Abstract
A computer-implemented user notification method includes displaying, in a status area near a perimeter of a graphical interface, a notification of a recent alert event for a mobile device, receiving a user selection in the status area, and in response to the receipt of the user selection, displaying, in a central zone of the graphical interface, detail regarding a plurality of recent messaging events for the mobile device.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- displaying, by a touchscreen display of a mobile device, a graphical user interface that includes a status area along a top edge of the touchscreen display and a central zone located adjacent to and below the status area, wherein the status area includes one or more of an indication of a battery level of a battery of the mobile device or a wireless signal strength;
- detecting, by the touchscreen display, a user input initiated within the status area of the graphical user interface and including a dragging manipulation from the status area of the graphical user interface and across the graphical user interface away from the top edge of the touchscreen display;
- while the touchscreen display detects the dragging manipulation, displaying, by the touchscreen display, an animation of a panel visually expanding across the graphical user interface from the top edge of the touchscreen display in a downward direction into the central zone of the graphical user interface in coordination with the dragging manipulation;
- and displaying, by the touchscreen display, the panel within at least the central zone of the graphical user interface, the panel including detail regarding a plurality of alert events for the mobile device, wherein at least one of the plurality of alert events corresponds to a message received by the mobile device, and wherein detail regarding the message includes at least a portion of text included in the message.

A device comprising:
- a touchscreen display;
- one or more processors;
- and
- a memory that stores instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
- output, for display by the touchscreen display, a graphical user interface that includes a status area along a top edge of the touchscreen display and a central zone located adjacent to and below the status area, wherein the status area includes one or more of an indication of a battery level of a battery of the mobile device or a wireless signal strength;
- receive an indication of a user input detected by the touchscreen display, the user input initiated within the status area of the graphical user interface and including a dragging manipulation from the status area of the graphical user interface and across the graphical user interface away from the top edge of the touchscreen display;
- while the touchscreen display detects the dragging manipulation, output, for display by the touchscreen display, an animation of a panel visually expanding across the graphical user interface from the top edge of the touchscreen display in a downward direction into the central zone of the graphical user interface in coordination with the dragging manipulation;
- and
- output, for display by the touchscreen display, the panel within at least the central zone of the graphical user interface, the panel including detail regarding a plurality of alert events for the mobile device, wherein at least one of the plurality of alert events corresponds to a message received by the mobile device, and wherein detail regarding the message includes at least a portion of text included in the message.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium encoded with instructions that, when executed, cause one or more processors of a mobile device to:
- output, for display by a touchscreen display of the mobile device, a graphical user interface that includes a status area along a top edge of the touchscreen display and a central zone located adjacent to and below the status area, wherein the status area includes one or more of an indication of a battery level of a battery of the mobile device or a wireless signal strength;
- receive an indication of a user input detected by the touchscreen display, the user input initiated within the status area of the graphical user interface and including a dragging manipulation from the status area of the graphical user interface and across the graphical user interface away from the top edge of the touchscreen display;
- while the touchscreen display detects the dragging manipulation, output, for display by the touchscreen display, an animation of a panel visually expanding across the graphical user interface from the top edge of the touchscreen display in a downward direction into the central zone of the graphical user interface in coordination with the dragging manipulation;
- and
- output, for display by the touchscreen display, the panel within at least the central zone of the graphical user interface, the panel including detail regarding a plurality of alert events for the mobile device, wherein at least one of the plurality of alert events corresponds to a message received by the mobile device, and wherein detail regarding the message includes at least a portion of text included in the message.
