First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of providing a notification at a wearable device by an electronic device, the method comprising:
- receiving a user input to a user interface of the electronic device to configure a form of the notification to be provided at the wearable device;
based on the user input, transmitting, from the electronic device to the wearable device, a control signal for configuring the form of the notification to be provided at the wearable device;
detecting a notification event corresponding to the notification at the electronic device; and
based on determining that the electronic device is not in use, transmitting, by the electronic device, information corresponding to the detected notification event to the wearable device so that the notification corresponding to the detected notification event is provided in the configured form at the wearable device.
