Electronic device and method of providing visual notification of a received communication
First Claim
1. An electronic device, comprising:
- a memory; and
at least one hardware processor communicatively coupled with the memory and configured to;
display first information associated with a first application in a display area of the electronic device;
detect a change in direction of a continuous gesture across at least a portion of the display area between a first direction and a second direction different than the first direction, the continuous gesture associated with a request to display second information of a second application, the first application being different than the second application;
in response to detecting the change in direction of the continuous gesture, reduce display of the first application to a first portion of the display area and present a preview of the second information associated with the second application in a second portion of the display area in which the first application was presented prior to detection of the continuous gesture;
based on a first characteristic of the continuous gesture, discontinue providing the first information and display the second application in the display area; and
based on a second characteristic of the continuous gesture, discontinue providing the second information and display the first application in the display area.

Abstract
A method disclosed herein includes displaying information associated with a first application in a display area of an electronic device, detecting a change in direction of a continuous gesture across at least a portion of the display area between a first direction and a second direction different than the first direction, the continuous gesture associated with a request to display information of a second application, the first application being different than the second application, in response to detecting the change in direction of the continuous gesture, reducing display of the first application to a first portion of the display area and presenting a preview of information associated with the second application in a second portion of the display area in which the first application was presented prior to detection of the continuous gesture, based on a first characteristic of the continuous gesture, discontinuing providing the first information and display the second application in the display area, and based on a second characteristic of the continuous gesture, discontinuing providing the second information and display the first application in the display area.

9. A non-transitory computer-readable medium containing instructions which, when executed, cause an electronic device to perform operations comprising:
-
displaying first information associated with a first application in a display area of the electronic device; detecting a change in direction of a continuous gesture across at least a portion of the display area between a first direction and a second direction different than the first direction, the continuous gesture associated with a request to display second information of a second application, the first application being different than the second application; in response to detecting the change in direction of the continuous gesture, reducing display of the first application to a first portion of the display area and presenting a preview of the second information associated with the second application in a second portion of the display area in which the first application was presented prior to detection of the continuous gesture; based on a first characteristic of the continuous gesture, discontinuing providing the first information and display the second application in the display area; and based on a second characteristic of the continuous gesture, discontinuing providing the second information and display the first application in the display area. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. An electronic device, comprising:
-
a memory; and at least one hardware processor communicatively coupled with the memory and configured to; display information associated with a first application in a display area of the electronic device; detect a continuous gesture at least partially extending across the display area, the continuous gesture being associated with a request to display a plurality of images associated with a plurality of second applications, the first application being different than the plurality of second applications; in response to detecting the continuous gesture in a first direction, reduce the displayed information associated with the first application to a first portion of the display area; and in response to detecting the continuous gesture in a second direction different than the first direction, display for preview the plurality of images associated with the plurality of second applications in a second portion of the display area in which the displayed information of the first application was presented prior to being reduced to the first portion of the display area. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
