Abstract
An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a housing including a front surface and a rear surface, a display, a communication circuit, at least one processor, and a memory. The memory stores instructions which, when executed, cause the at least one processor to receive a signal from outside of the electronic device using the communication circuit, in response to receiving the signal, display a user interface on an elongated region that extends along at least one edge region of the display, and display at least one content corresponding to the signal, while displaying the user interface or after displaying the user interface.
Claims20
A portable communication device comprising:
- a housing;
- a display disposed in the housing, the display including a first edge region, a second edge region disposed in parallel with respect to the first edge region in a first direction, a third edge region, and a fourth edge region disposed in parallel with respect to the third edge region in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, the first edge region having a first length and the third edge region having a second length longer than the first length, wherein the first edge region, the second edge region, the third edge region, and the fourth edge region are adjacent to the housing;
- a communication circuit disposed in the housing;
- a processor disposed in the housing;
- a display driver integrated (DDI) circuit;
- and
- memory electrically connected with the display, the communication circuit and the processor and storing instructions,
- wherein the instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the portable communication device to:
- receive, via the communication circuit, a signal from an external electronic device in a sleep mode;
- and
- in response to receiving the signal, display, on the display, a first graphic object displayed along at least part of the third edge region with an extending effect and a second graphic object displayed along at least part of the fourth edge region with an extending effect.
An operation method of a portable communication device including a display including a first edge region, a second edge region disposed in parallel with respect to the first edge region in a first direction, a third edge region, and a fourth edge region disposed in parallel with respect to the third edge region in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, the first edge region having a first length and the third edge region having a second length longer than the first length, the operation method comprising:
- receiving a signal from an external electronic device in a sleep mode;
- and
- in response to receiving the signal, displaying, on a display, a first graphic object displayed along at least part of the third edge region with an extending effect and a second graphic object displayed along at least part of the fourth edge region with an extending effect.
A portable communication device comprising:
- a housing;
- a display disposed in the housing, the display including a first edge region, a second edge region disposed in parallel with respect to the first edge region in a first direction, a third edge region, and a fourth edge region disposed in parallel with respect to the third edge region in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, the first edge region having a first length and the third edge region having a second length longer than the first length, wherein the first edge region, the second edge region, the third edge region, and the fourth edge region are adjacent to the housing;
- a communication circuit disposed in the housing;
- a processor disposed in the housing;
- a display driver integrated (DDI) circuit;
- and
- memory electrically connected with the display, the communication circuit and the processor, and storing instructions,
- wherein the instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the portable communication device to:
- while displaying information on the display through intrinsic operation of the DDI circuit without intervention of the processor, receive, via the communication circuit, a signal from an external electronic device;
- identify whether the signal is associated with a text message;
- and
- in response to identifying that the signal is associated with a text message, control to display, on the display, a first graphic portion displayed along at least part of the third edge region with an extending effect and a second graphic portion displayed along at least part of the fourth edge region with an extending effect.
