Abstract

A method for generating and displaying a user-customized page and a mobile device thereof are provided. The method for processing a user-customized page in a mobile device includes collecting use information of a user with respect to the mobile device when a preset specific situation occurs, generating a user-customized page associated with the specific situation using the use information when the specific situation is terminated, and storing the generated user-customized page.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An electronic device comprising:
a display;
a memory;
a sensor configured to detect insertion or removal of a stylus pen; and
at least one processor configured to:
display, on the display, a screen of a first application while the stylus pen is inserted,
detect, using the sensor, removal of the stylus pen while the screen of the first application is displayed,
when the removal of the stylus pen is detected:
execute a second application in response to the removal of the stylus pen, and
identify information, stored in the memory, including a previously generated handwritten memo associated with a second application acquired before detection of the removal of the stylus pen, and
display, on the display, a screen of the second application including the previously generated handwritten memo, and when the insertion of the stylus pen is detected:
terminate display of the screen of the second application.

2. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the sensor is configured to:
detect insertion of the stylus pen if the stylus pen is entirely inserted into an insertion hole of the electronic device, and
detect removal of the stylus pen if the stylus pen in at least partially removed from the insertion hole.

3. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the first application is a home screen application and the second application is a memo application.

4. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is configured to execute the second application in response to the removal of the stylus pen, while the electronic device is in an unlock state.

5. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is configured to:
receive a touch input using the stylus pen on the display, while the screen of the second application including the previously generated handwritten memo is displayed, and
revise the previously generated handwritten memo based on the touch input.

6. The electronic device of claim 5 , wherein the at least one processor is configured to:
store, in the memory, information including the revised handwritten memo.

7. The electronic device of claim 6 , wherein the at least one processor is configured to:
when the removal of the stylus pen is re-detected after the insertion of the stylus pen, display the screen of the second application with the revised handwritten memo.

8. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is configured to:
display the screen of the second application as a pop-up window on the screen of the first application.

9. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the second application is predetermined to be executed in response to removal of the stylus pen.

10. A method executed by an electronic device, the method comprising:
displaying a screen of a first application while a stylus pen is inserted;
detecting removal of the stylus pen while the screen of the first application is displayed;
when the removal of the stylus pen is detected:
executing a second application in response to the removal of the stylus pen; and
identifying information including a previously generated handwritten memo associated with a second application acquired before detection of the removal of the stylus pen; and
displaying a screen of the second application including the previously generated handwritten memo; and
when the insertion of the stylus pen is detected:
terminating display of the screen of the second application.

11. The method of claim 10 , further comprising:
detecting insertion of the stylus pen if the stylus pen is entirely inserted into an insertion hole of the electronic device, and
detecting removal of the stylus pen if the stylus pen in at least partially removed from the insertion hole.

12. The method of claim 10 , wherein the first application is a home screen application and the second application is a memo application.

13. The method of claim 10 , wherein executing the second application comprises executing the second application in response to the removal of the stylus pen, while the electronic device is in an unlock state.

14. The method of claim 10 , further comprising:
receiving a touch input using the stylus pen on the display, while the screen of the second application including the previously generated handwritten memo is displayed, and
revising the previously generated handwritten memo based on the touch input.

15. The method of claim 14 , further comprising:
storing information including the revised handwritten memo.

16. The method of claim 15 , further comprising:
when the removal of the stylus pen is re-detected after the insertion of the stylus pen, displaying the screen of the second application with the revised handwritten memo.

17. The method of claim 10 , wherein displaying the screen of the second application comprises displaying the screen of the second application as a pop-up window on the screen of the first application.

18. The method of claim 10 , wherein the second application is predetermined to be executed in response to removal of the stylus pen.

19. A non-transitory processor readable medium for storing a computer program of instructions configured to be readable by at least one processor for instructing the at least one processor to execute a computer process for performing the method as recited in claim 10 .
