Abstract

A method comprising: displaying, by an electronic device, a sleep information input screen determined according to a prestored sleep pattern; detecting an input of sleep information to the sleep information input screen; and storing the sleep information in a memory of the electronic device.

Claims (65)

1. A method comprising:

acquiring a first time of a display of an electronic device being turned on and a second time of the display of the electronic device being turned off;

identifying a first sleep pattern regarding a first period which is related to a first sleep of a user of the electronic device based on the first time and the second time;

displaying, by the electronic device, a sleep information input screen providing at least one of a first wake-up time and a first bedtime identified according to the identified first sleep pattern, on the display of the electronic device;

receiving a first input for adjusting the at least one of the first wake-up time and the first bedtime on the sleep information input screen;

receiving a second input for storing the at least one of the adjusted first wake-up time and the adjusted first bed time;

based on the received second input, storing a sleep information including at least one of the adjusted first wake-up time and the adjusted first bed time in a memory of the electronic device;

identifying a second sleep pattern regarding a second period which is related to a second sleep of the user which is next to the first sleep of the user based on the stored sleep information;

identifying a control command for causing the sleep information input screen to provide a information associated with the second period; and

based on the identified control command, displaying the sleep information input screen providing at least one of a second wake-up time and a second bed time identified according to the identified second sleep pattern on the display of the electronic device.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

acquiring at least one sensing data by using at least one sensor of the electronic device, wherein the at least one sensing data includes at least one of an obtainment time of an execution command for an application, a release time of an alarm application, information input into a schedule management application, or an unlock time of the electronic device; and

identifying the first sleep pattern regarding the first period based on the at least one sensing data, the first time, and the second time.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the sleep information input screen includes a first input component for adjusting the first bedtime and a second input component for adjusting the first wake-up time.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

storing a first sleep information in the memory of the electronic device before the acquiring of the first time and the second time; and

identifying the first sleep information,

wherein identifying the first sleep pattern is further based on the first sleep information.

5. The method, of claim 1 , further comprising:

executing a sleep information management application,

wherein identifying the first sleep pattern is further based on an execution time of the sleep information management application.

6. The method of claim 5 , further comprising:

identifying a section of the sleep information input screen based on the identified first sleep pattern; and

adjusting the section based on the execution time.

7. A electronic device, comprising:

a display;

a memory; and

at least one processor operatively coupled to the memory, configured to:

acquire a first e of the display being turned on and a second time of the display being turned off,

identify a first sleep pattern regarding a first period which is related to a first sleep of a user of the electronic device based on the first time and the second time,

display, on the display, a sleep information input screen providing at least one of a first wake-up time and a first bedtime identified according to the identified sleep pattern;

receive a first input for adjusting the at least one of the first wake-up time and the first bedtime on the sleep information input screen,

receive a second input for storing the at least one of the adjusted first wake-up time and the adjusted first bed time,

based on the received second input, store a sleep information including at least one of the adjusted first wake-up time and the adjusted first bed time in the memory,

identify a second sleep pattern regarding a second period which is related to a second sleep of the user of the electronic device which is next to the first sleep of the user of the electronic device based on the stored sleep information,

identify a control command for causing the sleep information input screen to provide a information associated with the second period, and

based on the identified control command, display, on the display, the sleep information input screen providing at least one of a second wake-up time and a second bed time identified according to the identified second sleep pattern.

8. The electronic device of claim 7 , further comprising:

at least one sensor,

wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:

acquire at least one sensing data by using the at least one sensor, wherein the at least one sensing data includes at least one of an obtainment time of an execution command for an application, a release time of an alarm application, information input into a schedule management application, or an unlock time of the electronic device, and

identify the first sleep pattern regarding the first period based on the at least one sensing data, the first time, and the second time.

9. The electronic device of claim 8 , wherein the sleep information input screen includes a first input component for adjusting the first bedtime and a second input component for adjusting the first wake-up time.

10. The electronic device of claim 7 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:

store a first sleep information in the memory before the acquiring of the first time and the second time; and

identify the first sleep information,

wherein identifying the first sleep pattern is further based on the first sleep information.

11. The electronic device of claim 7 , wherein:

the at least one processor is further configured to:

execute a sleep information management application, and

identify the first sleep pattern based on an execution time of a sleep information management application.

12. The electronic device of claim 11 , wherein:

the at least one processor is further configured to:

identify a section of the sleep information input screen based on the identified sleep pattern,

adjust the section based on the execution time.

13. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing one or more processor-executable instructions, which when executed by at least one processor cause at least one processor to perform a method comprising the steps of:

acquiring a first time of a display of an electronic device being turned on and a second time of the display of the electronic device being turned off;

identifying a first sleep pattern regarding a first period which is related to a first sleep of a user of the electronic device based on the first time and the second time;

displaying, by the electronic device, a sleep information input screen providing at least one of a first wake-up time and a first bedtime identified according to the identified first sleep pattern on the display of the electronic device;

receiving a first input for adjusting the at least one of the first wake-up time and the first bedtime on the sleep information input screen;

receiving a second input for storing the at least one of the adjusted first wake-up time and the adjusted first bed time;

based on the received second input, storing a sleep information including at least one of the adjusted first wake-up time and the adjusted first bed time in a memory of the electronic device;

identifying a second sleep pattern regarding a second period which is related to a second sleep of the user of the electronic device which is next to the first sleep of the user of the electronic device based on the stored sleep information;

identifying a control command for causing the sleep information input screen to provide a information associated with the second period; and

based on the identified control command, displaying the sleep information input screen providing at least one of a second wake-up time and a second bed time identified according to the identified second sleep pattern on the display of the electronic device.
