[0002] An electronic device may include a touch-sensitive display. The electronic device may receive touch input through the touch-sensitive display. Based on the touch input to an executable object, the electronic device may execute a function corresponding to the executable object. The electronic device may display an Always-on Display (AoD) screen through the touch-sensitive display. The AoD screen may include an executable object for executing the function.

[0003] The above information may be provided as background art to aid in understanding the present disclosure.

[0004] No claim or determination is made as to whether any of the above is applicable as prior art to the present disclosure.

[0005] An electronic device is described. The electronic device may include a memory storing instructions and including one or more storage media. The electronic device may include a touch-sensitive display. The electronic device may include at least one processor including a processing circuit. The instructions, when individually or collectively executed by the at least one processor, may cause the electronic device to identify, through the touch-sensitive display, a user gesture for displaying a lock screen while the touch-sensitive display is in an off state. The instructions, when individually or collectively executed by the at least one processor, may cause the electronic device to disallow a touch input to at least one user interface (UI) object included within the lock screen while displaying the lock screen based on the user gesture identified as a single tap gesture. The instructions, when individually or collectively executed by the at least one processor, may cause the electronic device to apply a touch input to the at least one UI object while displaying the lock screen based on the user gesture identified as a double-tap gesture.

[0006] A method is provided. The method can be executed in an electronic device having a touch-sensitive display. The method can include an operation of identifying, through the touch-sensitive display, a user gesture for displaying a lock screen while the touch-sensitive display is in an off state. The method can include an operation of disabling a touch input to at least one user interface (UI) object included in the lock screen while displaying the lock screen based on the user gesture identified as a single-tap gesture. The method can include an operation of applying a touch input to at least one UI object while displaying the lock screen based on the user gesture identified as a double-tap gesture.

[0007] A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium is provided. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium may store one or more programs. The one or more programs may include instructions that, when executed by the electronic device, cause the electronic device to identify, through the touch-sensitive display, a user gesture for displaying a lock screen while the touch-sensitive display is in an off state. The one or more programs may include instructions that, when executed by the electronic device, cause the electronic device to disallow touch input to at least one user interface (UI) object included in the lock screen while displaying the lock screen based on the user gesture identified as a single-tap gesture. The one or more programs may include instructions that, when executed by the electronic device, cause the electronic device to authorize touch input to at least one UI object while displaying the lock screen based on the user gesture identified as a double-tap gesture.

[0014] FIG. 7 is a block diagram of an electronic device within a network environment according to various embodiments.

[0015] Figure 1 illustrates an example in which an electronic device performs a function differently from the user's intention.

[0016] The electronic device (100) can display an Always on Display (AoD) screen (e.g., the AoD screen (415) of FIG. 4b) via a touch-sensitive display (e.g., the touch-sensitive display (208) of FIG. 2). For example, the AoD screen can be described as a screen displayed while the touch-sensitive display is in a state for low power consumption. For example, the state for low power consumption can include a state in which at least one processor (e.g., at least one processor (207) of FIG. 2) is in a sleep state. For example, the state for low power consumption can indicate a state in which the touch-sensitive display operates at a minimum refresh rate while a visual object is displayed via the touch-sensitive display. For example, the electronic device (100) can display the AoD screen via a specific area that is part of a display area included in the touch-sensitive display. For example, an AoD screen displayed through the specific area (e.g., the AoD screen (415) of FIG. 4B) may be referred to as a legacy AoD screen. For example, the electronic device (100) may display the legacy AoD screen through a specific area included in the touch-sensitive display. For example, the electronic device (100) may reduce power consumption for displaying the AoD screen by displaying the AoD screen within a specific area included in the touch-sensitive display. For example, power consumption for displaying the AoD screen using the entire area of ​​the touch-sensitive display may be greater than power consumption for displaying the AoD screen using a specific area smaller than the entire area of ​​the touch-sensitive display.

[0017] Since the electronic device (100) displays the AoD screen for a long period of time, problems may occur. For example, the problems may include a burn-in phenomenon. For example, the burn-in phenomenon can be explained as a phenomenon in which an afterimage of pixels included in a display remains. The electronic device (100) may be required to prevent the burn-in phenomenon in order to maintain the quality of the screen displayed through the touch-sensitive display. For example, the electronic device (100) may prevent the burn-in phenomenon using a pixel shift technique. For example, the pixel shift technique can be explained as a technique in which a value (e.g., an RGB value or gray scale) expressed by a pixel for displaying a visual object is expressed by another pixel adjacent to the pixel. For example, the electronic device (100) may utilize a tiny processor to reduce power consumption for displaying the AoD screen. For example, at least one processor (e.g., at least one processor (207) of FIG. 2) may include the tiny processor. For example, the tiny processor may be described as a processor for displaying an AoD screen (e.g., the AoD screen (415) of FIG. 4B). For example, the electronic device (100) may lower the refresh rate of the touch-sensitive display while displaying the AoD screen. For example, the power consumed for displaying the screen at a first refresh rate may be greater than the power consumed for displaying the screen at a second refresh rate lower than the first refresh rate. For example, the electronic device (100) may determine a range of refresh rates that can be controlled according to the touch-sensitive display. For example, the electronic device (100) may determine a range of refresh rates that can be controlled according to the type of substrate of the touch-sensitive display.For example, the touch-sensitive display may include a substrate that can be implemented with HOP (Hybrid Oxide and Polycrystalline silicon). For example, the touch-sensitive display may include a substrate that can be implemented with LTPS (Low Temperature Polycrystalline Silicon). For example, the touch-sensitive display may include a substrate that can be implemented with LTPO (Low Temperature Polycrystalline Oxide).

[0018] The electronic device (100) can be moved by the user (120). For example, the user (120) can move the electronic device (100) by putting it in a pocket of the clothes worn by the user (120). For example, the state (150) can be described as the state of the electronic device (100) located in the pocket of the user (120). For example, the electronic device (100) can keep the touch-sensitive display (e.g., the touch-sensitive display (208) of FIG. 2) in an off state to reduce power consumption. The off state can correspond to a state in which the touch-sensitive display is turned off. For example, the screen (160) can be described as a screen in which the touch-sensitive display of the electronic device (100) is in an off state. For example, the electronic device (100) can display a black image through the touch-sensitive display. For example, displaying the black image through the touch sensitive display may indicate that the image displayed below the visual content for AoD displayed through the touch sensitive display is black while in a state for low power consumption.

[0019] The screen (170) may be described as a screen displayed based on an input received by the electronic device (100). For example, the electronic device (100) may receive an input while displaying the screen (160) through the touch-sensitive display. For example, the electronic device (100) may display the screen (170) through the touch-sensitive display based on the reception of the input. For example, the input may be independent of the intention of the user (120). For example, while the user (120) is moving, the electronic device (100) may receive an input regardless of the intention of the user (120). For example, the electronic device (100) may receive an input by the clothes of the user (120). For example, the electronic device (100) may receive an input by an object different from the electronic device (100) in the pocket of the user (120).

[0020] The screen (180) may be described as a screen in which a function is executed based on another input received while the screen (170) is displayed through the touch-sensitive display. For example, the electronic device (100) may execute a function based on receiving another input while the screen (170) is displayed through the touch-sensitive display. For example, the cause of the other input may be the same as the cause of the input. For example, since the electronic device (100) executes the function regardless of the user's (120) intention, power may be wasted. For example, while the electronic device (100) executes the function, the user (120) may not be aware that the function is being executed. It may be desirable to prevent the function from being executed regardless of the user's (120) intention.

[0021] For example, the electronic device (100) may display a lock screen (e.g., the lock screen (427) of FIG. 4A) via the touch-sensitive display. The lock screen may correspond to a screen that regulates access to the electronic device by requiring the user to perform a specific action, such as inputting a gesture or pressing a button. For example, while displaying the lock screen, the electronic device (100) may disallow touch inputs to UI objects included in the lock screen (e.g., at least one UI object (425) of FIG. 4A). The UI objects may correspond to interactive elements, such as buttons, menus, or icons on a user interface with which users can interact to perform tasks. For example, to reduce power consumption, the electronic device (100) may display the lock screen for a preset period of time. For example, the electronic device (100) may switch the screen displayed through the touch-sensitive display from a lock screen (e.g., the lock screen (427) of FIG. 4A) to an AoD screen (e.g., the AoD screen (415) of FIG. 4B) based on the elapse of a preset period of time. For example, the electronic device (100) may switch the screen displayed through the touch-sensitive display from a lock screen (e.g., the lock screen (427) of FIG. 4A) to a black image based on the elapse of a preset period of time. For example, the electronic device (100) may stop displaying the lock screen (e.g., the lock screen (427) of FIG. 4A) through the touch-sensitive display and switch the touch-sensitive display to an off state based on the elapse of a preset period of time. For example, by displaying the lock screen through the touch-sensitive display, the electronic device (100) may prevent the user (120) from executing a function based on an unintended input.For example, by displaying the lock screen through the touch-sensitive display, the electronic device (100) can reduce power consumption for executing functions not intended by the user (120).

[0022] For example, the electronic device (100) may include hardware components used to perform or execute the above operations. The hardware components are described and exemplified with reference to FIG. 2.

[0023] Figure 2 is a simplified block diagram of an exemplary electronic device.

[0024] Referring to FIG. 2, the electronic device (100) may include at least one processor (207), memory (206), and touch sensitive display (208).

[0025] At least one processor (207) may include a hardware component for processing data using instructions stored in the memory (206). The hardware component for processing data may include a central processing unit (CPU) (e.g., including processing circuitry). The hardware component for processing data may include a graphic processing unit (GPU) (e.g., including processing circuitry). The hardware component for processing data may include a display processing unit (DPU) (e.g., including processing circuitry). The hardware component for processing data may include a neural processing unit (NPU) (e.g., including processing circuitry).

[0026] At least one processor (207) may include one or more cores. For example, at least one processor (207) may have a multi-core processor structure such as a dual core, a quad core, or a hexa core.

[0027] The memory (206) may include hardware components for storing data and / or instructions input to and / or output from at least one processor (207). The memory (206) may include, for example, volatile memory such as random-access memory (RAM), and / or non-volatile memory such as read-only memory (ROM). The volatile memory may include, for example, at least one of dynamic RAM (DRAM), static RAM (SRAM), cache RAM, and pseudo SRAM (PSRAM). The non-volatile memory may include, for example, at least one of programmable ROM (PROM), erasable PROM (EPROM), electrically erasable PROM (EEPROM), flash memory, hard disk, compact disc, and embedded multimedia card (EMMC).

[0028] The touch-sensitive display (208) can output visualized information. For example, the touch-sensitive display (208) can output visualized information to the user under the control of at least one processor (207). The touch-sensitive display (208) may include hardware components of an electronic device (100) used to display a screen. For example, the touch-sensitive display (208) may include light-emitting elements and circuits (e.g., transistors) that control the light-emitting elements to emit light. For example, each of the light-emitting elements may include an organic light emitting diode (OLED) or a micro LED. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, the touch-sensitive display (208) may include a liquid crystal display (LCD).

[0029] The touch-sensitive display (208) may include a touch sensor (not shown). For example, the touch-sensitive display (208) may be used to detect a touch contact on the touch-sensitive display (208) via the touch sensor. For example, the touch-sensitive display (208) may be used to detect an electrical touch contact. For example, the touch-sensitive display (208) may be used to detect a physical touch contact.

[0030] At least one processor (207) can display an AoD screen (e.g., AoD screen (415) of FIG. 4b) through the touch-sensitive display (208). At least one processor (207) can identify a user gesture (e.g., user gesture (417) of FIG. 4a) for changing the AoD screen to a lock screen through the touch-sensitive display (208). For example, the touch-sensitive display (208) can be used to display the AoD screen. For example, the touch-sensitive display (208) can be used to identify the user gesture. For example, at least one processor (207) may disallow a touch input to at least one UI object (e.g., at least one UI object (425) of FIG. 4A) included in the lock screen while displaying a lock screen (e.g., the lock screen (427) of FIG. 4A) changed from the AoD screen based on the user gesture identified as a single tap gesture. For example, a single tap gesture may be described as a single touch input provided to an area on the touch sensitive display (208). For example, at least one processor (207) may allow a touch input to at least one UI object (425) while displaying a lock screen (e.g., the lock screen (437) of FIG. 4A) changed from the AoD screen based on the user gesture identified as a double tap gesture. For example, a double tap gesture may be described as a repetitive (e.g., double) touch input provided to an area on the touch sensitive display (208).

[0031] FIG. 3 is a flowchart illustrating the operation of an electronic device for authorizing or not authorizing a touch input to at least one UI object. This method may be executed by the electronic device (100) illustrated in FIG. 3 or by at least one processor (207) of the electronic device (100).

[0032] Referring to FIG. 3, in operation 310, at least one processor (207) may identify a user gesture (e.g., user gesture (417) of FIG. 4A) for displaying a lock screen (e.g., lock screen (427) or lock screen (437) of FIG. 4A) through the touch sensitive display (208) while the touch sensitive display (208) is in an off state. For example, the at least one processor (207) may receive a user input through the touch sensitive display (208). For example, the at least one processor (207) may receive a user gesture (e.g., user gesture (417) of FIG. 4A) through the touch sensitive display (208). For example, the user gesture may include a touch input.

[0033] At least one processor (207) may identify the user gesture through the touch-sensitive display (208) while the touch-sensitive display (208) is in an off state. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, at least one processor (207) may identify the user gesture through the touch-sensitive display (208) while displaying an AoD screen (e.g., AoD screen (415) of FIG. 4B).

[0034] In operation 320, at least one processor (207) may, while displaying a lock screen (e.g., the lock screen (427) of FIG. 4A) based on a user gesture identified as a single tap gesture (e.g., the user gesture (417) of FIG. 4A), disallow a touch input to at least one UI object (e.g., the at least one UI object (425) of FIG. 4A) included in the lock screen. For example, the single tap gesture may be described as a single touch input to the touch sensitive display (208). For example, the at least one processor (207) may, based on the user gesture identified as the single tap gesture, switch a state of the touch sensitive display (208) from an off state to an on state. For example, at least one processor (207) may display a lock screen (e.g., lock screen (427) of FIG. 4A) through the touch-sensitive display (208) based on the state of the touch-sensitive display (208) being switched from the off state to the on state. For example, the lock screen may include at least one UI object (e.g., at least one UI object (425) of FIG. 4A). For example, a user (120) may provide a touch input to the at least one UI object. For example, at least one processor (207) may disallow the touch input. For example, at least one processor (207) may refrain from, bypass, or block executing a function corresponding to at least one UI object (e.g., at least one UI object (425) of FIG. 4A) based on the touch input. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, at least one processor (207) may not recognize the touch input. For example, at least one processor (207) may cut off power to a touch sensor included in a touch sensitive display (208) while displaying the lock screen.For example, at least one processor (207) may ignore data regarding touch input received via the touch sensitive display (208) while displaying the lock screen.

[0035] At least one processor (207) may disallow a touch input to at least one UI object (e.g., at least one UI object (425) of FIG. 4A) while displaying the lock screen changed from the AoD screen based on the user gesture identified as the single-tap gesture. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, at least one processor (207) may display the lock screen (e.g., the lock screen (427) of FIG. 4A) based on the user gesture identified as the single-tap gesture while the touch-sensitive display (208) is in an off state. For example, at least one processor (207) may disallow a touch input to at least one UI object (e.g., at least one UI object (425) of FIG. 4A) included in the lock screen.

[0036] In operation 330, at least one processor (207) may apply a touch input to at least one UI object (e.g., at least one UI object (425) of FIG. 4A) while displaying a lock screen (e.g., the lock screen (437)) based on a user gesture identified as a double-tap gesture (e.g., the user gesture (417) of FIG. 4A). For example, the double-tap gesture may include repeated touch inputs to the touch-sensitive display (208). For example, the double-tap gesture may include two touch inputs to a reference area included in the touch-sensitive display (208). For example, the double-tap gesture may include a gesture in which two touch inputs are received to a reference area included in the touch-sensitive display (208) within a predefined time period (e.g., 0.5 seconds). For example, at least one processor (207) may receive or identify a user gesture (e.g., user gesture (417) of FIG. 4A) while the touch-sensitive display (208) is in an off state. For example, at least one processor (207) may identify that the user gesture represents a double-tap gesture. For example, at least one processor (207) may display a lock screen (e.g., lock screen (437) of FIG. 4A) based on the user gesture representing the double-tap gesture. For example, the lock screen may include at least one UI object (e.g., at least one UI object (425) of FIG. 4A). For example, the user (120) may provide a touch input to the at least one UI object. For example, at least one processor (207) may receive a touch input to the at least one UI object through the touch-sensitive display (208).For example, at least one processor (207) may execute a function corresponding to at least one UI object (e.g., at least one UI object (425) of FIG. 4A) based on the received touch input. For example, the at least one UI object may correspond to a preset software application. For example, at least one processor (207) may execute the preset software application based on receiving the touch input. For example, at least one processor (207) may execute a function corresponding to the preset software application based on receiving the touch input.

[0037] At least one processor (207) may apply a touch input to at least one UI object while displaying the lock screen changed from the AoD screen based on the user gesture identified as a double-tap gesture. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, at least one processor (207) may apply a touch input to at least one UI object (e.g., at least one UI object (425) of FIG. 4A) while displaying the lock screen (e.g., the lock screen (437) of FIG. 4A) based on the user gesture identified as a double-tap gesture (e.g., the user gesture (417) of FIG. 4A). For example, at least one processor (207) may identify a user gesture indicating a double-tap gesture (e.g., the user gesture (417) of FIG. 4A) while the touch-sensitive display (208) is in an off state. For example, at least one processor (207) may change the state of the touch-sensitive display (208) based on receiving the user gesture. For example, at least one processor (207) may change the state of the touch-sensitive display (208) from an off state to an on state based on receiving the user gesture. The switching of the screen and the acceptance or disapproval of the touch input are described and exemplified in more detail with reference to FIGS. 4A and 4B.

[0038] Figures 4a and 4b illustrate exemplary operations of an electronic device displaying a lock screen.

[0039] Referring to FIG. 4A, a state (400) may be described as a state in which a user gesture (417) is identified while the touch-sensitive display (208) is in an off state. For example, at least one processor (207) may receive or identify a user gesture (417) while the touch-sensitive display (208) is in an off state. For example, the user gesture (417) may include a touch input. For example, at least one processor (207) may identify a limited touch input while the touch-sensitive display (208) is in an off state. For example, the off state may include a state in which no visual object is displayed through the touch-sensitive display (208). For example, the off state may include an idle state or a standby state.

[0040] The state (420) may be described as a state in which a lock screen (427) is displayed through the touch-sensitive display (208). For example, at least one processor (207) may receive a user gesture (417) while the touch-sensitive display (208) is in an off state. For example, at least one processor (207) may identify that the user gesture (417) received while the touch-sensitive display (208) is in an off state represents a single tap gesture. For example, at least one processor (207) may switch the state of the touch-sensitive display (208) from the off state to the on state based on the user gesture (417) identified as the single tap gesture. For example, at least one processor (207) may display the lock screen (427) through the touch-sensitive display (208) based on switching the state of the touch-sensitive display (208) to the on state. For example, the lock screen (427) may include at least one UI object (425). For example, the at least one processor (207) may receive a touch input while displaying the lock screen (427) through the touch-sensitive display (208). For example, the touch input may include a touch input for at least one UI object (425). For example, the at least one processor (207) may disallow the touch input. For example, the at least one processor (207) may refrain from, bypass, or block executing a function corresponding to the at least one UI object (425) based on receiving the touch input. For example, the at least one processor (207) may not receive a touch input while displaying the lock screen (427).For example, at least one processor (207) can control a touch sensor included in a touch-sensitive display (208) not to acquire touch data while displaying a lock screen (427).

[0041] The state (430) may be described as a state in which a lock screen (437) is displayed through the touch-sensitive display (208). For example, at least one processor (207) may receive a user gesture (417) identified as a double-tap gesture while the touch-sensitive display (208) is in an off state. For example, at least one processor (207) may change the state of the touch-sensitive display (208) from an off state to an on state based on the user gesture (417) identified as a double-tap gesture. For example, at least one processor (207) may display a lock screen (437) through the touch-sensitive display (208) based on switching the state of the touch-sensitive display (208) to an on state. For example, at least one processor (207) may receive a touch input while displaying the lock screen (437) through the touch-sensitive display (208). For example, the touch input may include a touch input for at least one UI object (425) included in the lock screen (437). For example, at least one processor (207) may execute a function corresponding to at least one UI object (425) based on receiving a touch input for at least one UI object (425) while displaying the lock screen (437). For example, at least one processor (207) may execute a software application corresponding to at least one UI object (425) based on receiving a touch input for at least one UI object (425) while displaying the lock screen (437).

[0042] For example, the lock screen (427) and the lock screen (437) may be (substantially) the same screen. However, this is not limited thereto. For example, the lock screen (427) and the lock screen (437) may be similar screens. For example, a plurality of UI objects included in the lock screen (427) may be included in the lock screen (437). For example, the position at which at least one UI object (425) included in the lock screen (427) is displayed in the lock screen (427) may be (substantially) the same as the position at which it is displayed in the lock screen (437). For example, the brightness level for displaying the lock screen (427) through the touch-sensitive display (208) may be different from the brightness level for displaying the lock screen (437) through the touch-sensitive display (208). For example, the user (120) may distinguish the lock screen (427) and the lock screen (437) using the brightness level. For example, at least one processor (207) may display the lock screen (427) darker than the lock screen (437).

[0043] At least one processor (207) can switch the screen displayed on the touch-sensitive display (208) from the lock screen (427) to the lock screen (437). For example, the at least one processor (207) can receive another user gesture while displaying the lock screen (427). For example, the at least one processor (207) can identify another user gesture indicating a double-tap gesture while displaying the lock screen (427) on the touch-sensitive display (208). For example, the at least one processor (207) can switch from the lock screen (427) to the lock screen (437) based on receiving another user gesture identified as a double-tap gesture while displaying the lock screen (427). For example, at least one processor (207) may display a lock screen (437) by increasing the brightness level of the lock screen (427) based on receiving another user gesture identified as a double tap gesture while displaying the lock screen (427). For example, at least one processor (207) may apply a touch input to at least one UI object (425) based on identifying the other user gesture. For example, at least one processor (207) may receive a touch input to at least one UI object (425) while displaying the lock screen (437) through the touch-sensitive display (208). For example, at least one processor (207) may execute a function corresponding to at least one UI object (425) based on receiving the touch input.

[0044] At least one processor (207) may identify an event in which no touch input is received through the touch-sensitive display (208) while the lock screen (427) is displayed through the touch-sensitive display (208). For example, the at least one processor (207) may identify an event in which no user input is received while the lock screen (427) is displayed through the touch-sensitive display (208). For example, the at least one processor (207) may display a changed lock screen (427) from the AoD screen (415) for a preset period of time (e.g., 5 seconds) based on a user gesture (417) identified as a single tap gesture. For example, the at least one processor (207) may identify an event in which no touch input is received through the touch-sensitive display (208) during the preset period of time. For example, at least one processor (207) may switch the state of the touch sensitive display (208) from an on state to an off state based on identifying the event.

[0045] At least one processor (207) can display a lock screen (427) that is substantially the same as or similar to the lock screen (437) through the touch-sensitive display (208). For example, at least one processor (207) can operate in a doze mode while the touch-sensitive display (208) is in an off state. At least one processor (207) can maintain the doze mode while displaying the lock screen (427). For example, the doze mode can include a mode for reducing power consumption of the electronic device (100) by limiting functions executed in the electronic device (100). For example, at least one processor (207) can reduce background operations while operating in the doze mode. For example, at least one processor (207) can reduce network activity while operating in the doze mode. For example, the electronic device (100) may operate in a doze mode while displaying an AoD screen (e.g., AoD screen (415) of FIG. 4b) through the touch-sensitive display (208). For example, at least one processor (207) may operate in the doze mode while displaying a lock screen (427). For example, at least one processor (207) may receive a user gesture (417) identified as a single tap gesture while displaying the AoD screen. For example, at least one processor (207) may switch from an AoD screen operating in a doze mode (e.g., AoD screen (415) of FIG. 4b) to a lock screen (427) operating in a doze mode based on receiving a user gesture (417) identified as a single tap gesture. For example, at least one processor (207) may remain in doze mode when it receives a user gesture (417) identified as a single tap gesture.For example, at least one processor (207) may switch the screen displayed on the touch-sensitive display (208) from an AoD screen (e.g., the AoD screen (415) of FIG. 4B) to a lock screen (427) while maintaining the doze mode. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, at least one processor (207) may receive a user gesture (417) identified as a single tap gesture while the touch-sensitive display (208) is in an off state. For example, based on receiving the user gesture (417) identified as a single tap gesture, the at least one processor (207) may display the lock screen (427) on the touch-sensitive display (208) while maintaining the doze mode.

[0046] For example, at least one processor (207) may operate in a normal mode while displaying a lock screen (437). For example, the normal mode may include a mode without restrictions on network activity. For example, the normal mode may be referred to as a wake-up mode. For example, at least one processor (207) may switch the mode of the electronic device (100) from a doze mode to a normal mode when switching the screen displayed through the touch-sensitive display (208) from a lock screen (427) to a lock screen (437).

[0047] At least one processor (207) can set the refresh rate (unit: hertz [Hz]) of the lock screen (427) and the lock screen (437) to be the same. For example, at least one processor (207) can maintain a preset refresh rate (e.g., 60 Hz) while the screen displayed through the touch-sensitive display (208) is switched from the lock screen (427) to the lock screen (437). For example, since the electronic device (100) provides the same refresh rate in each of the lock screen (427) and the lock screen (437), the user (120) can perceive that the lock screen (427) has good visibility.

[0048] The electronic device (100) can display a lock screen (427) based on receiving a user gesture (417) identified as a single tap gesture while the touch-sensitive display (208) is in an off state. While the electronic device (100) displays the lock screen (427), since the electronic device (100) does not authorize a touch input for at least one UI object (425) included in the lock screen (427), the electronic device (100) can prevent a function from being executed based on a touch input that is unrelated to the intention of the user (120). For example, since the electronic device (100) does not authorize a touch input for at least one UI object (425) included in the lock screen (427), the function corresponding to the at least one UI object (425) can be prevented from being executed, thereby preventing waste of power. For example, since the electronic device (100) displays the lock screen (427) through the touch-sensitive display (208) for a preset period of time, the power consumed to display the lock screen (427) can be reduced. For example, the power consumed by the electronic device (100) to always display the lock screen (427) may be more than the power consumed by the electronic device (100) to display the lock screen (427) for a preset period of time. For example, since the lock screen (427) is (substantially) the same or similar to the lock screen (437), the user (120) can use a personalized lock screen. For example, the user (120) can set the lock screen (427) and the lock screen (437) according to the user's (120) preference. For example, the electronic device (100) may set a background screen or wallpaper for the lock screen (427) and the lock screen (437) based on the input of the user (120). For example, the electronic device (100) may set a UI object related to a function or software application to be included in the lock screen (427) and the lock screen (437) based on the input of the user (120).For example, the electronic device (100) may set the positions of the UI objects included in the lock screen (427) and the lock screen (437) based on the input of the user (120). For example, personalizing the AoD screen (e.g., the AoD screen (415) of FIG. 4B) may be restricted. For example, the electronic device (100) may be restricted from freely setting the AoD screen based on the input of the user (120). For example, the electronic device (100) may provide the AoD screen in a predetermined form to reduce power consumption.

[0049] Referring to FIG. 4B, state (410) may be described as a state in which a user gesture (417) is identified while the touch-sensitive display (208) is in a low-power display mode. For example, the low-power display mode may be referred to as a state for low power consumption. For example, at least one processor (207) may display a visual object (419) associated with the low-power display mode through the touch-sensitive display (208) while the touch-sensitive display (208) is in the low-power display mode. For example, at least one processor (207) may receive or identify a user gesture (417) while displaying an AoD screen (415) through the touch-sensitive display (208). For example, at least one processor (207) may receive or identify a user gesture (417) while displaying a visual object (419) through the touch-sensitive display (208). For example, the user gesture (417) may include a touch input.

[0050] The state (420) may be described as a state in which the lock screen (427) is displayed through the touch-sensitive display (208). For example, at least one processor (207) may receive a user gesture (417) while displaying an AoD screen (415) through the touch-sensitive display (208). For example, at least one processor (207) may receive a user gesture (417) while displaying a visual object (419) through the touch-sensitive display (208). For example, at least one processor (207) may identify that the user gesture (417) received while displaying the AoD screen (415) represents a single tap gesture. For example, at least one processor (207) may identify that the user gesture (417) received while displaying the visual object (419) represents a single tap gesture. For example, at least one processor (207) may switch the screen displayed through the touch-sensitive display (208) from the AoD screen (415) to the lock screen (427) based on a user gesture (417) identified as a single-tap gesture. For example, at least one processor (207) may stop displaying the visual object (419) and display the lock screen (427) through the touch-sensitive display (208) based on the user gesture (417) identified as a single-tap gesture. For example, the lock screen (427) may include at least one UI object (425). For example, while displaying the lock screen (427) through the touch-sensitive display (208), the at least one processor (207) may receive a touch input. For example, the touch input may include a touch input for at least one UI object (425). For example, at least one processor (207) may disallow the touch input.For example, at least one processor (207) may refrain from, bypass, or block executing a function corresponding to at least one UI object (425) based on receiving the touch input. For example, at least one processor (207) may not receive a touch input while displaying the lock screen (427). For example, at least one processor (207) may control a touch sensor included in a touch-sensitive display (208) not to acquire touch data while displaying the lock screen (427).

[0051] State (430) may be described as a state in which a lock screen (437) is displayed through the touch-sensitive display (208). For example, at least one processor (207) may receive a user gesture (417) identified as a double-tap gesture while displaying an AoD screen (415). For example, at least one processor (207) may display a visual object (419) through the touch-sensitive display (208) while the touch-sensitive display (208) is in a low-power display mode. For example, at least one processor (207) may receive a user gesture (417) identified as a double-tap gesture while displaying a visual object (419). For example, at least one processor (207) may change the screen displayed through the touch-sensitive display (208) from the AoD screen (415) to the lock screen (437) based on a user gesture (417) identified as a double-tap gesture. For example, at least one processor (207) may stop displaying the visual object (419) and display the lock screen (437) through the touch-sensitive display (208) based on a user gesture (417) identified as a double-tap gesture. For example, while displaying the lock screen (437) through the touch-sensitive display (208), the at least one processor (207) may receive a touch input. For example, the touch input may include a touch input for at least one UI object (425) included in the lock screen (437). For example, at least one processor (207) may execute a function corresponding to at least one UI object (425) based on receiving a touch input for at least one UI object (425) while displaying a lock screen (437).For example, at least one processor (207) may execute a software application corresponding to at least one UI object (425) based on receiving a touch input for at least one UI object (425) while displaying a lock screen (437).

[0052] For example, the lock screen (427) and the lock screen (437) may be (substantially) the same screen. However, this is not limited thereto. For example, the lock screen (427) and the lock screen (437) may be similar screens. For example, a plurality of UI objects included in the lock screen (427) may be included in the lock screen (437). For example, the position at which at least one UI object (425) included in the lock screen (427) is displayed in the lock screen (427) may be (substantially) the same as the position at which it is displayed in the lock screen (437). For example, the brightness level for displaying the lock screen (427) through the touch-sensitive display (208) may be different from the brightness level for displaying the lock screen (437) through the touch-sensitive display (208). For example, the user (120) may distinguish the lock screen (427) and the lock screen (437) using the brightness level. For example, at least one processor (207) may display the lock screen (427) darker than the lock screen (437).

[0053] At least one processor (207) may identify an event in which no touch input is received through the touch-sensitive display (208) while the lock screen (427) is displayed through the touch-sensitive display (208). For example, the at least one processor (207) may identify an event in which no user input is received while the lock screen (427) is displayed through the touch-sensitive display (208). For example, the at least one processor (207) may display a lock screen (427) changed from the AoD screen (415) for a preset period of time (e.g., 5 seconds) based on a user gesture (417) identified as a single tap gesture. For example, the at least one processor (207) may identify an event in which no touch input is received through the touch-sensitive display (208) while the lock screen (427) is displayed for the preset period of time. For example, at least one processor (207) may, based on identifying the event, switch the screen displayed through the touch-sensitive display (208) from the lock screen (427) to the AoD screen (415). For example, at least one processor (207) may, based on identifying the event, stop displaying the lock screen (427) and display a visual object (419). For example, at least one processor (207) may, based on identifying the event, stop displaying the lock screen (427) being displayed through the touch-sensitive display (208).

[0054] At least one processor (207) can display a lock screen (427) that is substantially the same as or similar to the lock screen (437) through the touch-sensitive display (208). For example, at least one processor (207) can operate in a doze mode while displaying the AoD screen (415). For example, at least one processor (207) can operate in the doze mode while displaying the visual object (419). At least one processor (207) can maintain the doze mode while displaying the lock screen (427). For example, the doze mode can include a mode for reducing power consumption of the electronic device (100) by limiting functions executed in the electronic device (100). For example, at least one processor (207) can reduce background operations while operating in the doze mode. For example, at least one processor (207) can reduce network activity while operating in the doze mode. For example, the electronic device (100) may operate in a doze mode while the touch-sensitive display (208) is in an off state. For example, at least one processor (207) may operate in the doze mode while displaying a lock screen (427). For example, at least one processor (207) may receive a user gesture (417) identified as a single tap gesture while displaying an AoD screen (415) or a visual object (419). For example, the at least one processor (207) may switch from the AoD screen (415) operating in the doze mode to the lock screen (427) operating in the doze mode based on receiving the user gesture (417) identified as a single tap gesture. For example, at least one processor (207) may stop displaying a visual object (419) operating in doze mode and display a lock screen (427) based on receiving a user gesture (417) identified as a single tap gesture.For example, at least one processor (207) may maintain the doze mode when receiving a user gesture (417) identified as a single tap gesture. For example, while maintaining the doze mode, at least one processor (207) may switch the screen displayed through the touch-sensitive display (208) from the AoD screen (415) to the lock screen (427).

[0055] At least one processor (207) may control a brightness level to highlight at least one UI object (425) included in the lock screen (427) while displaying the lock screen (427) through the touch-sensitive display (208). The highlighting of the at least one UI object (425) is described and illustrated in more detail with reference to FIGS. 5A to 5C.

[0056] FIGS. 5A to 5C illustrate exemplary operations of an electronic device that displays the brightness of at least one UI object differently.

[0057] Referring to FIG. 5A, state (510) may be described as a state of the lock screen before performing dimming. For example, at least one processor (207) may identify an event in which information about a software application corresponding to each of the UI objects included in the screen (515) is updated. For example, at least one processor (207) may identify an event for obtaining information about at least one UI object (425). For example, the screen (515) may include a plurality of UI objects including at least one UI object (425). For example, at least one processor (207) may obtain information about each of the plurality of UI objects included in the screen (515). For example, the obtained information may include information about the weather. For example, the obtained information may include information about a notification. For example, the obtained information may include information about a schedule. For example, the obtained information may include information about a shortcut object. For example, the acquired information may include information on the state of charge (SoC) of a rechargeable battery (not shown) included in the electronic device (100). For example, at least one processor (207) may use the acquired information to determine at least one UI object (425) to be highlighted among a plurality of UI objects. For example, at least one processor (207) may use the information indicating that the weather has changed to determine at least one UI object (425). For example, at least one processor (207) may use the information indicating that a new notification has been received to determine at least one UI object (425). For example, at least one processor (207) may use the information indicating that the SoC is below a threshold SoC to determine at least one UI object (425).For example, at least one processor (207) may determine at least one UI object (425) using the above information indicating that touch input for the shortcut object is not possible.

[0058] The state (520) can be described as a state in which dimming is applied to at least one UI object (425). For example, at least one processor (207) can apply dimming with a first dimming value to at least one UI object (425). For example, at least one processor (207) can display at least one UI object (425) at a first brightness level through the touch-sensitive display (208) by applying dimming with the first dimming value to at least one UI object (425). For example, at least one processor (207) can display at least one UI object (425) at a first brightness level while displaying a lock screen (427) by applying dimming with the first dimming value to at least one UI object (425). For example, at least one processor (207) can apply dimming with a second dimming value (e.g., 20%) that is smaller than the first dimming value (e.g., 60%) to the remaining UI objects that are different from at least one UI object (425) among the plurality of UI objects included in the screen (515). For example, at least one processor (207) can display the remaining UI objects at a second brightness level that is brighter than the first brightness level by applying dimming with the second dimming value to the remaining UI objects. For example, at least one processor (207) can display the screen (515) of the state (520) as a lock screen. For example, at least one processor (207) can change the displayed lock screen (427) to the screen (515) of the state (520) based on a user gesture (417) identified as a single tap gesture while the touch sensitive display (208) is in an off state. The technique of applying different dimming to each of the above UI objects can be described as software dimming.

[0059] Referring to FIG. 5B, at least one processor (207) can emphasize a UI object by applying less dimming to the UI object to be emphasized. For example, the state (530) can be described as a screen (525) to which dimming is applied. For example, at least one processor (207) can obtain information about each of a plurality of UI objects included in the screen (525). For example, at least one processor (207) can use the obtained information to determine another UI object (535) as the UI object to be emphasized.

[0060] State (540) can be described as a state in which less dimming is applied to other UI objects (535). For example, at least one processor (207) can apply dimming to other UI objects (535) with a third dimming value. For example, at least one processor (207) can apply dimming to UI objects that are different from other UI objects (535) among the plurality of UI objects with a fourth dimming value that is higher than the third dimming value. For example, at least one processor (207) can display other UI objects (535) at a third brightness level by applying dimming to each of the plurality of UI objects. For example, at least one processor (207) can display UI objects that are different from other UI objects (535) among the plurality of UI objects with a fourth brightness level that is lower than the third brightness level by applying dimming to each of the plurality of UI objects. For example, at least one processor (207) can display the screen (525) of the state (540) as a lock screen. For example, at least one processor (207) can change the displayed lock screen (427) to the screen (525) of the state (540) based on a user gesture (417) identified as a single tap gesture while the touch sensitive display (208) is in the off state.

[0061] Referring to FIG. 5C, states (550) and (560) can be described as states that perform hardware dimming. At least one processor (207) can lower the brightness level of the screen displayed through the touch-sensitive display (208) by performing hardware dimming. For example, at least one processor (207) can perform hardware dimming by controlling power provided to the touch-sensitive display (208). For example, at least one processor (207) can perform hardware dimming by controlling voltage applied to the touch-sensitive display (208). For example, at least one processor (207) can perform hardware dimming by controlling power provided to a backlight panel included in the touch-sensitive display (208). However, the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, at least one processor (207) can perform hardware dimming by controlling the time that the touch-sensitive display (208) is turned on. For example, at least one processor (207) can perform hardware dimming using a PWM (pulse width modulation) technique. The PWM technique can be described as a technique for performing hardware dimming by controlling the on and off times of the touch-sensitive display (208). For example, by performing hardware dimming, the electronic device (100) can reduce power consumption by the touch-sensitive display (208) compared to when performing software dimming.

[0062] At least one processor (207) can display a lock screen (427) with dimming applied to the lock screen (437) through the touch-sensitive display (208). The at least one processor (207) can stop applying dimming to the lock screen (427) based on the screen displayed through the touch-sensitive display (208) changing from the lock screen (427) to the lock screen (437). For example, the at least one processor (207) can stop applying dimming to the lock screen (427) to display the lock screen (437) at a brightness level brighter than the lock screen (427). For example, at least one processor (207) may display a lock screen (427) through a touch sensitive display (208) by stopping dimming the lock screen (427) based on identifying another user gesture identified as a double tap gesture, thereby displaying the lock screen (437).

[0063] At least one processor (207) may identify a swipe gesture while displaying the lock screen (427). For example, based on the identification of the swipe gesture, the at least one processor (207) may execute a function corresponding to the swipe gesture. The execution of the function is described and exemplified in more detail with reference to FIG. 6.

[0064] FIG. 6 illustrates an exemplary operation of an electronic device that executes a function based on identifying a swipe gesture.

[0065] Referring to FIG. 6, at least one processor (207) may execute a function based on identifying a preset swipe gesture (615). State (610) may be described as a state in which a swipe gesture (615) is identified while a lock screen (427) is displayed. For example, at least one processor (207) may identify a preset swipe gesture (615) while the lock screen (427) is displayed through a touch-sensitive display (208). For example, the preset swipe gesture (615) may include a swipe gesture in the shape of a V. For example, the preset swipe gesture (615) may include a swipe gesture in the shape of a circle (ㅇ). For example, the preset swipe gesture (615) may include a swipe gesture in the shape of the number three (3). For example, at least one processor (207) may identify a preset swipe gesture (615) while displaying a lock screen (427), even though it does not authorize a touch input for at least one UI object (425). For example, the preset swipe gesture (615) may include a more complex gesture than a single tap gesture. For example, because the preset swipe gesture (615) is a complex gesture, it may prevent a function corresponding to the swipe gesture (615) from being executed regardless of the intention of the user (120).

[0066] State (620) can be described as a state in which a function corresponding to a preset swipe gesture (615) is executed based on a preset swipe gesture (615). For example, at least one processor (207) can execute a function corresponding to a swipe gesture (615) based on a preset swipe gesture (615) identified while displaying a lock screen (427). For example, at least one processor (207) can execute a camera function based on identifying a preset swipe gesture (615). For example, at least one processor (207) can execute a software application for a camera based on identifying a preset swipe gesture (615). For example, at least one processor (207) can execute a software application for music based on identifying a preset swipe gesture (615).

[0067] FIG. 7 is a block diagram of an electronic device within a network environment according to various embodiments.

[0068] FIG. 7 is a block diagram of an electronic device (701) within a network environment (700) according to various embodiments. Referring to FIG. 7, in the network environment (700), the electronic device (701) may communicate with the electronic device (702) via a first network (798) (e.g., a short-range wireless communication network), or may communicate with at least one of the electronic device (704) or the server (708) via a second network (799) (e.g., a long-range wireless communication network). In one embodiment, the electronic device (701) may communicate with the electronic device (704) via the server (708). According to one embodiment, the electronic device (701) may include a processor (720), a memory (730), an input module (750), an audio output module (755), a display module (760), an audio module (770), a sensor module (776), an interface (777), a connection terminal (778), a haptic module (779), a camera module (780), a power management module (788), a battery (789), a communication module (790), a subscriber identification module (796), or an antenna module (797). In some embodiments, the electronic device (701) may omit at least one of these components (e.g., the connection terminal (778)), or may have one or more other components added. In some embodiments, some of these components (e.g., the sensor module (776), the camera module (780), or the antenna module (797)) may be integrated into one component (e.g., the display module (760)).

According to one embodiment, the communication module (790) may include a wireless communication module (792) (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 (794) (e.g., a local area network (LAN) communication module, or a power line communication module). Among these communication modules, a corresponding communication module can communicate with an external electronic device (704) via a first network (798) (e.g., a short-range communication network such as Bluetooth, wireless fidelity (WiFi) direct, or infrared data association (IrDA)) or a second network (799) (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 (792) can verify or authenticate the electronic device (701) within a communication network such as the first network (798) or the second network (799) by using subscriber information (e.g., an international mobile subscriber identity (IMSI)) stored in the subscriber identification module (796).

[0085] The wireless communication module (792) 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 communications (URLLC (ultra-reliable and low-latency communications)).

According to one embodiment, all or part of the operations executed in the electronic device (701) may be executed in one or more of the external electronic devices (702, 704, or 708). For example, when the electronic device (701) is to perform a certain function or service automatically or in response to a request from a user or another device, the electronic device (701) 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 part of the service.

[0090] An electronic device (e.g., electronic device (100)) as described above may include a memory (e.g., memory (206)) that stores instructions. The electronic device may include a touch-sensitive display (e.g., touch-sensitive display (208)). The electronic device may include at least one processor (e.g., at least one processor (207)). The instructions, when individually or collectively executed by the at least one processor, may cause the electronic device to identify, through the touch-sensitive display, a user gesture (e.g., user gesture (417)) for displaying a lock screen (e.g., lock screen (427) and lock screen (437)) while the touch-sensitive display is in an off state. The instructions, when individually or collectively executed by the at least one processor, may cause the electronic device to disallow a touch input to at least one user interface (UI) object (e.g., at least one UI object (425)) included in the lock screen while displaying the lock screen based on the user gesture identified as a single-tap gesture. The instructions, when individually or collectively executed by the at least one processor, may cause the electronic device to authorize a touch input to at least one UI object while displaying the lock screen based on the user gesture identified as a double-tap gesture.

[0091] For example, the lock screen may include a plurality of UI objects including the at least one UI object. The instructions, when individually or collectively executed by the at least one processor, may cause the electronic device to display the at least one UI object at a first brightness level based on an event that obtains information about the at least one UI object while displaying the lock screen based on the user gesture identified as the single tap gesture. The instructions, when individually or collectively executed by the at least one processor, may cause the electronic device to display the remaining UI objects among the plurality of UI objects, which are different from the at least one UI object, at a second brightness level brighter than the first brightness level while displaying the lock screen changed from the AoD screen based on the user gesture identified as the single tap gesture.

[0092] For example, the instructions, when individually or collectively executed by the at least one processor, may cause the electronic device to display the at least one UI object at the first brightness level by applying dimming to the at least one UI object based on the event of obtaining the information about the at least one UI object while displaying the lock screen based on the user gesture identified by the single tap gesture. The instructions, when individually or collectively executed by the at least one processor, may cause the electronic device to display the remaining UI objects at the second brightness level by applying dimming to the remaining UI objects at a second dimming value that is less than the first dimming value while displaying the lock screen changed from the AoD screen based on the user gesture identified by the single tap gesture.

[0093] For example, the instructions, when individually or collectively executed by the at least one processor, may cause the electronic device to display, through the touch-sensitive display, a visual object (e.g., visual object (419)) associated with the low-power display mode while the touch-sensitive display is in the low-power display mode. The instructions, when individually or collectively executed by the at least one processor, may cause the electronic device to identify, through the touch-sensitive display, the user gesture for displaying the lock screen while displaying the visual object. The instructions, when individually or collectively executed by the at least one processor, may cause the electronic device to disallow the touch input to the at least one UI object included within the lock screen while displaying the lock screen based on the user gesture identified as the single-tap gesture. The instructions, when individually or collectively executed by the at least one processor, may cause the electronic device to apply the touch input to the at least one UI object while displaying the lock screen based on the user gesture identified as the double-tap gesture.

[0094] For example, the instructions, when individually or collectively executed by the at least one processor, may cause the electronic device to identify, through the touch-sensitive display, another user gesture representing the double-tap gesture while displaying the lock screen based on the user gesture identified as the single-tap gesture. The instructions, when individually or collectively executed by the at least one processor, may cause the electronic device to apply the touch input to the at least one UI object based on identifying the other user gesture.

[0095] For example, the instructions, when individually or collectively executed by the at least one processor, may cause the electronic device to identify an event in which no touch input is received through the touch-sensitive display while displaying the lock screen for a preset period of time based on the user gesture identified as the single-tap gesture. The instructions, when individually or collectively executed by the at least one processor, may cause the electronic device to stop displaying the lock screen being displayed through the touch-sensitive display based on identifying the event.

[0096] For example, the instructions, when individually or collectively executed by the at least one processor, may cause the electronic device to identify a preset swipe gesture (e.g., swipe gesture (615)) via the touch-sensitive display while displaying the lock screen based on the user gesture identified as the single tap gesture. The instructions, when individually or collectively executed by the at least one processor, may cause the electronic device to execute a function corresponding to the preset swipe gesture based on identifying the preset swipe gesture.

The method may include an operation of disabling a touch input to at least one user interface (UI) object (e.g., at least one UI object (425)) included in the lock screen while displaying the lock screen based on the user gesture identified as a single-tap gesture. The method may include an operation of applying a touch input to at least one UI object while displaying the lock screen based on the user gesture identified as a double-tap gesture.

[0098] For example, the lock screen may include a plurality of UI objects including the at least one UI object. The method may include an operation of displaying the at least one UI object at a first brightness level based on an event that acquires information about the at least one UI object while displaying the lock screen based on the user gesture identified as the single tap gesture. The method may include an operation of displaying the remaining UI objects among the plurality of UI objects, the remaining UI objects being different from the at least one UI object, at a second brightness level brighter than the first brightness level while displaying the lock screen changed from the AoD screen based on the user gesture identified as the single tap gesture.

[0099] For example, the method may include an operation of displaying the at least one UI object at the first brightness level by applying dimming to the at least one UI object with a first dimming value based on the event of obtaining the information about the at least one UI object while displaying the lock screen based on the user gesture identified by the single tap gesture. The method may include an operation of displaying the remaining UI objects at the second brightness level by applying dimming to the remaining UI objects with a second dimming value less than the first dimming value while displaying the lock screen changed from the AoD screen based on the user gesture identified by the single tap gesture.

[0100] For example, the method may include an operation of displaying a visual object linked to a low-power display mode through the touch-sensitive display while the touch-sensitive display is in a low-power display mode. The method may include an operation of identifying, through the touch-sensitive display, a user gesture for displaying the lock screen while displaying the visual object. The method may include an operation of disabling the touch input to the at least one UI object included in the lock screen while displaying the lock screen based on the user gesture identified as the single-tap gesture. The method may include an operation of authorizing the touch input to the at least one UI object while displaying the lock screen based on the user gesture identified as the double-tap gesture.

[0101] For example, the method may include an operation of identifying, through the touch-sensitive display, another user gesture representing the double-tap gesture while displaying the lock screen based on the user gesture identified as the single-tap gesture. The method may include an operation of applying the touch input to the at least one UI object based on the identification of the other user gesture.

[0102] For example, the method may include an operation of identifying an event in which no touch input is received through the touch-sensitive display while the lock screen is displayed for a preset period of time based on the user gesture identified as the single-tap gesture. The method may include an operation of stopping displaying the lock screen being displayed through the touch-sensitive display based on identifying the event.

[0103] For example, the method may include an operation of identifying a preset swipe gesture (e.g., swipe gesture (615)) through the touch-sensitive display while displaying the lock screen based on the user gesture identified as the single tap gesture. The method may include an operation of executing a function corresponding to the preset swipe gesture based on the identification of the preset swipe gesture.

[0104] In a computer-readable storage medium having one or more programs stored thereon, as described above, the one or more programs may include instructions that, when executed by the electronic device, cause the electronic device to identify, through the touch-sensitive display (e.g., the touch-sensitive display (208)), a user gesture (e.g., the user gesture (417)) for displaying a lock screen (e.g., the lock screen (427) and the lock screen (437)) while the touch-sensitive display is in an off state. The one or more programs may include instructions that, when executed by the electronic device, cause the electronic device to not authorize a touch input to at least one user interface (UI) object (e.g., at least one UI object (425)) included in the lock screen while displaying the lock screen based on the user gesture identified as a single-tap gesture. The one or more programs may include instructions that, when executed by the electronic device, cause the electronic device to apply a touch input to the at least one UI object while displaying the lock screen based on the user gesture identified as a double-tap gesture.

[0105] For example, the lock screen may include a plurality of UI objects including the at least one UI object. The one or more programs may include instructions that, when executed by the electronic device, cause the electronic device to display the at least one UI object at a first brightness level based on an event that obtains information about the at least one UI object while displaying the lock screen based on the user gesture identified as the single tap gesture. The one or more programs may include instructions that, when executed by the electronic device, cause the electronic device to display the remaining UI objects among the plurality of UI objects, which are different from the at least one UI object, at a second brightness level that is brighter than the first brightness level while displaying the lock screen changed from the AoD screen based on the user gesture identified as the single tap gesture.

[0106] For example, the one or more programs may include instructions that, when executed by the electronic device, cause the electronic device to display the at least one UI object at the first brightness level by applying dimming to the at least one UI object based on the event of obtaining the information about the at least one UI object while displaying the lock screen based on the user gesture identified by the single tap gesture.
