Description

Event reminding method and device

Technical field

The present invention relates to the field of communications, and in particular to an event reminding method and apparatus.

Background technique

With the development of technology, different terminals can simultaneously handle the same event. For example, mobile phones and smart wearable devices (such as smart watches) can receive the same SMS reminder at the same time, because the mobile phone is receiving After the new event, according to the settings, the watch will be sent a reminder to synchronize the new event reminder on the mobile phone to the smart wearable device for prompting, so when the mobile phone receives a new event, it needs to initiate Bluetooth transmission to send the event to the watch; or according to the account When multiple devices logging in to the same account receive a new event, they will be prompted at the same time.

Moreover, because the screen is limited, the smart watch can handle more transactions, so if you receive a new event (voice, small video, etc.) that is not suitable for watch processing, especially in an inappropriate scene (such as the phone is clearly also the owner) After being pushed to the watch, the user still needs to operate the mobile phone again. This kind of push information reminder is redundant or useless to the user; and although theoretically, there is also a function of making a call, but based on the speaker. The way of calling is not suitable in public.

When the mobile phone is placed in a close-fitting pocket or pinched on the hand, it can sense the vibration prompt or the sound prompt; but once it is in the bag or placed in other places far away from the human body, it depends on the synchronization of the smart watch. prompt;

Apple has enhanced the continuous interworking between devices in the iOS8 system and OS X Yosemite system, which is the Handoff function. Once a call comes in, iPhone, iPad, and Mac can receive it, including when the iPhone receives a new event reminder (ie, a call alert), it will transmit a new event reminder message to the iPad and Mac via Bluetooth, thus making it more Each device reminds the same event, and the user can select a device to answer the call. Similarly, iMessage is also the same, several devices can receive information, the way to receive information is the same as the above reminder, which device is at hand, which device can be used to reply. Sounds like a nice feature, especially when you're on a Mac and your phone isn't around. However, if a call comes in, the three devices will sound at the same time or in succession. Sometimes it happens that you have already picked up the phone with one device, and the other two devices may continue to ring for a few seconds. Just a phone call, it becomes a "symphony performance" in some scenes, it will affect the normal work of the people around. It can be seen from the above reminding manner that when multiple devices are reminded of the same event, it is required to involve Bluetooth transmission. When there are multiple alarm events to be alerted, multiple Bluetooth transmissions are involved. Therefore, in the related art, The time reminder method requires frequent Bluetooth transmission.

The above-mentioned event reminding scheme in the related art may cause Bluetooth transmission to be frequent, and frequent Bluetooth wake-up and data transmission may be more expensive, and in many practical use scenarios, such notification push is not reasonable. At the same time, the same account device reminder will also disturb the user to a certain extent.

A plurality of devices existing in the related art simultaneously perform event reminding for the same event, thereby causing excessive power consumption and affecting users' problems, and no effective solution has been proposed yet.
