Abstract

A method of providing an activity notification is provided. The method includes registering, by the device, information about the activity notification according to a request for registering the activity notification, and transmitting, by the device, the registered information about the activity notification to a management device, wherein the management device performs a process of providing the activity notification.

Claims

1. A method of registering an activity notification, comprising:

receiving, by the device, a request for registering the activity notification;

providing, by the device, at least one activity notification option based on a current framework of the device, the at least one activity notification option comprising the activity notification;

receiving, by the device, a selection of the activity notification from the at least one activity notification option;

registering, by the device, information about the activity notification comprising a context for the activity notification; and

transmitting, by the device, the information about the activity notification to a management device.

2. The method of claim 1,

wherein the management device performs a process of providing the activity notification, and

wherein the registering, by the device, of the information about the activity notification comprises setting the management device with respect to the process of providing the activity notification.

3. The method of claim 2, wherein the process of providing the activity notification comprises at least one of a process of registering, by the management device, the information about the activity notification, a process of editing or canceling the information about the activity notification, a process of checking an activity notification triggering condition based on the context for the activity notification, or a process of triggering the activity notification based on the context for the activity notification.

4. The method of claim 2, wherein the setting of the management device comprises setting the management device based on at least one of information about a user of the device, information about the device, or information about at least one external device with which the device communicates.

5. The method of claim 1,

wherein the context for the activity notification comprises a plurality of processes performed by a plurality of management devices, and

wherein the transmitting, by the device, of the information about the activity notification to the management device comprises, transmitting the information about the activity notification to at least one of the plurality of management devices according to the respective plurality of processes.

6. The method of claim 1,

wherein the context for the activity notification comprises a plurality of processes performed by a plurality of management devices,

wherein the plurality of management devices comprises the device, and

wherein the method further comprises storing, by the device, pieces of the information about the activity notification in the device comprising information about the activity notification related to a process of the plurality of processes that is performed by the device.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein the management device comprises at least one of the device, a server for providing a service associated with the activity notification, or at least one external device that communicates with the device.

8. The method of claim 1, further comprising, if information indicating that an activity notification triggering condition is satisfied is received from an external device, triggering the activity notification by the device.

9. The method of claim 8, wherein the triggered activity notification comprises information for executing a corresponding activity.

10. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

receiving the activity notification from at least one external device;

storing the received activity notification to the device; and

triggering the stored activity notification according to a request by a user of the device.

11. The method of claim 1, wherein the providing of at least one activity notification option based on a current framework of the device comprises, during execution of one of an application or a service by the device, providing a user interface via which information about the activity notification is registered based on the executed application.

12. The method of claim 1, wherein the information about the activity notification further comprises information about the management device, information about an activity, and activity notification triggering condition information.

13. The method of claim 12, wherein the information about the activity comprises at least one of text information, still image information, audio information, video information, application link information, service link information, application function information, or service function information.

14. A computer readable recording medium having embodied thereon a program for executing the method of providing the activity notification of claim 1.

15. A device comprising:

an information input unit configured to input information about a request for registering an activity notification and information about the activity notification comprising a context for the activity notification;

a display unit configured to display a user interface via which the request for registering the activity notification and information about the activity notification are input, the user interface comprising at least one activity notification option based on a current framework of the device, the at least one activity notification option comprising the activity notification;

a storage unit configured to store information about the activity notification received via the information input unit and a program for providing information about the activity notification by using the device;

a communication unit configured to communicate with at least one external device; and

a processor configured to;

register, to the storage unit, information about the activity notification received via the information input unit after the request for registering the activity notification is received, and

transmit the registered information about the activity notification to the at least one external device via the communication unit,

wherein the at least one external device to which the registered information about the activity notification is transmitted comprises a management device.

16. The device of claim 15,

wherein the management device performs a process of providing the activity notification, and

wherein the information about the activity notification received via the information input unit comprises information about the management device that manages the process of providing the activity notification.

17. The device of claim 16, wherein the process of providing the activity notification comprises at least one of a process of registering the information about the activity notification, a process of editing or canceling the information about the activity notification, a process of checking the activity notification triggering condition based on the context for the activity notification, or a process of triggering the activity notification based on the context for the activity notification.

18. The device of claim 16, wherein the activity notification displayed on the display unit comprises information for executing a corresponding activity.
