## Abstract

Methods and systems for notification management between an electronic device and a wearable electronic device are provided. First, the electronic device receives state information from a wearable electronic device via a wireless network, wherein at least one sensor detects a motion of the wearable electronic device to accordingly generate the state information. Then, a notification management process is performed between the electronic device and the wearable electronic device according to the state information.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A method for notification management between an electronic device and a wearable electronic device for use in an electronic device, comprising:
receiving state information from a wearable electronic device via a wireless network, wherein the wearable electronic device comprises at least one sensor for detecting a motion of the wearable electronic device to accordingly generate the state information; and
performing a notification management process between the electronic device and the wearable electronic device according to the state information,
wherein the state information comprises a first state and a second state, and the first state has a stop-notifying instruction and the second state has a resume-notifying instruction, when the electronic device receives the first state from the wearable electronic device, the electronic device stores the event, and directly generates a notification corresponding to the event via the electronic device, and the event is not transmitted to the wearable electronic device via the wireless network, when the electronic device receives the second state from the wearable electronic device, the electronic device transmits the stored event to the wearable electronic device via the wireless network, in which the at least one stored event is integrated into a notification to be transmitted to the wearable electronic device.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the notification management process comprises a step of determining whether to transmit a notification corresponding to at least one event to the wearable electronic device via the wireless network according to the state information by the electronic device.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the wearable electronic device comprises at least one sensor, and when data detected by the sensor indicates that the wearable electronic device does not substantially move in a predefined interval, the wearable electronic device generates the stop-notifying instruction.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, further comprising a step of when the electronic device does not receive the stop-notifying instruction, transmitting the event to the wearable electronic device via the wireless network once the event is received.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the wearable electronic device comprises at least one sensor, and when data detected by the sensor indicates that the wearable electronic device moves, the wearable electronic device generates the resume-notifying instruction.

### Claim 6

A system for notification management between an electronic device and a wearable electronic device, comprising:
a wearable electronic device comprising at least one sensor for detecting a motion of the wearable electronic device to accordingly generate state information; and
an electronic device receiving the state information from the wearable electronic device via a wireless network, and performing a notification management process between the electronic device and the wearable electronic device according to the state information,
wherein the state information comprises a first state and a second state, and the first state has a stop-notifying instruction and the second state has a resume-notifying instruction, when the electronic device receives the first state from the wearable electronic device, the electronic device stores the event, and directly generates a notification corresponding to the event via the electronic device, and the event is not transmitted to the wearable electronic device via the wireless network, when the electronic device receives the second state from the wearable electronic device, the electronic device transmits the stored event to the wearable electronic device via the wireless network, in which the at least one stored event is integrated into a notification to be transmitted to the wearable electronic device.

### Claim 7

A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium comprising a computer program, which, when executed, causes a device to perform a method for notification management between an electronic device and a wearable electronic device, wherein the method comprises:
receiving state information from a wearable electronic device via a wireless network, wherein the wearable electronic device comprises at least one sensor for detecting a motion of the wearable electronic device to accordingly generate the state information; and
performing a notification management process between the electronic device and the wearable electronic device according to the state information,
wherein the state information comprises a first state and a second state, and the first state has a stop-notifying instruction and the second state has a resume-notifying instruction, when the electronic device receives the first state from the wearable electronic device, the electronic device stores the event, and directly generates a notification corresponding to the event via the electronic device, and the event is not transmitted to the wearable electronic device via the wireless network, when the electronic device receives the second state from the wearable electronic device, the electronic device transmits the stored event to the wearable electronic device via the wireless network, in which the at least one stored event is integrated into a notification to be transmitted to the wearable electronic device.
