Abstract

A method for outputting accompanying data received together with a message. The method can determine whether accompanying data is included in at least one received message and, when the accompanying data is included, display a notification message that includes notification information about the accompanying data and, when the notification information is chosen, directly output the accompanying data.

Claims

1-20. -20. (canceled)

21. An apparatus comprising:

a display; and

a processor operatively coupled with the display, the processor configured to;

receive a message associated with an application from an electronic device external to the apparatus;

present, via at least a portion of the display, a notification corresponding to the message, the presenting including presenting a menu in relation with the notification, the menu to be used to set the message as read;

identify an input associated with the menu; and

terminate the presenting of at least one of the notification or the menu from the display in response to the input.

22. The apparatus of claim 21, wherein the processor is configured to set the message as read in response to the input.

23. The apparatus of claim 22, wherein the processor is configured to refrain from presenting the application in the setting of the message as read.

24. The apparatus of claim 21, wherein the processor is configured to present another menu in relation with the notification, the other menu to be used to reply the message.

25. The apparatus of claim 24, wherein the processor is configured to:

identify another input associated with the other menu; and

present, in response to the other input, a user interface to be used to reply the message.

26. The apparatus of claim 25, wherein the user interface is to be executed as a function of the application.

27. The apparatus of claim 25, wherein the user interface is to be executed as a function of another application.

28. The apparatus of claim 25, wherein the processor is configured to present at least a portion of the message in relation with the user interface in response to the other input, the presenting of the user interface including refraining from presenting any message other than the message.

29. The apparatus of claim 21, wherein the processor is configured to present another menu in relation with the notification, the other menu to be used to present content of a file accompanying the message.

30. The apparatus of claim 21, wherein the processor is configured to present at least one of the notification or the menu while a wait mode screen is presented via the display.

31. The apparatus of claim 30, wherein the processor is configured to present content of a file accompanying the message while the wait mode screen is presented via the display.

32. The apparatus of claim 30, wherein the wait mode screen comprises a lock screen to disable at least one user input to the apparatus compared to a normal mode screen for the apparatus.

33. The apparatus of claim 31, wherein the menu comprises at least one of an icon, an image or a text.

34. An apparatus comprising:

a display configured to present at least one screen; and

a processor operatively coupled with the display, the processor configured to;

receive a message associated with an application from an electronic device external to the apparatus;

present a notification corresponding to the message via a first screen, the presenting including presenting a menu in relation with the notification, the menu to be used to set the message as read;

identify an input associated with the menu; and

present a second screen in response to the input, the presenting of the second screen including deleting at least one of the notification or the menu from the second screen.

35. The apparatus of claim 34, wherein the second screen comprises a screen associated with another application.

36. The apparatus of claim 34, wherein the first screen and the second screen are a same screen.

37. The apparatus of claim 34, wherein the processor is configured to set the message as read in response to the input.

38. The apparatus of claim 34, wherein the processor is configured to present at least one of the notification or the menu translucently or transparently.

39. An apparatus comprising:

a display configured to present at least one screen; and

a processor operatively coupled with the display, the processor configured to;

receive a message associated with an application from an electronic device external to the apparatus;

present, via the display, a notification corresponding to the message;

identify an input to select the notification; and

present a user interface to be used to reply the message in response to the input, the presenting of the user interface including refraining from presenting the application.

40. The apparatus of claim 39, wherein the processor is configured to present at least a portion of the message in relation with the user interface in response to the input, the presenting of the user interface including refraining from presenting any message other than the message.

41. The apparatus of claim 39, wherein the processor is configured to set the message as read in response to the input.

42. A method comprising:

receiving, at an electronic device, a message associated with an application from another electronic device external to the electronic device;

presenting a notification corresponding to the message via a display operatively coupled with the electronic device, the presenting including presenting a menu in relation with the notification, the menu to be used to set the message as read;

identifying an input associated with the menu; and

terminating the presenting of at least one of the notification or the menu in response to the input.

43. The method of claim 42, wherein identifying the input comprises setting the message as read in response to the input.

44. The method of claim 43, wherein terminating the presenting comprises refraining from presenting the application in the setting of the message as read.

45. The method of claim 42, wherein presenting the notification comprises presenting at least one of the notification or the menu while a lock screen is presented via the display.
