Claims18
An electronic device comprising:
- a touch screen;
- and
- at least one processor electrically connected to the touch screen, wherein the at least one processor is configured to:
- control the touch screen to display at least one application icon on a first layer of a home screen while initial booting process is performed to initialize the electronic device, with at least one initial setup icon on a second layer overlay on the first layer, each of the at least one initial setup icon being an icon for an initial setting of default information related to at least one function of the electronic device,
- while at least one initial setup icon is displayed on the home screen, receive, through the touch screen, a first user input for executing a first application that corresponds to a first application icon included in the at least one application icon,
- in response to receiving the first user input, identify whether an uncompleted initial setup associated with the first application exists,
- in response to identifying that the uncompleted initial setup exists, control the touch screen to display a first initial setup icon distinguishable from among the at least one initial setup icon, the first initial setup icon being related to the uncompleted initial setup,
- while the first initial setup icon is distinguishably displayed, receive, through the touch screen, a second user input for an initial setting of default information for the first application related to the first initial setup icon,
- in response to receiving the second user input, control the touch screen to display a first setting window, on a part of the home screen, for setting the default information for the first application related to the first initial setup icon,
- in response to receiving a third user input on the first setting window, complete the uncompleted initial setup of the first application related to the first initial setup icon, based on the third user input on the first setting window,
- in response to completing the uncompleted initial setup related to the first initial setup icon, remove the first initial setup icon from the second layer overlay on the first layer of home screen,
- in response to identifying that the uncompleted initial setup further exists, control the touch screen to display a second initial setup icon distinguishable from among the at least one initial setup icon, the second initial setup icon being related to the uncompleted initial setup, and
- in response to identifying that the uncompleted initial setup does not exist, execute the first application.
