Abstract

A method and device for executing an object on a display. The method of executing an object includes receiving a user input to an object displayed on a display; gradually enlarging and displaying the object; and executing the application corresponding to the object as the object is enlarged.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A method of displaying a notification related to an object, the method comprising:
presenting a plurality of visual display elements which are associated with a plurality of applications on a screen of the electronic device; in response to an occurrence of an event for an application, providing first information related to the event at a first location associated with a visual display element corresponding to the application; and in response to detecting a touch on the visual display element provided with the first information, providing second information related to the event at a second location associated with the visual display element.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the second location is adjacent to an area where the visual display element is displayed.

3 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the first location is different from the second location.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the first location is substantially identical with the second location.

5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the first information is different from the second information.

6 . The method of claim 5 , wherein the second information is specific information regarding the first information.

7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the detecting the touch comprises detecting a touch and a drag gesture being performed on the one visual display element in a predetermined direction.

8 . An electronic device comprising:
a memory comprising computer executable instructions; a display configured to present a plurality of visual display elements which are associated with a plurality of applications; a processor configured to provide, in response to an occurrence of an event for an application, first information related to the event at a first location associated with a visual display element corresponding to the application, and provide, in response to detecting a touch on the visual display element provided with the first information, second information related to the event at a second location associated with the visual display element.

9 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the second location is adjacent to an area where the visual display element is displayed.

10 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the first location is different from the second location.

11 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the first location is substantially identical with the second location.

12 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the first information is different from the second information.

13 . The method of claim 12 , wherein the second information is specific information regarding the first information.

14 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the processor detects a touch and a drag gesture being performed on the one visual display element in a predetermined direction.

15 . A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions executable by a computer to cause the computer to perform:
presenting a plurality of visual display elements which are associated with a plurality of applications on a screen of the electronic device; in response to an occurrence of an event for an application, providing first information related to the event at a first location associated with a visual display element corresponding to the application; and in response to detecting a touch on the visual display element provided with the first information, providing second information related to the event at a second location associated with the visual display element.

16 . The method of claim 15 , wherein the second location is adjacent to an area where the visual display element is displayed.

17 . The method of claim 15 , wherein the first location is different from the second location.

18 . The method of claim 15 , wherein the first location is substantially identical with the second location.

19 . The method of claim 15 , wherein the first information is different from the second information.
