Abstract

Methods, apparatuses, and computer program products are herein provided for transitioning from presentation of a peripheral notification on a first display to presentation of information on a second display. A method may include causing presentation of a peripheral notification on a first display. The method may further include receiving an indication of a selection associated with the peripheral notification. The method may further include causing presentation of a transition animation in response to receiving the indication. The transition animation indicates a transition from the presentation of the peripheral notification to presentation of information associated with the peripheral notification. The method may further include causing presentation of the information on a second display. Corresponding apparatuses and computer program products are also provided.

Claims

1. A method comprising:

causing, by a processor, presentation of a peripheral notification on a first display;

receiving an indication of a selection associated with the peripheral notification;

causing presentation of a transition animation in response to receiving the indication, wherein the transition animation indicates a transition from the presentation of the peripheral notification to presentation of information associated with the peripheral notification; and

causing presentation of the information on a second display.

2. The method according to claim 1, wherein the second display is separate from the first display.

3. The method according to claim 1, wherein the first display is disposed proximate at least one edge of the second display.

4. The method according to claim 1, wherein causing preservation of the transition animation comprises causing presentation of the information on the second display in an animation series such that the information appears to be moving across the second display, wherein presentation of the information in the animation series begins from an edge of the second display that is proximate the first display.

5. The method according to claim 4, wherein causing presentation of the information on the second display in the animation series comprises causing presentation of the information in the animation series such that the information appears to be moving from the first display to the second display.

6. The method according to claim 4, wherein the second display comprises a pass-through display, and wherein the first display comprises a display of lower resolution than the second display.

7. The method according to claim 1, wherein causing presentation of the transition animation comprises causing presentation of a transition notification on a third display positioned between the first display and the second display.

8. The method according to claim 7, wherein causing presentation of the information on the second display comprises causing presentation of the information on the second display after causing presentation of the transition notification on the third display such that transition notification and the information are presented in series leading from the first display to the second display.

9. The method according to claim 8, wherein causing presentation of the transition notification and the information comprises causing presentation of the transition notification and the information in a time series with a time interval between the transition notification and the information, wherein the time interval is proportionate to a distance between the third display and the second display.

10. An apparatus composing a processor and a memory including computer program code, the memory and the computer program code configured to, with the processor, cause the apparatus to:

cause presentation of a peripheral notification on a first display;

receive an indication of a selection associated with the peripheral notification;

cause presentation of a transition animation in response to receiving the indication, wherein the transition animation indicates a transition from the presentation of the peripheral notification to presentation of information associated with the peripheral notification; and

cause presentation of the information on a second display.

11. The apparatus of claim 10, wherein the second display is separate from the first display.

12. The apparatus of claim 10, wherein the first display is disposed proximate at least one edge of the second display.

13. The apparatus of claim 10, wherein the memory and the computer program code are further configured to, with the processor, cause the apparatus to cause presentation of the transition animation by causing presentation of the information on the second display in an animation series such that the information appears to be moving across the second display, wherein presentation of the information in the animation series begins from an edge of the second display that is proximate the first display.

14. The apparatus of claim 13, wherein the memory and the computer program code are further configured to, with the processor, cause the apparatus to cause presentation of the information on the second display in the animation series by causing presentation of the information in the animation series such that the information appears to be moving from the first display to the second display.

15. The apparatus of claim 13, wherein the second display comprises a pass-through display, and wherein the first display comprises a display of lower resolution than the second display.

16. The apparatus of claim 10, wherein the memory and the computer program code are further configured to, with the processor, cause the apparatus to cause presentation of the transition animation by causing presentation of a transition notification on a third display positioned between the first display and the second display.

17. The apparatus of claim 16, wherein the memory and the computer program code are further configured to, with the processor, cause the apparatus to cause presentation of the information on the second display by causing presentation of the information on the second display after causing presentation of the transition notification on the third display such that transition notification and the information are presented in series leading from the first display to the second display.

18. The apparatus of claim 17, wherein the memory and the computer program code are further configured to, with the processor, cause the apparatus to cause presentation of the transition notification and the information by causing presentation of the transition notification and the information in a time series with a time interval between the transition notification and the information, wherein the time interval is proportionate to a distance between the third display and the second display.

19. Computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer readable medium having program code portions stored thereon, the program code portions being a computer readable medium and configured when said program product is run on a computer or network device, to:

cause presentation of a peripheral notification on a first display;

receive an indication of a selection associated with the peripheral notification;

cause presentation of a transition animation in response to receiving the indication, wherein the transition animation indicates a transition from the presentation of the peripheral notification to presentation of information associated with the peripheral notification; and

cause presentation of the information on a second display.

20. The computer program product of claim 19, wherein the program code portions are further configured when said program product is run on a computer or network device, to cause presentation of the transition animation by causing presentation of the information on the second display in an animation series such that the information appears to be moving across the second display, wherein presentation of the information in the animation series begins from an edge of the second display that is proximate the first display.
