Abstract

Various embodiments provide an electronic device and a method, the electronic device comprising a memory, a communication module, a display, and a processor functionally connected to the memory, the communication module, or the display, wherein the processor is set to determine whether a message received through the communication module includes a message display time and to determine whether to display the message by requesting a message service server to check whether to display the received message when a current time approaches the message display time. In addition, other embodiments are also possible.

Claims10

Dependent claims

An electronic device comprising:

a memory;
communication circuitry;
a display;
and
a processor connected to the memory, the communication circuitry, or the display,
wherein the processor is configured to:
receive, from a first server, through the communication circuitry, a push message including message content and a field,
identify a type of the push message based on the field, wherein the type is one of a general type, a reserved type or a content type,
wherein the push message of the general type comprises no message display time in the field,
wherein the push message of the reserved type comprises information on a message display time in the field, and
wherein the push message of the content type comprises content information for downloading additional content and the information on the message display time in the field,
if the type of the push message is the general type,
display the message content of the push message on the display,
if the type of the push message is the reserved type:
store the push message in the memory,
when a current time approaches the message display time, transmit, through the communication circuitry, a request to confirm whether to display the stored push message on the display to the first server,
receive a display control command in response to the request from the first server, and
display the message content of the stored push message on the display at the message display time based on the display control command, and if the type of the push message is the content type:
store the push message in the memory,
when the current time approaches the message display time, transmit, through the communication circuitry, a content download request to a second server based on the content information,
receive the additional content in response to the content download request, and
display, via the display, the message content of the stored push message and the received additional content at the message display time.

19 more elements

A method of operating an electronic device, the method comprising:

receiving, from a first server, a push message including message content and a field;
identifying a type of the push message based on the field, wherein the type is one of a general type, a reserved type or a content type,
wherein the push message of the general type comprises no message display time in the field,
wherein the push message of the reserved type comprises information on a message display time in the field, and
wherein the push message of the content type comprises content information for downloading additional content and the information on the message display time in the field;
if the type of the push message is the general type,
displaying the message content of the push message on a display of the electronic device,
if the type of the push message is the reserved type:
storing the push message in a memory of the electronic device,
when a current time approaches the message display time, transmitting, to the first server, a request to confirm whether to display the stored push message on the display, and
receiving, from the first server, a display control command in response to the request, and
displaying the message content of the stored push message at the message display time on the display based on the display control command;
and
if the type of the push message is the content type:
store the push message in the memory,
when the current time approaches the message display time, transmitting, through communication circuitry, a content download request to a second server based on the content information,
receiving the additional content in response to the content download request, and
displaying, via the display, the message content of the stored push message and the received additional content at the message display time.
