Abstract

An operation method of an electronic device includes performing a sleep mode and at least one function that is allowed during the sleep mode, if at least one preset condition is satisfied.

Claims

1. An operation method of a user device comprising:

performing a sleep mode if at least one condition that is preset is satisfied; and

performing at least one function that is allowed in the sleep mode.

2. The operation method of claim 1, wherein the preset at least one condition comprises at least one of a connection to a charger, a time, a place, ambient illumination, and an alarm time.

3. The operation method of claim 1, further comprising canceling the sleep mode and the at least one function if a wakeup alarm time arrives.

4. The operation method of claim 1, further comprising displaying a corresponding icon if the preset at least one condition is satisfied.

5. The operation method of claim 4, further comprising performing the sleep mode and the at least one function if a touch event for the icon occurs.

6. The operation method of claim 4, further comprising releasing the icon if a touch event for the icon does not occur within a critical time.

7. The operation method of claim 1, wherein the at least one function comprises:

obtaining at least one piece of additional information that is related to a schedule; and

outputting the obtained at least one piece of additional information.

8. The operation method of claim 7, wherein obtaining the at least one piece of additional information that is related to the schedule comprises:

determining, on a basis of details for the schedule, at least one category to which the schedule belongs to; and

obtaining at least one piece of additional information that is related to the determined at least one category and the schedule details.

9. The operation method of claim 7, further comprising:

determining whether the schedule is suitable for the at least one piece of additional information;

outputting schedule details and suitable matters if the schedule is suitable; and

outputting the schedule details and unsuitable matters if the schedule is unsuitable.

12. The operation method of claim 1, wherein the at least one function comprises informing a user of the user device that a wakeup alarm is unsuitable for a schedule, if a wakeup alarm time is later than a start time of the schedule.

10. The operation method of claim 10, further comprising:

searching, from the at least one piece of additional information, at least one recommendation with which the unsuitable matters are corrected to become suitable; and

outputting the searched at least one recommendation.

11. The operation method of claim 10, further comprising applying the recommendation to the schedule.

13. A user device comprising:

at least one processor;

a memory; and

at least one program stored in the memory, wherein the at least one program is configured to be executable by the at least one processor, performs a sleep mode if at least one condition that is preset is satisfied, and performs at least one function that is allowed in the sleep mode.

14. The user device of claim 13, wherein the preset at least one condition comprises at least one of a connection to a charger, a time, a place, ambient illumination, and an alarm time.

15. The user device of claim 13, wherein the at least one program cancels the sleep mode and the at least one function if a wakeup alarm time arrives.

16. The user device of claim 13, wherein a corresponding icon is displayed if the preset at least one condition is satisfied.

17. The user device of claim 16, wherein the at least one program performs the sleep mode and the at least one function if an event for selecting the icon occurs.

18. The user device of claim 16, wherein the at least one program releases the icon if an event for selecting the icon does not occur within a critical time.

19. The user device of claim 13, wherein the at least one function comprises obtaining at least one piece of additional information that is related to a schedule, and outputting the obtained at least one piece of additional information.

20. The user device of claim 19, wherein the at least one program determines, on a basis of details for the schedule, at least one category to which the schedule belongs to, and obtains at least one piece of additional information that is related to the determined at least one category and the schedule details.

21. The user device of claim 19, wherein the at least one program determines whether the schedule is suitable for the at least one piece of additional information, outputs the schedule details and suitable matters if the schedule is suitable, and outputs the schedule details and unsuitable matters if the schedule is unsuitable.

22. The user device of claim 21, wherein the at least one program searches, from the at least one piece of additional information, at least one recommendation with which the unsuitable matters are corrected to become suitable, and outputs the searched at least one recommendation.

23. The user device of claim 22, wherein the at least one program applies the recommendation to the schedule.

24. The user device of claim 13, wherein the at least one function comprises informing a user of the user device that a wakeup alarm is unsuitable for a schedule, if a wakeup alarm time is later than a start time of the schedule.
