Method for preventing display burn-in in electronic device, and electronic device

1. An electronic device comprising:

a display; and

a processor,

wherein the processor is configured to:

detect at least one outline corresponding to at least one graphic object included in a first image to be displayed through the display;

generate a second image in which the at least one outline is adjusted to a first designated color, and areas excluding the at least one outline in the first image are adjusted to a second designated color; and

display the second image by using the display, and

wherein the first designated color is a color based at least on a color of the at least one graphic object and the second designated color is an achromatic color.

2. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to:

generate a third image in which the first designated color of the at least one outline included in the second image is adjusted to a third designated color; and

display the third image through the display.

3. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to adjust a width of the at least one outline to a first designated width, as at least part of the generating the second image.

4. The electronic device of claim 3 , wherein the processor is configured to:

generate a third image in which the at least one outline is adjusted to have a second designated width smaller than the first designated width; and

display the third image through the display.

5. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to generate the second image having a size smaller than the size of the first image, as at least part of the generating the second image.

6. The electronic device of claim 5 , wherein the processor is configured to:

display the second image at a first position on the display; and

display the second image at a second position on the display, based at least on a designated condition.

7. The electronic device of claim 6 , wherein the processor is configured such that at least a part of the second image is not displayed through the display, based at least on the first position or the second position.

8. The electronic device of claim 6 , wherein the processor is configured to:

identify a user input onto the first image while the second image is displayed at the second position on the display; and

perform a function corresponding to the user input.

9. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the first image comprises an application screen image being executed in the electronic device, wherein the processor is configured to determine a second position for displaying the second image, based on a display condition associated with the application screen image.

10. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to display the second image at a first position on the display when a designated condition is satisfied while the second image is displayed at a second position on the display.

11. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the display is an organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display.

12. A method for preventing display burn-in in an electronic device comprising:

detecting at least one outline corresponding to at least one graphic object included in a first image to be displayed through a display;

generating a second image in which the at least one outline is adjusted to a first designated color, and areas excluding the at least one outline in the first image are adjusted to a second designated color; and

displaying the second image by using the display,

wherein the first designated color is a color based at least on a color of the at least one graphic object and the second designated color is an achromatic color.

13. The method of claim 12 , further comprising:

generating a third image in which the first designated color of the at least one outline included in the second image is adjusted to a third designated color; and

displaying the third image through the display.
