Abstract

A wearable device configured to pair with a plurality of electronic devices via a wireless network and to display a graphics user interface that includes a plurality of home screens corresponding to the plurality of electronic devices.

Claims (42)

1. A wearable device comprising:

a memory storing instructions; and

at least one processor configured to execute the instructions to:

pair with a plurality of electronic devices via a wireless network, each of the plurality of electronic devices is paired with the wearable device when the wearable device is within a network area of an electronic device of the plurality of electronic devices or a network interface;

display at least a portion of a graphics user interface that includes a plurality of home screens corresponding to the plurality of electronic devices; and

control the graphics user interface based on a user input,

wherein each of the plurality of home screens comprises at least one graphic representation of at least one application coupled with each of the plurality of electronic device, the at least one graphic representation being arranged in the each of the plurality of home screens based on a first preset criterion.

2. The wearable device of claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to execute the instructions to remove from the graphics user interface a home screen corresponding to an electronic device unpaired from the wearable device and insert into the graphics user interface a home screen corresponding to an electronic device paired again with the wearable device.

3. The wearable device of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of home screens are scrolled in the graphics user interface based on the user input.

4. The wearable device of claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to execute the instructions to determine an order in which the plurality of home screens are arranged in the graphics user interface based on a second preset criterion.

5. The wearable device of claim 4 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to execute the instructions to determine an order in which the plurality of home screens are arranged in the graphics user interface based on a proximity between each of the plurality of electronic devices and the wearable device.

6. The wearable device of claim 4 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to execute the instructions to determine an order in which the plurality of home screens are arranged in the graphics user interface based on a location of the wearable device.

7. The wearable device of claim 4 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to execute the instructions to determine an order in which the plurality of home screens are arranged in the graphics user interface based on at least one of a number of times that each of the plurality of electronic devices is paired with the wearable device, whether identification of a respective user of each of the plurality of electronic devices is authenticated, whether a vaccine program is installed in each of the plurality of electronic devices, or a result of analysis on a malignant code or virus in each of the plurality of electronic devices.

8. The wearable device of claim 4 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to execute the instructions to determine an order in which the plurality of home screens are arranged in the graphics user interface based on a chronological order of alarms pushed from the plurality of electronic devices to the wearable device.

9. The wearable device of claim 4 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to execute the instructions to determine an order in which the plurality of home screens are arranged in the graphics user interface by analyzing a user's usage pattern of each of the plurality of electronic devices.

10. The wearable device of claim 1 , wherein the at least one graphic representation is arranged in the each of the plurality of home screens based on an order in which at least one coupled application is arranged in a predetermined region of the each of the plurality of electronic devices.

11. The wearable device of claim 1 , wherein the at least one graphic representation is arranged in the each of the plurality of home screens based on a frequency of driving at least one coupled application in the each of the plurality of electronic devices.

12. The wearable device of claim 1 , wherein the at least one graphic representation arranged between a plurality of grids in the each of the plurality of the home screens and scrolled based on an input with respect to an intersection of the plurality of grids.

13. The wearable device of claim 1 , wherein the at least one graphic representation is arranged between a plurality of grids in the each of the plurality of the home screens, and

wherein the at least one processor is further configured to execute the instructions to select the at least one graphic representation based on a drag input, starting from an intersection of the plurality of grids, passes by in the plurality of home screens.

14. The wearable device of claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to execute the instructions to transmit data obtained from a first electronic device corresponding to a first home screen to a second electronic device corresponding to a second home screen among the plurality of home screens based on inputs with respect to the first and second home screens.

15. The wearable device of claim 14 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to execute the instructions to mediate between the first electronic device and the second electronic device by transmitting metadata obtained from the first electronic device to the second electronic device.

16. A method of controlling a wearable device, the method comprising:

pairing with a plurality of electronic devices via a wireless network, each of the plurality of electronic devices is paired with the wearable device when the wearable device is within a network area of an electronic device of the plurality of electronic devices or a network interface;

displaying at least a portion of a graphics user interface that includes a plurality of home screens corresponding to the plurality of electronic devices; and

controlling the graphics user interface based on a user input,

wherein each of the plurality of home screens comprises at least one graphic representation of at least one application coupled with each of the plurality of electronic device, the at least one graphic representation being arranged in the each of the plurality of home screens based on a first preset criterion.

17. The method of claim 16 , further comprising:

removing from the graphics user interface a home screen corresponding to an electronic device unpaired from the wearable device; and

inserting into the graphics user interface a home screen corresponding to an electronic device paired again with the wearable device.

18. The method of claim 16 , wherein the plurality of home screens are scrolled in the graphics user interface based on the user input.

19. The method of claim 16 , further comprising determining an order in which the plurality of home screens are arranged in the graphics user interface based on a second preset criterion.

20. The method of claim 16 , further comprising:

receiving a first input regarding a first home screen from among the plurality of home screens;

obtaining data from a first electronic device corresponding to the first home screen based on the first input;

receiving a second input regarding a second home screen from among the plurality of home screens; and

transmitting the data obtained from the first electronic device to a second electronic device corresponding to the second home screen based on the second input.

21. A non-transient computer-readable recording medium having recorded thereon a program for causing a wearable device to perform a method of:

pairing with a plurality of electronic devices via a wireless network, each of the plurality of electronic devices is paired with the wearable device when the wearable device is within a network area of an electronic device of the plurality of electronic devices or a network interface;

displaying at least a portion of a graphics user interface that includes a plurality of home screens corresponding to the plurality of electronic devices; and

controlling the graphics user interface based on a user input,

wherein each of the plurality of home screens comprises at least one graphic representation of at least one application coupled with each of the plurality of electronic device, the at least one graphic representation being arranged in the each of the plurality of home screens based on a preset criterion.
