Abstract

A method and electronic device are disclosed herein. The electronic device includes a display and at least one processor. The at least one processor is configured to implement the method, including receiving a first notification for a first application, generating, by at least one processor, a first notification page including at least a part of the first notification, generating an abstract page including a first object related to the first notification and displaying the abstract page on a display, and switching from displaying the abstract page to displaying the first notification page in response to detecting an input signal selecting the first object, wherein the abstract page and the first notification page are generated and displayed based on a same application or home application.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A wearable device comprising:
communication circuitry to support a short-range communication connection between the wearable device and an external electronic device;
a touch screen; and
a processor adapted to:
display a background screen using the touch screen;
receive first information corresponding to a first application from the external electronic device via the short-range communication connection established using the communication circuitry;
generate a first notification based at least in part on the first information;
receive second information corresponding to a second application from the external electronic device via the short-range communication connection using the communication circuitry;
generate a second notification based at least in part on the second information;
display, using the touch screen, at least part of the first notification and at least part of the second notification concurrently as part of a same page in response to a first input received with respect to the background screen;
identify a second input received with respect to a corresponding one of the at least part of the first notification and the at least part of the second notification concurrently displayed as part of the same page;
display, using the touch screen, at least part of the first information based at least in part on a determination that the second input is received with respect to the at least part of the first notification; and
display, using the touch screen, at least part of the second information based at least in part on a determination that the second input is received with respect to the at least part of the second notification.

2. The wearable device of claim 1 , wherein the communication circuitry is adapted to:
establish a bluetooth communication connection as at least part of the short-range communication connection.

3. The wearable device of claim 1 , wherein the communication circuitry is adapted to:
establish a wi-fi communication connection as at least part of the short-range communication connection.

4. The wearable device of claim 1 , wherein the processor is adapted to:
display a clock image as at least part of the background screen.

5. The wearable device of claim 1 , wherein the processor is adapted to:
perform the generating of the first notification after the receiving of the first information; and
perform the generating of the second notification after the receiving of the second information.

6. The wearable device of claim 1 , wherein the first application includes a message application and the second application includes an email application, wherein the first information includes a short text message corresponding to the message application and the second information includes an email corresponding to the email application, and wherein the processor is adapted to:
perform the displaying of the at least part of the first notification and the at least part of the second notification concurrently as part of the same page such that a first graphical representation indicative of the message application and a second graphical representation indicative of the email application are displayed concurrently as part of the same page.

7. The wearable device of claim 1 , further comprising memory to store a third application to be executed in the wearable device, wherein the processor is adapted to:
generate the first notification, the second notification and the same page using the third application.

8. The wearable device of claim 7 , wherein the processor is adapted to:
perform the displaying of the at least part of the first notification and the at least part of the second notification concurrently as part of the same page, the displaying of the at least part of the first information, and the displaying of the at least part of the second information using the third application.

9. The wearable device of claim 1 , wherein the processor is adapted to:
perform the displaying of the at least part of the first notification and the at least part of the second notification concurrently as part of the same page such that a first graphical representation indicative of the first application and a second graphical representation indicative of the second application are displayed concurrently as part of the same page.

10. The wearable device of claim 1 , wherein the processor is adapted to:
perform the displaying of the at least part of the first information such that the at least part of the first information is displayed as part of a second page different from the same page; and
perform the displaying of the at least part of the second information such that the at least part of the second information is displayed as part of a third page different from the same page and the second page.

11. The wearable device of claim 10 , wherein the processor is adapted to:
perform the displaying of a corresponding one of the at least part of the first information and the at least part of the second information such that the same page is replaced with a corresponding page of the second page and the third page, and hidden from the touch screen.

12. The wearable device of claim 11 , wherein the processor is adapted to:
replace the corresponding page displayed using the touch screen with the same page in response to a third input received with respect to the corresponding page.

13. The wearable device of claim 1 , wherein the processor is adapted to:
receive a third input with respect to the at least part of the first information or the at least part of the second information displayed using the touch screen; and
execute a corresponding application of the first application and the second application based at least in part on the receiving of the third input.

14. The wearable device of claim 1 , wherein the wearable device forms a smart watch.

15. A wearable device comprising:
communication circuitry;
a touch screen; and
a processor adapted to:
display a background screen using the touch screen;
display, using the touch screen, a first notification and a second notification concurrently in response to a first input received with respect to the background screen, the first notification indicative of at least part of first information received at the wearable device with respect to a first application and the second notification indicative of at least part of second information received at the wearable device with respect to a second application;
receive a second input to select a notification from the first notification and the second notification displayed concurrently; and
display, using the touch screen, the at least part of the first information or the at least part of the second information corresponding to the selected notification in response to the second input.

16. The wearable device of claim 15 , wherein the processor is adapted to:
perform the displaying of the first notification and the second notification concurrently such that the first notification and the second notification are displayed as at least part of a first page; and
perform the displaying of the at least part of the first information or the at least part of the second information such that the first page including the first notification and the second notification is replaced with a second page including a corresponding one of the at least part of the first information and the at least part of the second information.

17. The wearable device of claim 16 , further comprising memory to store a third application to be executed at the wea
