1. An electronic device comprising:
- a display;
an audio output unit; and
a controller configured to;
detect a request for execution of a first application while outputting sound in a particular sound output mode through the audio output unit,control display, on the display, of an execution screen of the requested first application based on detecting the request for execution of the first application,identify that the audio output unit is outputting sound in the particular sound output mode at a time associated with the request for execution of the first application,determine whether to perform an operation directed to controlling the particular sound output mode based on the identification that the audio output unit is outputting sound in the particular sound output mode and the request for execution of the first application; and
based on a determination to perform the operation directed to controlling the particular sound output mode, perform the operation directed to controlling the particular sound output mode in a state of displaying the execution screen of the requested first application.

12. An electronic device comprising:
-
a display; and a controller configured to; detect a start of a communication; determine that the display is displaying an application execution screen at a time associated with the start of the communication; and based on the start of the communication and the determination that the display is displaying an application execution screen at the time associated with the start of the communication, control display of the application execution screen together with a guide screen related to the communication.

13. An electronic device comprising:
-
an audio output unit; a communication sound adjustment button that is configured to raise or lower a sound level of the audio output unit throughout a range of at least four sound levels; and a controller configured to; perform communication based on a particular sound output mode; obtain, through the communication sound adjustment button and while performing communication based on the particular sound output mode, a control signal for controlling the particular sound output mode; and perform an operation directed to controlling the particular communication sound output mode based on the control signal. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A method of operating an electronic device, the method comprising:
-
outputting, through an audio output unit, sound in a particular sound output mode; receiving a request for execution of a first application while outputting sound in the particular sound output mode; controlling display, on a display, of an execution screen of the requested first application based on receiving the request for execution of the first application; identifying that the audio output unit is outputting sound in the particular sound output mode at a time associated with the request for execution of the first application; determining whether to perform an operation directed to controlling the particular sound output mode based on the identification that the audio output unit is outputting sound in the particular sound output mode and the request for execution of the first application; and based on a determination to perform the operation directed to controlling the particular sound output mode, performing the operation directed to controlling the particular sound output mode in a state of displaying the execution screen of the requested first application. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23)
