Electronic device with enhanced method of displaying notifications

摘要

There is disclosed an electronic device comprising a receiver, a display, an application processor and a sensor hub. The receiver is configured to receive notifications from a remote device. The display is configured to provide information including notifications. The application processor and the sensor hub are in communication with the display. The application processor is configured to provide instructions for displaying full screen information at the display during a non-sleep mode of the electronic device. The full screen information includes a first notification associated with information received by the electronic device during the non-sleep mode. The sensor hub is configured to provide instructions for displaying partial screen information at the display during a sleep mode of the electronic device. The partial screen information includes a second notification associated with information received by the electronic device during the sleep mode.

主权项

1. A method comprising:
while an electronic device operates in a higher-power mode of operation:
controlling, by at least one application processor of the electronic device, and while consuming a first amount of power, a display of the electronic device to present an image of a notification; andtransitioning, by the at least one application processor of the electronic device, from operating the electronic device in a higher-power mode of operation to operating the electronic device in a lower-power mode of operation; while the electronic device operates in the lower-power mode of operation:
controlling, by a sensor hub of the electronic device, independent of the at least one application processor and while consuming a second amount of power that is less than the first amount of power, the display to present a portion of the image of the notification;responsive to determining that a condition of the electronic device is met, transitioning, by the sensor hub, independent of the at least one application processor, from operating the electronic device in the lower-power mode of operation to operating the electronic device in an off-mode of operation; while the electronic device operates in the off-mode of operation:
controlling, by the sensor hub, independent of the at least one application processor and while consuming a third amount of power that is less than the second amount of power, the display so as to cease presenting the portion of the image of the notification;responsive to determining that the condition of the electronic device is no longer met, transitioning, by the sensor hub, independent of the at least one application processor, from operating the electronic device in the off-mode to operating the electronic device in the lower-power mode to resume controlling, independent of the at least one application processor, the display to present the portion of the image of the notification.
