Abstract

The present disclosure includes a method for providing a push notification and an electronic device thereof. The electronic device may include a display; a communication circuit configured to receive a push notification from a server; and a processor coupled with the display and the communication circuit. The processor is configured to obtain context information of the electronic device based on a specified exposure time of the push notification; determine whether a situation where the push notification is enabled to be output is detected, based on the context information; and display the push notification via the display when the situation where the push notification is enabled to be output is detected.

Claims

1. An electronic device comprising:

a display;

a communication circuit configured to receive a push notification from a server; and

a processor coupled with the display and the communication circuit,

wherein the processor is configured to;

obtain context information of the electronic device based on a specified exposure time of the push notification;

determine whether a situation where the push notification is enabled to be output is detected, based on the context information; and

display, via the display, the push notification when the situation where the push notification is enabled to be output is detected.

2. The electronic device of claim 1, wherein the push notification comprises information related to at least one of exposure-related information or a characteristic category, and

wherein the context information of the electronic device comprises at least one of information for determining whether the electronic device is used, or information regarding an application which is executed in the electronic device.

3. The electronic device of claim 2, wherein, when the push notification is received, the processor is configured to identify the exposure-related information of the push notification, and

wherein the exposure-related information comprises at least one of an exposure time, a valid time, a main text message, or a priority.

4. The electronic device of claim 3, wherein, when the situation where the push notification is enabled to be output is not detected, the processor is configured to determine whether the valid time arrives, and

wherein, when the valid time arrives, the processor is configured to display, via the display, the push notification.

5. The electronic device of claim 2, wherein the processor is configured to identify the characteristic category of the push notification, and, when the characteristic category is an event notification, to obtain the context information.

6. The electronic device of claim 5, wherein, when the push notification is an update notification, the processor is configured to identify an update setting of the electronic device, and to obtain the context information based on the update setting.

7. The electronic device of claim 1, wherein, when information regarding a weighted situation is received from the server through the communication circuit, the processor is configured to obtain the context information based on the information regarding the weighted situation.

8. The electronic device of claim 7, wherein the processor is configured to obtain the context information regarding the weighted situation for a specified time, and, when the weighted situation is not detected for the specified time, to obtain context information related to the situation where the push notification is enabled to be output.

9. The electronic device of claim 1, wherein, when an input for identifying the push notification is detected, the processor is configured to transmit information regarding a situation where the push notification is displayed to the server through the communication circuit.

10. The electronic device of claim 3, wherein, when an input for requesting a renotification of the push notification is received, the processor is configured to determine a renotification time of the push notification,

wherein, when the renotification time is to arrive earlier than the valid time, the processor is configured to display, via the display, the push notification at the renotification time, and

wherein, when the renotification time is to arrive later than the valid time, the processor is configured to display, via the display, the push notification at the valid time.

11. An operating method of an electronic device, comprising:

receiving a push notification from a server;

obtaining context information of the electronic device based on an exposure time of the push notification;

determining whether a situation where the push notification is enabled to be output is detected, based on the context information; and

displaying, via a display of the electronic device, the push notification when the situation where the push notification is enabled to be output is detected.

12. The operating method of claim 11, wherein the push notification comprises information related to at least one of exposure-related information or a characteristic category, and

wherein the context information of the electronic device comprises at least one of information for determining whether the electronic device is used, or information regarding an application which is executed in the electronic device.

13. The operating method of claim 12, further comprising, when the push notification is received, identifying the exposure-related information of the push notification, and

wherein the exposure-related information comprises at least one of an exposure time, a valid time, a main text message, or a priority.

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

when the situation where the push notification is enabled to be output is not detected, determining whether the valid time arrives, and

when the valid time arrives, displaying, via the display, the push notification.

15. The operating method of claim 12, further comprising:

identifying the characteristic category of the push notification; and

when the characteristic category is an event notification, obtaining the context information.

16. The operating method of claim 15, further comprising:

when the push notification is an update notification, identifying an update setting of the electronic device; and

obtaining the context information based on the update setting.

17. The operating method of claim 11, further comprising, when information regarding a weighted situation is received from the server, obtaining the context information based on the information regarding the weighted situation.

18. The operating method of claim 17, wherein obtaining the context information of the electronic device based on the information regarding the weighted situation comprises:

obtaining the information regarding the weighted situation for a specified time; and

when the weighted situation is not detected for the specified time, obtaining context information related to the situation where the push notification is enabled to be output.

19. The operating method of claim 11, further comprising, when an input for identifying the push notification is detected, transmitting information regarding a situation where the push notification is displayed to the server.

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

when an input for requesting a renotification of the push notification is received, determining a renotification time of the push notification,

when the renotification time is to arrive earlier than the valid time, displaying, via the display, the push notification at the renotification time; and

when the renotification time is to arrive later than the valid time, displaying, via the display, the push notification at the valid time.
