Notification method of mobile terminal using a plurality of notification modes and mobile terminal using the method
Disclosed is a notification method of a mobile terminal using a plurality of notification modes. A mobile terminal according to one aspect of the present invention determines a first configuration type relating to the notification mode of the mobile terminal in response to the receipt of a new push message. The mobile terminal determines a second configuration type relating to the notification mode of a push message application based on the first configuration type. The mobile terminal notifies the arrival of a new push message according to the second configuration type. That is, embodiments may provide a technology that uses at least two configurations relating to the notification mode of the mobile terminal so as to notify the user about receipt of a new message.
1. A notification method of a mobile terminal using a plurality of notification modes, the notification method comprising:
receiving, at the mobile terminal, a new push message from a server, the new push message directed to an application from among a plurality of applications installed in the mobile terminal;
in response to reception of the new push message, determining a first configured notification mode of the mobile terminal, the first configured notification mode configured to control notifications of each of the plurality of applications installed at the mobile terminal;
determining a second configured notification mode configured at the mobile terminal, the second configured notification mode being specific to the application and configured to control notifications of the application, the second configured notification mode being a vibrate mode, a silent mode, or a notification-off mode; and
providing a notification on an arrival of the new push message, based on the determinations of the first configured notification mode and the second configured notification mode,
wherein the providing the notification on the arrival of the new push message comprises operating the mobile terminal to provide the notification, the mobile terminal configured to, in response to determining that the first configured notification mode is a ringtone mode:
obtain one or more predetermined time sections associated with the second configured notification mode, the one or more predetermined time sections being configured via one or more interfaces provided by the application, and
provide the notification on the arrival of the new push message using a particular time section from among the one or more predetermined time sections associated with the second configured notification mode, the particular time section being inclusive of a time at which the new push message was received at the mobile terminal.
2. A notification method of a mobile terminal using a notification mode among a plurality of notification modes, the notification method being performed in response to reception of a new push message at the mobile terminal, and the method comprising:
determining a configured basic notification mode of the mobile terminal, the configured basic notification mode configured to control notifications of each of a plurality of applications installed at the mobile terminal;
determining a configured application notification mode of an application from among the plurality of applications installed in the mobile terminal, the new push message being directed to the application, and the configured application notification mode being specific to the application and configured to control notifications of the application, the configured application notification mode being a vibrate mode, a silent mode, or a notification-off mode; and
setting the notification mode of the mobile terminal as the configured basic notification mode or the configured application notification mode,
wherein setting the notification mode comprises operating the mobile terminal, the mobile terminal configured to, in response to determining that the configured basic notification mode is a ringtone mode;
obtain one or more predetermined time sections associated with the configured application notification mode, the one or more predetermined time sections being configured via one or more interfaces provided by the application, and
set the notification mode of the mobile terminal using a particular time section from among the one or more predetermined time sections associated with the configured application notification mode, the particular time section being inclusive of a time at which the new push message was received at the mobile terminal.
