Method and apparatus for providing notification
An electronic including a transceiver configured to receive, from at least one wearable device, information indicating whether the at least one wearable device is being worn; and a processor configured to determine whether the at least one wearable device that is being worn, based on the received information indicating whether the at least one wearable device is being worn, and to provide a notification to the at least one wearable device in response to determining that the at least one wearable device is being worn.
1. A method of providing a notification, the method being performed by an electronic device, and the method comprising:
based on detecting an event, displaying a first notification for the detected event on a touch screen of the electronic device;
based on determining that a touch screen of a wearable device is turned on, providing, from the electronic device to the wearable device, notification information for the detected event such that a second notification for the detected event is displayed on the touch screen of the wearable device, the second notification corresponding to the first notification;
while displaying the first notification on the touch screen of the electronic device, receiving, by the electronic device from the wearable device, information indicating that the second notification is checked at the wearable device; and
based on the received information, ceasing the displaying the first notification on the touch screen of the electronic device.
2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving, from the wearable device, information related to a state of the wearable device.
3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the providing of the notification information comprises providing the notification information for the detected event based on at least one of the state of the wearable device or a state of the electronic device.
4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the state of the electronic device comprises a state of the touch screen of the electronic device.
5. The method of claim 2 , wherein the state of the wearable device comprises a state of the wearable device being worn.
6. An electronic device comprising:
a transceiver configured to communicate with a wearable device;
a touch screen;
one or more processors configured to:
based on detecting an event, display a first notification for the detected event on the touch screen of the electronic device;
based on determining that a touch screen of the wearable device is turned on, provide, from the electronic device to the wearable device, notification information for the detected event such that a second notification for the detected event is displayed on the touch screen of the wearable device, the second notification corresponding to the first notification;
while displaying the first notification on the touch screen of the electronic device, receive, by the electronic device from the wearable device, information indicating that the second notification is checked at the wearable device; and
based on the received information, cease the displaying the first notification on the touch screen of the electronic device.
7. The electronic device of claim 6 , wherein the one or more processors is further configured to receive, from the wearable device, information related to a state of the wearable device.
8. The electronic device of claim 7 , wherein the one or more processors is further configured to provide the notification information for the detected event based on at least one of the state of the wearable device or a state of the electronic device.
9. The electronic device of claim 8 , wherein the state of the electronic device comprises a state of the touch screen of the electronic device.
10. The electronic device of claim 7 , wherein the state of the wearable device comprises a state of the wearable device being worn.
11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the providing the notification information further comprises:
determining a communication state between the electronic device and the wearable device; and
providing the notification information from the electronic device to the wearable device based on the determined communication state.
12. The method of claim 1 , wherein the detecting of the event comprises receiving a message by a messaging application included in the electronic device, and
wherein the received information indicates that the second notification was seen by a user on the wearable device.
13. The method of claim 1 , wherein the determining that the touch screen of the wearable device is turned on comprises:
receiving use information from the wearable device indicating that the touch screen of the wearable device is turned on; and
determining that the touch screen of the wearable device is turned on based on the use information.
