Abstract

A message application operating method for promptly transmitting a message to a user without switching a screen, and an electronic device for implementing the method are provided. The method includes executing an application including a schema; recognizing an execution request for a message composing window while the application is executed; displaying the message composing window in response to the request; recognizing a completion of inputting a message in the message composing window; and requesting a transmission of the message to a related application that processes the schema.

Claims

1. A method for an electronic device to manage a message application, the method comprising:

executing an application including a schema;

recognizing an execution request for a message composing window while the application is executed;

displaying the message composing window in response to the request;

recognizing a completion of inputting a message in the message composing window; and

requesting a transmission of the message to a related application that processes the schema.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the message composing window has the schema as a unique identifier, and includes a composing window, a transmission button, and a call button.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein displaying the message composing window is executed when the related application to process the schema exists.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein displaying the message composing window further comprises:

displaying the message composing window in an entirety, a portion, or on the outside of a screen of the application; and

moving the message composing window.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein recognizing the completion of inputting the message further comprises recognizing a selection of a transmission button of the message composing window.

6. The method of claim 5, wherein recognizing the selection of the transmission button further comprises terminating the message composing window.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein recognizing the completion of inputting the message further comprises recognizing a selection of a call button of the message composing window.

8. The method of claim 7, wherein recognizing the selection of the call button further comprises terminating the message composing window.

9. The method of claim 7, further comprising executing the related application after terminating the message composing window.

10. The method of claim 1, wherein requesting the transmission of the message further comprises requesting a transmission of the message through a message sender of the related application.

11. An electronic device, comprising:

a display module including a touch panel installed in a screen;

a memory configured to store a schema and a message sender of a related application; and

a processor configured to execute an application including a schema, to recognize an execution request for a message composing window while the application is executed, to display the message composing window in response to the request, to recognize a completion of inputting a message in the message composing window, and to request a transmission of the message to a related application that processes the schema.

12. The electronic device of claim 11, wherein the message composing window has the schema as a unique identifier, and includes a composing window, a transmission button, and a call button.

13. The electronic device of claim 11, wherein the processor is configured to display the message composing window when the related application to process the schema exists.

14. The electronic device of claim 11, wherein the processor is configured to display the message composing window in an entirety, a portion, or on the outside of a screen of the application, and to move the message composing window.

15. The electronic device of claim 11, wherein the processor is configured to recognize a selection of a transmission button of the message composing window.

16. The electronic device of claim 15, wherein the processor is configured to terminate the message composing window.

17. The electronic device of claim 11, wherein the processor is configured to recognize a selection of a call button of the message composing window.

18. The electronic device of claim 17, wherein the processor is configured to terminate the message composing window.

19. The electronic device of claim 18, wherein the processor is configured to execute the related application after terminating the message composing window.

20. The electronic device of claim 11, wherein the processor is configured to request a transmission of the message through a message sender of the related application.
