Abstract
An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a sensor circuit, a display, a processor operationally connected to the sensor circuit and the display, and a memory operationally connected to the processor, wherein the processor may detect, via the sensor circuit, whether the electronic device is unfolded at a predetermined angle, detect a placement state of the electronic device via the sensor circuit when the electronic device is unfolded at the predetermined angle, when the detected placement state of the electronic device is a first state, control the electronic device to operate in a first operation mode corresponding to the first state, and when the detected placement state of the electronic device is a second state, control the electronic device to operate in a second operation mode corresponding to the second state.
