The input may occur in a state in which the display window 10 is displayed on the display unit 140 of the terminal 100 as shown in the left figure of FIG. 5. The input may include at least one of a touch input and a drag input, and may be generated by a hand, a physical tool, a stylus pen, or the like. According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the input may be detected with respect to a status display bar for displaying the status of the terminal 100. For example, the input may be a touch and drag input to the status bar.

As the user input occurs, the notification window 20 according to the present invention is displayed. For example, when a touch and drag input occurs on the status bar while the display window 10 is displayed, the notification window 20 is displayed. According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the notification window 20 may be displayed according to a sliding effect in response to an input. For example, when the input includes a drag input, the notification window 20 may be displayed according to a sliding effect in response to the drag input. At this time, as the notification window 20 is displayed, the display window 10 moves and is displayed. That is, as the notification window 20 is displayed by sliding movement, the display window 10 is also displayed by sliding movement. In addition, only the content area 21 except the margin area 23 may be displayed in the entire area of the notification window 20.

In the state in which the display window 10 is displayed as shown in the left figure of FIG. 5, when a touch and drag input to the status display bar occurs, the notification window 20 may be displayed by slidingly moving from the status display bar. Referring to the center of FIG. 5, a portion of the content area 21 of the notification window 20 may be displayed in response to a user drag input.

A detailed description of displaying the notification window of FIG. 6 is as described above with reference to FIG. 5.

7 is a flowchart illustrating a method of displaying a notification window according to the present invention. Referring to FIG. 7, the method of displaying a notification window of the terminal 100 according to the present invention may be performed in the following order.

First, the controller 120 displays a display window (1100).

The controller 120 controls the display unit 140 to display the display window 10 on the display unit 140. The display unit 140 may display at least one of a standby screen, a lock screen, or an application driving screen on the display window 10 under the control of the controller 120. The display unit 140 may display the status display bar of the terminal 100 together with the display window 10 or as part of the display window 10.

Next, the controller 120 determines whether an input for displaying a notification window is detected (1200).

The input unit 110 detects a user's input through the display window 10. The input unit 110 may detect an input for displaying the notification window 20 through the display window 10. The input for displaying the notification window 20 may occur according to a touch input, a proximity input, a pressure input, or the like, and may be generated by a user's human body, a physical tool, a stylus pen, or the like. The input may be configured as at least one of a touch input and a drag input.

The input unit 110 may generate an input signal corresponding to the sensed input. The input signal may include information of the sensed input. The input unit 110 transmits an input signal to the controller 120, and the controller 130 may determine whether an input for displaying the notification window 20 is detected by analyzing the input signal.

When an input for displaying the notification window 20 is detected, the controller 120 may determine the content area 21 and the margin area 23 (1300).

The controller 120 may determine the content area 21 in which content exists and the blank area 23 in which content does not exist among the entire areas of the display window 10. Information about the content area 21 and the margin area 23 may be predetermined and stored in the storage 130 when the display window 10 is formed or updated. In this case, the controller 120 may obtain information about the content area 21 and the margin area 23 from the storage 130.

The content area 21 may include at least one content. The content may include icons, texts, images, and the like that constitute a quick setting screen, an event list, and a status bar included in the content area 21.

The content area 21 may include a quick setting screen 22 for a state in which the setting of the terminal 100 can be changed. The quick setting screen 22 allows a setting change for a simple state of the terminal 100 in a one-click operation. For example, the quick setting screen 22 may display icons, text, Images and the like.

The content area 21 may include an event list. The event list may include information on an unconfirmed event occurring in an application, a program, or a service provided by the terminal 100. The information about the event may include information about an application in which the event occurred, the content of the event, a time when the event occurred, and the like. The event list may be composed of icons, texts, images, etc. corresponding to the event, or may be composed of simple event contents.

The controller 120 may manage an event list. For example, when an unconfirmed event about an application, a program, or a service provided by the terminal 100 occurs, the controller 120 may update the event list by adding the generated event. Alternatively, when the unconfirmed event is confirmed by the user, the controller 120 may delete and update the confirmed event in the event list. As the event list is updated by the controller 120, the number of events may increase or decrease, and as a result, an area occupied by the event list in the content area 21 may increase or decrease.

The content area 21 may also include a status bar 22. The status display bar 22 may display the status of the terminal 100 as an icon, text, or the like. For example, the status display bar 22 may be configured as an icon representing the current time, battery level, sound / vibration mode status, and the like. In addition, the status display bar 22 may include text, an icon, etc. for notifying the unconfirmed event of the terminal 100. For example, the status display bar 22 may include an icon for notifying that an event such as an unidentified missed call, an incoming message, an incoming mail, a schedule, or the like has occurred. The event information constituting the status bar 22 may correspond to an unidentified event constituting the event list. According to implementation, the status bar 22 may be formed as a separate layer or a separate window from the notification window 20, and in this case, the notification window 20 may not include the status bar 22. have.

The blank area 23 may mean an area in which content is not included. The blank area 23 may be configured of a transparent layer that is substantially invisible to the user when the notification window is displayed on the display unit 140. Alternatively, the blank area 23 may be filled with a shading, fading, and inactivation effect to apply an image effect to a layer positioned at the bottom of the display window. The blank area 23 may not be present in the notification window 20 according to the number, size, etc. of the content constituting the content area. For example, when the number of unconfirmed events increases and the area where the event list is created exceeds the entire area of the notification window 20, the blank area 23 may not exist in the notification window 20.

Next, the controller 120 displays the content area 21 (1400).

The controller 120 controls the display unit 140 to display the content area 21 in response to the input. That is, the controller 120 may control the display unit 140 to display only the content area 21 except for the margin area 23 of the entire area of the notification window 20.

In an embodiment of the present disclosure, when the input is a touch and drag input, the controller 120 may display the notification window 20 according to the sliding effect in response to the drag input. The controller 120 may control the display unit 140 such that the notification window 20 is slidably moved according to the position of the drag input. In this case, the controller 120 may control the display unit 140 to display the notification window 20 while the input is maintained. In addition, in an embodiment of the present disclosure, when an input occurs with respect to the status bar, the controller 120 may cause the notification window 20 to slide and appear from the status bar.

Next, the controller 120 moves and displays the display window 10 (1500).

As the notification window 20 is displayed, the controller 120 controls the display unit 140 to move and display the display window 10.

In detail, the controller 120 may combine the blank area 23 of the notification window 20 with the display window 10 to move and display the notification window 20 and the display window 10 together.

As illustrated in FIG. 8, the controller 120 may form the notification window 20 in a virtual space adjacent to the display window 10. Next, when a user input for displaying the notification window 20 is detected, the blank area 23 may be combined with the display window 10. Accordingly, the content area 21 of the notification window 20 may be located adjacent to the display window 10. When the blank area 23 is formed to be transparent, the display of the display window 10 may not change due to the combination of the blank areas 23. When the blank area 23 is formed including a background screen, the notification window 20 is positioned at the bottom of the display window 10 such that the display window 10 is not changed by the combination of the blank areas 23. Can be. Next, the controller 120 may move and display the combined display window 10 and the notification window 20 together. The controller 120 may move the display window 10 and the notification window 20 together in a direction such that the notification window 20 is displayed on the screen. Accordingly, a part of the notification window 20 may be displayed on the display unit 140.

According to an implementation, instead of combining the blank area 23 and the display window 10, the controller 120 may resize the notice window 20 by removing the blank area 23 in the notification window 20.

When the notification window 20 is slidingly moved, the controller 120 may slide and display the display window 10 in response to the movement of the notification window 20.

In addition, the controller 120 may display the display window 10 according to the shadow, fade and inactive effects.

When the controller 120 controls the notification window 20 to be displayed while the input is maintained, the controller 120 may remove the notification window 20 on the display 140 according to the termination of the input. For example, the notification window 20 may be removed from the display unit 140 or maintained in the displayed state according to the position where the user input is terminated. For example, when the location where the user input is terminated is an area within a preset distance from the location where the input occurs (for example, the status display bar), the notification window 20 may be removed from the display unit 140. Alternatively, when the location where the user input is terminated is an area other than a preset distance from the location where the input occurs, the notification window 20 may be maintained in a state displayed on the display unit 140. In this case, the notification window 20 may be displayed for the entire content area 21. That is, even when a part of the content area 21 is displayed as shown in the center of FIG. 5 when the input is completed, the entire content area 21 may be displayed as shown in the right drawing of FIG. 5 after the input is completed.

When the notification window 20 is displayed by the sliding effect, the notification window 20 may be removed from the display unit 140 according to the sliding effect. Alternatively, the notification window 20 may be slid and moved after the input is completed to display the entire content area 21.

Next, the controller 120 determines whether an arbitrary event is selected (1600).

The controller 120 may determine whether any event is selected from the event list constituting the notification window 20. When the controller 120 detects a selection of an event from the input unit 110, the controller 120 may obtain information about the selected event from the storage 130.

When a certain event is selected, the controller 120 drives an application corresponding to the event (1700).

The controller 120 drives an application corresponding to the event based on the information about the selected event. In addition, the controller 120 may control the display unit 140 to display the content of the corresponding event. In this case, the display window 10 and the notification window 20 on the display unit 140 are removed.
