Device for rendering notifications, and a method of controlling the rendering device

Abstract

One embodiment is a device having an elongate pliable screen has first and second connection elements that connect together to hold, in a looped shape, a substrate carrying the screen, a receiver unit that receives notifications coming from an external appliance, and a control unit that causes received notifications to be rendered using a first rendering mode or a second rendering mode. The control unit detects the connection state of the first and second connection elements and causes a received notification to be rendered in the first or the second rendering mode as a function of the detected connection state between the connection elements. The first and second rendering modes may comprise respectively: displaying a symbolic or abridged picture indicative of the received notification, or displaying the content of a message conveyed by the received notification, depending on whether the first and second connection elements are connected together or disconnected.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
