Abstract

An apparatus and method in an electronic device is provided. The apparatus includes a memory, a communication interface and a processor coupled to the memory, and may implement the method, including: executing, by a processor, an application including a plurality of pages displayable by the electronic device, the plurality of pages including first and second pages corresponding respectively to first and second identifiers, identifying a target page to be displayed on a display from among the first and second pages, transmitting a target identifier corresponding to the target page to an external electronic device via a network, receiving notification information corresponding to the target identifier from the external electronic device, and displaying at least part of the notification information and the target page.

Claims

1. A method in an electronic device, comprising:

executing an application including a plurality of pages displayable by the electronic device, the plurality of pages including first and second pages corresponding respectively to first and second identifiers;

identifying a target page to be displayed on a display from among the first and second pages;

transmitting a target identifier corresponding to the target page to an external electronic device via a network;

receiving notification information corresponding to the target identifier from the external electronic device; and

displaying at least part of the notification information and the target page.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the first identifier and the second identifier comprise tag information of the first and second pages, respectively.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the first identifier and second identifier comprise the same tag information.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the target identifier is transmitted in response to the display of the target page on the display.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the received notification information comprises a plurality of individual notifications, and

wherein displaying at least a part of the notification information and the target page comprises displaying the plurality of individual notifications as one notification information.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein displaying the at least part of the notification information and the target page comprises:

displaying the notification information, based on condition information related to the application or the mobile electronic device.

7. The method of claim 6, wherein the condition information comprises at least one of:

a location of the mobile electronic device, a priority of card information contained in the application, the use number of the card information.

8. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

determining whether the application is executed;

when an application is executed, detecting whether a specific screen in the application is activated;

transmitting one or more tagging information corresponding to the specific screen to a server;

receiving notification information from the server corresponding to the transmitted one or more tagging information; and

displaying the received notification information.

9. The method of claim 8, wherein all displayable screens of the executed application are identified respectively by screen identifiers (screen IDs), and wherein each tag of the one or more tagging information is mapped respectively to each of the screen IDs.

10. The method of claim 8, the one or more tagging information is transmitted to a server when the specific screen is activated.

11. The method of claim 9, wherein transmitting the one or more tagging information comprises transmitting one or more screen IDs to the server, and wherein the notification information received from the server corresponds to the transmitted one or more screen IDs.

12. The method of claim 11, wherein the one or more tagging information including the one or more screen IDs is transmitted to the server in response to detecting the specific screen is activated.

13. An electronic device comprising:

a memory storing a first identifier and a second identifier corresponding respectively to first and second pages;

a communication interface; and

a processor operatively coupled to the memory, configured to;

receive via the communication interface at least one notification information corresponding to an application executing on an external electronic device;

identify a target page from among the first and second pages corresponding to the at least one notification information, based on one of the first identifier and the second identifier corresponding to the received at least one notification information; and

control a display to display the received at least one notification information associated with the target page.

14. The electronic device of claim 13, wherein the processor controls the display to display the at least notification information associated target page from among the first page and the second page, while excluding from display any notification information associated with other pages.

15. The electronic device of claim 13, wherein:

the notification information indicates a priority; and

the processor determines whether to display at least one of;

the notification information, the target page, an order of display, an time of display, and a content of display based on the priority.

16. The electronic device of claim 13, wherein the processor receives the at least one notification information from the external electronic device, when the target page is displayed on the external electronic device.

17. The electronic device of claim 16, wherein the processor transmits an identifier from among the first identifier and the second identifier corresponding to the target page to the external electronic device.

18. The electronic device of claim 13, wherein the pro notification information is received from the external electronic device when the application is executed on the external electronic device.

19. A non-transitory storage medium storing instructions which, when executed by at least one processor, perform a process comprising:

executing an application including a plurality of pages displayable to a display operatively coupled to a mobile electronic device, the plurality of pages including a first page and a second page corresponding to a first identifier and a second identifier respectively;

identifying a target page to be displayed on the display from among the first and second pages;

transmitting to an external electronic device a target identifier corresponding to the target page from among the first identifier and the second identifier via a network;

receiving notification information corresponding to the target identifier from the external electronic device; and

displaying at least part of the received notification information and the target page.

20. The storage medium of claim 19, wherein the target identifier is transmitted in response to detecting display of the target page.
