A portable device configured to provide notice information, the portable device comprising:
- a display configured to be divided into at least two areas, each area corresponding to a group, among a plurality of groups, to which notice information belongs;
- and
- a controller configured to:
- while the display is divided into the at least two areas, sense a first notification event comprising a first notice information;
- based on the first notice information in the first notification event, determine which group among the plurality of groups the first notice information belongs;
- control the display to activate pixels included in a first area corresponding to the group to which the first notice information in the first notification event belongs while inactivating all the pixels in each area corresponding to each group to which the first notice information in the first notification event does not belong,
- sense a second notification event comprising a second notice information while the display activates pixels included in the first area corresponding to the group to which the first notice information belongs;
- control the display to inactivate pixels included in the first area corresponding to the group to which the first notice information belongs;
- and
- control the display to activate pixels included in a second area corresponding to the group to which the second notice information in the second notification event belongs,
- wherein the controller is further configured to control the display to display group notice information of a group to which the first notice information and the second notice information belongs, in the area comprising the activated pixels.
