## Abstract

Embodiments herein provide a method for managing an incoming notification. The method includes displaying, on a secondary display of a wearable device, an indication of the incoming notification, wherein the secondary display is located on a strap of the wearable device. The method includes receiving, by the wearable device, an input on the indication of the incoming notification displayed on the secondary display. The method includes performing, on a primary display of the wearable device, at least one action associated with the incoming notification based on the input.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A system for managing an incoming notification, the system comprising:
an electronic device configured to transmit said incoming notification; and
a wearable device comprising:
a primary display;
a secondary display; and
a strap extending from said primary display to said secondary display, wherein said strap is capable of being worn by a user;
wherein said wearable device configured to:
receive said incoming notification from said electronic device;
display, on said secondary display, an indication of said incoming notification;
receive an input on said indication of said incoming notification displayed on said secondary display; and
perform, on said primary display, at least one action associated with said incoming notification based on said input.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The system of claim 1, wherein said electronic device is configured to classify said incoming notification as one of a private incoming notification and a public incoming notification based on at least one parameter.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The system of claim 2, wherein said at least one parameter comprises user context, nature of data, time of a day, a day of a month, a month of a year, an intent of a user, and electronic device context.

### Claim 4

A method for managing an incoming notification, the method comprising:
displaying, on a secondary display of a wearable device, an indication of said incoming notification, wherein said secondary display is located on a strap of said wearable device;
receiving, by said wearable device, an input on said indication of said incoming notification displayed on said secondary display; and
performing, on a primary display of said wearable device, at least one action associated with said incoming notification based on said input.

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

The method of claim 4, wherein said incoming notification is classified as one of a private incoming notification and a public incoming notification based on at least one parameter.

### Claim 6 (depends on 5)

The method of claim 5, wherein said at least one parameter comprises user context, nature of data, time of a day, a day of a month, a month of a year, an intent of a user, and electronic device context.

### Claim 7 (depends on 5)

The method of claim 5, wherein said classification is performed by a controller unit of an electronic device, wherein said electronic device is one of a mobile device, a smart phone, a tablet, and a handheld communication device.

### Claim 8 (depends on 7)

The method of claim 7, wherein said electronic device is configured to transmit said incoming notification to said wearable device.

### Claim 9

A wearable device for managing an incoming notification, the wearable device comprising:
a primary display;
a secondary display;
a strap extending from said primary display to said secondary display, wherein said strap is capable of being worn by a user; and
a controller module configured to:
receive said incoming notification from said electronic device;
display, on said secondary display, an indication of said incoming notification;
receive an input on said indication of said incoming notification displayed on said secondary display; and
perform, on said primary display, at least one action associated with said incoming notification based on said input.

### Claim 10 (depends on 9)

The wearable device of claim 9, wherein said incoming notification is classified as one of a private incoming notification and a public incoming notification based on at least one parameter.

### Claim 11 (depends on 10)

The wearable device of claim 10, wherein said at least one parameter comprises user context, nature of data, time of a day, a day of a month, a month of a year, an intent of a user, and electronic device context.

### Claim 12 (depends on 10)

The wearable device of claim 10, wherein said classification is performed by a controller unit of an electronic device, wherein said electronic device is one of a mobile device, a smart phone, a tablet, and a handheld communication device.

### Claim 13 (depends on 12)

The wearable device of claim 12, wherein said electronic device is configured to transmit said incoming notification to said wearable device.
