1. An electronic device comprising:
a display including a first area and a second area, wherein the first area is exposed to outside of the electronic device in a first state and a second state of the electronic device, and the second area is not exposed to the outside of the electronic device in the first state of the electronic device and is exposed to the outside of the electronic device in the second state of the electronic device;
memory storing one or more computer programs; and
one or more processors communicatively coupled to the display and the memory,
wherein the one or more computer programs include computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors individually or collectively, cause the electronic device to:
control the display to display a first screen in the first area of the display in the first state of the electronic device,
while the first screen is displayed in the first area, detect an event causing a first object to be displayed,
control, based on detection of the event, the display to display the first object corresponding to the event in a partial area of the first area, the first object being displayed on at least a part of the first screen in the first area,
identify a first gesture input of a user in an area in which the first object is displayed,
based on identifying an area ratio of a size of the first object to a size of the first area being equal to or greater than a designated ratio and identifying the first gesture input, control the electronic device to change a state of the electronic device from the first state to the second state, and
based on identifying the area ratio being less than the designated ratio and identifying the first gesture input, control the electronic device to maintain the state of the electronic device in the first state.
