure 102 (eg, the third plate 121c) and the articulated hinge structure 113 . For example, at least a portion of the support sheet 153 may be positioned to face the articulated hinge structure 113 , and may be selectively wound around the roller 151 according to the sliding movement of the first plate 111a. The support sheet 153 is generally disposed in contact with the articulated hinge structure 113 , but a portion rolled on the roller 151 may be substantially separated from the articulated hinge structure 113 .

According to various embodiments, the distance between the surface of the display 103 and the inner surface of the edge of the second plate 121a may be different depending on the extent to which the support sheet 153 is wound around the roller 151 . The smaller the spacing G is, the easier it is to prevent foreign substances from entering, but if it is too small, the display 103 may contact or rub against the second plate 121a. When direct contact or friction occurs, the surface of the display 103 may be damaged or the sliding operation of the first structure 101 may be hindered.

According to various embodiments, in the closed state, the support sheet 153 is wound around the roller 151 , so that the surface of the display 103 maintains a state not in contact with the second plate 121a, while the display 103 is It is possible to reduce the gap between the surface of the second plate 121a and the inner surface of the edge of the second plate (121a). For example, by reducing the arrangement interval (G) in the closed state, it is possible to block the inflow of foreign substances into the interior of the second structure (102). In one embodiment, as the first structure 101 (eg, the first plate 111a or the slide plate) gradually moves to an open state, the support sheet 153 moves away from the roller 151 and gradually moves to the second structure 102 . ) (eg, the second plate 121a or the third plate 121c) and the multi-joint hinge structure 113 . For example, as the first structure 101 moves to the open state, the arrangement interval G gradually increases to suppress direct friction or contact between the display 103 and other structures (eg, the second plate 121a), It is possible to prevent the surface of the display 103 from being damaged due to friction or contact. In some embodiments, the thickness of the support sheet 153 may gradually increase from one end (eg, a portion fixed to the roller 151) to the other end (eg, a portion fixed to the first plate 111a). . By using the thickness profile of the support sheet 153, the arrangement gap G in the closed state and the open state can be adjusted.

When the first structure 101 reaches the open state, the first elastic member 131 may contact the inner side surface of the edge of the second plate 121a. For example, in the open state, the first elastic member 131 may seal the gap between the inner surface of the edge of the second plate 121a and the surface of the display 103 . In another embodiment, when moving from the closed state to the open state, the first elastic member 131 may move (eg, in sliding contact) while in contact with the second plate 121a. For example, if the foreign material is introduced into the gap between the second area A2 and the second plate 121a in the closed state, when moving to the open state, the first elastic member 131 removes the foreign material to the second structure It can be discharged to the outside of (102).

According to various embodiments, the second elastic member 133 may be attached to the inner surface at the edge of the second plate 121a and may be disposed to substantially face the inner surface of the display 103 . In the closed state, a distance (eg, an arrangement distance) between the surface of the display 103 and the inner side surface of the edge of the second plate 121a may be substantially determined by the second elastic member 133 . According to an embodiment, in the closed state, the second elastic member 133 may contact the surface of the display 103 to substantially seal the disposition gap G. As shown in FIG. According to an embodiment, the second elastic member 133 may be made of a low-density elastic body such as a sponge or a brush, so that the surface of the display 103 may not be damaged even if it comes into direct contact with the display 103 . In another embodiment, the arrangement interval G may increase as the first structure 101 gradually moves to an open state. For example, the display 103 may gradually expose the second area A2 to the outside of the second structure 102 without substantially contacting or rubbing the second elastic member 133 . When the first structure 101 reaches an open state, the first elastic member 131 may contact the second elastic member 133 . For example, in the open state, the first elastic member 131 and the second elastic member 133 may block the inflow of foreign substances by sealing the arrangement gap (G).

According to various embodiments, the electronic device 100 may further include a guide rail 155(s) and/or an actuating member 157(s).

For example, the shooting control module 452, which will be described later, is implemented as at least a part of the camera application (eg, implemented as a specific shooting mode (eg, super sampler mode) of the camera application) to control shooting to be described later according to the driving of the camera application. According to the function of the module 452, at least one camera may be controlled to take pictures. Hereinafter, each module will be described.

First, the movement control module 451 will be described.

According to various embodiments, the movement control module 451 may control the flexible display 440 (or the first structure 101 or the first plate 111a) of the electronic device 100 to slide and move. . For example, the movement control module 451 drives the above-described moving device 430 (eg, a motor) to rotate a roller (eg, the roller 151 of FIG. 3 ) in one direction to rotate the flexible display 440 . ) can be controlled to slide. For example, when the movement control module 451 rotates the roller 151 in a first direction (eg, counterclockwise), the flexible display 440 slides out and moves, and the roller ( 151) is rotated in the second direction (eg, clockwise), the flexible display 440 slides in, and after rotating the roller 151 in the first direction, the second direction When rotating to , the flexible display 440 may slide-out and then slide-in. According to the control of the movement control module 451 , a distance at which the flexible display 440 slides (eg, a slide-out movement or a slide-in movement) may be limited (eg, 40 mm). For example, the maximum distance the slide-out moves is the maximum distance exposed to the outside through the second structure 102 in the state in which the first structure 101 is accommodated in the second structure 102 . As such, it may be determined by at least one of a width of the first structure 101 or a width of the second structure 102 . Also, for example, the maximum distance the slide-in moves is when the first structure 101 is the second structure in a state in which the first structure 101 is maximally exposed to the outside through the second structure 102 . The distance received into ( 102 ), which may also be determined by at least one of the width of the first structure ( 101 ) or the width of the second structure ( 102 ). For example, as at least one of the width of the first structure 101 and the width of the second structure 102 increases, the slide movement of the first structure 101 (eg, a slide out movement or a slide in movement) When the first structure 101 is guided (or supported) by the inner lower surface of the second structure 102, it can be slid for a longer distance.

According to various embodiments, the movement control module 451 may control the flexible display 440 to slide based on occurrence of a specified event. For example, the movement control module 451 may control the flexible display 440 to slide based on the occurrence of an event for photographing. The generation of the event for the photographing will be further described later with reference to FIGS. 6 to 9 .

According to various embodiments, the movement control module 451 slides the flexible display 440 (or the first structure 101, or the first plate 111a) at a specified speed (eg, slide-out movement, slide-in movement) can be controlled. For example, the movement control module 451 moves so that the flexible display 440 moves at a speed (eg, 40 mm/sec) that moves to a maximum distance (eg, 40 mm) for a preset time (eg, 1 sec). The device 430 (eg, a motor) may be controlled. The speed is not limited to the description, and may be set, reset, and/or changed to various values. Also, for example, the movement control module 451 may control the flexible display 440 to slide at a speed determined based on various information (eg, external illumination). For example, the movement control module 451 may control the flexible display 440 to move at a lower speed as the external illuminance decreases.

Meanwhile, the present invention is not limited thereto, and as described above, the flexible display 440 may be slidably moved by the user.

According to various embodiments, the electronic device 100 (eg, the processor 450 of FIG. 4 ) may identify an event for photographing in operation 601 . For example, the photographing event may occur while the flexible display (eg, the display 103 of FIGS. 1 to 3 ) (or the first structure 101 or the first plate 101a) is slid. At least one camera (eg, the front camera 511 and the rear camera 512 of FIGS. 5A to 5C ) may be an event that triggers shooting. Hereinafter, an example of identifying the occurrence of an event in the electronic device 100 will be described.

According to various embodiments, the electronic device 100 executes an application (eg, a camera application) implemented to provide a photographing function, and a flexible display (eg, the display 103 of FIGS. 1 to 3 ) while the application is running )) (or the first structure 101, or the first plate 101a), when identifying the slide movement, the occurrence of the event can be identified. The slide movement of the flexible display (eg, the display 103 of FIGS. 1 to 3 ) is manually performed by the user (eg, the flexible display (eg, the display 103 of FIGS. 1 to 3 ) by the user (or the first 1 structure 101, or the first plate 101a) pulling in one direction) performed (manual mode), or performed by the control of the processor 450 (eg, the movement control module 451 described above) ( auto mode).

According to various embodiments, the electronic device 100 identifies the slide movement of the flexible display (eg, the display 103 of FIGS. 1 to 3 ) and captures the image implemented on the execution screen 711 of the camera application. When a touch of the icon 712 set to trigger is identified, the occurrence of the event may be identified. For example, as shown in 701 of FIG. 7 , in the electronic device 100 , an icon 712 set to trigger shooting is touched by the user on the execution screen 711 of the camera application, and the flexible display (eg: When identifying that the display 103 of FIGS. 1 to 3 ) (or the first structure 101 , or the first plate 101a ) is being manually slid (eg, a slide out move, or a slide in move) It is possible to identify the occurrence of an event for the photographing. At this time, in the electronic device 100 , the flexible display (eg, the display 103 of FIGS. 1 to 3 ) slides or moves while the icon 712 is touched by the user, or the icon 712 moves. When it is identified that the flexible display (eg, the display 103 of FIGS. 1 to 3 ) is slid within a preset time from the time when it is touched by the user (or when it is touched and released), the event for the shooting occurrence can be identified. Also, for example, as shown in 702 of FIG. 7 , the electronic device 100 is flexible under the control of the processor 450 while the icon 712 for shooting is selected on the execution screen 711 of the camera application. When it is identified that the flexible display (eg, the display 103 of FIGS. 1 to 3 ) slides according to an input for triggering the sliding movement of the display (eg, the display 103 of FIGS. 1 to 3 ) The occurrence of an event can be identified. As an example, an input for causing a slide movement of the flexible display (eg, the display 103 of FIGS. 1 to 3 ) is a touch of the icon 712 and a direction of the icon 712 as shown in 702 of FIG. It may include drag input. The flexible display (eg, the display 103 of FIGS. 1 to 3 ) may slide out or slide in in a direction corresponding to the direction of the drag input. In this case, the slide movement speed of the flexible display (eg, the display 103 of FIGS. 1 to 3 ) may be determined according to the attribute of the drag input. For example, the attribute of the drag input may include a distance of the drag input or a speed of the drag input. For example, the distance of the drag input and the speed of the slide movement may be proportional or inversely proportional. As another example, the speed of the drag input and the speed of the slide movement may be proportional or inversely proportional. Also, without being limited thereto, the slide moving speed may be set to a speed (eg, 40 mm/sec) of moving to a maximum distance (eg, 40 mm) for a preset time (eg, 1 sec) as described above. The slide movement speed is not limited to the above description, and may be set, reset, and/or changed to various values. According to the adjustment of the slide movement speed, a control point for capturing an image may be changed in FIGS. 9A to 9D, which will be described later.

According to various embodiments, the electronic device 100 enters a specific shooting mode (eg, a super sampler mode) implemented in an application (eg, a camera application) implemented to provide the imaging function, and an input for triggering imaging When receiving (eg, selecting the icon 712 for photographing), the occurrence of the event may be identified. The electronic device 100 uses the mobile device 430 (eg, a motor to rotate the roller 151 ) based on receiving an input triggering the shooting while the shooting mode of the application is set to a specific shooting mode. driving) to control the flexible display (eg, the display 103 of FIGS. 1 to 3 ) to slide and move, and control the shooting of at least one camera as will be described later.

According to various embodiments, when the occurrence of the photographing event is identified, the electronic device 100 uses at least one camera (eg, 511 and 512) to photograph a plurality of images based on the specified information in operation 603 . can be controlled For example, the electronic device 100 may start a photographing operation in a specific photographing mode (eg, a super sampler photographing mode) based on the identification of the occurrence of the event. As described above, the specific shooting mode is a function of the shooting control module 452, and may be implemented as computer code, instructions, or a part of a specific app (eg, a camera application) (eg, a shooting mode function of the camera application). . During at least a partial time period during which the flexible display (eg, the display 103 of FIGS. 1 to 3 ) slides (eg, 501 and 502 of FIG. 5A , FIG. 5B , or FIG. 5C ), the electronic device 100 performs a plurality of The at least one camera (eg, 511 or 512 ) (eg, a front camera or a rear camera) may be controlled to capture images or a plurality of images. At least a partial time period in which the flexible display (eg, the display 103 of FIGS. 1 to 3 ) is slid is a time period during which the flexible display (eg, the display 103 of FIGS. 1 to 3 ) is slid. In addition, the time when the slide movement of the flexible display (eg, the display 103 of FIGS. 1 to 3 ) starts and the time when the slide movement of the flexible display (eg, the display 103 of FIGS. 1 to 3 ) is completed It may mean a time period in a broad sense including For example, the electronic device 100 takes a picture at a point in time when a slide movement of the flexible display (eg, the display 103 of FIGS. 1 to 3 ) starts (or at a point in time when the occurrence of the event for the picture is identified) Control the camera to perform the following, and continuously control to perform shooting while the flexible display (eg, the display 103 of FIGS. 1 to 3) is sliding and/or when the flexible display is finished sliding. have. The flexible display (eg, the display 103 of FIGS. 1 to 3 ) (or the first structure 101 , or the first plate 101a ) slides in one direction (eg, slide-out movement, slide-in movement). ), the at least one camera (eg, 511, 512) may be moved in one direction. The electronic device 100 performs the at least one camera (eg, 511, 512) at each position changed as it moves in one direction or while the at least one camera (eg, 511, 512) moves in one direction. It is possible to control to perform a photographing operation at each viewpoint. Meanwhile, without being limited to the above description, the electronic device 100 also shoots before or after the flexible display (eg, the display 103 of FIGS. 1 to 3 ) slides based on the identification of the occurrence of the event. The at least one camera (eg, 511 or 512 ) may be controlled to perform an operation.

According to various embodiments, the electronic device 100 may control a photographing operation of the at least one camera (eg, 511 , 512 ) based on various information. For example, the electronic device 100 may set a shooting characteristic (eg, exposure time (or, shutter speed) and number of shots). Also, for example, the electronic device 100 determines that the at least one camera (eg, 511 and 512 ) is configured based on the specified second information (eg, slide movement distance, time information, slide movement speed and/or acceleration). At least one camera (eg, 511, 512) performs shooting at each of different time points or at each of different positions (hereinafter, camera positions) of at least one camera (eg, 511, 512) can be controlled to do so. In this case, when the flexible display 103 is not slid, the electronic device 100 shortens the exposure time during shooting while the flexible display 103 is slid than the exposure time during shooting to reduce motion blur. blur) effect can be controlled to be reduced. Referring to FIG. 8 , the speed at which frame data is read out from the photoelectric devices 801 arranged for each pixel arranged in a plurality of rows and columns included in the camera according to the control of the exposure time (or , frame rate) can be controlled. Hereinafter, examples of operations for controlling at least one camera (eg, 511 and 512 ) based on the specified information of the electronic device 100 will be described.

First, an example of an operation for controlling the photographing characteristics (eg, exposure time (or shutter speed), number of times) of at least one camera (eg, 511 or 512 ) of the electronic device 100 will be described below. The operation of controlling the at least one camera (eg, 511, 512) to take pictures, which will be described below, is performed by manually sliding the flexible display (eg, the display 103 of FIGS. 1 to 3 ) by the user or by using the processor. This may be applied mutatis mutandis to all cases in which the flexible display (eg, the display 103 of FIGS. 1 to 3 ) is slid by control.

According to various embodiments, the electronic device 100 (eg, the shooting control module 452 of the processor 450 ) uses at least one camera (eg, based on external illumination or a slide movement speed) as shown in FIG. 8 . : You can control the exposure time (or shutter speed) of 511, 512). As an image or video is captured by the at least one camera (eg, 511, 512) while the at least one camera (eg, 511, 512) is moved in one direction, motion blur in the captured image or video ) may occur. To reduce this, the electronic device 100 may control the exposure time (or shutter speed). For example, the electronic device 100 sets an exposure time during photographing while the flexible display 103 is slid, rather than an exposure time during photographing (hereinafter, referred to as general photographing) when the flexible display 103 does not slide. It is possible to control so that the motion blur effect is reduced by making it shorter. As an example, the electronic device 100 sets an exposure time during photographing while the flexible display 103 slides than a specific threshold time (eg, an exposure time during normal photographing, or a time lower than an exposure time during general photographing). can be controlled shorter. As another example, the electronic device 100 limits the exposure time during general shooting to a first range (eg, a range of about 10 to 100, and the unit is a time unit such as ms), and the flexible display 103 slides During the shooting, the exposure time may be limited to a second range (eg, a range of about 10 to 50, a unit of time such as ms) in which the highest value is lower than the highest value of the first range. In this case, the electronic device 100 sets (or limits) a specified lower limit value (eg, 10) of the exposure time during photographing while the flexible display slides, so that an appropriate motion blur effect is applied to each of the photographed images. can be applied. The specific threshold time may be adjusted by at least one of an external illuminance or a slide movement speed. For example, the electronic device 100 may adjust the specific threshold time in inverse proportion to an external illuminance value detected by an external illuminance sensor among sensors (eg, at least one sensor 410 of FIG. 4 ). Accordingly, the electronic device 100 controls the exposure time to be relatively high by relatively increasing the specific threshold time as the external illuminance is low, and controls the specific threshold time to be relatively low as the external illuminance is high to shorten the exposure time. can do. Also, for example, the electronic device 100 may control the specific threshold time in inverse proportion to the slide movement speed. Accordingly, the electronic device 100 controls the exposure time to be relatively high by relatively increasing the specific threshold time as the slide moving speed is low, and controls the specific critical time to be relatively low as the slide moving speed is high to make the exposure time relatively high. can be shortened to The electronic device 100 identifies the external illuminance or the slide movement speed of the flexible display (eg, the display 103 of FIGS. 1 to 3 ) at a time when the occurrence of the event for triggering the photographing is identified, and identifies The plurality of times of photographing of the at least one camera (eg, 511 and 512 ) may be controlled with the same exposure time corresponding to at least one of external illuminance and movement speed. In addition, the electronic device 100 identifies and identifies the external illuminance value or the slide movement speed for each time point at which the electronic device 100 controls the at least one camera (eg, 511, 512) to perform a plurality of photographing, respectively. It is also possible to identify the same or different exposure times corresponding to the specified external illuminance or movement speed, and control the at least one camera (eg, 511 and 512) with the identified exposure times.

According to various embodiments, the electronic device 100 may perform shooting a specified number of times using at least one camera based on the occurrence of the event. The specified number of times may be a preset value. Also, the preset value may be adjusted on the execution screen of the camera application by a user input. For example, the electronic device 100 may provide, on the execution screen 711 of the camera application, an interface for setting characteristics of a photographing performed in response to the occurrence of the event together with a preview image.

Hereinafter, at least one camera of the electronic device 100 captures images at different time points or at different positions (hereinafter, camera positions) of at least one camera (eg, 511 and 512 ). An example of an operation to be controlled to be performed will be described. The operation of controlling the at least one camera (eg, 511 and 512) to take pictures, which will be described below, is performed by manually sliding the flexible display (eg, the display 103 of FIGS. 1 to 3 ) by the user or by using the processor. This may be applied mutatis mutandis to all cases in which the flexible display (eg, the display 103 of FIGS. 1 to 3 ) is slid by control.

According to various embodiments, the electronic device 100 is associated with sliding movement of the flexible display (eg, the display 103 of FIGS. 1 to 3 ) (or the first structure 101 or the first plate 101a). Based on the characteristic, the at least one camera (eg, 511, 512) may be controlled to capture a plurality of images while the flexible display (eg, the display 103 of FIGS. 1 to 3 ) is slid. . The characteristic associated with the slide movement may include at least one of a sliding distance and a speed and/or acceleration during the slide movement. For example, the electronic device 100 determines at least one of the sliding distance and the speed and/or acceleration during the sliding movement based on a value detected by at least one sensor of the electronic device 100 described above. can be identified. At least one sensor for acquiring the distance through which the electronic device 100 slides and the speed and/or acceleration during the slide movement is the same as described above with reference to FIG. 4 , and thus a redundant description will be omitted.

For example, the electronic device 100 identifies the distance (eg, d1, d2, d3) through which the flexible display (eg, the display 103 of FIGS. 1 to 3 ) is slid as shown in FIG. 9A , and , when the identified distance corresponds to the specified distance (eg, is reached), at least one camera (eg, 511, 512) may be controlled to perform shooting. As shown in 901 of FIG. 9A , the electronic device 100 controls at least one camera (eg, 511, 512) at the point in time when the occurrence of the event is identified to perform a photographing (eg, photographing the subject S). can be done As shown in 902 , 903 , and 904 of FIG. 9A , the electronic device 100 slides the flexible display (eg, the display 103 of FIGS. 1 to 3 ) and then moves the flexible display (eg, FIG. 1 ). When the display 103 of FIG. 3) identifies that the slidable distance corresponds to the specified distances (eg, d1, d2, d3), control at least one camera (eg, 511, 512) to start shooting can be done The specified distances (eg, d1, d2, d3) are the maximum distance that the flexible display (eg, the display 103 of FIGS. 1 to 3 ) slides and the flexible display (eg, the display of FIGS. 1 to 3 ). (103)) may be determined based on the number of times the photographing is performed while the slide is moved (hereinafter, referred to as the number of movement photographing). For example, the designated distances (eg, d1 , d2 , d3 ) may be determined as many as corresponding to the number of moving shots, and may be set to the same value. For example, the specified distances are a value (eg, 13mm) (or a divided value) corresponding to a value (eg, 13mm) obtained by dividing the maximum distance (eg, 40mm) by the number of moving shots (eg, 3 times) can be set to Also, for example, without being limited thereto, the specified distances (eg, d1, d2, d3) corresponding to the number of moving shots (eg, 3) have different values, but the sum may correspond to the maximum distance. . Meanwhile, without being limited thereto, when the total number of photographing including the number of moving photographing is 4, the flexible display (eg, the display 103 of FIGS. 1 to 3 ) starts to slide. A point (or, a point where the slide movement of the flexible display (eg, the display 103 of FIGS. 1 to 3 ) is completed by performing photographing at a point in time, performing photographing twice at each of the distances (eg, d1, d2) Photographing may be performed on a flexible display (eg, a state in which the display 103 of FIGS. 1 to 3 is fully expanded).

Also, for example, as illustrated in FIG. 9B , the electronic device 100 may control at least one camera (eg, 511 , 512 ) to perform photographing for each designated time points. For example, the electronic device 100 may control at least one camera (eg, 511 , 512 ) to perform photographing for each designated time point. For example, as shown in 911 of FIG. 9B , the electronic device 100 controls at least one camera (eg, 511, 512) at a time point (eg, t1) when the occurrence of an event is identified to perform photographing. have. As shown in 912 , 913 , and 914 of FIG. 9B , the electronic device 100 determines a time (eg, t1 ) (or t1 ) when the flexible display (eg, the display 103 of FIGS. 1 to 3 ) starts to slide. , at least one camera (eg, 511 , 512 ) may be controlled for each preset time point (eg, t2, t3, t4) to perform photographing. The preset time points are taken while the flexible display (eg, the display 103 of FIGS. 1 to 3 ) slides and the flexible display (eg, the display 103 of FIGS. 1 to 3 ) slides. It may be determined based on the number of times (hereinafter, the number of moving photographing) to be performed. Here, the time (eg, 1 sec) during which the flexible display (eg, the display 103 of FIGS. 1 to 3 ) slide moves to the maximum for the flexible display (eg, the display 103 of FIGS. 1 to 3 ). It may be calculated based on (eg, dividing) a distance (eg, 40 mm) and a moving speed (eg, 40 mm/sec) of the flexible display (eg, the display 103 of FIGS. 1 to 3 ). According to the time that the calculated flexible display (eg, the display 103 of FIGS. 1 to 3 ) slides and the number of moving shots, the time interval (eg, ts,1, ts,2, The designated time points may be set so that ts,3) are equal to each other. For example, the designated time points are from a time point (eg, t1 ) when the flexible display (eg, the display 103 of FIGS. 1 to 3 ) is slid to the flexible display (eg, the display 103 of FIGS. 1 to 3 ). )) is a value (eg, 0.3 sec) (or divided by a value) corresponding to a value (eg, 0.33 sec) divided by the number of times (eg, 3) of the moving time (eg, 1 sec) It may be time points set at intervals (or repeated periodically). Also, for example, without being limited to the description, the designated time points are time points set with time intervals of different values (eg, ts,1, ts,2, ts,3), but the time between the designated time points The sum of the intervals (eg, ts,1, ts,2, ts,3) may correspond to the time (eg, 1sec) that the flexible display (eg, the display 103 of FIGS. 1 to 3 ) slides. . Meanwhile, without being limited thereto, when the total number of photographing including the number of moving photographing is 4, the flexible display (eg, the display 103 of FIGS. 1 to 3 ) starts to slide. The photographing is performed at the time point, and the photographing is performed twice at the time points (eg, t2, t3) according to the calculated time interval, and the flexible display (eg, the display 103 of FIGS. 1 to 3) slides. Shooting may also be performed at the time of completion.

Also, for example, as shown in FIG. 9C , the electronic device 100 includes a flexible display (eg, the display 103 of FIGS. 1 to 3 ) (or the first structure 101 , or the first plate 101a). ) may be controlled so that at least one camera (eg, 511, 512) performs shooting based on the slide movement speed or acceleration. For example, when the slide movement speed (eg, v1, v2, v3, v4) corresponds to a specific value or corresponds to a specific range, the electronic device 100 may include at least one camera (eg, 511, 512) can be controlled. As an example, the electronic device 100 controls at least one camera (eg, 511, 512) at a point in time (eg, t1) when the occurrence of an event is identified as shown in 921 of FIG. 9C to perform photographing. have. Thereafter, the electronic device 100 uses a sensor to slide the flexible display (eg, the display 103 of FIGS. 1 to 3 ) while the flexible display (eg, the display 103 of FIGS. 1 to 3 ) moves. Identifies the speed at which the slide is moved, and as shown in 922, 923, and 924 of FIG. 9C, the speed at which the flexible display (for example, the display 103 of FIGS. 1 to 3) slides is a specified value (for example: If the value is slightly greater than 0), at least one camera (eg, 511, 512) may be controlled to perform shooting. Also, for example, the electronic device 100 identifies the amount of change in the slide movement speed and, when the identified amount of change corresponds to a specific value or a specific range, at least one camera (eg, 511, 512) to perform photographing. can control As an example, when the amount of change in the movement speed is less than a specified value (or greater than or equal to a specified value), the electronic device 100 may control at least one camera (eg, 511 or 512 ) to perform photographing. Also, for example, when the acceleration at which the flexible display (eg, the display 103 of FIGS. 1 to 3 ) slides corresponds to a specific value or corresponds to a specific range, the electronic device 100 performs at least One camera (eg, 511, 512) can be controlled. As an example, the electronic device 100 uses a sensor to slide the flexible display (eg, the display 103 of FIGS. 1 to 3 ) while the flexible display (eg, the display 103 of FIGS. 1 to 3 ) slides. identifies the acceleration that slides on, and causes at least one camera (eg 511, 512) to perform the shooting if the identified acceleration is less than (or greater than or equal to a specified value) a specified value (eg, slightly greater than 0). can be controlled

Also, for example, the electronic device 100 may display at least two of a distance at which the above-described flexible display (eg, the display 103 of FIGS. 1 to 3 ) slide moves, designated time points, a slide movement speed, or a slide movement acceleration. Based on the , at least one camera (eg, 511, 512) may be controlled to perform photographing. For example, the electronic device 100 may include a flexible display (eg, the display 103 of FIGS. 1 to 3 ) (or the first structure 101 ) as shown in 941 , 942 , 943 , and 944 of FIG. 9D . , or the first plate 101a) to perform shooting based on the sliding distance (eg, d1, d2, d3) and designated time points (eg, t1, t2, t3) at least one camera (eg: 511, 512) can be controlled. For example, the electronic device 100 may set a distance at which the flexible display 103 corresponding to each time point (eg, t1, t2, t3) is to be slid. When photographing is performed, the electronic device 100 performs photographing according to a result of determining whether the flexible display 103 slides to a distance corresponding to each viewpoint for each viewpoint (eg, slides to a distance corresponding to the viewpoint) If it is moved, shooting can be performed). For example, as shown in 942 of FIG. 9D , the electronic device 100 identifies a sliding current distance of the flexible display 103 at a specified time point (eg, t2), and a time point at which the identified distance is specified. It may be determined whether or not the distance (eg, d1) is equal to or greater than a distance (eg, d1) corresponding to (eg, t2). The electronic device 100 controls at least one camera (eg, 511, 512) to perform photographing when the slide-moved distance is greater than or equal to a distance (eg, d1) corresponding to a specified time (eg, t2), and the If the distance moved by the slide is less than the distance (eg d1) corresponding to the specified time point (eg t2), refrain from shooting and display a message (or pop-up screen) to indicate that shooting is not possible or a shooting error is displayed on the execution screen of the camera application. can be displayed in The message may include content instructing the user to manually move the flexible display 103 . Accordingly, when the user cannot manually slide the flexible display 103 at an appropriate speed, an unnecessary photographing operation is prevented from being performed, thereby reducing the operational burden of the electronic device 100 .

Meanwhile, according to various embodiments, the electronic device 100 determines whether the movement of the flexible display 103 is manually performed by the user (manual mode) or the processor 450 (eg, the movement control module 451). According to whether or not it is performed by the auto mode, shooting may be controlled based on the information described in FIGS. 9A to 9C (eg, a slide movement distance, a specified time, a speed, and/or an acceleration). For example, when the flexible display 103 is moved manually by the user, the electronic device 100 controls the photographing according to the slide movement distance (eg, the embodiment of FIG. 9A ) or controls the slide movement speed and/or Alternatively, imaging may be controlled (eg, the embodiment of FIG. 9C ) according to acceleration. For example, when the movement of the flexible display 103 is performed under the control of the processor 450 , the electronic device 100 controls shooting for each specified time (eg, the embodiment of FIG. 9B ) or a slide movement distance and It is possible to control shooting according to a specified time (eg, the embodiment of FIG. 9D ).

According to various embodiments, the electronic device 100 may provide a function of editing or storing a plurality of images and/or a plurality of images obtained according to the photographing operation. For example, the electronic device 100 displays a plurality of photographed images and/or each of the plurality of photographed images so that a user can check it, and an input for storage (eg, selecting an icon that triggers storage) input), a plurality of images and/or a plurality of captured images may be stored (eg, stored in a memory or a gallery folder). Also, for example, the electronic device 100 displays a plurality of photographed images and/or each of the plurality of photographed images so that the user can check the plurality of photographed images and/or the plurality of photographed images. It is possible to provide a function of storing one selected content among them. Also, without being limited thereto, the electronic device 100 generates new content based on at least some of the plurality of captured images and/or the plurality of images and provides it to the user (eg, display, editing, and storage functions). provided), which will be described below.

According to various embodiments of the present disclosure, the electronic device 100 may display while the flexible display (eg, the display 103 of FIGS. 1 to 3 ) (or the first structure 101 or the first plate 101a) is slidably moved. An image may be generated based on at least a part of the plurality of photographed images.

According to various embodiments, the electronic device 100 (eg, the processor 450 of FIG. 4 ) may identify the occurrence of an event for photographing in operation 1001 . For example, the electronic device 100 executes an application (eg, a camera application) implemented to provide a photographing function, and a flexible display (eg, the display 103 of FIGS. 1 to 3 ) during the execution of the application (or When the slide movement of the first structure 101 (or the first plate 101a) is identified, the occurrence of the event may be identified. The slide movement of the flexible display (eg, the display 103 of FIGS. 1 to 3 ) is manually performed by the user (eg, the flexible display (eg, the display 103 of FIGS. 1 to 3 ) by the user (or the first pulling the first structure 101 (or the first plate 101a) in one direction) or by the control of the processor 450 (eg, the movement control module 451 of FIG. 4 ). Also, for example, the electronic device 100 identifies a slide movement of the flexible display (eg, the display 103 of FIGS. 1 to 3 ) and an icon set to trigger shooting implemented on the execution screen of the camera application. When identifying a touch of , it is possible to identify the occurrence of the event. Also, for example, the electronic device 100 enters a specific photographing mode implemented in the camera application (eg, a super sampler photographing mode) and an input triggering photographing (eg, selecting an icon for photographing). ), it is possible to identify the occurrence of the event. Since operation 1001 of the electronic device 100 may be performed in the same manner as operations 601 to 603 of the electronic device 100 described above, a redundant description will be omitted.

According to various embodiments, in operation 1003 , the electronic device 100 controls at least one camera to capture a plurality of images while the flexible display (eg, the display 103 of FIGS. 1 to 3 ) slides. can For example, in the electronic device 100, the flexible display (eg, the display 103 of FIGS. 1 to 3 ) slides (eg, 501 and 502 of FIG. 5A , FIG. 5B , or FIG. 5C ). During the operation, the at least one camera (eg, the front camera 511 or the rear camera 512) may be controlled to capture a plurality of images or a plurality of images. At least a partial time period in which the flexible display (eg, the display 103 of FIGS. 1 to 3 ) is slid is a time period during which the flexible display (eg, the display 103 of FIGS. 1 to 3 ) is slid. In addition, the time when the slide movement of the flexible display (eg, the display 103 of FIGS. 1 to 3 ) starts and the time when the slide movement of the flexible display (eg, the display 103 of FIGS. 1 to 3 ) is completed It may mean a time period in a broad sense including For example, the electronic device 100 takes a picture at a point in time when the slide movement of the flexible display (eg, the display 103 of FIGS. 1 to 3 ) starts (or at a point in time when the occurrence of the event for the picture is identified) The camera (eg, 512) may be controlled to perform the operation, and then the flexible display (eg, the display 103 of FIGS. 1 to 3) may be controlled to perform photographing while sliding. The electronic device 100 captures at least one camera (eg, 512) based on various information (eg, at least one of external illuminance, slide movement speed, slide movement distance, time information, slide movement speed, and/or acceleration) A characteristic (eg, exposure time (or shutter speed)) or a shooting time and/or shooting location of at least one camera (eg, 512) may be controlled. Accordingly, while the flexible display (eg, the display 103 of FIGS. 1 to 3 ) (or the first structure 101 , or the first plate 101a ) is slid, the electronic device 100 is displayed in FIG. 11 . As illustrated in , at least one subject may be continuously photographed. Based on the continuous shooting, the electronic device 100 may display an image acquired for each shooting on a slidable flexible display (eg, the display 103 of FIGS. 1 to 3 ). For example, before the flexible display (eg, the display 103 of FIGS. 1 to 3 ) is slid as shown in 1101 of FIG. 11 , the electronic device 100 displays the subject ( A preview image including S1) may be displayed. When the flexible display (eg, the display 103 of FIGS. 1 to 3 ) is slid as shown in 1102 of FIG. 11 , the electronic device 100 acquires a partial area of the first captured image as will be described later. Thus, the flexible display (eg, the display 103 of FIGS. 1 to 3 ) may be displayed on the side end area of the flexible display (eg, the display 103 of FIGS. 1 to 3 ) in a sliding direction. Thereafter, as shown in 1102 , 1103 , and 1104 of FIG. 11 , the electronic device 100 sequentially acquires a partial area of the images taken continuously to display a flexible display (eg, the display 103 of FIGS. 1 to 3 ). ) can be displayed in the remaining area. Finally, when the slide movement of the flexible display (eg, the display 103 of FIGS. 1 to 3 ) is completed, the electronic device 100 displays an image generated based on at least some of a plurality of images to be described later. It may be displayed on a flexible display (eg, the display 103 of FIGS. 1 to 3 ). The electronic device 100 may provide functions for editing one generated image together with the display of the one generated image and a function for storing (eg, storing in a gallery folder) the generated or edited image. Since operation 1003 of the electronic device 100 may be performed like operation 603 of the above-described electronic device 100 , a redundant description will be omitted.

According to various embodiments, the electronic device 100 may generate an image based on at least some of the plurality of images captured in operation 1005 . For example, the electronic device 100 obtains an image of a partial region from each of a plurality of images captured at different viewpoints or at different positions of cameras (eg, 512 ), and includes the obtained image of the partial region. You can create an image of a to-do. Hereinafter, examples of an operation of generating an image of the electronic device 100 will be described.

According to various embodiments, the electronic device 100 may display a plurality of images (eg, a first image 1211 and a second image 1212 ) captured at different viewpoints or at different positions of cameras (eg, 512 ). , the third image 1213 , and the fourth image 1214) may be cropped from respective images of regions corresponding to each other, and images of the cropped regions may be synthesized to generate an image (eg, 1221 ). For example, as shown in 1201 of FIG. 12A , the electronic device 100 receives the first image 1211 having a size (eg, a size of a 4:3 ratio) corresponding to the angle of view of the camera (eg, 512). A first sub-image that is a part of the first image may be obtained by cropping a designated area 1215 of a designated size (eg, a size of a 20:7 ratio). The specified size is smaller than the size of the photographed image, and may be determined according to the number of images photographed while the flexible display (eg, the display 103 of FIGS. 1 to 3 ) is slid. For example, the larger the number of the captured images, the smaller the designated size may be. The designated area may be an area including the center point of the captured image as shown in 1201 of FIG. 12A . Also, without being limited thereto, the designated area may be various areas (eg, a left area, a right area, an upper area, a lower area) of the captured image. The electronic device 100 collects the information from other images (eg, the second image 1212 , the third image 1213 , and the fourth image 1214 ) having the same size (eg, a size of a 4:3 ratio). A second sub-image that is a part of the second image, a part of the third image by cropping the same area (1216, 1217, 1218) of the designated area of the same size as the designated size (eg, a size of 20:7 ratio) A third sub-image and a fourth sub-image that is a part of the fourth image may be obtained. As illustrated in 1202 of FIG. 12A , the electronic device 100 may generate an image 1221 of a specific size by synthesizing each sub-image. For example, the specific size of the generated image 1221 may correspond to the size of the captured image (eg, a size of 4:3 ratio). Also, without being limited thereto, the electronic device 100 may generate an image having a size larger or smaller than the size of the captured image (eg, 1211, 1212, 1213, 1214) based on the plurality of sub-images. have. The electronic device 100 may synthesize each of the sub-images according to a time sequence associated with the sub-images. For example, the electronic device 100 displays one sub-image on a flexible display (eg, in a region in which other sub-images are arranged) as the order (or viewpoint) in which one sub-image is captured is earlier than the order in which other sub-images are captured. The display 103 of FIGS. 1 to 3 may be disposed on the side end area in the sliding direction. For example, as shown in 1202 of FIG. 12A , the electronic device 100 operates from the left in the order of the first sub-image to the fourth sub-image so as to be included in an image of a specific size (eg, a size of 4:3 ratio). It can be synthesized by placing it in the right direction. The electronic device 100 may identify regions overlapping each other when synthesizing the sub-images, and insert at least one color, a specified pattern, and an image into the identified overlapping regions. For example, as shown in 1202 of FIG. 12A , the electronic device 100 sets one sub-image (eg, the first sub-image 1222) sequentially arranged with each other and another sub-image (eg, the second sub-image ( 1223)), and a specific color 1231 (or pattern, or image) may be displayed (or set) on the identified overlapping area as shown in 1203 of FIG. 12A . Accordingly, the generated image 1221 may include a specific color (or pattern, or image) between the sub-images together with an area including each cropped sub-image. Also, when the sum of the sizes of the sub-images is smaller than the size of the image 1221 to be generated when the sub-images are synthesized, the electronic device 100 may identify a gap between the sub-images. A gap between the sub images may have the same size or may be set to have different sizes. The electronic device 100 may display (or set) a specific color (or pattern, or image) in the identified space.

According to various embodiments, the electronic device 100 is not limited to the description, but crops regions of various sizes at various locations from each of a plurality of photographed images, and synthesizes images of the cropped regions to generate one image. can do. For example, the electronic device 100

crops regions

1242 , 1243 , 1244 , and 1245 of different sizes (or different shapes) from the captured images as shown in 1241 of FIG. 12B , and crops them. One image 1221 may be generated by synthesizing the sub-images. For example, the electronic device 100 randomly selects one size from among a plurality of sizes to be cropped, and selects

regions

1242 and 1243 of different sizes (or different shapes) from the images taken by the selected size. 1244, 1245) can be cropped. As another example, the electronic device 100 recognizes a region of interest (eg, a region of interest (ROI)) of each of the captured images, and has different sizes (or different shapes) of interest from the respective captured images.

Regions

1242 , 1243 , 1244 , and 1245 may be cropped. Without being limited thereto, the size of the relevant area may be the same. Also, for example, the electronic device 100 may generate one image by cropping different regions from the captured image. For example, the

regions

1252 , 1253 , 1254 , and 1255 cropped for each of the captured images may correspond to a shooting order (or shooting time) of the captured images as shown in 1251 of FIG. 12B . In the electronic device 100, the direction in which the flexible display (eg, the display 103 of FIGS. 1 to 3 ) slides from the image as the order (or viewpoint) in which images are captured is earlier than the order in which other images are captured. You can crop some areas of the sides of the furnace. The electronic device 100 is not limited thereto, and the above-described descriptions may be applied mutatis mutandis even when the sizes of respective images are different due to different angles of view of a photographed camera (eg, 512 ).

According to various embodiments, the electronic device 100 may store the generated image in the electronic device 100 (eg, a memory or a gallery folder). For example, after the slide movement of the flexible display (eg, the display 103 of FIGS. 1 to 3 ) is completed, the electronic device 100 may display the generated image on the execution screen of the camera application. When receiving an input for storing the displayed image, the electronic device 100 may store the generated image. Also, for example, after the slide movement of the flexible display (eg, the display 103 of FIGS. 1 to 3 ) is completed, the electronic device 100 may automatically store the generated image.

According to various embodiments of the present disclosure, the electronic device 100 may display while the flexible display (eg, the display 103 of FIGS. 1 to 3 ) (or the first structure 101 or the first plate 101a) is slidably moved. Acquiring a plurality of images using a plurality of cameras (eg, the first camera 1411 and the second camera 1412 of FIG. 14 ) having different functions (or uses) (eg, angle of view, front or rear) And, one image may be generated based on at least a part of the plurality of images.

A plurality of cameras having a function (or use) may be controlled. The plurality of cameras having different functions may include cameras having different angles of view and a plurality of cameras disposed in front or rear. While the flexible display (eg, the display 103 of FIGS. 1 to 3 ) is slid, the electronic device 100 provides a different viewpoint or different flexible display (eg, the display 103 of FIGS. 1 to 3 ). The plurality of cameras having the different functions may be controlled to perform shooting at different positions according to the slide movement of the . For example, as shown in 1401 to 1402 of FIG. 14 , the electronic device 100 may include a flexible display (eg, the display 103 of FIGS. 1 to 3 ) (or a first structure 101 , or a first While the plate 101a) is slidably moved, photographing may be performed using the first camera 1411 having the first angle of view θ1 and the second camera 1412 having the second angle of view θ2.
