Electronic device and volume adjustment method of electronic device

1. A method of controlling volume of an electronic device, the method comprising:

receiving a first input signal of a user for requesting to display a volume control user interface (UI);

selectively displaying a first volume control UI or a second volume control UI corresponding to whether a content is being played, based on the first input signal;

receiving a second input signal of the user through the first or second volume control UI; and

controlling a volume level for the content and a volume level for a function of the electronic device together while interconnecting the volume level for the content and the volume level for the function of the electronic device based on the second input signal through the first volume control UI when the content is being played, and

controlling one of the volume level for the content and the volume level for the function of the electronic device independently of a remaining volume level based on the second input signal through the second volume control UI when the content is not being played.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the controlling of the volume level for the content and the volume level for the function of the electronic device includes:

controlling the volume level for the content; and

controlling the volume level for the function of the electronic device corresponding to an output volume value of the content output at the controlled volume level for a specified time.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the output volume value of the content includes:

an equivalent sound level value of the content output at the controlled volume level for the specified time.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the controlling of the volume level for the content and the volume level for the function of the electronic device includes:

controlling the volume level for the content and the volume level for the function of the electronic device while interconnecting the volume level for the content and the volume level for the function of the electronic device based on a sound output type for the function of the electronic device.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the sound output type for the function includes:

at least one of a type of pausing a sound for the content and outputting a sound for the function, a type of reducing the sound for the content and outputting the sound for the function, and a type of outputting the sound for the function while maintaining the sound of the content.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the selective displaying of the first or second volume control UI includes:

activating and displaying a volume adjuster for the content included in the first volume control UI to be operable, and deactivating and displaying a volume adjuster for the function to be inoperable when the first volume control UI is selected and displayed.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the selective displaying of the first or second volume control UI includes:

activating and displaying each of a volume adjuster for the content and a volume adjuster for the function included in the second volume control UI to be independently operable when the second volume control UI is selected and displayed.

8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

changing and displaying a volume level graphic for a content included in the first volume control UI and a volume level graphic for a function together based on the second input signal when the second input signal is for moving a volume adjuster included in the first volume control UI.

9. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

changing and displaying a volume level graphic corresponding to a volume adjuster included in the second volume control UI based on the second input signal when the second input signal is for moving the volume adjuster included in the second volume control UI.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the volume level for the function includes at least one of a volume level for a ringtone, a volume level for a notification sound, a volume level for an alarm sound, a volume level for a system sound, and a vibration intensity level of the electronic device.

11. An electronic device comprising:

a display;

at least one processor; and

at least one memory electrically connected to the display and the at least one processor, wherein the at least one memory stores at least one instruction that, when executed, causes the at least one processor to:

control the display to selectively display a first volume control UI or a second volume control UI corresponding to whether a content is being played, based on a first input signal of a user for requesting to display a volume control UI when the first input signal is received;

control a volume level for the content and a volume level for a function of the electronic device while interconnecting the volume level for the content and the volume level for the function of the electronic device based on a second input signal through the first volume control UI when the content is being played; and

control one of the volume level for the content and the volume level for the function of the electronic device independently of a remaining volume level based on the second input signal through the second volume control UI when the content is not being played.

12. The electronic device of claim 11 , wherein the at least one memory stores at least one instruction that, when executed, causes the at least one processor to:

control the volume level for the content when the volume level for the content and the volume level for the function of the electronic device are controlled while being interconnected; and

control the volume level for the function of the electronic device corresponding to an output volume value of the content output at the controlled volume level for a specified time.

13. The electronic device of claim 12 , wherein the output volume value of the content includes:

an equivalent sound level value of the content output at the controlled volume level for the specified time.

14. The electronic device of claim 11 , wherein the at least one memory stores at least one instruction that, when executed, causes the at least one processor to:

control the volume level for the content and the volume level for the function of the electronic device while interconnecting the volume level for the content and the volume level for the function of the electronic device based on a sound output type for the function of the electronic device when the volume level for the content and the volume level for the function of the electronic device are controlled while being interconnected.

15. The electronic device of claim 14 , wherein the sound output type for the function includes:

at least one of a type of pausing a sound for the content and outputting a sound for the function, a type of reducing the sound for the content and outputting the sound for the function, and a type of outputting the sound for the function while maintaining the sound for the content.
