Abstract

An electronic device and a notification method of the electronic device are provided. The electronic device includes an input module configured to receive a user input, a display configured to display a user interface, and a processor configured to execute a first application if a notification event is generated, display an incoming call user interface provided by the first application, on the display, and provide a user with a conversation service through the first application if a call acceptance command is input from the user. The notification method of the electronic device includes executing, by the electronic device, a first application if a notification event is generated; displaying, on a display, an incoming call user interface provided by the first application; receiving, by the electronic device, a call acceptance command from a user; and providing, by the electronic device, the user with a conversation service through the first application.

Claims

1. An electronic device, comprising:

an input module configured to receive a user input;

a display configured to display a user interface; and

a processor configured to execute a first application if a notification event is generated, display an incoming call user interface provided by the first application, on the display, and provide a user with a conversation service through the first application if a call acceptance command is input from the user.

2. The electronic device of claim 1, wherein the processor is further configured to determine whether the notification event is generated, based on at least one of a user setting of the notification event, and whether the user responds to the notification event, a location of the electronic device, a time, a word included in the notification event, or a caller of the notification event.

3. The electronic device of claim 1, further comprising:

a speaker configured to output sound; and

a motor configured to generate a vibration,

wherein the processor is further configured to generate at least one of the sound or the vibration based on a notification method set to the first application if the notification event is generated.

4. The electronic device of claim 1, wherein the processor is further configured to display a call user interface provided by the first application while the conversation service is provided, on the display if the call acceptance command is input.

5. The electronic device of claim 1, further comprising:

a microphone configured to receive a voice input of the user; and

a speaker configured to output sound,

wherein the processor is further configured to recognize the voice input of the user received through the microphone and to output a response message corresponding to the voice of the user through the speaker if the conversation service is provided.

6. The electronic device of claim 5, wherein the input module comprises a touch sensor panel configured to sense a touch manipulation of the user, and

wherein the processor is further configured to control the speaker to operate in a normal mode if the call acceptance command is input through the touch sensor panel and to control the speaker to operate in a speakerphone mode if the call acceptance command is input through the microphone.

7. The electronic device of claim 1, further comprising:

a microphone configured to receive a voice input of the user,

wherein the processor is further configured to recognize the voice input of the user received through the microphone and to perform an operation corresponding to the recognized the voice input of the user if the conversation service is provided.

8. The electronic device of claim 7, wherein the processor is further configured to perform at least one of a call requesting operation, a message sending operation, a schedule adding operation, or a web search operation based on the recognized voice input of the user.

9. The electronic device of claim 1, wherein the processor is further configured to display, on the display, a user interface including a message associated with the notification event by executing a second application if a message change command is input from the user while the incoming call user interface is displayed on the display.

10. The electronic device of claim 9, wherein the user interface including the message associated with the notification event comprises an object for performing an operation associated with the notification event.

11. A notification method of an electronic device, the method comprising:

executing, by the electronic device, a first application if a notification event is generated;

displaying, on a display, an incoming call user interface provided by the first application;

receiving, by the electronic device, a call acceptance command from a user; and

providing, by the electronic device, the user with a conversation service through the first application.

12. The method of claim 11, further comprising determining whether the notification event is generated based on at least one of a user setting of the notification event, and whether the user responds to the notification event, a location of the electronic device, a time, a word included in the notification event, or a caller of the notification event.

13. The method of claim 11, further comprising:

generating at least one of sound or a vibration based on a method set to the first application if the notification event is generated.

14. The method of claim 11, further comprising:

displaying, on the display, a call user interface provided by the first application while the conversation service is provided if the call acceptance command is input.

15. The method of claim 11, wherein providing the user with a conversation service comprises:

recognizing a voice input of the user received through a microphone; and

outputting a response message corresponding to the voice input of the user through a speaker.

16. The method of claim 15, wherein outputting the response message comprises:

outputting the response message in a normal mode if the call acceptance command is input through a touch sensor panel; and

outputting the response message in a speakerphone mode if the call acceptance command is input through the microphone.

17. The method of claim 11, wherein providing the user with a conversation service comprises:

recognizing a voice input of the user received through a microphone; and

performing an operation corresponding to the recognized voice input of the user.

18. The method of claim 17, wherein performing the operation corresponding to the recognized voice input of the user comprises performing at least one of a call requesting operation, a message sending operation, a schedule adding operation, or a web search operation based on the recognized voice input of the user.

19. The method of claim 11, further comprising:

receiving a message change command from the user while the incoming call user interface is displayed on the display; and

displaying, on the display, a user interface including a message associated with the notification event by executing a second application.

20. The method of claim 19, wherein the user interface including the message associated with the notification event comprises an object for performing an operation associated with the notification event.
