An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a housing including a front surface and a rear surface, a display, a communication circuit, at least one processor, and a memory. The memory stores instructions which, when executed, cause the at least one processor to receive a signal from outside of the electronic device using the communication circuit, in response to receiving the signal, display a user interface on an elongated region that extends along at least one edge region of the display, and display at least one content corresponding to the signal, while displaying the user interface or after displaying the user interface.

The present invention provides a system for managing and disabling phone ring tone profiles, the system comprising: a storage system comprising (a) a plurality of ringtones adapted to be activated when an incoming call is made; (b) at least one list of identified callers to execute at least one data processing system, said at least one data processing system comprising: an acquiring module operable to read an identifier of said incoming call or an incoming message; a detecting module operable to detect if the identifier exists in said at least one list in the system, to determine the caller from said list, and to detect how many incoming calls have been made within a predetermined period of time and a disabling module adapted to either activate or disable said ringtones.

Provided is a mobile terminal having a sensor detecting movement thereof and an event processing method. The mobile terminal includes: an orientation detector for monitoring, in response to detection of an event, movement of the mobile terminal for a preset time duration to identify an orientation of the mobile terminal; and a controller for processing the event in an operating mode corresponding to the identified orientation. As a result, the user can readily switch operating modes of the mobile terminal by changing orientations thereof.

A method and an apparatus for controlling an interrupt in a portable terminal are provided. The method includes executing an application based on user's control, determining whether an event occurs during the application execution, displaying information representing the event occurrence on a screen while continuing the application execution, and determining whether to interrupt the application by the event based on user's control.

A mobile electronic device according to an embodiment includes an annunciator that performs notification about an event, and a controller that causes the annunciator to perform the notification about the event when a lifting operation that lifts the mobile electronic device has been detected. A mobile electronic device includes an annunciator performing notification about an event, and a controller causing the annunciator to perform the notification about the event when it is detected that the mobile electronic device has made a transition to a handheld state.

An electronic device and a method for performing a function in the electronic device are provided. The method includes recognizing that the electronic device is at a first state, the first state including that the electronic device is in an overturned state or that a predetermined amount of a display is covered; detecting a specific event in the first state; outputting a color notification associated with the detected specific event through at least a portion of the display, the portion of the display wrapping around a side edge of the electronic device; receiving a specific user input corresponding to the color notification, while outputting the color notification; and performing a function associated with the received specific user input.

The present invention provides a system for managing and disabling phone ring tone profiles, the system comprising: a storage system comprising (a) a plurality of ringtones adapted to be activated when an incoming call is made; (b) at least one list of identified callers to execute at least one data processing system, said at least one data processing system comprising: an acquiring module operable to read an identifier of said incoming call or an incoming message; a detecting module operable to detect if the identifier exists in said at least one list in the system, to determine the caller from said list, and to detect how many incoming calls have been made within a predetermined period of time and a disabling module adapted to either activate or disable said ringtones.

Disclosed is a display device and a method for implementing an incoming notification function with respect to an MHL signal source. The display device includes: a control module, configured to control, when the display device is in a non MHL signal source pattern, a first MHL interface transfer switch, disposed between a signal decoding processor and an MHL signal source interface of the display device, to be on, and configured to start a background monitoring module electrically connected to the first MHL interface transfer switch, and further configured to display, if an MHL signal source is monitored to be connected, incoming reminder information according to a pre-configured incoming notification information or switch a current signal source pattern of the display device to be the MHL signal source pattern; and the background monitoring module, configured to monitor whether the MHL signal source is connected.

Audible alerts are suppressed for subsequent calls from a calling address. An initial audible alert is processed for an initial call from the calling address. Subsequent audible alerts from the same calling address are suppressed, such that subsequent calls from the calling address may fail to alert. Visual alerts may still be processed.

A method includes determining, at a communication device, a designation of a source communication device based on information related to a communication from the source communication device. The method further includes selecting, at the communication device and based on the designation, a prompt from multiple prompts. The prompt includes a first prompt in response to the designation being a first designation of multiple designations. The prompt includes a second prompt in response to the designation being a second designation of the multiple designations. The method includes sending the prompt from the communication device to the source communication device.
