3 . The electronic device of claim 2 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the at least one processor individually and/or collectively, cause the electronic device to perform a designated heat dissipation control operation with respect to the determined heat generation level.

4 . The electronic device of claim 3 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the at least one processor individually and/or collectively, cause the electronic device to determine a next heat dissipation control operation based on a result according to the designated heat dissipation control operation with respect to the determined heat generation level.

5 . The electronic device of claim 2 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the at least one processor individually and/or collectively, cause the electronic device to:

identify temperature information or operation state information of the electronic device based on the designated heat dissipation control operation with respect to the determined heat generation level; and

re-determine another heat generation level among the multiple heat generation levels.

6 . The electronic device of claim 5 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the at least one processor individually and/or collectively, cause the electronic device to change the size of the flexible display based on the another heat generation level.

7 . The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the at least one processor individually and/or collectively, cause the electronic device to:

acquire multiple temperature information from multiple components of the electronic device; and

calculate temperature information of the electronic device based on the multiple temperature information of the multiple components.

8 . The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the at least one processor individually and/or collectively, cause the electronic device to provide a notification comprising a size change of the flexible display through the flexible display.

9 . The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the operation state information of the electronic device comprises operation state information of at least one processor.

10 . A method of operating an electronic device comprising two or more housings, a flexible display mounted to one or more housings among the two or more housings and configured to be expanded or reduced according to a sliding operation of one or more housings among the two or more housings, the method comprising:

identifying operation state information and temperature information of the electronic device;

identifying expansion state information of the flexible display; and

changing a size of the flexible display in stages by sliding the one or more housings, based on a change in the operation state information and the temperature information.

identifying temperature information or operation state information of the electronic device according to the designated heat dissipation control operation with respect to the determined heat generation level; and

re-determining another heat generation level among the multiple heat generation levels.

15 . The method of claim 14 , further comprising re-changing the size of the flexible display to a first size or a second size, based on the another heat generation level.

16 . The method of claim 10 , further comprising:

acquiring multiple temperature information from multiple components of the electronic device; and

calculating temperature information of the electronic device based on the multiple temperature information of the multiple components.
