Abstract

A method of providing an activity notification is provided. The method includes registering, by the device, information about the activity notification according to a request for registering the activity notification, and transmitting, by the device, the registered information about the activity notification to a management device, wherein the management device performs a process of providing the activity notification.

Claims

1. A method of providing an activity notification, performed by a device, the method comprising:

registering, by the device, information about the activity notification according to a request for registering the activity notification; and

transmitting, by the device, the registered information about the activity notification to a management device,

wherein the management device performs a process of providing the activity notification.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the registering, by the device, of the information about the activity notification comprises setting the management device with respect to the process of providing the activity notification.

3. The method of claim 2, wherein the process of providing the activity notification comprises at least one of a process of registering, by the management device, the information about the activity notification, a process of editing or canceling the information about the activity notification, a process of checking an activity notification triggering condition, or a process of triggering the activity notification.

4. The method of claim 2, wherein the setting of the management device comprises setting the management device based on at least one of information about a user of the device, information about the device, or information about at least one external device with which the device communicates.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the transmitting, by the device, of the information about the activity notification to the management device comprises, if management devices for a plurality of processes of providing the activity notification are different, transmitting, by the device, the registered information about the activity notification to the management devices set for the respective processes.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the transmitting of the information about the activity notification to the management device comprises, if management devices for a plurality of processes of providing the activity notification are different, transmitting, by the device, the registered information about the activity notification to some of the respective management devices set for the respective processes.

7. The method of claim 1, further comprising, if the device is included in the management device, storing, by the device, pieces of the information about the activity notification in the device,

wherein the pieces of the information stored in the device comprise information about the activity notification related to a process that is performed by the device from among processes of providing the activity notification.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein the management device comprises at least one of the device, a server for providing a service based on the method of providing the activity notification, or at least one external device that communicates with the device.

9. The method of claim 1, further comprising, if information indicating that an activity notification triggering condition is satisfied is received from an external device, triggering the activity notification by the device.

10. The method of claim 9, wherein the triggered activity notification comprises information used to execute an activity.

11. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

receiving the activity notification from at least one external device;

storing the received activity notification to the device; and

triggering the stored activity notification according to a request by a user of the device.

12. The method of claim 1, wherein the registering of information about the activity notification comprises, during execution of one of an application and a service by the device, registering the information about the activity notification by using a user interface via which information about the activity notification is registered based on a framework of the activity notification.

13. The method of claim 1, wherein the information about the activity notification comprises information about the management device, information about an activity, activity notification triggering condition information, and additional information.

14. The method of claim 13, wherein the information about the activity comprises at least one of text information, still image information, audio information, video information, application link information, service link information, application function information, or service function information.

15. The method of claim 1, wherein the transmitting, by the device, of the registered information is based on selecting at least one of an activity notification registration item included in menu items displayed on the device or another activity notification registration item included in a common area displayed on the device.

16. A computer readable recording medium having embodied thereon a program for executing the method of providing the activity notification of claim 1.

17. A device comprising:

an information input unit configured to input information about a request for registering an activity notification and information about the activity notification;

a display unit configured to display information based on a user interface via which the request for registering the activity notification and information about the activity notification are input;

a storage unit configured to store information about the activity notification received via the information input unit and a program for providing information about the activity notification by using the device;

a communication unit configured to communicate with at least one external device; and

a processor configured to register, to the storage unit, information about the activity notification received via the information input unit after the request for registering the activity notification is received, and transmit the registered information about the activity notification to the external device via the communication unit,

wherein an external device to which the registered information about the activity notification is transmitted is a management device that performs a process of providing the activity notification.

18. The device of claim 17, wherein the information about the activity notification received via the information input unit comprises information about the management device that manages the process of providing the activity notification.

19. The device of claim 18, wherein the process of providing the activity notification comprises at least one of a process of registering the information about the activity notification, a process of editing or canceling the information about the activity notification, a process of checking the activity notification triggering condition, or a process of triggering the activity notification.

20. The device of claim 17, wherein the activity notification displayed on the display unit comprises information used to execute an activity.
