4. The device according to claim 1, wherein the user interaction involving the user interface item provided by the first program comprises receiving an input associated with the first program while the first memo or the second memo is displayed on the display of the device.

5. The device according to claim 1, wherein the processor is configured to execute the instructions to:

control to register the obtained first and second time-related information as the first and second notification-triggering conditions, respectively, at the device.

6. The device according to claim 1, wherein the first memo or the second memo is provided as a notification in a form of an image.

7. A method for providing a notification using a device, comprising:

composing a first memo with handwritten characters and a second memo with typed-in characters, using a first program, executed by the device, for composing memos;

based at least on a user interaction involving a user interface item provided by the first program, associating a second program for providing a notification with the first memo and the second memo;

obtaining, using the second program, first time-related information as a first notification-triggering condition based at least on results of a first analysis performed on the first memo;

based at least on the first notification-triggering condition, displaying, using the second program, the first memo with the handwritten characters as a first notification on a display of the device at a time corresponding to the first time-related information;

obtaining, using the second program, second time-related information as a second notification-triggering condition based at least on results of a second analysis performed on the second memo; and

based at least on the second notification-triggering condition, displaying, using the second program, the second memo with the typed-in characters as a second notification on the display of the device at a time corresponding to the second time-related information.

8. The method of claim 7, wherein the first memo or the second memo is provided as a notification in a form of an image.

9. The method of claim 7, further comprising:

based on the second memo with typed-in characters, sending the second memo and the second notification-triggering condition to a management server such that the second memo is provided as a notification at another electronic device, which accesses the management server, at a time included in the second notification-triggering condition.

10. A device for providing a notification, comprising:

a memory storing instructions for a first program for composing a memo and a second program for providing a notification, and

a processor configured to execute the instructions to at least;

control to compose, using the first program, a first memo with handwritten characters and a second memo with typed-in characters;

based at least on a user interaction involving a user interface item provided by the first program, control to associate the second program with the first memo and the second memo;
