Abstract

An operating method of an electronic device is provided. The operating method includes selecting an object displayed in a window and calling another window corresponding to the object on the basis of the selected object.

Claims

1. An electronic device comprising:

a communication module configured to transmit/receive a message;

a display configured to display a window; and

a processor functionally coupled to the communication module and the display, the processor configured to;

select an object displayed in the window, and

display another window corresponding to the object on the display on the basis of the selected object.

2. The electronic device of claim 1, wherein the processor is further configured to display content, as the object, which corresponds to a window including an unidentified message.

3. The electronic device of claim 1, wherein the processor is further configured to display a number of unidentified messages included in the window in conjunction with the object.

4. The electronic device of claim 1, wherein the processor is further configured to select the object in response to an input detected in a notification display area, where the object is displayed in the window, or in an area other than the notification display area.

5. The electronic device of claim 4, wherein the processor, when detecting an input in the area other than the notification display area, is further configured to select an object prior to or subsequent to an object corresponding to the window displayed in the notification display area on the basis of the input.

6. The electronic device of claim 4, wherein the processor is further configured to display an object corresponding to a window including an unidentified message or display an object in response to a setting for constant display.

7. The electronic device of claim 1, wherein the processor is further configured to display content, as the object, which corresponds to a window provided by at least some of the same or different types of programs from a program corresponding to the currently displayed window.

8. The electronic device of claim 4, wherein the processor is further configured to change the location where the object is displayed in response to a user input.

9. The electronic device of claim 8, wherein the processor is further configured to change the location of the notification display area where the object is displayed in response to the user input.

10. An operating method of an electronic device, the operating method comprising:

displaying a window;

displaying at least one object in the window;

selecting the at least one object displayed in the window; and

calling and displaying another window corresponding to the object on the basis of the selected object.

11. The operating method of claim 10, wherein the object displayed in the window comprises an object corresponding to a window including an unidentified message.

12. The operating method of claim 10, wherein the object displayed in the window is displayed in conjunction with a number of unidentified messages included in the window.

13. The operating method of claim 10, wherein the selecting of the object comprises:

selecting the object in response to an input detected in a notification display area, where the object is displayed in the window, or in an area other than the notification display area.

14. The operating method of claim 13, further comprising:

detecting an input in the area other than the notification display area; and

selecting an object prior to or subsequent to an object corresponding to the window displayed in the notification display area on the basis of the input.

15. The operating method of claim 10, wherein the displaying of the object comprises:

displaying an object corresponding to a window including an unidentified message or displaying an object in response to a setting for constant display.

16. The operating method of claim 10, wherein the displaying of the object comprises:

displaying an object corresponding to a window provided by at least some of the same or different types of programs from a program corresponding to the currently displayed window.

17. The operating method of claim 16, further comprising:

displaying content, as the object, which corresponds to the window provided by the at least some programs.

18. The operating method of claim 13, further comprising:

changing the location where the object is displayed in response to a user input.

19. The operating method of claim 18, further comprising:

changing the location of the notification display area where the object is displayed in response to the user input.

20. A non-transient computer readable recording medium comprising a program for carrying out an operation of displaying a window, an operation of displaying at least one object in the window, an operation of selecting the object displayed in the window, and an operation of calling and displaying another window connected to the object on the basis of the selected object.
