The communication module (190) may include one or more communication processors that operate independently of the processor (120) (e.g., application processor) and 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., cellular communication module, short-range wireless communication module, or GNSS (global navigation satellite system) communication module) or a wired communication module (194) (e.g., LAN (local area network) communication module, or power line communication module). The corresponding communication module among these communication modules can communicate with an external electronic device (104) through a first network (198) (e.g., a short-range communication network such as Bluetooth, WiFi (wireless fidelity) direct, or IrDA (infrared data association)) or a second network (199) (e.g., 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 may 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 identify or authenticate the electronic device (101) within a communication network such as the first network (198) or the second network (199) using subscriber information (e.g., International Mobile Subscriber Identifier (IMSI)) stored in the subscriber identification module (196).

[0058] The wireless communication module (192) can support 5G networks and next-generation communication technologies following 4G networks, for example, new radio access technology. NR access technology can support high-speed transmission of high-capacity data (enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB)), minimization of terminal power and connection of multiple terminals (massive machine type communications (mMTC)), or high reliability and low latency (ultra-reliable and low-latency communications (URLLC)). The wireless communication module (192) can support a high-frequency band (e.g., mmWave band) to achieve a high data transmission rate, for example. The wireless communication module (192) can support various technologies for securing performance in the high-frequency band, such as beamforming, massive MIMO (multiple-input and multiple-output), 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), external electronic device (e.g., electronic device (104)), or network system (e.g., 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 realizing eMBB, loss coverage (e.g., 664 dB or less) for realizing mMTC, or U-plane latency (e.g., downlink (DL) and uplink (UL) each 0.5 ms or less, or round trip 6 ms or less) for realizing URLLC.

[0059] An antenna module (197) can transmit a signal or power to or from an external source (e.g., an external electronic device).

According to 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 a first network (198) or a second network (199), may be selected from the plurality of antennas, for example, by a communication module (190). A signal or power may be transmitted or received between the communication module (190) and an external electronic device through the selected at least one antenna. According to some embodiments, in addition to the radiator, other components (e.g., a radio frequency integrated circuit (RFIC)) may be additionally formed as part of the antenna module (197).

[0060] According to various embodiments, the antenna module (197) may form a mmWave antenna module. According to one embodiment, the mmWave antenna module may include a printed circuit board, an RFIC disposed on or adjacent to a first surface (e.g., bottom surface) of the printed circuit board and capable of supporting a specified high frequency band (e.g., mmWave band), and a plurality of antennas (e.g., array antennas) disposed on or adjacent to a second surface (e.g., top surface or side surface) of the printed circuit board and capable of transmitting or receiving a signal of the specified high frequency band.

[0061] At least some of the above components can be connected to each other via a communication method between peripheral devices (e.g., bus, GPIO (general purpose input and output), SPI (serial peripheral interface), or MIPI (mobile industry processor interface)) and exchange signals (e.g., commands or data) with each other.

[0062] According to one embodiment, commands or data may be transmitted or received between the electronic device (101) and an external electronic device (104) through a server (108) connected to a second network (199). Each of the external electronic devices (102, or 104) may be the same or different type of device as the electronic device (101). According to one embodiment, all or part of the operations performed on the electronic device (101) may be performed on one or more of the external electronic devices (102, 104, or 108). For example, if the electronic device (101) needs to perform a function or service automatically or in response to a request from a user or another device, the electronic device (101) may request one or more external electronic devices to perform at least part of the function or service instead of performing the function or service itself or additionally.

According to one embodiment, the external electronic device (104) or the server (108) may be included within 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.

[0063] FIGS. 2a to 2d illustrate a lock screen displayed by an electronic device according to one embodiment.

[0064] FIGS. 2a to 2d can be explained with reference to FIG. 1.

[0065] Referring to the state (201) of FIG. 2a, the electronic device (101) may display a lock screen in a locked state through a display (260) (e.g., the display module (160) of FIG. 1). In one embodiment, the locked state may be a state in which access to the electronic device (101) is restricted. In one embodiment, restricted access to the electronic device (101) may include restricting the execution of applications other than allowed applications. In one embodiment, restricted access to the electronic device (101) may include restricting the display of information other than allowed information. In one embodiment, the lock screen may refer to a screen displayed on the display (260) in a locked state.

[0066] Referring to the state (201) of FIG. 2a, the lock screen may include a background area (210). In one embodiment, a wallpaper (or background image) may be displayed in the background area (210). In one embodiment, the wallpaper displayed in the background area (210) of the lock screen may be a pre-specified image. In one embodiment, the wallpaper displayed in the background area (210) of the lock screen may be an image that changes according to the state of the electronic device (101). In one embodiment, the background area (210) may display a visual object (211) (e.g., a lock image) indicating a lock state and / or a visual object (213) (e.g., a fingerprint image) indicating an input area (or an area where a sensor module (176) (e.g., a biometric sensor, a fingerprint sensor) is located) for obtaining input for unlocking the lock state.

[0067] In one embodiment, the lock screen may include a first icon area (230) and a second icon area (240). In one embodiment, icons of applications may be displayed in the first icon area (230) and the second icon area (240).

[0068] In one embodiment, the electronic device (101) can display a widget based on a notification (or event) on the lock screen.

[0069] Referring to the state (202) of FIG. 2a, the electronic device (101) may display a widget in the widget area (220). In one embodiment, the widget area (220) may display a widget for displaying notifications (or information) related to an application. In one embodiment, the widget area (220) may display a widget for displaying information (or notifications) generated by an application running (in the background). In one embodiment, the widget may be classified into an information widget, a management widget, or a hybrid widget for information and management. In one embodiment, the information widget may display information elements (e.g., current weather, information on the currently playing song, step count, exercise time) provided by the application associated with the widget. In one embodiment, the management widget may display function elements (e.g., play next song, pause, answer call, hang up call) provided by the application associated with the widget. For example, the electronic device (101) can control some functions of an application associated with the widget in response to a selection of functional elements provided by the management widget. In one embodiment, the hybrid widget can display information elements and functional elements provided by the application associated with the widget. For example, the widget may be referred to as a mini-application for the application associated with the widget.

[0070] For example, a widget may include one or more objects to display information (or notifications) generated by an application. For example, one or more objects may include images and / or text.

[0071] In one embodiment, the widget area (220) may be located at a designated location on the lock screen. For example, the widget area (220) may be located between the first icon area (230) and the second icon area (240). For example, the distance between the widget area (220) and the first icon area (230) may be the same as the distance between the widget area (220) and the second icon area (240). In one embodiment, the widget area (220) may be located below the visual object (213) (or input area). In one embodiment, the widget area (220) may be located so as not to overlap with the visual object (213) (or input area).

[0072] In one embodiment, the horizontal line connecting the center of the widget area (220) may be the same as the horizontal line connecting the center of the first icon area (230). In one embodiment, the widget area (220) may have a longer length in the height direction than the first icon area (230). For example, as transitioning from state (201) to state (202), the length in the height direction of the first icon area (230) decreases, and accordingly, the length in the height direction of the widget area (220) may be longer than the length in the height direction of the first icon area (230).

[0073] In one embodiment, the horizontal line connecting the center of the widget area (220) may be the same as the horizontal line connecting the center of the second icon area (240). In one embodiment, the widget area (220) may have a longer length in the height direction than the second icon area (240). For example, as transitioning from state (201) to state (202), the length in the height direction of the second icon area (240) decreases, and accordingly, the length in the height direction of the widget area (220) may be longer than the length in the height direction of the second icon area (240).

[0074] In one embodiment, the widget area (220) may be located in a relatively lower part of the lock screen. For example, interactive objects displayed on the lock screen (e.g., icon areas (230, 240)) and / or information elements (e.g., weather) may be located at least on the same line as the widget area (220). For example, areas where interactive objects displayed on the lock screen (e.g., icon areas (230, 240)) and / or information elements (e.g., weather) may be displayed on a horizontal line connecting the center of the widget area (220). For example, areas where interactive objects displayed on the lock screen (e.g., icon areas (230, 240)) and / or information elements (e.g., weather) may not be displayed on the lower part of the horizontal line connecting the center of the widget area (220). However, this is not limited thereto.

[0075] In one embodiment, the widget area (220) may be located in a relatively central part of the lock screen. For example, the widget area (220) may be positioned with respect to a vertical line connecting the center of the lock screen. For example, the widget area (220) may be positioned such that the area to the left of the vertical line and the area to the right of the vertical line are identical. However, it is not limited thereto.

[0076] In one embodiment, the electronic device (101) can change the widget area (220) and / or icon areas (230, 240) displayed on the lock screen based on a notification (or event).

[0077] In one embodiment, the electronic device (101) may display an indicator (221) (or hint) indicating that there are more widgets displaying additional notifications based on the fact that there are two or more applications generating notifications (or events). The indicator (221) (or hint) may indicate that there are other widgets in the next layer of the widget displayed in the widget area (220).

[0078] For example, in the state (202) of FIG. 2a, the electronic device (101) may display another widget in the widget area (220) instead of the widget based on an up or down swipe input (or, drag input) for the widget placed in the widget area (220). For example, the electronic device (101) may display a widget following the widget displayed in the widget area (220) in the widget area (220) based on an up or down swipe input (or, drag input) for the widget placed in the widget area (220). For example, in the state (202) of FIG. 2a, the electronic device (101) may display another widget on top of the widget instead of the widget based on an up or down swipe input (or, drag input) for the widget placed in the widget area (220).

[0079] For example, in the state (202) of FIG. 2a, the electronic device (101) may stop displaying the widget based on a swipe input (or drag input) in the left or right direction for the widget placed in the widget area (220). For example, if there is no widget following the widget displayed in the widget area (220), the electronic device (101) may transition to a state (201) in which the widget is not displayed in the widget area (220). In one embodiment, the electronic device (101) may stop displaying the widget through an animation effect in which the widget disappears based on the decision not to display the widget. According to an embodiment, in the state (201) of FIG. 2a, the electronic device (101) may display the widget that was stopped in the widget area (220) again based on a tap input (or double tap input) for the widget area (220). In one embodiment, the electronic device (101) can redisplay the widget through an animation effect in which the widget appears, based on a decision to redisplay the widget.

[0080] In one embodiment, in the state (201) of FIG. 2a, the electronic device (101) may display a widget of a specified application in the widget area (220) based on a tap input (or double tap input) for the widget area (220).

[0085] In one embodiment, the gap between the first icon area (230) and the second icon area (240) within the lock screen displayed in the state (204) of FIG. 2b may be longer than the gap between the first icon area (230) and the second icon area (240) within the lock screen displayed in the state (201) of FIG. 2a. However, the embodiment is not limited thereto. In one embodiment, the gap between the first icon area (230) and the second icon area (240) within the lock screen displayed in the state (204) of FIG. 2b may be the same as the gap between the first icon area (230) and the second icon area (240) within the lock screen displayed in the state (201) of FIG. 2a.

[0086] In the state (205) of FIG. 2b, the electronic device (101) can display a widget in the widget area (220). In one embodiment, the widget area (220) in the state (205) of FIG. 2b may have the same size as the widget area (220) in the state (202) of FIG. 2a. However, the embodiment is not limited thereto. For example, the horizontal length of the widget area (220) in the state (205) of FIG. 2b may be longer than the horizontal length of the widget area (220) in the state (202) of FIG. 2a.

[0087] For example, in the state (205) of FIG. 2b, the electronic device (101) may stop displaying the widget based on a swipe input (or drag input) for the widget placed in the widget area (220). For example, if there is no widget following the widget displayed in the widget area (220), the electronic device (101) may transition to a state (204) in which the widget is not displayed in the widget area (220). In one embodiment, the electronic device (101) may stop displaying the widget through an animation effect in which the widget disappears based on the decision not to display the widget. According to an embodiment, in the state (204) of FIG. 2b, the electronic device (101) may display the widget that was stopped in the widget area (220) again based on a tap input (or double tap input) for the widget area (220). In one embodiment, the electronic device (101) can redisplay the widget through an animation effect in which the widget appears, based on a decision to redisplay the widget.

[0088] For example, in state (205) of FIG. 2b, the electronic device (101) may display a widget in a widget area (223) in which the top and sides of the widget area (220) are enlarged, based on a tap input (or double tap input) for a widget placed in the widget area (220). In one embodiment, based on a decision to display a widget displayed in the widget area (220) in the widget area (223), the electronic device (101) may display the widget in the widget area (223) through an animation effect in which the widget is enlarged. In one embodiment, referring to state (206), the electronic device (101) may display a widget in the widget area (223) along with displaying icons in the first icon area (230) and the second icon area (240). For example, unlike the state (203) of FIG. 2a, in the state (206) of the electronic device (101) in landscape mode, the electronic device (101) may not stop displaying icons in the first icon area (230) and the second icon area (240).

[0089] For example, in the state (206) of FIG. 2b, the electronic device (101) may display a widget in the widget area (220) instead of the widget area (223) based on a tap input (or double tap input) for an area other than the widget area (223). In one embodiment, based on a decision to display a widget displayed in the widget area (223) in the widget area (220), the electronic device (101) may display the widget in the widget area (220) through an animation effect in which the widget is reduced.

[0090] Below, examples of lock screens displayed when an electronic device (101) has a relatively large display are described through the states (207, 208, 209) of FIG. 2c.

[0091] Referring to the states (207, 208) of FIG. 2c, the electronic device (101) may display a lock screen in a locked state through a display (260). In one embodiment, the lock screen may include a background area (210). In one embodiment, the background area (210) may display a visual object (211) indicating a lock state and / or a visual object (213) indicating an input area (or an area where a sensor module (176) (e.g., a biometric sensor, a fingerprint sensor)) is located).

[0092] In one embodiment, the gap between the first icon area (230) and the second icon area (240) within the lock screen displayed in the state (207) of FIG. 2c may be longer than the gap between the first icon area (230) and the second icon area (240) within the lock screen displayed in the state (201) of FIG. 2a.

[0093] In one embodiment, the spacing between the first icon area (230) and the second icon area (240) within the lock screen displayed in the state (208) of FIG. 2c may be the same as the spacing between the first icon area (230) and the second icon area (240) within the lock screen displayed in the state (201) of FIG. 2a. For example, the spacing between the first icon area (230) and the second icon area (240) within the lock screen displayed in the state (208) of FIG. 2c may be shorter than the horizontal length of the enlarged widget (223).

[0094] In the states (207, 208) of FIG. 2c, the electronic device (101) can display a widget in the widget area (220). In one embodiment, the widget area (220) in the states (207, 208) of FIG. 2c may have the same size as the widget area (220) in the state (202) of FIG. 2a. However, the embodiment is not limited thereto. For example, the horizontal length of the widget area (220) in the states (207, 208) of FIG. 2c may be longer than the horizontal length of the widget area (220) in the state (202) of FIG. 2a.

[0095] For example, in state (207) of FIG. 2c, the electronic device (101) may display the widget in the widget area (223) in which the top and sides of the widget area (220) are enlarged, based on a tap input (or double tap input) for the widget placed in the widget area (220). In one embodiment, based on a decision to display the widget displayed in the widget area (220) in the widget area (223), the electronic device (101) may display the widget in the widget area (223) through an animation effect in which the widget is enlarged. In one embodiment, referring to state (209), the electronic device (101) may display the widget in the widget area (223) while stopping the display of icons in the first icon area (230) and the second icon area (240). For example, unlike the state (203) of FIG. 2a, in the state (209) of the electronic device (101) in landscape mode, the electronic device (101) may not stop displaying icons in the first icon area (230) and the second icon area (240).

[0096] For example, in the state (208) of FIG. 2c, the electronic device (101) may display the widget in the widget area (223) which is an enlarged widget area (220) based on a tap input (or double tap input) for the widget placed in the widget area (220). In one embodiment, based on the decision to display the widget displayed in the widget area (220) in the widget area (223), the electronic device (101) may move the first icon area (230) and the second icon area (240) so that the first icon area (230) and the second icon area (240) move away from each other in different directions. As the first icon area (230) and the second icon area (240) move away from each other, the electronic device (101) may display the widget in the widget area (223) along with displaying icons in the first icon area (230) and the second icon area (240). For example, unlike the state (203) of FIG. 2a, in the state (209) of the electronic device (101) in portrait mode, the electronic device (101) may not stop displaying icons in the first icon area (230) and the second icon area (240).

[0097] Referring to the state (202) of FIG. 2d, the electronic device (101) can set one widget area (220) while displaying a lock screen in portrait mode. Referring to the state (205) of FIG. 2d, the electronic device (101) can set two or more widget areas (220-1, 220-2) while displaying a lock screen in landscape mode. The two or more widget areas (220-1, 220-2) can be located between icon areas (230, 240).

[0098] Referring to the state (202) of FIG. 2d, the electronic device (101) may receive user input to rotate the electronic device (101) (or to switch to landscape mode) while displaying a lock screen in portrait mode. In one embodiment, depending on the user input, the electronic device (101) may display a widget displayed in the widget area (220) of the lock screen in portrait mode in either of the widget areas (220-1, 220-2), and display another widget having the next order of the widget displayed in the widget area (220) of the lock screen in portrait mode in the other of the widget areas (220-1, 220-2).

[0099] In one embodiment, the electronic device (101) may receive an input to stop displaying a widget displayed in a widget area (220-1) while displaying widgets in two or more widget areas (220-1, 220-2) in landscape mode. For example, upon receiving an input to stop displaying a widget displayed in a widget area (220-1), the electronic device (101) may display a widget displayed in a widget area (220-2) in the widget area (220-1), and display a widget having the next sequence of the widget displayed in the widget area (220-2) in the widget area (220-2).

[0100] In one embodiment, the electronic device (101) may receive an input to stop displaying a widget in a widget area (220-2) while displaying widgets in two or more widget areas (220-1, 220-2) in landscape mode. For example, upon receiving an input to stop displaying a widget in a widget area (220-2), the electronic device (101) may display a widget in the widget area (220-2) that has the next sequence of the widget displayed in the widget area (220-2), and maintain the display of the widget displayed in the widget area (220-1).

[0101] Referring to the state (205) of FIG. 2d, the amount of information displayed in the widgets displayed in two or more widget areas (220-1, 220-2) may vary. For example, the variation in the amount of information may indicate that, in landscape mode, as the width of the display in which two or more widget areas (220-1, 220-2) are displayed widens, the width of each of the two or more widget areas (220-1, 220-2) becomes larger than the width of the widget area (220).

[0113] FIGS. 4a to 4c illustrate a home screen displayed by an electronic device according to one embodiment.

[0114] FIGS. 4a to 4c can be explained with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3b.

[0115] In the state (402) of FIG. 4a, the widget area (420) (or horizontal bar) (or notification bar) (or status bar) can be distinguished from the widget areas (220, 223) of FIG. 2a to FIG. 3b. For example, the widget area (420) can be displayed at the top of the screen of the display (260). For example, the widget area (420) can be displayed on the left side of the screen of the display (260).

[0116] In one embodiment, a widget may be displayed in the widget area (420). The widget in the widget area (420) may display information related to an application. In one embodiment, the widget may display information (or notifications) generated by an application running (in the background). In one embodiment, the widget may be classified as an information widget, a management widget, or a hybrid widget for information and management. For example, the widget may include one or more objects to display information (or notifications) generated by the application. For example, one or more objects may include images and / or text.

[0117] In one embodiment, the widget area (420) may be displayed in the notification area (411). In one embodiment, the notification area (411) may be displayed at the top of the screen of the display (260). In one embodiment, the notification area (411) may indicate the status of the electronic device (e.g., battery status, communication status) and / or the current time.

[0118] In one embodiment, the widget area (420) may be displayed in an unlocked state (or in use state). In this case, a screen other than the lock screen (e.g., home screen, or application screen, or app screen) may be displayed in the background area (410) of the display (260).

[0119] In one embodiment, the electronic device (101) can change the widget area (420) displayed in the unlocked state (or, in use state) based on an event.

[0120] For example, in the state (402) of FIG. 4a, the electronic device (101) may display the widget in a widget area (423) that is expanded beyond the widget area (420) based on input for the widget placed in the widget area (420). For example, the widget area (423) may be displayed at a location that does not overlap with the notification area (411) (e.g., below the notification area (411)).

[0121] For example, in the state (402) of FIG. 4a, the electronic device (101) may display another widget in the widget area (420) instead of the widget based on an upward or right swipe input (or drag input) for the widget placed in the widget area (420). For example, the electronic device (101) may display a widget following the widget displayed in the widget area (420) in the widget area (420) based on an upward left or downward right swipe input (or drag input) for the widget placed in the widget area (420).

[0122] In one embodiment, the electronic device (101) may display an indicator (421) (or hint) indicating that there are more widgets displaying additional notifications based on the fact that there are two or more applications generating notifications (or events). The indicator (421) (or hint) may indicate that there are other widgets in the next layer of the widget displayed in the widget area (420).

[0123] For example, the electronic device (101) may change the order of the widgets based on an upward or rightward swipe input (or drag input) for a widget placed in the widget area (420). For example, the order of the widgets may be used to determine which widget is displayed in the widget area (220, 223, 420, 423). For example, a top card widget among the widgets may be displayed in the widget area (220, 223, 420, 423). For example, by changing the order of the widgets, the widget displayed in the widget area (420, 423) within a screen other than the lock screen (e.g., home screen, and / or application screen) may be changed. Also, for example, by changing the order of the widgets, the widget displayed in the widget area (220, 223) within the lock screen (or AoD screen) may be changed.

[0124] For example, depending on an input that changes the order of widgets (e.g., a swipe input), the electronic device (101) can change the widgets displayed in the widget areas (220, 223, 420, 423). For example, depending on an input that changes the order of widgets for a widget displayed in the widget area (420) (e.g., a swipe input), the widgets displayed in the other widget areas (220, 223, 423) as well as in the widget area (420) can be changed.

[0125] For example, referring to the state (403) of FIG. 4a, the electronic device (101) can change the widget area (420) into an enlarged widget area (423) based on input to the widget area (420). In the state (403), after a widget is displayed in the widget area (423) for a specified time, the widget area (423) can be changed back to the widget area (420).

[0126] As described above, examples of a home screen displayed by the electronic device (101) while in portrait mode are explained through the states (402, 403) of FIG. 4a.

[0127] In the state (405) of FIG. 4b, the widget area (420) (or horizontal bar) (or notification bar) (or status bar) can be distinguished from the widget areas (220, 223) of FIG. 2a through FIG. 3b. For example, the widget area (420) can be displayed at the top of the screen of the display (260). For example, the widget area (420) can be displayed on the left side of the screen of the display (260).

[0128] In one embodiment, a widget may be displayed in the widget area (420). The widget in the widget area (420) may display information related to an application. In one embodiment, the widget may display information (or notifications) generated by an application running (in the background). In one embodiment, the widget may be classified as an information widget, a management widget, or a hybrid widget for information and management. For example, the widget may include one or more objects to display information (or notifications) generated by the application. For example, one or more objects may include images and / or text.

[0129] In one embodiment, the widget area (420) may be displayed in the notification area (411). In one embodiment, the notification area (411) may be displayed at the top of the screen of the display (260). In one embodiment, the notification area (411) may indicate the status of the electronic device (e.g., battery status, communication status) and / or the current time.

[0130] In one embodiment, the widget area (420) may be displayed in an unlocked state (or in use state). In this case, a screen other than the lock screen (e.g., home screen, or application screen, or app screen) may be displayed in the background area (410) of the display (260).

[0131] In one embodiment, the electronic device (101) can change the widget area (420) displayed in the unlocked state (or, in use state) based on an event.

[0132] For example, in the state (405) of FIG. 4b, the electronic device (101) may display the widget in a widget area (423) that is enlarged beyond the widget area (420), based on input for the widget placed in the widget area (420). For example, the widget area (423) may be displayed at a location that does not overlap with the notification area (411) (e.g., below the notification area (411)).

[0133] For example, referring to the state (406) of FIG. 4b, the electronic device (101) can change the widget area (420) into an enlarged widget area (423) based on input to the widget area (420). In the state (406), after a widget is displayed in the widget area (423) for a specified time, the widget area (423) can be changed back to the widget area (420).

[0134] In one embodiment, the electronic device (101) may display one or more widgets on the home screen. For example, referring to FIG. 4c, the electronic device (101) may display one or more widgets (e.g., “Suggestion”) within a grid structure in which icons and / or widgets of applications are displayed on the home screen. The electronic device (101) may not allow one or more widgets (e.g., “Suggestion”) displayed within the grid structure on the home screen to disappear upon satisfying a time condition or the user acknowledging a notification.

In one embodiment, the application may be an application that generates a widget displayed in a widget area (220) within a notification area (411) and / or a widget area (423) below the notification area (411) on a screen in an unlocked state (e.g., a home screen, and / or a screen of another application).

[0369] In one embodiment, information associated with the application may include information within a widget displayed in a widget area (220) within a notification area (411) and / or in a widget area (423) below the notification area (411). For example, information associated with the application may include information entered in the icon (611) of FIG. 6, primary information (612), secondary information (613), and / or action button area (614). For example, information associated with the application may include information entered in the area (711) where an icon associated with the progress status is displayed, the area (712) displaying the progress status, and / or action button area (713) of FIG. 7. For example, information associated with the application may include text information (811) of FIG. 8.

[0370] For example, information associated with the application may include information displayed within the reduced widgets (1001, 1002, 1003) of FIG. 10 (e.g., an icon (1011), status information (1012), primary information (1013), match information area (1014), and / or information displayed in the 2 icon area (1014)).

[0371] In operation 2920, the electronic device (101), while in a locked state, can generate a widget corresponding to a template among a plurality of templates based on at least a portion of the information. In one embodiment, the plurality of templates may be frames input to a widget for displaying information within a widget area (420) within a notification area (411) and / or a widget area (423) below the notification area (411) in the widget area (220, 223). For example, the plurality of templates may represent arrangement structures of information for generating the widgets (1101, 1102, 1103, 1104, 1105, 1106) exemplified through FIG. 11. For example, the plurality of templates may represent arrangement structures of areas (1211 to 1215) included in the widget layout (1201) exemplified through FIG. 12a. For example, multiple templates may represent arrangement structures of regions (1211 to 1215) included in different widgets (1221 to 1227) according to information displayed according to the state of the ongoing activity (e.g., pre-ongoing activity, ongoing activity, or post-ongoing activity) illustrated in FIG. 12b.

[0372] For example, the electronic device (101) can generate a widget based on a template corresponding to a widget area (220, 223) where a widget is displayed among a plurality of templates while in a locked state.

[0409] For example, the electronic device (101) may change the order of the widgets based on an upward or rightward swipe input (or drag input) for a widget placed in the widget area (420). For example, the order of the widgets may be used to determine which widget is displayed in the widget area (220, 223, 420, 423). For example, a top card widget among the widgets may be displayed in the widget area (220, 223, 420, 423). For example, by changing the order of the widgets, the widget displayed in the widget area (420, 423) within a screen other than the lock screen (e.g., home screen, and / or application screen) may be changed. Also, for example, by changing the order of the widgets, the widget displayed in the widget area (220, 223) within the lock screen (or AoD screen) may be changed.

[0410] In one embodiment, in the state (3201) of FIG. 32a, the electronic device (101) may transmit information to another electronic device (3200) indicating that the order of the widgets displayed on the electronic device (101) has been changed, in response to an input (e.g., a swipe input) that changes the order of the widgets.

[0423] FIGS. 33a to 33d illustrate an example in which an electronic device displays a widget according to one embodiment. FIGS. 34a to 34d illustrate an example in which an electronic device displays a widget according to one embodiment.

[0424] The electronic device illustrated in FIGS. 33a to 33d and FIGS. 34a to 34d may include a display larger than the electronic device (101) illustrated in FIG. 2a. In one embodiment, the electronic device illustrated in FIGS. 33a to 33d and FIGS. 34a to 34d may display two or more widgets as it includes a display larger than the electronic device (101) illustrated in FIG. 2a. For example, adaptively to the size of the electronic device's display, the electronic device may display two or more widgets.

[0425] For example, referring to the state (3301) of FIG. 33a, the electronic device may display a lock screen including a background area (3310) through a display (e.g., the display module (160) of FIG. 1). In one embodiment, the background area (3310) may display a visual object (3311) (e.g., a lock image) indicating a lock state and / or a visual object (3313) (e.g., a fingerprint image) indicating an input area for obtaining an input (e.g., a fingerprint image) for unlocking the lock state. In one embodiment, the lock screen may include a first icon area (3330) and a second icon area (3340).

[0426] In one embodiment, the electronic device may display two or more widgets (3320, 3325) based on a notification (or event) on the lock screen. In one embodiment, the two or more widgets (3320, 3325) may operate independently of each other. For example, the two or more widgets (3320, 3325) operating independently of each other may indicate that the electronic device updates the display of the widget (3320) based on an event generated in the widget (3320) (e.g., notification, update of information, input to the widget (3320)), but does not update the display of the widget (3325). For example, in the state (3301) of FIG. 33a, the electronic device (101) may display the widget corresponding to the tap input as an enlarged widget based on a tap input (or double tap input) for any one of two or more widgets (3320, 3325), and not change the size of the widget that does not correspond to the tap input.

[0427] In one embodiment, in the state (3302) of FIG. 33b, the electronic device may display two or more enlarged widgets (3323, 3327) based on a notification (or event) on the lock screen. In one embodiment, the two or more enlarged widgets (3323, 3327) may be widgets that are larger in size than the two or more widgets (3320, 3325). In one embodiment, the amount of information displayed in each of the two or more enlarged widgets (3323, 3327) may be greater than the amount of information displayed in each of the two or more widgets (3320, 3325).

[0428] For example, referring to the state (3303) of FIG. 33c, the electronic device may display a screen (3350) other than the lock screen (e.g., home screen, or application screen, or app screen) when unlocked. In one embodiment, a notification area (3351) may be displayed on the screen (3350). In one embodiment, the notification area (3351) may be displayed at the top of the screen of the display.
