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.
Claims18
A portable communication device comprising:
- a housing including a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface;
- a display disposed in the housing and visible through the first surface, the display including a first edge region and a second edge region facing each other in a first direction, and a third edge region and a fourth edge region facing each other 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;
- a communication circuit disposed in the housing;
- a processor disposed in the housing and configured to receive, using the communication circuit, a signal corresponding to a specified application from an external electronic device;
- and
- a display driver integrated circuit (DDI) configured to display a notification corresponding to the signal and including a content portion and a visual-effect portion, such that the content portion is displayed in an inner region of the display, and a first portion of the visual-effect portion is displayed along the first edge region, that a second portion of the visual-effect portion is displayed along at least part of the third edge region as extended from a first end of the first portion, and that a third portion of the visual-effect portion is displayed along at least part of the fourth edge region as extended from a second end of the first portion.
