Abstract
An electronic device for changing a notification mode and a method therefor are provided. The electronic device includes communication circuitry, at least one processor, and a memory. The memory stores instructions, when executed, configured to cause the at least one processor to establish communication with a wearable device through the communication circuitry, and upon identifying a change in an operation state of the wearable device, change from a first notification mode of the electronic device to a second notification mode according to the identified operation state of the wearable device.
Claims14
An electronic device comprising:
- communication circuitry;
- a display;
- at least one processor;
- and
- memory storing instructions which, when executed by the at least one processor, are configured to cause the electronic device to:
- establish communication between the electronic device and a wearable device through the communication circuitry,
- identify a change from a first state in which the communication between the electronic device and the wearable device is established to a second state in which the communication between the electronic device and the wearable device is released, the change from the first state to the second state being identified by the electronic device based on the wearable device powering off, and
- based on the identifying of the change from the first state to the second state, change from a first notification mode of the electronic device to a second notification mode of the electronic device different from the first notification mode and change a first icon indicating the first notification mode displayed on the display into a second icon indicating the second notification mode,
- wherein, to change from the first notification mode of the electronic device to the second notification mode of the electronic device, the instructions, when executed by the at least one processor, are further configured to cause the electronic device to:
- based on the identifying of the change from the first state to the second state, identify that the second state is maintained for a predetermined time, and
- based on identifying that the second state is maintained for the predetermined time, change from the first notification mode of the electronic device to the second notification mode of the electronic device.

A method of controlling an electronic device, the method comprising:
- establishing communication between the electronic device and a wearable device;
- identifying a change from a first state in which the communication between the electronic device and the wearable device is established to a second state in which the communication between the electronic device and the wearable device is released, the change from the first state to the second state being identified by the electronic device based on the wearable device powering off;
- and
- based on the identifying of the change from the first state to the second state, changing from a first notification mode of the electronic device to a second notification mode of the electronic device different from the first notification mode and changing a first icon indicating the first notification mode displayed on a display of the electronic device into a second icon indicating the second notification mode,
- wherein changing from the first notification mode of the electronic device to the second notification mode of the electronic device comprises:
- based on the identifying of the change from the first state to the second state, identifying that the second state is maintained for a predetermined time;
- and
- based on identifying that the second state is maintained for the predetermined time, changing from the first notification mode of the electronic device to the second notification mode of the electronic device.

A computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer-readable recording medium having recorded thereon a plurality of instructions which, when executed by at least one processor of an electronic device, instruct the electronic device to:
- establish communication between the electronic device and a wearable device;
- identify a change from a first state in which the communication between the electronic device and the wearable device is established to a second state in which the communication between the electronic device and the wearable device is released, the change from the first state to the second state being identified by the electronic device based on the wearable device powering off;
- and
- based on the identifying of the change from the first state to the second state, change from a first notification mode of the electronic device to a second notification mode of the electronic device different from the first notification mode and change a first icon indicating the first notification mode displayed on a display of the electronic device into a second icon indicating the second notification mode,
- wherein, to change from the first notification mode of the electronic device to the second notification mode of the electronic device, the plurality of instructions, when executed by the at least one processor of the electronic device, instruct the electronic device to:
- based on the identifying of the change from the first state to the second state, identify that the second state is maintained for a predetermined time;
- and
- based on identifying that the second state is maintained for the predetermined time, change from the first notification mode of the electronic device to the second notification mode of the electronic device.
