[0047] The power management module (188) can manage power supplied to the electronic device (101). According to one embodiment, the power management module (188) can be implemented as, for example, at least a part of a power management integrated circuit (PMIC).

[0048] A battery (189) may power at least one component of the electronic device (101). In one embodiment, the battery (189) may include, for example, a non-rechargeable primary battery, a rechargeable secondary battery, or a fuel cell.

[0049] The communication module (190) may support the establishment of a direct (e.g., wired) communication channel or a wireless communication channel between the electronic device (101) and an external electronic device (e.g., electronic device (102), electronic device (104), or server (108)), and the performance of communication through the established communication channel. The communication module (190) may operate independently from the processor (120) (e.g., application processor) and may include one or more communication processors that support direct (e.g., wired) communication or wireless communication. According to one embodiment, the communication module (190) may include a wireless communication module (192) (e.g., a cellular communication module, a short-range wireless communication module, or a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) communication module) or a wired communication module (194) (e.g., a local area network (LAN) communication module, or a power line communication module). Among these communication modules, the corresponding communication module can communicate with an external electronic device (104) via a first network (198) (e.g., a short-range communication network such as Bluetooth, wireless fidelity (WiFi) direct, or infrared data association (IrDA)) or a second network (199) (e.g., a long-range communication network such as a legacy cellular network, a 5G network, a next-generation communication network, the Internet, or a computer network (e.g., a LAN or WAN)). These various types of communication modules can be integrated into a single component (e.g., a single chip) or implemented as multiple separate components (e.g., multiple chips). The wireless communication module (192) can verify or authenticate the electronic device (101) within a communication network such as the first network (198) or the second network (199) by using subscriber information (e.g., an international mobile subscriber identity (IMSI)) stored in the subscriber identification module (196).

[0050] The wireless communication module (192) can support 5G networks and next-generation communication technologies following the 4G network, such as NR access technology (new radio access technology). The NR access technology can support high-speed transmission of high-capacity data (eMBB (enhanced mobile broadband)), minimization of terminal power and connection of multiple terminals (mMTC (massive machine type communications)), or high reliability and low latency (URLLC (ultra-reliable and low-latency communications)). The wireless communication module (192) can support, for example, a high-frequency band (e.g., mmWave band) to achieve a high data transmission rate. The wireless communication module (192) can support various technologies for securing performance in a high-frequency band, such as beamforming, massive multiple-input and multiple-output (MIMO), full dimensional MIMO (FD-MIMO), array antenna, analog beam-forming, or large scale antenna. The wireless communication module (192) can support various requirements specified in the electronic device (101), an external electronic device (e.g., the electronic device (104)), or a network system (e.g., the second network (199)). According to one embodiment, the wireless communication module (192) can support a peak data rate (e.g., 20 Gbps or more) for eMBB realization, a loss coverage (e.g., 164 dB or less) for mMTC realization, or a U-plane latency (e.g., 0.5 ms or less for downlink (DL) and uplink (UL), or 1 ms or less for round trip) for URLLC realization.

[0051] The antenna module (197) can transmit or receive signals or power to or from an external device (e.g., an external electronic device). In one embodiment, the antenna module (197) may include an antenna including a radiator formed of a conductor or a conductive pattern formed on a substrate (e.g., a PCB). In one embodiment, the antenna module (197) may include a plurality of antennas (e.g., an array antenna). In this case, at least one antenna suitable for a communication method used in a communication network, such as the first network (198) or the second network (199), may be selected from the plurality of antennas, for example, by the communication module (190). A signal or power may be transmitted or received between the communication module (190) and an external electronic device via the at least one selected antenna. In some embodiments, in addition to the radiator, another component (e.g., a radio frequency integrated circuit (RFIC)) may be additionally formed as a part of the antenna module (197).

[0052] In one embodiment, the antenna module (197) may form a mmWave antenna module. In one embodiment, the mmWave antenna module may include a printed circuit board, an RFIC disposed on or adjacent a first side (e.g., a bottom side) of the printed circuit board and capable of supporting a designated high-frequency band (e.g., a mmWave band), and a plurality of antennas (e.g., an array antenna) disposed on or adjacent a second side (e.g., a top side or a side side) of the printed circuit board and capable of transmitting or receiving signals in the designated high-frequency band.

[0053] At least some of the above components can be interconnected and exchange signals (e.g., commands or data) with each other via a communication method between peripheral devices (e.g., a bus, GPIO (general purpose input and output), SPI (serial peripheral interface), or MIPI (mobile industry processor interface)).

[0054] According to one embodiment, commands or data may be transmitted or received between the electronic device (101) and an external electronic device (104) via a server (108) connected to a second network (199). Each of the external electronic devices (102 or 104) may be the same or a different type of device as the electronic device (101). According to one embodiment, all or part of the operations executed in the electronic device (101) may be executed in one or more of the external electronic devices (102, 104, or 108). For example, when the electronic device (101) is to perform a certain function or service automatically or in response to a request from a user or another device, the electronic device (101) may, instead of or in addition to executing the function or service itself, request one or more external electronic devices to perform the function or at least a part of the service. One or more external electronic devices that receive the request may execute at least a portion of the requested function or service, or an additional function or service related to the request, and transmit the result of the execution to the electronic device (101). The electronic device (101) may process the result as is or additionally and provide it as at least a portion of a response to the request. For this purpose, cloud computing, distributed computing, mobile edge computing (MEC), or client-server computing technology may be used, for example. The electronic device (101) may provide an ultra-low latency service by using distributed computing or mobile edge computing, for example. In another embodiment, the external electronic device (104) may include an Internet of Things (IoT) device. The server (108) may be an intelligent server utilizing machine learning and / or a neural network. According to one embodiment, the external electronic device (104) or the server (108) may be included in the second network (199).The electronic device (101) can be applied to intelligent services (e.g., smart home, smart city, smart car, or healthcare) based on 5G communication technology and IoT-related technology.

[0055] FIG. 2 is a flowchart for explaining an alarm screen brightness adjustment operation of an electronic device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0056] Referring to FIG. 2, in operation 210, an electronic device (e.g., the electronic device (101) of FIG. 1 or the processor (120) of FIG. 1) may display an alarm screen on the display with a screen brightness lower than a first value based on the arrival of a set alarm time while the display (e.g., the display module (160) of FIG. 1) is operating in a low power mode. According to one embodiment, the alarm time may be set by a user input.

[0057] In one embodiment, the low-power mode may be a display inactive state or an AOD screen display state. In one embodiment, the electronic device may keep the display in low-power mode during sleep. In one embodiment, when the alarm time arrives, the electronic device may disable the display's low-power mode and display the alarm screen at a brightness level lower than the first level.

[0058] In one embodiment, the first value (or first brightness) for the screen brightness may be set to a lower brightness than the display brightness before entering low-power mode. In this way, the electronic device may, when providing an alarm, provide an alarm screen with a lower brightness than the set brightness from the low-power mode, thereby gradually waking up the user rather than abruptly waking them up. This may reduce the stimulation of the sympathetic nerves due to hormonal disruption and stress that occur when the user suddenly wakes up, thereby reducing bodily responses that have adverse health effects, such as increased blood pressure, increased heart rate, and increased blood sugar levels.

[0059] According to one embodiment, the operation of waking up the low power mode and displaying the alarm screen when the alarm time arrives while the display is in low power mode will be described in more detail with reference to FIG. 3 below.

[0060] In one embodiment, the alarm screen below the first brightness level may be a monochrome screen. For example, the alarm screen at the first brightness level may be a monochrome screen identical to the screen in low-power mode, or a monochrome screen having a brightness difference of less than a set range from the screen in low-power mode. In one embodiment, the color of the alarm screen below the first brightness level may change depending on the time of day and / or the location of the electronic device. For example, the color of the alarm screen below the first brightness level may be blue during dawn, yellow during the morning, or red during dusk.

[0061] According to one embodiment, the alarm screen of the first brightness may be a screen including multiple colors. According to one embodiment, the alarm screen of the first brightness may be a gradient screen in which the top color is the brightest and the brightness of the colors gradually darkens as they move toward the bottom. According to one embodiment, the alarm screen of the first brightness may be a gradient screen in which the top center color is the brightest and the brightness of the colors gradually darkens as they move away from the top center.

[0062] According to one embodiment, the brightness of an alarm screen including two or more colors may be determined as the brightest value or an average value within the alarm screen.

[0063] According to one embodiment, the alarm screen with multiple color gradients will be described in more detail with reference to FIGS. 4a and 4b below.

[0064] In one embodiment, the electronic device may display an alarm screen of a first brightness by gradually increasing the brightness of the dark screen in a low power mode for at least a portion of a first hour after the alarm time arrives.

[0065] In one embodiment, the electronic device may adjust the brightness of the alarm screen based on whether an alarm time is set through the wake-up alarm function or whether a wake-up alarm option is selected when setting the alarm time. In one embodiment, the electronic device may not adjust the brightness of the alarm screen when providing a general alarm other than a wake-up alarm.

[0066] For example, if a wake-up alarm is set through a screen associated with a sleep function (or sleep mode), the electronic device may adjust the brightness of the alarm screen when the alarm is provided. In one embodiment, if a wake-up alarm option is selected when setting an alarm through a screen associated with the alarm function, the electronic device may adjust the brightness of the alarm screen when the alarm is provided.

[0067] According to one embodiment, the operation of setting a weather alarm is described in more detail with reference to FIGS. 6, 7, and 9 below.

[0068] According to one embodiment, the electronic device may display a preview of an alarm screen through an alarm setting screen. For example, the preview of the alarm screen may be generated based on the display configuration. For example, if the electronic device is a foldable device in which the main display folds left and right and includes a cover display, or if the main display folds up and down and includes a cover display, the electronic device may display a preview of the alarm screen displayed on the main display and a preview of the alarm screen displayed on the cover display through the alarm setting screen.

[0069] According to one embodiment, the form of the alarm screen provided depending on the form of the display included in the electronic device will be described in more detail below with reference to FIG. 10.

[0070] According to one embodiment, the electronic device may output at least one of a vibration via a haptic actuator (e.g., a haptic module (179) of FIG. 1) or an alarm sound of a first volume via a speaker (e.g., an audio output module (155) of FIG. 1) while the alarm screen is displayed on the display at a brightness lower than the first level. According to one embodiment, whether to output only the vibration, only the alarm sound, or both the vibration and the alarm sound while the alarm screen is displayed on the display at a brightness lower than the first level may be set by a user input.

[0071] For example, the electronic device may output a vibration via a haptic actuator while the alarm screen is displayed on the display at a brightness level below the first level. In one embodiment, the electronic device may not output an alarm sound while the alarm screen is displayed on the display at a brightness level below the first level. For example, the electronic device may output a vibration of a first magnitude while the alarm screen is displayed on the display at a brightness level below the first level.

[0072] For example, the electronic device may output an alarm sound of a first volume through the speaker while the alarm screen is displayed on the display at a brightness level below the first level. In one embodiment, the electronic device may not output vibration while the alarm screen is displayed on the display at a brightness level below the first level.

[0073] For example, the electronic device may output a vibration of a first magnitude and an alarm sound of a first volume while the alarm screen is displayed on the display at a brightness lower than the first brightness.

[0074] According to one embodiment, at least one of the first brightness, the first vibration level, or the first alarm sound may be acquired so that the change in the user's blood pressure, heart rate, and blood sugar level after the arrival of the alarm time is less than a set value. For example, at least one of the first brightness, the first vibration level, or the first alarm sound may be within a range that does not stimulate the sympathetic nerve of the user in a sleeping state. According to one embodiment, at least one of the first brightness, the first vibration level, or the first alarm sound may be acquired through an experiment or data analysis. According to one embodiment, at least one of the first brightness, the first vibration level, or the first alarm sound may be set during the manufacturing of the electronic device or the development of the application.

[0075] According to one embodiment, the electronic device may check the brightness of the surrounding environment through a light sensor (e.g., the sensor module (176) of FIG. 1) based on the arrival of a set alarm time. According to one embodiment, the electronic device may determine the first brightness based on the brightness of the surrounding environment. For example, if the surrounding environment is dark when the alarm time arrives (e.g., blackout curtains), the electronic device may set the preset first brightness to be darker. According to one embodiment, if the surrounding environment is bright when the alarm time arrives (e.g., the user is sleeping with the lights on), the electronic device may set the preset first brightness to be brighter.

[0076] In one embodiment, the electronic device may determine the color of the alarm screen based on the time zone of the alarm time. For example, the electronic device may include a red light on the alarm screen if the set alarm time is in the early morning or the afternoon when the sunset is setting.

[0077] According to one embodiment, the operation of determining the color of the alarm screen based on the time zone of the alarm time will be described in more detail with reference to FIGS. 11 and 14 below.

[0078] In one embodiment, the electronic device may set the alarm screen to black and white mode based on user input. For example, the electronic device may allow selection of a theme (or mode) for the alarm screen through an alarm setting screen. In one embodiment, if a black and white mode (e.g., grayscale including gray) is set as the alarm screen theme by user input, the electronic device may display the alarm screen in black and white mode when the alarm time arrives.

[0079] According to one embodiment, the operation of adjusting the brightness of the alarm screen in black and white mode will be described in more detail with reference to FIG. 8 below.

[0080] In one embodiment, the electronic device may display an alarm screen based on weather information. For example, the electronic device may provide graphic effects (e.g., sunlight, clouds, rain, or snow) on the alarm screen based on weather information corresponding to the set alarm time and the location of the electronic device.

[0081] According to one embodiment, the operation of providing an alarm screen based on weather information will be described in more detail with reference to FIG. 12 below.

[0082] In one embodiment, the electronic device may set an alarm screen based on user input. For example, the electronic device may provide an alarm screen including an image or video selected by the user.

[0083] According to one embodiment, the electronic device customizes the alarm screen by user input, which is described in more detail below with reference to FIG. 13.

[0084] In one embodiment, in operation 220, the electronic device may display an alarm screen on the display at a second brightness greater than the first value based on whether a user input to dismiss the alarm is not received within a first time after the alarm time arrives.

[0085] In one embodiment, the first time may be set based on a history of times when the alarm was cleared after the alarm time arrived.

[0086] According to one embodiment, the first time period may be a period in which a first-level alarm is provided after the alarm time arrives, in which an alarm screen of less than a first brightness is displayed and vibration and / or an alarm sound of a first volume is output.

[0087] For example, the first time may be adjusted to be shorter than the preset first time based on history information indicating that the user of the electronic device dismissed the alarm before the preset first time. In one embodiment, the preset first time may be set during the manufacturing of the electronic device or during the development of the application. For example, the preset first time (e.g., approximately 4 seconds) may be set based on the alarm dismissal times of many users (e.g., approximately 5-8 seconds).

[0088] According to one embodiment, the electronic device may adjust the first time for providing the first alarm to be shorter (e.g., about 2 seconds) than the first time (e.g., about 4 seconds) based on the history information of alarm dismissal times of the user who dismissed the alarm before the first time (e.g., about 4 seconds).

[0089] In one embodiment, the first time may be adjusted to be longer than the preset first time based on history information indicating that the user has dismissed the alarm after the preset first time.

[0090] In one embodiment, the electronic device may adjust the first time for providing the first alarm to be longer (e.g., about 5-6 seconds) than the first time (e.g., about 4 seconds) based on the history information of alarm dismissal times of the user who dismisses the alarm after the first time (e.g., about 4 seconds).

[0091] According to one embodiment, the operation of adjusting the length of the first time for providing a first-stage alarm based on the history of the user's alarm dismissal times is described in more detail below with reference to FIG. 5.

[0092] In one embodiment, the electronic device may provide a second-level alarm that is stronger than the first-level alarm if no user input to dismiss the alarm is received within a first time after the alarm time arrives. For example, the second-level alarm may be a period in which an alarm screen with a first brightness level or higher (e.g., a second value) is displayed, and vibration and / or an alarm sound of a second volume level is output. In one embodiment, the second volume level may be stronger than the first volume level. In one embodiment, the magnitude of the vibration provided in the second-level alarm may be greater than or equal to the magnitude of the vibration provided in the first-level alarm.

[0093] According to one embodiment, the electronic device may adjust the brightness of the alarm screen by adjusting the brightness of the display, or may adjust the brightness of the alarm screen by changing the colors of the alarm screen. For example, the electronic device may uniformly increase the brightness of the entire area of ​​the alarm screen by adjusting the brightness of the display. According to one embodiment, the electronic device may increase the brightness of the alarm screen by changing the color values ​​so that the brightness of the entire area of ​​the alarm screen is increased, but at least some areas are the brightest. For example, the electronic device may display the alarm screen so that the top center of the alarm screen is the brightest color, and the brightness of the color gradually becomes darker as the area moves away from the top center. According to one embodiment, the brightness of the alarm screen may be determined as the brightest value or an average value within the alarm screen.

[0094] According to one embodiment, the operation of adjusting the brightness of the alarm screen in a gradient form will be described in more detail with reference to FIGS. 4a and 4b below.

[0095] In one embodiment, the electronic device may provide a second-level alarm that is more intense than the first-level alarm if no user input to dismiss the alarm is received within a first hour after the alarm time arrives.

[0096] According to one embodiment, the electronic device may display an alarm screen at a first brightness or higher if a user input to dismiss the alarm is not received within a first hour after the alarm time arrives. According to one embodiment, the electronic device may display the alarm screen at a first brightness or higher and a second brightness or lower for a second hour that provides a two-stage alarm. According to one embodiment, when the first hour arrives after the alarm time arrives, the electronic device may gradually increase the brightness of the alarm screen at the first brightness for at least a portion of the second hour and display the alarm screen at the second brightness.

[0097] By gradually increasing the brightness of the alarm screen in this way, you can expect a visual effect similar to natural light (or sunlight) and induce natural waking up.

[0098] In one embodiment, the electronic device may output at least one of a vibration via the haptic actuator or an alarm sound of a first volume via a speaker while the alarm screen is displayed on the display at a brightness level higher than the first brightness, if the electronic device only provides vibration via the haptic actuator while the alarm screen is displayed at a brightness level lower than the first brightness. In one embodiment, the magnitude of the vibration provided in the second-stage alarm may be greater than or equal to the magnitude of the vibration provided in the first-stage alarm.

[0099] In one embodiment, the electronic device may output an alarm sound of a second volume louder than the first volume through the speaker while the alarm screen is displayed on the display at a brightness higher than the first brightness (e.g., a second brightness), if the electronic device only provides an alarm sound of a first volume through the speaker while the alarm screen is displayed on the display at a brightness higher than the first brightness.

[0100] In one embodiment, the electronic device may output vibration or an alarm sound of a second volume while the alarm screen is displayed on the display at a brightness level higher than the first level, when vibration is provided through the haptic actuator and only an alarm sound of a first volume is provided through the speaker while the alarm screen is displayed at a brightness level lower than the first level. In one embodiment, the magnitude of the vibration provided in the second-stage alarm may be greater than or equal to the magnitude of the vibration provided in the first-stage alarm.

[0101] In one embodiment, at least one of the first brightness, vibration, first volume alarm sound, or second volume alarm sound may be obtained such that the change in the user's blood pressure, heart rate, and blood sugar level after the arrival of the alarm time is less than a set value.

[0102] For example, at least one of the change from the first brightness to the second brightness, the change from the first vibration level to the second vibration level, or the change from the first alarm sound to the second alarm sound may be within a range that does not stimulate the sympathetic nerves of a sleeping user. In one embodiment, at least one of the change from the first brightness to the second brightness, the change from the first vibration level to the second vibration level, or the change from the first alarm sound to the second alarm sound may be obtained by experiment or data analysis. In one embodiment, at least one of the change from the first brightness to the second brightness, the change from the first vibration level to the second vibration level, or the change from the first alarm sound to the second alarm sound may be set during the manufacturing of the electronic device or the development of the application.

[0103] In one embodiment, if the alarm screen is an image or video selected by user input, the electronic device may adjust the brightness of the alarm screen set by the user. The operation of adjusting the brightness of the alarm screen set by the user according to one embodiment will be described in more detail below with reference to FIG. 14.

[0104] In one embodiment, even if the color of the alarm screen containing an image or video selected by user input is determined based on the time zone of the alarm time, the brightness of the alarm screen can be adjusted to brighten over time from a dark screen after the alarm time arrives.

[0105] According to one embodiment, the electronic device can change the brightness of the alarm screen by adjusting the brightness of the colors of the alarm screen, even when the alarm screen is set to black and white mode, so that the screen becomes brighter over time after the alarm time arrives from a dark screen. According to one embodiment, the operation of adjusting the brightness when the alarm screen is in black and white mode will be described in more detail with reference to FIG. 8 below.

[0106] According to one embodiment, the electronic device can adjust the brightness of the alarm screen by interfacing with an external electronic device (e.g., a wearable electronic device such as a smart watch, a smart band, a smart ring, or smart glasses) connected via a communication circuit (e.g., a communication module (190) of FIG. 1).

[0107] According to one embodiment, the electronic device may output at least one of a vibration via a haptic actuator or an alarm sound via a speaker based on the arrival of a set alarm time. According to one embodiment, the external electronic device may output a vibration when the set alarm time arrives based on alarm information set in the external electronic device or an alarm provision command of the electronic device.

[0108] According to one embodiment, the electronic device may receive biometric information from an external electronic device connected via a communication circuit while outputting at least one of a vibration or an alarm sound. For example, the biometric information received from the external electronic device may include at least one of heart rate, blood pressure, and body temperature. According to one embodiment, the electronic device may also receive sensing data related to the movement of the external electronic device.

[0109] According to one embodiment, the external electronic device may determine the user's sleep or wakefulness based on the sensed biometric data and transmit the determination result to the electronic device.

[0110] In one embodiment, the electronic device can determine that the user is awake based on received biometric information.

[0111] According to one embodiment, the electronic device may determine the user's wake-up based on biometric information received from an external electronic device, or may determine the user's wake-up by receiving a message from the external electronic device notifying that the user has woken up.

[0112] In one embodiment, the electronic device may display an alarm screen on the display at a brightness level higher than the first hour before the alarm time based on the user waking up within the first hour after the alarm time. In one embodiment, the electronic device may output at least one of a vibration or an alarm sound corresponding to a second-level alarm while displaying the alarm screen at a brightness level higher than the first hour.

[0113] In this way, if the user wakes up first, an effective wake-up can be induced by providing an alarm for the next step.

[0114] In one embodiment, the electronic device may display an alarm screen on the display at a first brightness level or higher based on the user not waking up for a first period of time after the alarm time. In one embodiment, the electronic device may output at least one of a vibration or an alarm sound corresponding to a second-level alarm while displaying the alarm screen at a first brightness level or higher.

[0115] According to one embodiment, the operation of controlling the alarm screen through linkage with an external electronic device is described in more detail with reference to FIG. 16 below.

[0116] According to one embodiment, the electronic device can adjust the brightness of the alarm screen by interfacing with an external electronic device (e.g., an IoT device such as a curtain, blind, indoor light, or speaker) connected via a communication circuit.

[0117] In one embodiment, when a set alarm time arrives, the electronic device may transmit a control command to a connected external electronic device via a communication circuit. For example, if the external electronic device is a curtain and / or blind, the electronic device may transmit a command to open the curtain and / or blind to the external electronic device when the set alarm time arrives. In one embodiment, if the external electronic device is an indoor light, the electronic device may transmit a command to the external electronic device to turn the curtain and / or blind on at a brightness lower than a first level when the alarm time arrives.

[0118] In one embodiment, when an external electronic device, such as a curtain or blind, opens based on a command from the electronic device, the electronic device may adjust the brightness of the alarm screen based on the degree to which the curtain or blind is opened. For example, the electronic device may detect light based on the degree to which the curtain or blind is opened through a light sensor, or adjust the brightness of the alarm screen based on the curtain or blind opening control time.

[0119] In one embodiment, when an indoor light, which is an external electronic device, is turned on according to a command of the electronic device, the electronic device can detect light from the indoor light through a light sensor or adjust the brightness of the alarm screen based on brightness information included in the command transmitted to the external electronic device.

[0120] According to one embodiment, the operation of adjusting the brightness of the alarm screen based on the operation of an external electronic device after the arrival of a set alarm time is described in more detail below with reference to FIG. 17.

[0121] In one embodiment, if a user input to dismiss the alarm is not received within a second period of time during which a second-level notification is provided, the electronic device may provide a third-level alarm with a higher intensity than the second-level alarm for a third period of time. For example, the third-level alarm may be a period in which an alarm screen with a second brightness or higher is displayed, and vibration and / or an alarm sound of a third volume is output. In one embodiment, the third volume may be louder than the second volume. In one embodiment, the vibration level provided in the third-level alarm may be greater than or equal to the vibration level provided in the second-level alarm.

[0122] In one embodiment, the electronic device may repeatedly provide a second-stage alarm and a third-stage alarm if no user input to dismiss the alarm is received within a third time period during which the third-stage alarm is provided. In one embodiment, the electronic device may provide a bounce effect that repeats the second-stage alarm and the third-stage alarm until the alarm is dismissed, thereby waking the user up. In one embodiment, the electronic device may only repeat the brightness of the alarm screen between the second and third stages, while maintaining the vibration or alarm sound at the third stage.

[0123] According to one embodiment, the present disclosure describes that alarms are provided in three stages and with a bounce effect according to the intensity of the alarm, but this is not limited thereto, and the number of stages may be two or four or more, and the bounce effect may not be provided, or may be provided through repetition of three or more alarms.

[0124] Based on medical research showing that abrupt alarms during sleep can have negative health effects, the alarm background gradually brightens based on the user's reaction time, reducing the negative effects of alarms. Furthermore, by adjusting the alarm intensity based on the user's wake-up patterns, the system can provide a less stressful waking experience.

[0125] FIG. 3 is a drawing for explaining an alarm screen brightness adjustment operation of an electronic device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0126] Referring to FIG. 3, an electronic device (e.g., the electronic device (101) of FIG. 1 or the processor (120) of FIG. 1) may operate a display (e.g., the display module (160) of FIG. 1) in a low power mode (310) (e.g., an inactive state or an AOD screen). For example, the electronic device may operate the display in the low power mode (310) when in a sleep state. According to one embodiment, when the display is in the low power mode (310), at least a portion of the display may be in an inactive state.

[0127] In one embodiment, when the display is in low power mode (310) and the set alarm time (e.g., 7:00) arrives, the electronic device may provide a first-level alarm for a first period of time. For example, the electronic device may display an alarm screen (320) at a brightness level lower than a first level for the first period of time. In one embodiment, the first-level alarm may be targeted at users who can wake up with only vibration or a soft sound, and may provide a dark alarm screen.

[0128] In one embodiment, the alarm screen (320) below the first brightness may include a button (321) for disabling the alarm and a button (322) for outputting the alarm again (e.g., snooze) after a set time (e.g., 10 minutes) after stopping the alarm.

[0129] In one embodiment, the alarm screen (320) below the first brightness may be a monochrome screen. For example, the alarm screen (320) at the first brightness may be a monochrome screen identical to the screen in the low power mode (310) or a monochrome screen having a brightness difference of less than a set range from the brightness of the screen in the low power mode (310).

[0130] According to one embodiment, the alarm screen (320) below the first brightness may be a screen including multiple colors. According to one embodiment, the alarm screen (320) below the first brightness may be a gradient screen in which the top is the brightest color and the brightness of the colors sequentially darkens as it moves toward the bottom. According to one embodiment, the alarm screen (320) below the first brightness may be a gradient screen in which the top center is the brightest color and the brightness of the colors sequentially darkens as it moves away from the top center.

[0131] According to one embodiment, the electronic device may output vibration and / or an alarm sound of a first volume for a first time period. According to one embodiment, the first time period may be set based on a history of alarm dismissal times after the alarm time arrives. According to one embodiment, the operation of adjusting the first time period based on the user's alarm dismissal time history will be described in more detail below with reference to FIG. 5.

[0132] According to one embodiment, if a user input to dismiss the alarm is not received within a first time period after the alarm time arrives, the electronic device may provide a second-level alarm with a higher intensity than the first-level alarm for a second time period. For example, the second-level alarm may be a period in which an alarm screen (330) with a brightness greater than or equal to a first brightness and less than a second brightness is displayed, and vibration and / or an alarm sound of a second volume are output. According to one embodiment, the second volume may be greater than the first volume. According to one embodiment, the magnitude of the vibration provided in the second-level alarm may be greater than or equal to the magnitude of the vibration provided in the first-level alarm.

[0133] In one embodiment, the second stage alarm is targeted at users who cannot wake up in the first stage and require both a certain level of screen brightness and a certain level of sound, which may be a time period when a large number of users have a high alarm dismissal rate, and the screen may gradually begin to brighten.

[0134] According to one embodiment, the alarm screen (330) having a first brightness or higher and a second brightness or lower may be a screen including multiple colors. According to one embodiment, the alarm screen (330) having a first brightness or higher and a second brightness or lower may be a gradient screen in which the top is the brightest color and the brightness of the colors sequentially becomes darker as it goes toward the bottom. According to one embodiment, the alarm screen (330) having a first brightness or higher and a second brightness or lower may be a gradient screen in which the top center is the brightest color and the brightness of the colors sequentially becomes darker as it goes away from the top center. According to one embodiment, the alarm screen (330) having a first brightness or higher and a second brightness or lower may be brighter than the screen (320) having a first brightness or higher and a second brightness or lower.

[0135] In one embodiment, if a user input to dismiss the alarm is not received within a second period of time during which a second-level alarm is provided, the electronic device may provide a third-level alarm with a higher intensity than the second-level alarm for a third period of time. For example, the third-level alarm may be a period in which an alarm screen (340) of a second brightness or higher is displayed, and vibration and / or an alarm sound of a third volume is output. In one embodiment, the third volume may be louder than the second volume. In one embodiment, the magnitude of the vibration provided in the third-level alarm may be greater than or equal to the magnitude of the vibration provided in the second-level alarm.

[0136] In one embodiment, a three-stage alarm may be targeted at users who cannot wake up with a two-stage alarm and require both very bright light and loud sound to wake up, may be at times when the alarm has a high percentage of active functions that stop the alarm and make it ring again after a certain period of time (e.g., snooze), and may be provided with the brightest screen.

[0137] According to one embodiment, the alarm screen (340) having a brightness of the second or higher may be a screen including multiple colors. According to one embodiment, the alarm screen (340) having a brightness of the second or higher may be a gradient screen in which the top is the brightest color and the brightness of the colors gradually darkens as it goes toward the bottom. According to one embodiment, the alarm screen (340) having a brightness of the second or higher may be a gradient screen in which the top center is the brightest color and the brightness of the colors gradually darkens as it goes away from the top center. According to one embodiment, the alarm screen (340) having a brightness of the second or higher may be brighter than the screen (330) having a brightness of the first or higher and lower than the second brightness.

[0138] In one embodiment, if no user input to dismiss the alarm is received within a third time period during which a three-stage alarm is provided, the electronic device may provide a bounce effect that repeatedly changes the brightness of the alarm screen. For example, the electronic device may repeatedly display the two-stage alarm screen and the three-stage alarm screen, or may repeatedly provide slight changes in the brightness of the three-stage alarm screen.

[0139] FIG. 4A is a drawing for explaining the brightness adjustment operation of an alarm screen of an electronic device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0140] Referring to FIG. 4A, an electronic device (e.g., the electronic device (101) of FIG. 1 or the processor (120) of FIG. 1) can display a portion of a circle (410) with gradient colors on a display (e.g., the display module (160) of FIG. 1). For example, the diameter of the circle (410) can be twice the long length of the display. For example, the length of the center (411) of the circle (410) and the top (412) of the circle (410) or the length of the center (411) of the circle (410) and the bottom (413) of the circle (410) can be the long length of the display.

[0141] In one embodiment, the brightest color may be placed at the top (412) of a circle (410) in which colors are gradiented, and the darkest color may be placed at the bottom (413). For example, the color code placed at the top (412) of the circle (410) may be #FFF4E1, the color code placed at the center (411) of the circle (410) may be #6468D7, and the color code placed at the bottom (413) of the circle (410) may be #0A0B26.

[0142] According to one embodiment, the electronic device may change the coordinates at which the center (411) of a circle (410) is positioned on the display based on the brightness of the screen to be displayed on the display, as illustrated in FIG. 4B. For example, the coordinates at which the center (411) of the circle (410) is positioned on a center line dividing the display into left and right may be changed.

[0143] FIG. 4b is a drawing for explaining the brightness adjustment operation of an alarm screen of an electronic device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0144] Referring to FIG. 4B, in the first-stage alarm, the center (421) of the circle may be positioned outside the top of the display (420). For example, in the first-stage alarm, the x-coordinate of the center (421) of the circle may be 180 dp, and the y-coordinate may be -80 dp. According to one embodiment, the alarm screen (430) provided in the first-stage alarm may be a dark screen less than the first brightness. According to one embodiment, the alarm screen (430) provided in the first-stage alarm may be brightest at the top and darken toward the bottom, and the lower area of ​​the alarm screen (430) provided in the first-stage alarm that is not included in the circle may be black.

[0145] According to one embodiment, in the second-stage alarm, the center of the circle (422) may be positioned closer to the center of the display (420). For example, in the second-stage alarm, the x-coordinate of the center of the circle (422) may be 180 dp, and the y-coordinate may be 347 dp. According to one embodiment, the alarm screen (431) provided in the second-stage alarm may have the brightest color in the upper center, and the brightness of the color may sequentially become darker as it moves away from the upper center. According to one embodiment, the brightest color and the darkest color included in the alarm screen (431) provided in the second-stage alarm may be brighter than the brightest color and the darkest color included in the alarm screen (430) provided in the first-stage alarm.

[0146] According to one embodiment, in the three-stage alarm, the center of the circle (423) may be positioned closer to the bottom of the display (420). For example, in the three-stage alarm, the x-coordinate of the center of the circle (423) may be 180 dp, and the y-coordinate may be 748 dp. According to one embodiment, the alarm screen (432) provided in the three-stage alarm may have the brightest color in the top center, and the brightness of the color may sequentially become darker as it gets farther from the top center. According to one embodiment, the brightest color and the darkest color included in the alarm screen (432) provided in the three-stage alarm may be brighter than the brightest color and the darkest color included in the alarm screen (431) provided in the two-stage alarm.

[0147] In this way, the brightness of the alarm screen gradually increases, creating a visual effect similar to natural light (or sunlight), which can induce a natural awakening.

[0148] FIG. 5 is a drawing for explaining a brightness adjustment operation of a user-specific alarm screen of an electronic device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0149] Referring to FIG. 5, an electronic device (e.g., the electronic device (101) of FIG. 1 or the processor (120) of FIG. 1) can change the brightness of the alarm screen, the vibration intensity, and / or the sound volume in stages according to the alarm pattern.

[0150] According to one embodiment, the first alarm pattern (510) set during the manufacturing of the electronic device or the development of the application may be set based on the alarm release time history of multiple users. For example, the first alarm pattern (510) may provide a first-stage alarm for about 4 seconds, a second-stage alarm for about 3 seconds (up to about 7 seconds after the alarm is provided), and a third-stage alarm for a set time (e.g., about 3 seconds or up to about 10 seconds after the alarm is provided), but if the alarm is not released even after that, the second-stage alarm and the third-stage alarm may be provided repeatedly and infinitely until the alarm is released.

[0151] According to one embodiment, the first alarm pattern (510) may be changed based on the alarm dismissal time history of the user of the electronic device.

[0152] For example, an electronic device may provide a high-intensity alarm within a short time to users who are late to dismiss an alarm or who have a high rate of use of a function that resets the alarm after stopping it (e.g., snooze), and may provide a low-intensity, dark alarm screen to users who are quick to dismiss an alarm.

[0153] In one embodiment, a second alarm pattern (520) adjusted based on the alarm dismissal time history of a user who is very sensitive to sleep and can wake up within 2 seconds after the alarm is provided with only vibration or sound may be provided. If the alarm is not dismissed even after providing a level 1 alarm for about 2 seconds, a level 2 alarm for about 5 seconds (up to about 7 seconds after the alarm is provided), and a level 3 alarm for a set time (e.g., about 3 seconds or up to about 10 seconds after the alarm is provided), the level 2 alarm and the level 3 alarm may be provided repeatedly and infinitely until the alarm is dismissed.

[0154] In this way, the second alarm pattern (520) corresponding to a user who wakes up early has a 1st stage alarm provision time that is shorter than that of the 1st alarm pattern (510), and if the alarm is not released within 2 seconds, which is the average wake-up time, the 2nd stage alarm is provided immediately to induce the user to wake up.

[0155] In one embodiment, a third alarm pattern (530) is adjusted based on a user's alarm dismissal time history, which is about 5-6 seconds on average until the alarm is dismissed, and which is not possible to wake up with sound alone, but can wake up with a single quick alarm dismissal, and which occasionally uses a function to stop and reset the alarm (e.g., snooze), and which provides a level 1 alarm for about 6 seconds, a level 2 alarm for about 3 seconds (up to about 9 seconds after the alarm is provided), and a level 3 alarm for a set time (e.g., about 3 seconds or up to about 12 seconds after the alarm is provided), and if the alarm is not dismissed after that, the level 2 alarm and the level 3 alarm may be repeatedly provided indefinitely until the alarm is dismissed.

[0156] In this way, the third alarm pattern (530), which corresponds to a user who cannot wake up with sound alone but can quickly wake up with one alarm dismissal, has a first-stage alarm provision time that is longer than that of the first alarm pattern (510), and if the alarm is not dismissed within 6 seconds, which is the average wake-up time, a second-stage alarm is provided to induce the user to wake up.

[0157] In one embodiment, a fourth alarm pattern (540) adjusted based on the alarm dismissal time history of a user who has difficulty waking up from sleep and uses the function of resetting the alarm after stopping it three times on average may be provided such that if the alarm is not dismissed even after providing a level 1 alarm for about 5 seconds, a level 2 alarm for about 5 seconds (up to about 10 seconds after the alarm is provided), and a level 3 alarm for a set time (e.g., about 5 seconds or up to about 15 seconds after the alarm is provided), the level 2 alarm and the level 3 alarm may be provided repeatedly and infinitely until the alarm is dismissed.

[0158] In this way, the fourth alarm pattern (540), which corresponds to a user who has difficulty waking up from sleep and uses the function of resetting the alarm after stopping it three times on average, provides the second-stage alarm more quickly than the third alarm pattern (530), and provides the alarm for each stage for a longer time, thereby inducing the user to gradually wake up.
