An electronic including a transceiver configured to receive, from at least one wearable device, information indicating whether the at least one wearable device is being worn; and a processor configured to determine whether the at least one wearable device that is being worn, based on the received information indicating whether the at least one wearable device is being worn, and to provide a notification to the at least one wearable device in response to determining that the at least one wearable device is being worn.

Method and apparatus for providing notification

An example method of providing an activity notification is provided. The method includes registering, by the device, information about the activity notification according to a request for registering the activity notification, and transmitting, by the device, the registered information about the activity notification to a management device, wherein the management device performs a process of providing the activity notification.

Method of providing activity notification and device thereof

An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes: a transceiver configured to communicate with at least one wearable device and receive, from the at least one wearable device, status information indicating whether the at least one wearable device is currently being worn; and a processor configured to determine whether to send a notification request to the at least one wearable device based on the status information received by the transceiver.

A wearable device worn on a body of a user is provided. The wearable device includes a sensing unit configured to sense state information of the user, a touch input unit configured to receive a touch input from the user, a controller configured to select at least one of a plurality of strings based on the state information when the touch input is received, a display configured to display the selected at least one string, and a communicator configured to transmit a message including the at least one string to a receiver device.

Wearable device for transmitting a message comprising strings associated with a state of a user

A method of performing a function of a device based on motion information of the device in a standby mode of the device, a device for performing the method are provided. The device includes a sensor configured to detect movement of the device in a standby mode of the device; a storage configured to store motion information based on information related to the movement and at least one piece of function information corresponding to the motion information; and a processor configured to control the device to perform a function corresponding to the motion information in the standby mode based on the information related to the movement, the motion information, and the at least one piece of function information.

Method of performing function of device and device for performing the method

A method of providing an activity notification is provided. The method includes registering, by the device, information about the activity notification according to a request for registering the activity notification, and transmitting, by the device, the registered information about the activity notification to a management device, wherein the management device performs a process of providing the activity notification.

A content reproduction device includes a processor configured to request the server via the communicator for recommended content information in response to setting a content recommendation mode, receive the recommended content information from the server via the communicator, determine content based on the recommended content information and information regarding a user of the content reproduction device, and determine whether the user has reproduction authorization regarding the determined content. When determining that the user has no reproduction authorization regarding the determined content, the processor is configured to control the display to display a user interface for purchasing the reproduction authorization regarding the determined content, receive the determined content via the communicator from the server in response to receiving a user input for purchasing the reproduction authorization based on the user interface, and control the display to display the received content.

Content providing method and device

An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes: a transceiver configured to receive, from at least one wearable device, information indicating whether the at least one wearable device is being worn; and a processor configured to determine whether the at least one wearable device that is being worn, based on the received information indicating whether the at least one wearable device is being worn, and to provide a notification to the at least one wearable device in response to determining that the at least one wearable device is being worn.
