For example, the specified condition may be a condition for displaying a widget screen (210) including two widget regions (211, 215) through a display (260).

[0044] For example, the electronic device (101) may determine that a specified condition is satisfied based on turning on the display (260) while the electronic device (101) is in a locked state. For example, the electronic device (101) may determine that a specified condition is satisfied based on turning on the display (260) while the electronic device (101) is in a charging state. 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) while in a locked state. In the following, a state (or mode) in which a lock screen (or an AoD (always on display) screen switched from the lock screen) is displayed may be referred to as a normal mode. In the following, a state (or mode) in which screens (210, 240, 250) including a widget screen (210) (or an AoD screen switched from the widget screen (210)) are displayed may be referred to as a hub mode.

[0045] In one embodiment, two widget areas (211, 215) within the widget screen (210) may occupy most of the area of ​​the widget screen (210). For example, each of the two widget areas (211, 215) may be a square (with rounded corners).

[0046] In one embodiment, two widget regions (211, 215) within the widget screen (210) may be arranged side by side within the widget screen (210) along the major axis direction (201) of the widget screen (210). In one embodiment, two widget regions (211, 215) within the widget screen (210) may be arranged to face each other with respect to the minor axis direction (205) of the widget screen (210).

[0047] In one embodiment, the electronic device (101) may selectively display different widgets in a first widget area (211) and a second widget area (215). In one embodiment, the electronic device (101) may display one widget in the first widget area (211) from a first set of widgets (221, 223, 225) which are set to be selectively displayed with respect to the first widget area (211). In one embodiment, the electronic device (101) may display one widget in the second widget area (215) from a second set of widgets (231, 233, 235, 237) which are set to be selectively displayed with respect to the second widget area (215).

[0048] In one embodiment, the widget may be classified as an information widget, a management widget, or a hybrid widget for information and management. In one embodiment, the information widget may display information elements provided by the application associated with the widget (e.g., current weather, information on the currently playing song, step count, exercise time). In one embodiment, the management widget may display function elements provided by the application associated with the widget (e.g., play next song, pause, answer call, hang up call). For example, the electronic device (101) may control some functions of the application associated with the widget in response to a selection of function elements provided by the management widget. In one embodiment, the hybrid widget may display information elements and function 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.

[0049] 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.

[0050] For example, the electronic device (101) may display a selected widget from a first set of widgets (221, 223, 225) in the first widget area (211) according to an input (e.g., a swipe input) to the first widget area (211). For example, the electronic device (101) may display the widget (223 or 225) following the widget (221) according to a swipe input to the first widget area (211) where the widget (221) is displayed. For example, the electronic device (101) may display the widget (223) instead of the widget (221) in the first widget area (211) according to a downward swipe input to the first widget area (211) where the widget (221) is displayed. For example, the electronic device (101) may display a widget (225) instead of a widget (221) in the first widget area (211) in response to an upward swipe input to the first widget area (211) where the widget (221) is displayed.

[0051] For example, the electronic device (101) may display a selected widget from a second set of widgets (231, 233, 235, 237) in the second widget area (215) according to an input (e.g., a swipe input) to the second widget area (215). For example, the electronic device (101) may display the widget (233 or 235) following the widget (231) according to a swipe input to the second widget area (215) where the widget (231) is displayed. For example, the electronic device (101) may display the widget (233) instead of the widget (231) in the second widget area (215) according to a downward swipe input to the second widget area (215) where the widget (231) is displayed. For example, the electronic device (101) may display a widget (235) instead of a widget (231) in the second widget area (215) in response to an upward swipe input to the second widget area (215) where the widget (231) is displayed.

[0052] In one embodiment, the widgets (221, 223, 225, 231, 233, 235, 237) may be widgets of different applications. For example, the widgets (221, 225) may be widgets of an application associated with a schedule. For example, widget (223) may be a widget of a clock application. For example, widget (231) may be a widget of a map application. For example, widget (233) may be a widget of a weather application. For example, widget (235) may be a widget of a media player. For example, widget (237) may be a widget of a calendar application.

[0053] In one embodiment, the electronic device (101) may display another screen instead of the widget screen (210) based on user input (e.g., swipe input) while specified conditions are met. For example, the other screen may include a screen (240) displaying a photo and / or a screen (250) displaying a clock (e.g., a digital or analog clock). In one embodiment, the electronic device (101) may display the widget screen (210) instead of the other screen (240, 250) based on user input (e.g., swipe input) while specified conditions are met.

[0054] For example, the screen (240) for displaying photos may be a screen that sequentially displays one or more photos at specified time intervals. In one embodiment, the screen (240) for displaying photos may include one or more information elements (e.g., a clock).

[0055] For example, the electronic device (101) may display a screen (241) containing a family photo instead of a widget screen (210) while specified conditions are met. For example, the electronic device (101) may display a screen (245) containing a landscape photo instead of a widget screen (210) while specified conditions are met. For example, the electronic device (101) may change the photo within the screen displayed on the display (260) at specified time intervals. For example, the electronic device (101) may display a screen containing a different photo instead of the screen displayed on the display (260) depending on a swipe input for the screen displayed on the display (260). For example, the electronic device (101) may display a screen (245) containing a landscape photo instead of the screen (241) depending on a swipe input for the screen (241) containing a family photo.

[0056] For example, the screen (250) displaying the clock may be a screen displaying the current weather and / or the current time. In one embodiment, the screen (250) displaying the photo may include one or more information elements (e.g., weather information).

[0057] For example, the screen (250) displaying the clock may be a screen depicting the current weather. For example, the electronic device (101) may display a screen (251) containing a background depicting the current weather (e.g., clear daytime) and a digital clock instead of the widget screen (210) while specified conditions are met. For example, the electronic device (101) may display a screen (255) containing a background depicting the current weather (e.g., dark nighttime) and a digital clock instead of the widget screen (210) while specified conditions are met. For example, the electronic device (101) may display the screen (255) instead of the screen (251) depending on a swipe input to the screen (251).

[0058] In one embodiment, while displaying a widget screen (210) comprising two widget areas (211, 215), the electronic device (101) may change a widget displayed in at least one of the two widget areas (211, 215) according to an event. For example, the electronic device (101) may display a new widget (or a widget not set for the two widget areas (211, 215)) according to an event instead of a first set of widgets (221, 223, 225) and / or a second set of widgets (231, 233, 235, 237). Below, with reference to FIGS. 3 to 7d, an operation in which the electronic device (101) displays a new widget not set in a widget area may be described.

For example, the general applications may be applications distinct from AI assistant applications.

[0066] In one embodiment, the AI ​​module (320) may be an AI assistance application. In one embodiment, the AI ​​module (320) may be associated with a system UI (user interface) associated with an operating system of the electronic device (101) (e.g., the operating system (142) of FIG. 1) and / or middleware (e.g., the middleware (144) of FIG. 1). For example, the fact that the AI ​​module (320) is associated with a system UI may indicate that it can provide elements for displaying the overall UI (e.g., a lock screen, a home screen, a navigation bar, etc.). In one embodiment, the AI ​​module (320) may monitor applications (311, 312, 313) (or a featured artificial intelligence module within the applications (311, 312, 313)) and, based on the monitoring results, display information to be provided to the user.

[0067] In one embodiment, the AI ​​module (320) may acquire input based on natural language and / or output output based on natural language. For example, the AI ​​module (320) may be an application that causes an AI model trained on vast data to generate output through input based on natural language (e.g., a prompt) and provides the generated output.

[0068] In one embodiment, the AI ​​module (320) may include an AI model comprising at least one parameter associated with a neural network having a structure based on an encoder and / or decoder, such as a transformer. In one embodiment, the AI ​​module (320) may include a bidirectional model based on learning about an encoder (e.g., BERT (bidirectional encoder representations from transformers)), or an auto-encoding model (e.g., a diffusion model). In one embodiment, the AI ​​module (320) may include an auto-regressor model based on learning about a decoder (e.g., GPT (generative pre-trained transformer)). In one embodiment, the AI ​​module (320) may include a sequence-to-sequence model based on learning about an encoder and / or decoder (e.g., stable diffusion, DALL-E 2). In one embodiment, the AI ​​module (320) may include a large language model (LLM) for processing natural language based on massive parameters. In one embodiment, the AI ​​module (320) may be a vision-language model for processing images and text (e.g., a contrastive language-image pre-training model, CLIP model). However, it is not limited thereto. The AI ​​module (320) may include at least one parameter for driving a neural network such as a convolutional neural network (CNN), a recurrent neural network (RNN), a feedforward neural network (FNN), and / or a long short-term memory (LSTM).

[0070] In one embodiment, the AI ​​module (320) can generate a widget. In one embodiment, the AI ​​module (320) can generate a widget while a widget screen (e.g., the widget screen (210) of FIG. 2) including two widget areas (e.g., two widget areas (211, 215) of FIG. 2) is displayed through the display (260).

[0071] In one embodiment, the AI ​​module (320) can identify an event for creating a widget. In one embodiment, the AI ​​module (320) can identify an event for creating a widget based on user data (330), device data (340), and / or application data (350). For example, the AI ​​module (320) can identify an event for creating a widget to guide the user's schedule. For example, the AI ​​module (320) can identify an event for creating a widget associated with a mode (or routine) of the electronic device (101) depending on whether the electronic device (101) is located at a specified location or / or the current time is a specified time. In one embodiment, the mode (or routine) of the electronic device (101) may be in a state where functions related to do not disturb, app usage restriction, power consumption (e.g., sleep mode), and / or sound mode (or volume) are set depending on the current activity, location, or situation. For example, a mode (or routine) may include modes for sleep, movie theater, driving, exercise, rest, or work.

[0072] In one embodiment, the AI ​​module (320) may refrain from creating a widget based on an event while a screen (240) displaying a photo and / or a screen (250) displaying a clock is displayed on the display (260). In one embodiment, the AI ​​module (320) may create a widget based on an event while a widget screen (210) is displayed instead of the screens (240, 250). For example, the AI ​​module (320) may display the widget screen (210) upon receiving user input to display the widget screen (210) while the screens (240, 250) are displayed. Subsequently, the AI ​​module (320) may create a widget to be displayed on the widget screen (210) based on an event identified while the screens (240, 250) are displayed and / or while the widget screen (210) is displayed. In one embodiment, the AI ​​module (320) can set one or more objects included in a widget to be displayed on a widget screen (210) differently depending on the location of the electronic device (101), the state of the user, and / or a mode (or routine).

[0077] In one embodiment, the electronic device (101) may display a widget screen (411) as specified conditions are met. For example, specified conditions may include the locking state of the electronic device (101) and / or obtaining power from an external electronic device (301).

[0078] For example, the electronic device (101) can display a widget screen (411) while the electronic device (101) is locked. For example, the electronic device (101) can display a widget screen (411) while the electronic device (101) is receiving power from an external electronic device (301).

[0079] In one embodiment, set widgets may be displayed in a first widget area (211) and a second widget area (215) within the screen (411). For example, the electronic device (101) may display one widget from a first set of widgets set to be selectively displayed in the first widget area (211) within the screen (411) in the first widget area (211). For example, the electronic device (101) may display one widget from a second set of widgets set to be selectively displayed in the second widget area (215) within the screen (411) in the second widget area (215).

[0080] For example, the electronic device (101) can display the next widget among the first set of widgets in the first widget area (211) according to an input in the long axis direction of the display (260) for the first widget area (211) (e.g., swipe input, or pan input). For example, the electronic device (101) can display the next widget among the second set of widgets in the second widget area (211) according to an input in the long axis direction of the display (260) for the second widget area (215) (e.g., swipe input, or pan input).

[0081] In one embodiment, the electronic device (101) can display a widget screen (411) in a landscape position of the electronic device (101).

[0082] In one embodiment, referring to the state (405) of FIG. 4, the electronic device (101) may display a widget screen (415) instead of a widget screen (411) as the posture of the electronic device (101) changes from a landscape posture to a portrait posture. In one embodiment, the electronic device (101) may display a widget screen (415) instead of a widget screen (411) as the posture of the electronic device (101) changes from a landscape posture to a portrait posture while a specified condition is met.

[0083] In one embodiment, as the posture of the electronic device (101) changes from a landscape posture to a portrait posture, the widgets displayed in the first widget area (211) and the second widget area (215) respectively within the screen (411) can be displayed in the first widget area (211) and the second widget area (215) respectively within the screen (415).

[0084] For example, the electronic device (101) can display the next widget among the first set of widgets in the first widget area (211) according to input in the short direction of the display (260) for the first widget area (211) (e.g., swipe input, or pan input). For example, the electronic device (101) can display the next widget among the first set of widgets in the second widget area (211) according to input in the short direction of the display (260) for the second widget area (215) (e.g., swipe input, or pan input).

[0085] In one embodiment, referring to FIG. 5a, the electronic device (101) may display a lock screen (511) instead of a widget screen (411) in a landscape position when a specified condition is not met. In one embodiment, the lock screen may include a wallpaper (or background image). In one embodiment, the lock screen may include a visual object indicating a locked state (e.g., a lock image) and / or a visual object indicating an area for obtaining biometric information (e.g., a fingerprint image). In one embodiment, the lock screen may include interactive objects (e.g., at least one widget (521), and / or one or more icons (523, 525)).

[0086] For example, the electronic device (101) may display a lock screen (511) instead of a widget screen (411) when power acquisition from an external electronic device (301) is interrupted in state (401). However, the embodiments are not limited thereto. For example, the electronic device (101) may display a lock screen (511) instead of a widget screen (411) even while a specified condition is met. For example, the electronic device (101) may display a lock screen (511) instead of a widget screen (411) based on user input even while a specified condition is met. For example, user input may be an input that causes the display of the lock screen (511) (e.g., a push on the power button).

[0087] For example, when the lock screen (511) is displayed, the widget screen (411) may be located on page -1 of the lock screen (511). For example, the widget screen (411) being located on page -1 of the lock screen (511) may indicate that it is located on a page at a specific position (e.g., left position) among the pages movable from the lock screen (511).

[0088] For example, in a state (501) where a lock screen (511) is displayed, the electronic device (101) may display a widget screen (411) instead of the lock screen (511) according to user input (531) for the lock screen (511). For example, the electronic device (101) may display a widget screen (411) instead of the lock screen (511) according to a first swipe input (from right to left) for the lock screen (511).

[0089] For example, in a state (503) where the widget screen (411) is displayed, the electronic device (101) may display a lock screen (511) instead of the widget screen (411) depending on other user inputs for the widget screen (411). For example, the electronic device (101) may display a lock screen (511) instead of the widget screen (411) depending on a second swipe input (from left to right) in the opposite direction to the first swipe input for the widget screen (411).

[0090] For example, in a state (501) where the lock screen (511) is displayed, the electronic device (101) may display a widget screen (411) instead of the lock screen (511) as specified conditions are met. For example, in a state (501) where the lock screen (511) is displayed, the electronic device (101) may display a widget screen (411) instead of the lock screen (511) as power is obtained from an external electronic device (301).

[0091] According to an embodiment, the electronic device (101) may display the home screen instead of the widget screen (411) as it is unlocked in a landscape position. For example, while the home screen is displayed, the widget screen (411) may be located on page -1 of the home screen. For example, the widget screen (411) being located on page -1 of the home screen may indicate that it is located on a page at a specific position (e.g., left position) among the pages movable from the home screen. For example, while the home screen is displayed, the electronic device (101) may display the widget screen (411) instead of the home screen in response to a first swipe input (from right to left) for the home screen. For example, while the widget screen (411) is displayed, the home screen may be displayed instead of the widget screen (411) in response to a second swipe input (from left to right) in the opposite direction to the first swipe input for the widget screen (411).

[0092] In one embodiment, referring to FIG. 5b, the electronic device (101) may display a lock screen (515) instead of a widget screen (415) when a specified condition is not met in a portrait pose. In one embodiment, the lock screen may include interactive objects (e.g., at least one widget (521), and / or one or more icons (523, 525)).

[0093] For example, the electronic device (101) may display a lock screen (515) instead of a widget screen (415) when power acquisition from an external electronic device (301) is interrupted in state (405). However, the embodiments are not limited thereto. For example, the electronic device (101) may display a lock screen (515) instead of a widget screen (415) even while a specified condition is met. For example, the electronic device (101) may display a lock screen (515) instead of a widget screen (415) based on user input even while a specified condition is met. For example, user input may be an input that causes the display of the lock screen (515) (e.g., a push on the power button).

[0094] For example, when the lock screen (515) is displayed, the widget screen (415) may be located on page -1 of the lock screen (515). For example, the widget screen (415) being located on page -1 of the lock screen (515) may indicate that it is located on a page at a specific position (e.g., left position) among the pages movable from the lock screen (515).

[0095] For example, in a state (505) where a lock screen (515) is displayed, the electronic device (101) may display a widget screen (415) instead of the lock screen (515) according to user input (531) for the lock screen (515). For example, the electronic device (101) may display a widget screen (415) instead of the lock screen (515) according to a first swipe input (from right to left) for the lock screen (515).

[0096] For example, in a state (507) where the widget screen (415) is displayed, the electronic device (101) may display the lock screen (515) instead of the widget screen (415) depending on other user inputs for the widget screen (415). For example, the electronic device (101) may display the lock screen (515) instead of the widget screen (415) depending on a second swipe input (from left to right) in the opposite direction to the first swipe input for the widget screen (415).

[0097] For example, in a state (505) where the lock screen (515) is displayed, the electronic device (101) may display a widget screen (415) instead of the lock screen (515) as specified conditions are met. For example, in a state (505) where the lock screen (515) is displayed, the electronic device (101) may display a widget screen (415) instead of the lock screen (515) as power is obtained from an external electronic device (301).

[0098] According to an embodiment, the electronic device (101) may display the home screen instead of the widget screen (415) as it is unlocked in a portrait position. For example, while the home screen is displayed, the widget screen (415) may be located on page -1 of the home screen. For example, the widget screen (415) being located on page -1 of the home screen may indicate that it is located on a page at a specific position (e.g., left position) among the pages movable from the home screen. For example, while the home screen is displayed, the electronic device (101) may display the widget screen (415) instead of the home screen in response to a first swipe input (from right to left) for the home screen. For example, while the widget screen (415) is displayed, the home screen may be displayed instead of the widget screen (415) in response to a second swipe input (from left to right) in the opposite direction to the first swipe input for the widget screen (415).

[0099] Hereinafter, with reference to FIGS. 6, 7a, 7b, 7c, and 7d, an operation in which an electronic device (101) displays a widget through an AI module (320) while displaying a widget screen including two widget areas (211, 215) can be described.

[0100] FIG. 6 is a drawing illustrating an example of a screen displayed by an electronic device according to one embodiment.

[0101] FIG. 6 can be explained with reference to FIGS. 1 to 5b.

[0102] Referring to FIG. 6, in state (601), the electronic device (101) may display a widget screen (411) including a first widget (611) in a first widget area (211) and a second widget (615) in a second widget area (215). In one embodiment, state (601) may indicate a state in which a specified condition for displaying the widget screen (411) is satisfied. In one embodiment, the first widget (611) may be a widget of an application (311). In one embodiment, the second widget (615) may be a widget of an application (312). For example, the application (311) may be a media player, and the application (312) may be a clock application.

[0103] In one embodiment, the electronic device (101) can collect and / or identify information through an AI module (320). For example, the AI ​​module (320) can collect and / or identify information associated with widgets (611, 615) displayed in widget areas (211, 215). For example, the AI ​​module (320) can identify information about a first widget (611) displayed in a first widget area (211) and / or an application (311) associated with the first widget (611). For example, information about the first widget (611) displayed in the first widget area (211) may include information displayed through the first widget (611) (e.g., information about media content being played). For example, information about an application (311) associated with the first widget (611) may include information about the application name, application type, and / or application function. In the following, information regarding the first widget (611) and / or the application (311) associated with the first widget (611) displayed in the first widget area (211) may be referred to as the first widget information.

[0104] For example, the AI ​​module (320) can identify information about a second widget (615) displayed in the second widget area (215) and / or an application (312) associated with the second widget (615). For example, information about the second widget (615) displayed in the second widget area (215) may include information displayed through the second widget (615) (e.g., visual information). For example, information about an application (312) associated with the second widget (615) may include information about the application name, application type, and / or application function. In the following, information about the second widget (615) displayed in the second widget area (215) and / or an application (312) associated with the second widget (615) may be referred to as second widget information.

[0105] For example, the AI ​​module (320) can collect and / or identify user data (330), device data (340), and / or application data (350).

[0106] In one embodiment, the electronic device (101) can determine whether to display a new widget on the screen (411) through the AI ​​module (320).

[0107] In one embodiment, the electronic device (101) can determine whether to display a widget for suggestions on the screen (411) through the AI ​​module (320). For example, the widget may be a widget for suggesting the execution of a new application, suggesting new content, suggesting external activities (e.g., exercise, attending a meeting), suggesting daily activities of the user (e.g., sleeping), and / or suggesting the termination of the execution of applications for power management of the electronic device (101). For example, the AI ​​module (320) can determine whether to display the widget on the screen (411) as first widget information and / or second widget information are input as a prompt. For example, the AI ​​module (320) can determine whether to display the widget on the screen (411) as first widget information, second widget information, user data (330), device data (340), and / or application data (350) are input as a prompt.

[0108] For example, the AI ​​module (320) may generate a new widget (620) for a suggestion based on determining to display a widget for a suggestion. For example, the AI ​​module (320) may identify one or more objects to be included in the new widget (620) for a suggestion. For example, in the case of a suggestion for new content, one or more objects to be included in the new widget (620) may include information about the new content (e.g., name, release date, creator), and / or information about a media player for playing the new content (e.g., name, and / or icon).

[0109] For example, the AI ​​module (320) may obtain information (or associated data) about one or more objects to be included in a new widget (620) for a proposal from an associated application. In one embodiment, the associated application may be a media player for playing new content. In one embodiment, the associated application may be an application (or database) for providing information about new content.

[0110] For example, the AI ​​module (320) can generate a new widget (620) for a proposal by inputting information obtained into one or more objects within a layout associated with the new widget (620).

[0111] For example, the AI ​​module (320) can create a new widget (620) through the application (313) based on its decision to display a widget for a proposal. For example, the AI ​​module (320) can instruct the application (313) associated with the new widget (620) for a proposal to create the new widget (620) based on its decision to display a widget for a proposal. For example, the AI ​​module (320) can identify the application (313) that will create the new widget (620) for a proposal. For example, as the application (313) is identified, the AI ​​module (320) can request the application (313) to create the new widget (620).

[0112] In one embodiment, with reference to state (605), the AI ​​module (320) may display (or overlay) a new widget (620) on the first widget area (211) and / or the second widget area (215). For example, the AI ​​module (320) may display (or overlay) a new widget (620) on the first widget area (211) that suggests content associated with the content of the first widget (611) within the first widget area (211).

[0113] In one embodiment, the electronic device (101) may execute an application (313) associated with the new widget (620) in accordance with user input (e.g., press input) for the new widget (620). For example, if the AI ​​module (320) creates the new widget (620), the AI ​​module (320) may display a new screen on the display (260) instead of the screen (411) in accordance with user input (e.g., press input) for the new widget (620). In one embodiment, the new screen may include a screen created by the AI ​​module (320) and / or a screen created by another application by the AI ​​module (320) instructing another application.

[0114] For example, if an application (313) other than the AI ​​module (320) creates a new widget (620), the application (313) can display the screen of the application (313) on the display (260) instead of the screen (411) according to user input (e.g., press input) for the new widget (620).

[0115] FIGS. 7a, FIGS. 7b, FIGS. 7c, and FIGS. 7d ​​are drawings illustrating examples of screens displayed by an electronic device according to one embodiment.

[0116] FIGS. 7a, FIGS. 7b, FIGS. 7c, and FIGS. 7d ​​can be explained with reference to FIGS. 1 through 6.

[0117] Referring to FIG. 7a, in state (601), the electronic device (101) can display a widget screen (411) including a first widget (611) in a first widget area (211) and a second widget (615) in a second widget area (215).

[0118] In one embodiment, the electronic device (101) can collect and / or identify information through the AI ​​module (320). For example, the AI ​​module (320) can collect and / or identify user data (330), device data (340), and / or application data (350).

[0119] In one embodiment, the electronic device (101) can determine whether to display a new widget on the screen (411) through the AI ​​module (320).

[0120] In one embodiment, the electronic device (101) can determine whether to display a new widget in the widget areas (211, 215) within the screen (411) through the AI ​​module (320). For example, the new widget may be a widget that is distinct from the first set of widgets set in the first widget area (211) and / or the second set of widgets set in the second widget area (215). For example, the new widget may be a widget for playing new content, a widget for providing information about external activities (e.g., exercise, attending a meeting, attending an appointment), and / or a widget for providing information about the user's daily activities (e.g., sleeping). For example, the AI ​​module (320) can determine whether to display the new widget within the screen (411) as the first widget information, the second widget information, user data (330), device data (340), and / or application data (350) are input as a prompt.

[0121] For example, the AI ​​module (320) can generate a new widget (711) based on a decision to display a new widget.

[0122] For example, the AI ​​module (320) can identify one or more objects to be included in the new widget (711). For example, in the case of providing information about an external activity, one or more objects to be included in the new widget (620) may include information about the schedule (e.g., destination, appointment time, attendees), and / or information about the destination (e.g., weather at the destination, method of getting to the destination).

[0123] For example, the AI ​​module (320) may obtain information (or associated data) about one or more objects to be included in the new widget (711) from an associated application. In one embodiment, the associated application may be a schedule application for recording schedule information. In one embodiment, the associated application may be an application that provides traffic information for traveling to a destination. In one embodiment, the associated application may be an application that provides the weather of the destination.

[0124] For example, the AI ​​module (320) can generate a new widget (711) for a proposal by inputting information obtained into one or more objects within a layout associated with the new widget (711).

[0125] For example, the AI ​​module (320) may create a new widget (711) through an application (313) based on its decision to display a new widget (711). For example, the AI ​​module (320) may instruct the application (313) associated with the new widget (711) to create the new widget (711) based on its decision to display a new widget (711). For example, the AI ​​module (320) may identify the application (313) to create the new widget (711). For example, as the application (313) is identified, the AI ​​module (320) may request the application (313) to create the new widget (711).

[0126] In one embodiment, referring to state (701), the AI ​​module (320) may display a new widget (711) in either the first widget area (211) and / or the second widget area (215). For example, the AI ​​module (320) may display a new widget (711) instead of the first widget (611) within the first widget area (211). When the new widget (711) is displayed instead of the first widget (611), the new widget (711) may be displayed in place of the first widget (611) through an animation in which the new widget (711) pushes out the first widget (611). For example, the new widget (711) pushing out the first widget (611) may include the first widget (611) moving in a specific direction (e.g., downward direction) while simultaneously the new widget (711) appears from above in a specific direction (e.g., downward direction). Accordingly, the electronic device (101) can display the first widget (611) again in the first widget area (211) instead of the new widget (711) in response to an upward swipe input to the first widget area (211) where the new widget (711) is displayed.

[0127] In one embodiment, the AI ​​module (320) may display the new widget (711) instead of the widget displayed in either the first widget area (211) and / or the second widget area (215), based on an association with the new widget (711). For example, the association may include a first association between the new widget (711) and the widget (611) displayed in the first widget area (211), and a second association between the new widget (711) and the widget (615) displayed in the second widget area (215). For example, the first association may be a similarity (e.g., cosine similarity) between the content contained in the new widget (711) and the content contained in the widget (611). For example, the second association may be a similarity (e.g., cosine similarity) between the content contained in the new widget (711) and the content contained in the widget (615).

[0128] In one embodiment, the AI ​​module (320) may display a new widget (711) in a widget area where a widget having a lower correlation between a first correlation and a second correlation is displayed. For example, if content related to content is displayed on widget (611), content related to a clock is displayed on widget (615), and the new widget (711) is related to a schedule, the AI ​​module (320) may determine that the first correlation with widget (611) is lower than the second correlation with widget (615). Accordingly, the AI ​​module (320) may display the new widget (711) in the first widget area (211) where widget (611) is displayed.

[0129] For example, the electronic device (101) may change the display of the remaining widget area (i.e., the second widget area (215)) based on user interaction (or user operation) with the new widget (711). For example, user interaction (or user operation) may include the execution of an application, a change in the orientation of the electronic device (101), and / or touch input to the new widget (711).

[0130] In one embodiment, the electronic device (101) may generate a widget that provides additional information associated with the new widget (711) through the AI ​​module (320) in accordance with user input (e.g., press input) for the new widget (711). For example, the electronic device (101) may generate a widget that provides additional information associated with a selected object through the AI ​​module (320) in accordance with user input (e.g., press input) for any one of the one or more objects included in the new widget (711). In one embodiment, the additional information may be information regarding the task sequence (e.g., departure to a destination, ordering at a destination, return from a destination to a starting point) of basic information (e.g., schedule information) associated with the new widget (711). For example, referring to FIG. 7b, the electronic device (101) can generate a widget (715) associated with an object (720) based on user input (730) for an object (720) of a new widget (711) generated by the AI ​​module (320). For example, if the object (720) represents a travel time to a destination, the AI ​​module (320) can generate a widget (715) for suggesting one or more means of travel to the destination. For example, if the object (720) represents information about the destination (e.g., restaurant name), the AI ​​module (320) can generate a widget (715) for providing detailed information about the destination (e.g., menu). For example, if the object (720) represents information about an attendee (e.g., name), the AI ​​module (320) can generate a widget (715) for providing detailed information about the attendee and / or contact information.

[0131] For example, the AI ​​module (320) may display a new widget (715) instead of the second widget (615) within the second widget area (215). For example, referring to FIG. 7c, when the new widget (715) is displayed instead of the second widget (615), the new widget (715) may be displayed in place of the second widget (615) through an animation in which the new widget (715) pushes out the second widget (615). For example, the new widget (715) pushing out the second widget (615) may include the second widget (615) moving in a specific direction (e.g., from bottom to top) while simultaneously the new widget (715) emerges from below in a specific direction (e.g., from bottom to top). Accordingly, the electronic device (101) may display the second widget (615) in place of the new widget (715) in response to a downward swipe input to the second widget area (215) where the new widget (715) is displayed. For example, the AI ​​module (320) may display the widget (715) in place of the second widget (615) through an animation when the new widget (715) associated with the widget (711) exists (e.g., when the new widget (715) is not displayed but is in a generated state).

[0132] For example, referring to the states (705, 707) of FIG. 7d, the electronic device (101) may display a new screen (740) on the display (260) instead of the screen (411) based on a change in the posture of the electronic device (101) (e.g., change from landscape posture to portrait posture). For example, the electronic device (101) may display a new screen (740) on the display (260) instead of the screen (411) based on the release of the mounting state of the electronic device (101). In one embodiment, the new screen (740) may include a screen (740) generated by the AI ​​module (320) and / or a screen (740) generated by another application as instructed by the AI ​​module (320). For example, as it is identified that the user is gripping the electronic device (101) through the grip sensor, the electronic device (101) can be determined to be released from the mounting state of the electronic device (101).

[0133] For example, the new screen (740) may include one or more areas (741, 743, 745, 747, 749). Each of the one or more areas (741, 743, 745, 747, 749) may be associated with content included in the widget (711). For example, area (741) may include schedule information that caused the creation of the widget (711). For example, area (743) may include information for contacting attendees included in the schedule information, and / or objects (e.g., icons of messenger applications, and / or icons of phone applications). For example, area (745) may include information indicating a route to a destination included in the schedule information, and / or information suggesting a means of transportation to the destination (e.g., icons indicating means of transportation). For example, the area (747) may include information indicating the menu of the destination included in the schedule information (e.g., menu and / or price). For example, the area (749) may include weather information according to the schedule information (e.g., weather at the destination and / or weather at a point in time after the appointment).

[0134] For example, a portion of the new screen (740) may be displayed within the display (260). For example, a portion of the new screen (740) corresponding to the size of the display (260) may be displayed within the display (260). For example, the new screen (740) may be scrolled within the display (260).

[0135] In one embodiment, the electronic device (101) may display a screen (411) on the display (260) instead of a new screen (740) based on a change in the posture of the electronic device (101) (e.g., changing from a portrait posture to a landscape posture). For example, the electronic device (101) may display a screen (411) on the display (260) instead of a new screen (740) based on a change in the state of the electronic device (101) to a mounted state.

[0136] FIG. 8 is a drawing illustrating an example of a screen displayed by an electronic device according to one embodiment.

[0137] FIG. 8 can be explained with reference to FIGS. 1 to 7d.

[0138] Referring to the state (801) of FIG. 8, the widget screen (811) may include an object (821) (e.g., a pin) for fixing the screen. For example, the electronic device (101) may maintain the display of the widget screen (811) for a specified length of time as the object (821) is activated (e.g., the pin is fixed). For example, as no user interaction (or touch input to the electronic device (101)) is detected during the specified time, the electronic device (101) may switch the widget screen (811) to an always-on-display (AoD) screen (815) (hereinafter referred to as the AoD screen).

[0139] For example, referring to the state (803) of FIG. 8, the AoD screen (815) may be a screen for low-power operation of the electronic device (101). The AoD screen (815) may include a background screen of a specified color (e.g., black, or a color of a specified color value (e.g., RGB 205 or less). In one embodiment, low-power operation of the electronic device (101) may include the processor (120) of the electronic device (101) being operated in a low-power state (e.g., the operating frequency of the processor (120) being lowered and / or some of the processors of the processor (120) entering a sleep state). In one embodiment, low-power operation of the electronic device (101) may include the display (260) of the electronic device (101) being operated in a low-power state (e.g., the screen refresh cycle displayed on the display (260) being extended and / or the brightness of the display (260) being reduced). In one embodiment, the AoD screen (815) may be moved finely within the display (260) to prevent and / or reduce burn-in of the display (260).

[0140] In one embodiment, the electronic device (101) may switch the widget screen (811) to an AoD screen (815) after displaying the widget screen (811) for a specified time while the electronic device (101) obtains power (or charges) from an external electronic device (301) and / or while the electronic device (101) is in a stationary state.

[0141] In one embodiment, the electronic device (101) may switch the widget screen (811) to a lock screen (515) (or a general AoD screen) after displaying the widget screen (811) for a specified time when the electronic device (101) does not obtain power from an external electronic device (301) or / or when the state of the electronic device (101) is not in a stationary state. In one embodiment, the electronic device (101) may switch the widget screen (811) to a lock screen (515) (or a general AoD screen) when the object (821) is deactivated (e.g., the pin is released). In one embodiment, the general AoD screen may be a screen in which the color of the lock screen (515) is converted to a specified color (e.g., black, or a color of a specified color value (e.g., RGB 205 or less).

[0142] In one embodiment, the electronic device (101) can switch the AoD screen (815) to a lock screen (515) (or a normal AoD screen) when an object (821) is deactivated (e.g., the pin is released) while the AoD screen (815) is being displayed.

[0143] For example, when the lock screen (515) is displayed, the widget screen (811) may be located on page -1 of the lock screen (515). For example, the widget screen (811) being located on page -1 of the lock screen (515) may indicate that it is located on a page at a specific position (e.g., left position) among the pages movable from the lock screen (515). For example, when the lock screen (515) is displayed, the electronic device (101) may display the widget screen (811) instead of the lock screen (515) in response to a swipe input from left to right of the lock screen (515).

[0144] FIG. 9 is a flowchart illustrating the operation of an electronic device according to one embodiment.

[0145] FIG. 9 may be described with reference to FIGS. 1 through 8. The operations of FIG. 9 may be performed by the electronic device (101) while a specified condition is satisfied. For example, the specified condition may be a condition for displaying a widget screen (210) including two widget areas (211, 215) through the display (260). For example, the electronic device (101) may determine that the specified condition is satisfied based on turning on the display (260) while the electronic device (101) is in a locked state. For example, the electronic device (101) may determine that the specified condition is satisfied based on turning on the display (260) while the electronic device (101) is in a charging state. 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 restricted execution of applications other than allowed applications. In one embodiment, restricted access to the electronic device (101) may include restricted 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.

[0146] Referring to FIG. 9, in operation 910, the electronic device (101) may display a widget screen (210) comprising two widget areas (211, 215). In one embodiment, a first widget (611) of an application (311) may be displayed in the first widget area (211) of the two widget areas (211, 215). In one embodiment, a second widget (615) of an application (312) may be displayed in the second widget area (215) of the two widget areas (211, 215). In one embodiment, the application (311) and the application (312) may be different applications. However, the embodiment is not limited thereto. For example, the application (311) and the application (312) may be the same application. In this case, the first widget (611) and the second widget (615) may be different widgets created by the same application. For example, the first widget (611) and the second widget (615) may be different widgets of the same application that display different content.

[0147] In one embodiment, the electronic device (101) may display a widget screen (210) including two widget areas (211, 215) in a hub mode. In one embodiment, the hub mode may represent a state (or mode) in which screens (210, 240, 250) including the widget screen (210) (or an AoD screen switched from the widget screen (210)) are displayed.

[0148] In operation 920, the electronic device (101) can determine whether an event is identified. In one embodiment, the event may be an event that causes the AI ​​module (320) to create a new widget. For example, the new widget may be a widget that is distinct from a first set of widgets set to be selectively displayed for a first widget area (211) and / or a second set of widgets set to be selectively displayed for a second widget area (215). For example, the new widget may be a widget that is not set to be selectively displayed for the first widget area (211) and / or the second widget area (215).

[0149] In one embodiment, the electronic device (101) can determine whether an event is identified based on user data (330), device data (340), and / or application data (350).

[0150] In one embodiment, the electronic device (101) can determine whether an event is identified based on user data (330), device data (340), and / or application data (350). For example, the electronic device (101) can identify an event to create a widget to guide the user's schedule as the user's schedule is identified. For example, the electronic device (101) can identify an event to create a widget associated with a mode (or routine) of the electronic device (101) as the electronic device (101) is located at a specified location, and / or the current time is a specified time. In one embodiment, the mode (or routine) of the electronic device (101) may be in a state where functions related to do not disturb, app usage restriction, power consumption (e.g., sleep mode), and / or sound mode (or volume) are set according to current activity, location, or situation. For example, a mode (or routine) may include modes for sleep, movie theater, driving, exercise, rest, or work.

[0151] In operation 920, as an event is identified, the electronic device (101) can perform operation 930. In operation 920, as an event is not identified, the electronic device (101) can perform operation 910 again.

[0152] In operation 930, the electronic device (101) can generate a widget through the AI ​​module (320). For example, the AI ​​module (320) can generate the widget directly or indirectly by instructing the generation of the widget through an associated application. In one embodiment, the associated application may be a schedule application for recording schedule information. In one embodiment, the associated application may be an application for providing traffic information for traveling to a destination. In one embodiment, the associated application may be an application for providing the weather of the destination.

[0153] In operation 940, the electronic device (101) may display the generated widget instead of the widget displayed in either of the two widget regions (211, 215). In one embodiment, the electronic device (101) may display the generated widget instead of the widget displayed in either of the first widget region (211) and / or the second widget region (215), based on the association with the generated widget. In one embodiment, the electronic device (101) may display the generated widget in the widget region where the widget having the lower association between the first association and the second association is displayed. For example, the electronic device (101) may display the generated widget instead of the first widget (611) in the first widget region (211). When the generated widget is displayed instead of the first widget (611), the generated widget may be displayed through an animation in which the generated widget pushes the first widget (611).

[0154] FIG. 10 is a flowchart illustrating the operation of an electronic device according to one embodiment.

[0155] FIG. 10 can be explained with reference to FIGS. 1 to 9.

[0156] Referring to FIG. 10, in operation 1010, the electronic device (101) can identify the state of the electronic device (101). For example, the electronic device (101) can identify the state of the electronic device (101) through a sensor (376). For example, the state of the electronic device (101) can indicate whether the electronic device (101) is charged. For example, the state of the electronic device (101) can indicate the position of the electronic device (101). For example, the state of the electronic device (101) can indicate whether the electronic device (101) is mounted.

[0157] In operation 1020, the electronic device (101) can determine whether the electronic device (101) is in a mounted state. In one embodiment, the mounted state of the electronic device (101) may indicate a state in which the user is not holding the electronic device (101), identified through a grip sensor. In one embodiment, the mounted state of the electronic device (101) may indicate an upright state of the electronic device (101) (e.g., a state in which the direction of the display (260) is not parallel to the ground), identified through a gyro sensor.

[0158] Based on the state of the electronic device (101) being in a mounted state in operation 1020, the electronic device (101) can perform operation 1030. Based on the state of the electronic device (101) not being in a mounted state in operation 1020, the electronic device (101) can perform operation 1070.

[0159] In operation 1030, the electronic device (101) may display a screen according to the hub mode. For example, the electronic device (101) may display a widget screen (210) including two widget areas (211, 215). However, the embodiment is not limited thereto. For example, the electronic device (101) may display a screen (240) displaying a photo, and / or a screen (250) displaying a clock (e.g., a digital or analog clock).

[0160] In operation 1040, the electronic device (101) can determine whether the screen display is set to be maintained.

[0161] For example, the electronic device (101) can determine whether the object (821) is in an active state (e.g., fixed pin) while the widget screen (210) is displayed. For example, the electronic device (101) can determine whether the object (821) is in an active state (e.g., fixed pin) while the widget screen (210) is displayed.

[0162] For example, the electronic device (101) can determine that the screen display is set to be maintained when the widget screen (210) is displayed and the object (821) is activated (e.g., pin fixed). For example, the electronic device (101) can determine that the screen display is not maintained when the widget screen (210) is not displayed (e.g., screens (240, 250) are displayed) and / or the object (821) is deactivated (e.g., pin unfixed).

[0163] Based on the setting that the screen display is maintained in operation 1040, the electronic device (101) can perform operation 1050. Based on the setting that the screen display is not maintained in operation 1040, the electronic device (101) can perform operation 1060.

[0164] In operation 1050, the electronic device (101) can display an Always on Display (AoD) screen (815) according to the hub mode. For example, referring to state (803) of FIG. 8, the AoD screen (815) may be a screen for low-power operation of the electronic device (101). The AoD screen (815) may include a background screen of a specified color (e.g., black, or a color of a specified color value (e.g., RGB 205 or less).

[0165] In operation 1060, the electronic device (101) may display an AoD screen according to a normal mode. In one embodiment, the normal mode may indicate a state (or mode) in which a lock screen (or an AoD screen switched from the lock screen) is displayed. For example, the electronic device (101) may display an AoD screen in which the color of the lock screen (511) of FIG. 5a or the lock screen (515) of FIG. 5b is converted to a specified color (e.g., black, or a color of a specified color value (e.g., RGB 205 or less).

[0166] In operation 1070, the electronic device (101) can determine whether to display a screen according to the hub mode. For example, the electronic device (101) can determine whether to maintain the display of the widget screen (210) while the electronic device (101) is not in a mounted state.

[0167] For example, the electronic device (101) may decide to display a widget generated by the AI ​​module (320) while the electronic device (101) is in a mounted state, and then, when the mounted state of the electronic device (101) is released, display a screen according to the hub mode to maintain the display of the widget generated by the AI ​​module (320).

[0168] For example, the electronic device (101) may decide to display a screen according to normal mode when the AI ​​module (320) does not display a widget generated in the mounting state of the electronic device (101).

[0169] Based on the determination in operation 1070 that a screen according to hub mode is displayed, the electronic device (101) can perform operation 1030. Based on the determination in operation 1070 that a screen according to hub mode is not displayed, the electronic device (101) can perform operation 1080.

[0170] In operation 1080, the electronic device (101) may display a screen according to a normal mode. In one embodiment, the electronic device (101) may display the lock screen (511) of FIG. 5a or the lock screen (515) of FIG. 5b.

[0171] FIG. 11a is a flowchart illustrating the operation of an electronic device according to one embodiment. FIG. 11b is a diagram illustrating the operation of an electronic device processing data according to one embodiment.

[0172] FIGS. 11a and FIGS. 11b can be described with reference to FIGS. 1 through 10.
