Abstract
An electronic including a transceiver configured to receive, from at least one wearable device, information indicating whether the at least one wearable device is being worn; and a processor configured to determine whether the at least one wearable device that is being worn, based on the received information indicating whether the at least one wearable device is being worn, and to provide a notification to the at least one wearable device in response to determining that the at least one wearable device is being worn.
Claims19
An electronic device comprising:
- a transceiver configured to wirelessly communicate with a plurality of wearable devices;
- and
- at least one processor configured to:
- receive, from the plurality of wearable devices via the transceiver, first information indicating that each of the plurality of wearable devices is being worn by a user, wherein the plurality of wearable devices include a first wearable device and a second wearable device,
- based on the received first information, select the first wearable device and the second wearable device for transmitting notification information,
- transmit, via the transceiver, the notification information to the first wearable device and the second wearable device,
- receive, via the transceiver, second information from one of the first wearable device or the second wearable device, the second information indicating that the notification information has been checked at the one of the first wearable device or the second wearable device, and
- based on the second information, transmit, via the transceiver, third information to a remaining one of the first wearable device or the second wearable device, the third information indicating that the notification information has been checked.
A method of providing notifications in an electronic device and a plurality of wearable devices capable of wirelessly communicating with the electronic device, the method comprising:
- receiving, from the plurality of wearable devices, first information indicating that each of the plurality of wearable devices is being worn by a user, wherein the plurality of wearable devices include a first wearable device and a second wearable device;
- based on the received first information, selecting the first wearable device and the second wearable device for transmitting notification information;
- transmitting the notification information to the first wearable device and the second wearable device;
- receiving second information from one of the first wearable device or the second wearable device, the second information indicating that the notification information has been checked at the one of the first wearable device or the second wearable device;
- and
- based on the second information, transmitting third information to a remaining one of the first wearable device or the second wearable device, the third information indicating that the notification information has been checked.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having recorded thereon a computer program, which, when executed by a computer, causes the computer to execute a method comprising:
- receiving, from a plurality of wearable devices, first information indicating that each of the plurality of wearable devices is being worn by a user, wherein the plurality of wearable devices include a first wearable device and a second wearable device;
- based on the received first information, selecting the first wearable device and the second wearable device for transmitting notification information;
- transmitting the notification information to the first wearable device and the second wearable device;
- receiving second information from one of the first wearable device or the second wearable device, the second information indicating that the notification information has been checked at the one of the first wearable device or the second wearable device;
- and
- based on the second information, transmitting third information to a remaining one of the first wearable device or the second wearable device, the third information indicating that the notification information has been checked.
