Abstract

Disclosed is a method of displaying a notification on a device with a plurality of operating systems (OSes) installed therein. The method includes identifying a first OS displayed on a first display of the device among the plurality of OSes, detecting a notification generated in a second OS running in a background of the device among the plurality of OSes, converting the generated notification based on a preset format of the first OS when the notification is generated, and displaying the converted notification on the first display on which the first OS is displayed.

Claims

1. A method of displaying a notification on a device with a plurality of operating systems (OSes) installed therein, the method comprising:

displaying a first OS displayed on a display of the device;

identifying a second OS running in an external device connected with the device;

detecting a notification generated in the second OS;

converting the detected notification based on a preset format of the first OS, in response to the notification being detected; and

displaying the converted notification on the display on which the first OS is displayed.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

displaying the first OS and a third OS on the display; and

selecting the first OS from between the first OS and the third OS when the notification is generated, wherein

the converting of the generated notification comprises converting the generated notification based on the preset format of the selected first OS.

3. The method of claim 2, further comprising dividing a screen area of the display, wherein

the displaying of the first OS comprises displaying the first OS and a third OS in a first window and a second window, respectively, which are obtained by the dividing of the screen area.

4. The method of claim 2, wherein the selecting of the OS comprises selecting the OS based on a complexity of each of the first window and the second window.

5. The method of claim 2, further comprising:

stopping displaying the third OS in the second window;

running the third OS in the background of the device; and

converting another detected notification based on the preset format of the first OS when the other detected notification is generated in at least one of the second OS and the third OS.

6. The method of claim 2, further comprising detecting the external device, wherein

displaying the third OS running in the background of the device on a external display of the external device when the second display is detected.

7. The method of claim 6, wherein the selecting of the OS comprises:

identifying types of the display and the external display; and

selecting the OS based on the identified types of the displays.

8. The method of claim 6, wherein the selecting of the OS comprises selecting the OS based on a complexity of each of the display and the external display.

9. The method of claim 6, further comprising:

stopping displaying the third OS on the external display;

running the third OS in the background of the device; and

converting another detected notification based on the preset format of the first OS when the other detected notification is generated in the second OS or the third OS.

10. The method of claim 2, further comprising:

stopping displaying the first OS on the display;

displaying the second OS on the display;

detecting a notification generated in the first OS; and

displaying the detected notification.

11. A device with a plurality of operating systems (OSes) installed therein, the device comprising:

a display; and

at least one processor configured to control the display to display a first OS, identify a second OS running in an external device connected with the device, detect a notification generated in the second OS, convert the detected notification based on a preset format of the first OS, in response to the notification being detected and control the display to display the converted notification on the display on which the first OS is displayed.

12. The device of claim 11, wherein the at least one processor configured to:

control the display to display the first OS and a third OS,

select the first OS from between the first OS and the third OS when the notification is generated and

convert the generated notification based on the preset format of the selected first OS.

13. The device of claim 12, wherein the at least one processor configured to:

divide a screen area of the display,

control the display to display the first OS and a third OS in a first window and a second window, respectively, which are obtained by the dividing of the screen area.

14. The device of claim 12, wherein the at least one processor configured to select the OS based on a complexity of each of the first window and the second window.

15. The device claim 12, wherein the at least one processor configured to:

stop displaying the third OS in the second window,

run the third OS in the background of the device, and

convert another detected notification based on the preset format of the first OS when the other detected notification is generated in at least one of the second OS and the third OS.

16. The device of claim 12, wherein the at least one processor configured to:

detect the external device, and

control the display to display the third OS running in the background of the device on a external display of the external device when the second display is detected.

17. The device claim 16, wherein the at least one processor configured to:

identify types of the display and the external display, and

select the OS based on the identified types of the displays.

18. The device of claim 16, wherein the at least one processor configured to select the OS based on a complexity of each of the display and the external display.

19. The device of claim 16, wherein the at least one processor configured to:

stop displaying the third OS on the external display,

run the third OS in the background of the device, and

convert another detected notification based on the preset format of the first OS when the other detected notification is generated in the second OS or the third OS.

20. The device of claim 12, wherein the at least one processor configured to:

stop displaying the first OS on the display,

control the display to display the second OS on the display,

detect a notification generated in the first OS and

control the display to display the detected notification.
