Description

Message notification method and electronic equipment

Technical Field

The present application relates to the field of electronic devices, and in particular, to a message notification method and an electronic device.

Background

Currently, electronic devices such as mobile phones and the like are provided with notification panels (notification panels) for displaying messages received by operating systems or applications. Taking a mobile phone as an example, as shown in fig. 1 (a), the mobile phone can simultaneously display a status bar 1001 when displaying applications such as a desktop. The status bar 1001 may display time, power, signal strength, bluetooth status, and operator name.

If it is detected that the user performs a pull-down operation on the status bar 1001, as shown in (b) of fig. 1, the cellular phone may display a pull-down menu 1002. When messages for a system or application are present in the handset, the handset may display the messages in the notification bar 1003 of the drop-down menu 1002 for the user to browse.

As the display screen of electronic equipment such as a mobile phone becomes longer and larger, if a user holds the mobile phone with one hand, the pull-down operation is difficult, which results in poor user experience.

Disclosure of Invention

The embodiment of the application provides a message notification method and electronic equipment, and the problem that a notification bar is not convenient to pull down when a user holds the electronic equipment with one hand can be solved.

In order to achieve the above purpose, the embodiment of the present application adopts the following technical solutions:

in a first aspect, the present application provides a message notification method, which is applied to an electronic device, where the electronic device includes a first display screen and a second display screen. The message notification method comprises the following steps: the electronic equipment displays the notification bubble on the first display screen, and then displays the notification bubble on the second display screen if the electronic equipment determines that the preset condition is met. The notification bubble is used for prompting the user that a message to be viewed exists. The preset conditions include: the electronic equipment receives a hiding indication operation, wherein the hiding indication operation is used for indicating the first display screen to hide the notification bubble; or the electronic equipment does not receive the operation for processing the notification bubble, and the time length of the notification bubble displayed on the first display screen exceeds the preset time length.

In this manner, a notification bubble is displayed on the first display screen to alert the user that a new message exists. Even if the user holds the electronic device with one hand, the notification bubble in the first display screen can be processed by the thumb, such as clicking the notification bubble in the first display screen or sliding the notification bubble in the first display screen. When the electronic device determines that the preset condition is met, if the electronic device receives a hiding indication operation to indicate the first display screen to hide the notification bubble, for example, the electronic device does not receive an operation for processing the notification bubble, and the time length of the notification bubble displayed on the first display screen exceeds the preset time length, the electronic device displays the notification bubble on the second display screen. Because the notification bubble of the first display screen can be automatically hidden, or the notification bubble is hidden by the first display screen in response to the hidden indication information received by the electronic equipment, the time that the notification bubble shields the original display interface of the electronic equipment is reduced, and the immersive experience of a user is enhanced. Because the notice bubble can be shown in the second display screen, the user can see the notice bubble on the second display screen by turning over the mobile phone, so that the reminding effect of the visual layer can be realized, and the user is prevented from forgetting to check the message.

In one possible implementation manner, the message to be viewed includes a first message and a second message, the first message belongs to the first application, and the second message belongs to the second application. The electronic equipment displays the notification bubble on a first display screen, and comprises: the electronic device hovers a notification bubble of the first application and a notification bubble of the second application on a top layer of the first display screen. The notification bubble of the first application and the notification bubble of the second application are not mutually blocked, or the notification bubble of the first application blocks a part of the notification bubble of the second application.

Illustratively, the first message may be a message for a Short Messaging Service (SMS) application, and the second message may be a message for a wechat application. A Short Messaging Service (SMS) application is a first application and a wechat application is a second application. In this manner, the first display screen displays a notification bubble for a different application to prompt the user that the application identified by the notification bubble has a new message.

In one possible implementation manner, the message to be viewed includes a first message and a second message, the first message belongs to the first application, and the second message belongs to the second application. The electronic equipment displays the notification bubble on a second display screen, and comprises: the electronic device hovers a notification bubble of the first application and a notification bubble of the second application on a top layer of the second display screen. The notification bubble of the first application and the notification bubble of the second application are not mutually blocked, or the notification bubble of the first application blocks a part of the notification bubble of the second application. In this manner, the second display screen displays a notification bubble for a different application to prompt the user to notify the application identified by the bubble of a new message.

In one possible implementation, the time when the electronic device receives the first message is later than the time when the electronic device receives the second message; alternatively, the priority of the first application is higher than the priority of the second application. Therefore, the electronic equipment suspends the notification bubble of the application to which the newly received message belongs in the top layer, or suspends the notification bubble of the application with high priority in the top layer without being blocked by other notification bubbles, so that the user is prompted to have a new message to be viewed in real time, or the user is prevented from forgetting to view the message of the application with high priority.

In one possible implementation, the preset time length corresponds to a priority of an application to which the message to be viewed belongs. For example, the higher the priority of the application is, the larger the value of the preset time length corresponding to the notification bubble is, so that the time for the notification bubble corresponding to the application to stay on the first display screen is longer, thereby achieving a better prompt effect.

In a possible implementation manner, after the electronic device displays the notification bubble on the first display screen and before the electronic device displays the notification bubble on the second display screen, the message notification method in the embodiment of the application further includes that the electronic device gradually hides the notification bubble from an edge of the first display screen. Therefore, the electronic equipment reduces the area of the notification bubble for shielding the original display interface in a gradual recession mode to prompt a user that the notification bubble is to be displayed on the second display screen, so that the user experience is improved.

In a possible implementation manner, the message notification method according to the embodiment of the present application further includes: the electronic equipment displays a first indication frame on a first display screen. The first indication frame bears the notification bubble, the width of the first indication frame becomes narrow along with gradual recession of the notification bubble, and the first indication frame is used for indicating that the notification bubble is to be displayed on the second display screen.

In a possible implementation manner, after the electronic device receives a new message, the message notification method according to the embodiment of the present application further includes: and the electronic equipment determines to display the notification bubble on the second display screen according to the running state of the current application and/or the operation habit of the user.

For example, the running status of the application may refer to whether the electronic device is running a specific class of application, and the specific class of application may be an application set by the user according to the user's own needs, such as but not limited to a game class application.

For example, the operation habit of the user may refer to: and when the electronic equipment runs different applications, the electronic equipment receives the operation habits of the user. Taking the reading application as an example, the operation habit of the user may be: the user inputs the type of operation or the time interval to the electronic device.

In a possible implementation manner, after the electronic device displays the notification bubble on the second display screen, the message notification method in the embodiment of the application further includes: the electronic equipment receives the call-out instruction operation, and responds to the call-out instruction operation, and the electronic equipment displays the notification bubble on the first display screen again. Therefore, the user can conveniently click the notification bubble displayed on the top layer of the first display screen to browse new messages.

In one possible implementation manner, the electronic device receives an arousal instruction operation, and the arousal instruction operation includes: the electronic equipment receives the call-out instruction operation through the first display screen or the second display screen. Wherein the call-out instruction operation is a slide operation.

In one possible implementation manner, the operation area for calling out the indication operation received by the first display screen comprises a partial area of the first indication frame; the partial area of the first indication frame is displayed on the first display screen after the notification bubble is gradually hidden from the edge of the first display screen.

In one possible implementation manner, in response to the call-out instruction operation, the electronic device redisplays the notification bubble on the first display screen, and the method includes: in response to the call-out instruction operation, the electronic device displays a notification bubble within a second instruction frame displayed on the first display screen. The second indication frame is used for indicating that the notification bubble is displayed on the second display screen before the electronic equipment responds to the call-out indication operation.

In one possible implementation, the number of notification bubbles is plural. The electronic equipment displays the notification bubble in a second indication frame displayed on the first display screen, and comprises: the electronic device displays a plurality of notification bubbles or displays a partial number of notification bubbles in the plurality of notification bubbles within the second indication frame displayed on the first display screen, and other notification bubbles in the plurality of notification bubbles are hidden. In this manner, the user is facilitated to determine which applications have messages to view based on the notification bubble.

In one possible implementation, the receiving time of the to-be-viewed message corresponding to the hidden notification bubble is later than the receiving time of the to-be-viewed message corresponding to the displayed notification bubble.

In a possible implementation manner, after the electronic device displays a partial number of notification bubbles in the plurality of notification bubbles in the second indication frame displayed on the first display screen and other notification bubbles in the plurality of notification bubbles are hidden, the message notification method in the embodiment of the application further includes: the electronic equipment receives the display indication operation, and in response to the display indication operation, the electronic equipment displays a plurality of notification bubbles in a rolling mode in turn in the second indication frame. In this way, it is convenient for the user to browse which applications have messages to view.

In a possible implementation manner, after the electronic device displays the notification bubble on the first display screen again in response to the call-out instruction operation, the message notification method according to the embodiment of the present application further includes: when the electronic equipment determines that the preset condition is met, the electronic equipment enables the first display screen to hide the notification bubble, and the notification bubble is displayed on the second display screen again, so that the time that the notification bubble shields the display interface is shortened, and the immersive experience of a user is improved.

In a possible implementation manner, after the electronic device displays the notification bubble on the second display screen, the message notification method in the embodiment of the application further includes: and the electronic equipment receives the click operation through the second display screen, and responds to the click operation, and the electronic equipment displays the target message. Wherein the click operation acts on the notification bubble of the second display screen. The target message is a message to be viewed which informs the bubble to prompt the user to exist. Therefore, the user can directly execute corresponding click operation in the second display screen, namely, the user can browse corresponding new messages, and the user can use the message conveniently.

A memory may also be provided in processor 110 for storing instructions and data. In some embodiments, the memory in the processor 110 is a cache memory. The memory may hold instructions or data that have just been used or recycled by the processor 110. If the processor 110 needs to reuse the instruction or data, it can be called directly from the memory. Avoiding repeated accesses reduces the latency of the processor 110, thereby increasing the efficiency of the system.

In some embodiments, processor 110 may include one or more interfaces. The interface may include an integrated circuit (I2C) interface, an integrated circuit built-in audio (I2S) interface, a Pulse Code Modulation (PCM) interface, a universal asynchronous receiver/transmitter (UART) interface, a Mobile Industry Processor Interface (MIPI), a general-purpose input/output (GPIO) interface, a Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) interface, and/or a Universal Serial Bus (USB) interface, etc.

The charging management module 140 is configured to receive charging input from a charger. The charger may be a wireless charger or a wired charger. In some wired charging embodiments, the charging management module 140 may receive charging input from a wired charger via the USB interface 130. In some wireless charging embodiments, the charging management module 140 may receive a wireless charging input through a wireless charging coil of the electronic device 100. The charging management module 140 may also supply power to the electronic device through the power management module 141 while charging the battery 142.

The wireless communication function of the electronic device 100 may be implemented by the antenna 1, the antenna 2, the mobile communication module 150, the wireless communication module 160, a modem processor, a baseband processor, and the like.

The

antennas

1 and 2 are used for transmitting and receiving electromagnetic wave signals. Each antenna in the electronic device 100 may be used to cover a single or multiple communication bands. Different antennas can also be multiplexed to improve the utilization of the antennas. For example: the antenna 1 may be multiplexed as a diversity antenna of a wireless local area network. In other embodiments, the antenna may be used in conjunction with a tuning switch.

The mobile communication module 150 may provide a solution including 2G/3G/4G/5G wireless communication applied to the electronic device 100. The mobile communication module 150 may include one or more filters, switches, power amplifiers, Low Noise Amplifiers (LNAs), and the like. The mobile communication module 150 may receive the electromagnetic wave from the antenna 1, filter, amplify, etc. the received electromagnetic wave, and transmit the electromagnetic wave to the modem processor for demodulation. The mobile communication module 150 may also amplify the signal modulated by the modem processor, and convert the signal into electromagnetic wave through the antenna 1 to radiate the electromagnetic wave. In some embodiments, at least some of the functional modules of the mobile communication module 150 may be disposed in the processor 110. In some embodiments, at least some of the functional modules of the mobile communication module 150 may be disposed in the same device as at least some of the modules of the processor 110.

The modem processor may include a modulator and a demodulator. The modulator is used for modulating a low-frequency baseband signal to be transmitted into a medium-high frequency signal. The demodulator is used for demodulating the received electromagnetic wave signal into a low-frequency baseband signal. The demodulator then passes the demodulated low frequency baseband signal to a baseband processor for processing. The low frequency baseband signal is processed by the baseband processor and then transferred to the application processor. The application processor outputs a sound signal through an audio device (not limited to the speaker 170A, the receiver 170B, etc.) or displays an image or video through the display screen 194. In some embodiments, the modem processor may be a stand-alone device. In other embodiments, the modem processor may be provided in the same device as the mobile communication module 150 or other functional modules, independent of the processor 110.

The wireless communication module 160 may provide a solution for wireless communication applied to the electronic device 100, including Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs) (e.g., wireless fidelity (Wi-Fi) networks), Bluetooth (BT), Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), Frequency Modulation (FM), Near Field Communication (NFC), Infrared (IR), and the like. The wireless communication module 160 may be one or more devices that integrate one or more communication processing modules. The wireless communication module 160 receives electromagnetic waves via the antenna 2, performs frequency modulation and filtering processing on electromagnetic wave signals, and transmits the processed signals to the processor 110. The wireless communication module 160 may also receive a signal to be transmitted from the processor 110, perform frequency modulation and amplification on the signal, and convert the signal into electromagnetic waves through the antenna 2 to radiate the electromagnetic waves.

In some embodiments, antenna 1 of electronic device 100 is coupled to mobile communication module 150 and antenna 2 is coupled to wireless communication module 160 so that electronic device 100 can communicate with networks and other devices through wireless communication techniques. The wireless communication technology may include global system for mobile communications (GSM), General Packet Radio Service (GPRS), code division multiple access (code division multiple access, CDMA), Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA), time-division code division multiple access (time-division code division multiple access, TD-SCDMA), Long Term Evolution (LTE), LTE, BT, GNSS, WLAN, NFC, FM, and/or IR technologies, etc. The GNSS may include a Global Positioning System (GPS), a global navigation satellite system (GLONASS), a beidou navigation satellite system (BDS), a quasi-zenith satellite system (QZSS), and/or a Satellite Based Augmentation System (SBAS).

The electronic device 100 implements display functions via the GPU, the display screen 194, and the application processor. The GPU is a microprocessor for image processing, and is connected to the display screen 194 and an application processor. The GPU is used to perform mathematical and geometric calculations for graphics rendering. The processor 110 may include one or more GPUs that execute program instructions to generate or alter display information.

The display screen 194 is used to display images, video, and the like. The display screen 194 includes a display panel. The display panel may adopt a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD), an organic light-emitting diode (OLED), an active-matrix organic light-emitting diode (active-matrix organic light-emitting diode, AMOLED), a flexible light-emitting diode (FLED), a miniature, a Micro-oeld, a quantum dot light-emitting diode (QLED), and the like. In some embodiments, the electronic device 100 may include 1 or N display screens 194, with N being a positive integer greater than 1. Taking the example that the electronic device 100 includes two display screens, the display screen 194 includes a first display screen 194A and a second display screen 194B. The first display screen 194A and the second display screen 194B are located on different surfaces of the electronic device 100.

Taking a mobile phone as an example, referring to fig. 3 (a), the first display screen 194A is located on a first surface of the mobile phone, such as the front surface of the mobile phone. The first display screen 194A is also referred to as a home screen. The first display screen 194A is mainly used for displaying a desktop or interfaces of various applications, and the like.

Referring to fig. 3 (B), the second display screen 194B is located on a second surface of the mobile phone, which may be a surface opposite to the first surface, such as a back surface of the mobile phone. The second display screen 194B is also referred to as a sub-screen.

The second display screen 194B may be located on the back of the phone near the side edge, as shown in fig. 3 (B). When the user holds the mobile phone with one hand, the index finger can touch the second display screen 194B, so that the user can input instruction operations, such as sliding operations, clicking operations and the like, to the mobile phone through the second display screen 194B. Of course, fig. 3 (a) and (B) show the arrangement of the first display screen 194A and the second display screen 194B by way of example only, and the arrangement of the first display screen 194A and the second display screen 194B may not be limited to the arrangement shown in fig. 3 (a) and (B). For example, for a clamshell phone, an inner display screen of the clamshell phone is the first display screen 194A, and an outer display screen of the clamshell phone is the second display screen 194B.

The size of the second display screen 194B is pre-designed before the mobile phone is manufactured, and different parameters can be designed according to the actual requirements of the user. The second display screen 194B may be the same size as the first display screen 194A or different size. The second display 194B may cover a small area of the back of the mobile phone, as shown in fig. 3 (B), or may cover a large area of the back of the mobile phone, or even cover the entire area of the back of the mobile phone.

Whether the second display screen 194B is in the bright state may be set by a user according to actual application requirements. For example, the user may set the second display screen 194B to be always in a bright screen state. Whether the second display screen 194B is in the bright state may also be controlled by a power key of the mobile phone. For example, after the user presses the power key, the second display screen 194B is switched from the off-screen state to the on-screen state; after the user presses the power key again, the second display screen 194B is switched from the bright screen state to the off screen state. Whether the second display screen 194B is in the bright state may also be controlled by the sensor module 180. For example, the sensor module 180 can perform gravity sensing, and when the sensor module 180 determines that the mobile phone is in a horizontal state, it is determined that the mobile phone is horizontally placed and the probability of being in an idle state is higher, and the second display screen 194B is switched to a screen-off state; when the sensor module 180 determines that the mobile phone is in the vertical state or the inclined state, it is determined that the probability that the mobile phone is in the working state is high, and the second display screen 194B is switched to the bright screen state, so that the intelligent experience of the user is enhanced. In addition, whether the second display screen 194B is in the bright state may be synchronized with whether the first display screen 194A is in the bright state, i.e., both in the bright state or in the extinguished state. Alternatively, whether the second display screen 194B is in the bright state and whether the first display screen 194A is in the bright state are independent of each other. When the second display screen 194B is in the bright screen state, it is mainly used to display a digital clock, weather, number of moving steps, and the like, so that the user can view the clock conveniently.

The electronic device 100 may implement a shooting function through the ISP, the camera 193, the video codec, the GPU, the display 194, the application processor, and the like.

The ISP is used to process the data fed back by the camera 193. For example, when a photo is taken, the shutter is opened, light is transmitted to the camera photosensitive element through the lens, the optical signal is converted into an electrical signal, and the camera photosensitive element transmits the electrical signal to the ISP for processing and converting into an image visible to naked eyes. The ISP can also carry out algorithm optimization on the noise, brightness and skin color of the image. The ISP can also optimize parameters such as exposure, color temperature and the like of a shooting scene. In some embodiments, the ISP may be provided in camera 193.

The camera 193 is used to capture still images or video. In some embodiments, the handset 100 may include 1 or N cameras, N being a positive integer greater than 1. The camera 193 may be a front camera or a rear camera.

The digital signal processor is used for processing digital signals, and can process digital image signals and other digital signals. For example, when the electronic device 100 selects a frequency bin, the digital signal processor is used to perform fourier transform or the like on the frequency bin energy.

Video codecs are used to compress or decompress digital video. The electronic device 100 may support one or more video codecs. In this way, the electronic device 100 may play or record video in a variety of encoding formats, such as: moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG) 1, MPEG2, MPEG3, MPEG4, and the like.

The external memory interface 120 may be used to connect an external memory card, such as a Micro SD card, to extend the memory capability of the electronic device 100. The external memory card communicates with the processor 110 through the external memory interface 120 to implement a data storage function.

The software system of the electronic device 100 may adopt a layered architecture, an event-driven architecture, a micro-core architecture, a micro-service architecture, or a cloud architecture. The embodiment of the present application takes an android (android) system with a hierarchical architecture as an example, and exemplifies a software structure of the electronic device 100.

For example, fig. 4 shows a software structure diagram of the electronic device 100.

The layered architecture divides the software into several layers, each layer having a clear role and division of labor. The layers communicate with each other through a software interface. In some embodiments, the android system is divided into four layers, from top to bottom, an application layer, an application framework layer, an android runtime (android runtime) and system library, and a kernel layer.

1. Application layer

The application layer may include a series of applications.

As shown in fig. 4, the application programs may include Applications (APPs) such as camera, calendar, map, bluetooth, music, short message service, gallery, phone, browser, video, memo, and the like. These applications may be pre-installed in the electronic device 100 when it leaves the factory, or may be downloaded and installed from an application market when the user uses the electronic device 100, which is not limited in this embodiment of the application.

2. Application framework layer

The application framework layer provides an Application Programming Interface (API) and a programming framework for the application of the application layer. The application framework layer includes a number of predefined functions.

As shown in FIG. 4, the application framework layers may include a window manager, content provider, phone manager, resource manager, view system, power management service, notification manager, and the like.

Wherein, the window manager is used for managing the window program. The window manager can obtain the size of the display screen, judge whether a status bar exists, lock the screen, intercept the screen and the like. The content provider is used to store and retrieve data and make it accessible to applications. The data may include video, images, audio, calls made and received, browsing history and bookmarks, phone books, etc. The view system includes visual controls such as controls to display text, controls to display pictures, and the like. The view system may be used to build applications. The display interface may be composed of one or more views. The resource manager provides various resources for the application, such as localized strings, icons, pictures, layout files, video files, and so forth.

The notification manager enables applications to display notification information in a status bar, can be used to convey notification-type messages, can automatically disappear after a short dwell, and does not require user interaction. Such as a notification manager used to inform download completion, message alerts, etc.

In some embodiments, the notification manager may also be a notification that appears in the form of a chart or scrollbar text at the top status bar of the system, such as a notification of a background running application, and may also be a notification that appears on the screen in the form of a dialog window. For example, prompting text information in the status bar, sounding a prompt tone, vibrating the electronic device, flashing an indicator light, etc.

In some embodiments, the notification manager may also be a notification appearing at the top of the display interface in the form of a notification bubble, which is mainly applied to social Applications (APPs) such as WeChat, Tencent QQ, etc., to notify the user of a new message, such as a chat message. The notification bubble may display a message prompt icon, an icon of an application, or an avatar of the sender.

Referring to fig. 5 (a), taking the electronic device 100 as an example of running the browser APP, when the electronic device 100 runs the browser APP, a display interface 101 of the browser APP may be displayed in the first display screen, where the display interface 101 includes web page content being browsed by a user. If the electronic device 100 receives a new message of the WeChat APP, the electronic device 100 invokes the notification manager, and the notification manager displays a notification bubble on the top layer of the display interface 101 to notify the user that there is a message to be viewed, as shown in (b) of FIG. 5. Because the notification bubble 102 is at the top level and the notification bubble 102 can display an icon of an application, the WeChat APP, the notification bubble 102 can thus function as a "prompt the user to view WeChat messages". If the user clicks the notification bubble 102, the notification bubble 102 expands to display a new WeChat message in the form of a floating window 103 for the user to browse, or to perform operations such as message reply, as shown in (c) of FIG. 5. If the user has not clicked the notification bubble 102, and the electronic device 100 determines that a hiding indication operation is received, where the hiding indication operation is used to indicate the first display screen to hide the notification bubble; alternatively, if the electronic device does not receive an operation for handling the notification bubble, but the notification bubble is displayed on the first display screen for a time period longer than a preset time period, the electronic device 100 calls the notification manager to display the notification bubble 102 on the second display screen 194B, as shown in (d) of fig. 5. Because the notification bubble 102 can be displayed on the second display screen 194B, the user can see the notification bubble after turning over the electronic device 100, and the user is reminded that the message to be checked still exists, so that the reminding effect of the visual aspect is achieved, and the user is prevented from forgetting the message to be checked. If the user needs to browse a new message, the user may perform a corresponding operation, such as a sliding operation, on the first display screen 194A or the second display screen 194B. Accordingly, after the electronic device 100 receives the corresponding operation through the first display screen 194A, the notification manager is invoked to display the notification bubble 102 on the first display screen 194A, as shown in fig. 5 (b), for the user to view. Alternatively, the user may perform a corresponding operation, such as a clicking operation, on the second display screen 194B. Accordingly, after the electronic apparatus 100 receives the corresponding operation through the second display screen 194B, a message to be viewed indicated by the notification bubble 102 is displayed on the first display screen 194A, as shown in (c) of fig. 5, for the user to view.

3. Android runtime (Android runtime) and system library

The android runtime includes a core library and a virtual machine. The android runtime is responsible for scheduling and managing the android system.

The core library comprises two parts: one part is a function which needs to be called by java language, and the other part is a core library of android.

The application layer and the application framework layer run in a virtual machine. And executing java files of the application program layer and the application program framework layer into a binary file by the virtual machine. The virtual machine is used for performing the functions of object life cycle management, stack management, thread management, safety and exception management, garbage collection and the like.

The system library may include a plurality of functional modules. For example: surface managers (surface managers), media libraries (media libraries), three-dimensional graphics processing libraries (e.g., OpenGL ES), 2D graphics engines (e.g., SGL), and the like.

The surface manager is used to manage the display subsystem and provide fusion of 2D and 3D layers for multiple applications. The media library supports a variety of commonly used audio, video format playback and recording, and still image files, among others. The media library may support a variety of audio-video encoding formats, such as MPEG4, h.264, MP3, AAC, AMR, JPG, PNG, and the like. The three-dimensional graphic processing library is used for realizing three-dimensional graphic drawing, image rendering, synthesis, layer processing and the like. The 2D graphics engine is a drawing engine for 2D drawing.

4. Inner core layer

The kernel layer is a layer between hardware and software. The kernel layer at least comprises a display driver, a camera driver, an audio driver, a sensor driver and the like, and the embodiment of the application does not limit the display driver, the camera driver, the audio driver, the sensor driver and the like.

For convenience of understanding, a message notification method provided by the embodiments of the present application is specifically described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the following embodiments, a mobile phone is exemplified as the electronic device 100.

Fig. 6 is a flowchart illustrating a message notification method according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 6, the message notification method may include:

s600, the electronic equipment receives a new message.

The number of the new messages may be one or more. The new message may belong to the same application or to a different application. For example, the new message may be one or more new messages for an application, or one or more new messages for each of a plurality of applications.

In some embodiments, after receiving the new message, the electronic device identifies the application to which the new message belongs, and by default displays the notification in the form of a notification bubble for the social application and displays the notification in the notification bar for other applications.

In some embodiments, the user may set the notification mode of the application. For example, the user sets the notification mode of the telephone, the short message service and the WeChat APP as the top-layer floating notification bubble. The notification bubble can display a message prompt icon to prompt the user that a message to be viewed exists in the application. The notification bubble may also display an icon (icon) of the application, and the shape of the icon may be set according to the actual needs of the user, such as setting the shape of the icon to the shape of the bubble. A notification bubble displaying an icon of an application is used to prompt a user for a new message for the application identified by the icon.

S601, the electronic equipment displays the notification bubble on the first display screen.

Wherein the notification bubble is suspended above the display interface. The notification bubble may be located near an edge of the first display screen or may be located in a center or middle region of the first display screen. In this way, even if the user holds the mobile phone with one hand, the user can operate the notification bubble in the first display screen with the thumb, such as clicking the notification bubble in the first display screen or sliding the notification bubble in the first display screen.

For example, the notification bubble may display the message prompt icon, still in the shape of a bubble, on the first display screen, as shown in fig. 7 (a). The notification bubble may also display an icon (icon) of an application to which the new message belongs, in a bubble shape on the first display screen, as shown in fig. 7 (b). In addition, for social-type applications (such as WeChat), the picture displayed by the notification bubble may be the message sender's avatar.

Meanwhile, the time length of the bubbles staying on the first display screen is not more than the preset time length, and the starting time of the preset time length is the time when the electronic equipment receives a new message. Here, the new message is a to-be-viewed message that the notification bubble prompts the user.

In some embodiments, the user may set the length of time the notification bubble stays on the first display screen (i.e., the preset length of time) uniformly, such as to be 5 seconds.

In some embodiments, if different applications correspond to different notification bubbles, the time length (i.e., the preset time length) of the notification bubble staying on the first display screen may be set according to the priority of the applications. For example, the higher the priority of the application is, the larger the value of the preset time length corresponding to the notification bubble is, so that the time for the notification bubble corresponding to the application to stay on the first display screen is longer, thereby achieving a better prompt effect.

The notification bubble can prompt a plurality of applications of the user that messages to be viewed exist, and also can prompt the user that a certain application of the user has messages to be viewed, and the notification bubble is specifically explained in different scenes as follows:

in a first possible design, the electronic device receives a new message for one application or receives new messages for multiple applications within a certain period of time. As shown in (a) of fig. 7, the electronic apparatus displays a notification bubble on the first display screen. And the icon displayed by the notification bubble is a message prompt icon to prompt a user that a message to be viewed exists in the application.

Here, the starting time of the display of the notification bubble on the first display screen is the time of the latest received message by the electronic device, and the time length (i.e. the preset time length) of the notification bubble staying on the first display screen may be a time length uniformly set by the user or a time length set according to the priority of the application to which the latest received message belongs.

Therefore, no matter the electronic equipment receives a new message of one application or a new message of a plurality of applications, the first display screen can display one notification bubble, the user can be prompted to apply the new message, the shielding area of the notification bubble can be reduced, the notification bubble is prevented from shielding too many display interfaces, and the immersive experience of the user is enhanced.

In a second possible design, the notification bubble can indicate which applications are to have messages viewed, as follows:

in some embodiments, the electronic device receives one or more new messages for the same application over a period of time. As shown in fig. 7 (b), the electronic device displays an icon of an application to which the new message belongs in the form of a notification bubble on the first display screen.

For a new message received by the electronic device, the message may be denoted as message a. The starting time (that is, the starting time of the preset time length) when the electronic device displays the notification bubble on the first display screen is the time when the electronic device receives the message a, and the preset time length of the notification bubble staying on the first display screen can be set according to the priority of the application to which the message a belongs.

For the electronic device receiving multiple new messages of the same application, taking three new messages as an example, the three new messages are respectively denoted as message B1, message B2, and message B3. At this time, if the electronic device receives the message B1, the message B2, and the message B3 at the same time, the start time (i.e., the start time of the preset time length) at which the first display screen displays the notification bubble is the time at which the electronic device receives the new message (i.e., the message B1, the message B2, and the message B3).

If the electronic device receives the message B1, the message B2, and the message B3 at different times, the start time (i.e., the start time of the preset time length) of the notification bubble displayed on the first display screen is the earliest time when the electronic device receives the new message (i.e., the message B1, the message B2, and the message B3). If the electronic device receives one of the new messages (i.e., message B1, message B2, and message B3) during the process of displaying the notification bubble on the first display screen (i.e., within the preset time length), the receiving time of the message is used as the new starting time of the preset time length.

In some embodiments, the electronic device receives new messages for multiple applications over a period of time. Taking two new messages as an example, the two new messages are denoted as message C1 (or denoted as a first message) and message D1 (or denoted as a second message), respectively. Illustratively, message C1 may be a Short Messaging Service (SMS) APP message, and message D1 may be a WeChat APP message.

As shown in (C) and (d) of fig. 7, the electronic apparatus displays a notification bubble of an application to which the message C1 belongs and a notification bubble of an application to which the message C2 belongs in the form of notification bubbles on the first display screen.

For the message C1, the starting time of the electronic device displaying the icon of the application to which the message C1 belongs in the form of the notification bubble (i.e., the starting time of the preset time length of the notification bubble corresponding to the message C1) is the time of the electronic device receiving the message C1, and the time length value of the electronic device displaying the icon of the application to which the message C1 belongs in the form of the notification bubble (i.e., the preset time length of the notification bubble corresponding to the message C1) is a value set according to the priority of the application to which the message C1 belongs.

For the message D1, the starting time of the electronic device displaying the icon of the application to which the message D1 belongs in the form of the notification bubble (i.e., the starting time of the preset time length of the notification bubble corresponding to the message D1) is the time of the electronic device receiving the message D1, and the time length value of the electronic device displaying the icon of the application to which the message D1 belongs in the form of the notification bubble (i.e., the preset time length of the notification bubble corresponding to the message D1) is a value set according to the priority of the application to which the message D1 belongs.

The way of displaying the notification bubble on the first display screen by the electronic device may be various, including but not limited to the following ways:

mode one, display notification bubble in unfolded state

Referring to (c) of fig. 7, the electronic device hovers a notification bubble of a different application on a top layer of the first display screen. And the notification bubbles of different applications are not shielded from each other. For example, the notification bubble of the application to which the message C1 belongs and the notification bubble of the application to which the message D1 belongs are not occluded from each other. Therefore, the first display screen displays the notification bubbles of different applications in the expanded state to prompt the user that the application identified by the notification bubbles has new information, and a better prompt effect is achieved.

Second mode of displaying notification bubble in folded state

Referring to (d) of fig. 7, the electronic device hovers the notification bubble of the two applications at the top layer of the first display screen. And, the notification bubble of both applications collapses. For example, the notification bubble of the application to which message C1 belongs occludes the portion of the notification bubble of the application to which message D1 belongs.

When the first display screen displays the notification bubble in a folded state, the electronic device may determine, according to different determination criteria, the notification bubble to be displayed and the blocked notification bubble from among the notification bubbles of the plurality of applications.

Illustratively, the electronic device takes the time of receiving the new message as the judgment basis, i.e. the time of receiving the message C1 by the electronic device is later than the time of receiving the message D1 by the electronic device. In this manner, the electronic device suspends the notification bubble of the application to which the newly received message (e.g., message C1) belongs on top of the application without being occluded by other notification bubbles, so as to prompt the user in real time for the existence of a new message to be viewed.

For example, the electronic device uses the priority of the application to which the new message belongs as a judgment basis, that is, the priority of the application to which the message C1 belongs is higher than the priority of the application to which the message D1 belongs. Therefore, the electronic equipment suspends the notification bubble of the application with the high priority in the top layer and is not blocked by other notification bubbles, so that the user is prevented from forgetting to check the message of the application with the high priority, and the actual application requirement of the user is met.

Therefore, the first display screen displays the notification bubbles of different applications in a folded state, the user can be prompted to notify that the application identified by the bubbles has new information, the shielding area of the notification bubbles can be reduced, the notification bubbles are prevented from shielding too many display interfaces originally displayed by the electronic equipment, and the immersive experience of the user is enhanced.

Optionally, when the notification bubble displays the application icon, the number of new messages may be identified on the application icon to visually prompt the user of the number of messages to be viewed. For example, when the electronic device receives only one message of the short message service APP for a certain period of time, the icon of the application may be marked with a number "1", as shown in (a) of fig. 8, when the electronic device receives another message of the short message service APP, the number marked on the icon of the application is updated to "2", as shown in (b) of fig. 8, and when the electronic device receives another message of the short message service APP, the icon of the application may be marked with a number "3", as shown in (c) of fig. 8. For another example, at a certain time, when the electronic device receives three messages of the short message service APP, the number identified on the icon of the application is updated to "3", as shown in (c) of fig. 8.

S602, the electronic device determines whether a preset condition is satisfied, if so, then S603 is executed, and if not, then S601 is continuously executed.

Wherein the preset condition comprises at least one of the following options:

the first step is that the electronic equipment receives a hiding indication operation.

Wherein the hiding indication operation is to indicate the first display screen to hide the notification bubble.

For example, the hidden indication operation may be a click operation in which the first display screen is in a preset interface and the operation area is a preset area. The preset interface may be a display interface of a desktop, and the preset area may be an area where no icon exists in the display interface of the desktop.

For example, the hidden indication operation may be a slide operation received through the second display screen when the notification bubble is not present on the second display screen, and the direction of the slide operation may be a direction along which the width of the electronic device is located.

For example, if a key area focused by a user in a display interface is an area blocked by a notification bubble, the user needs to notify the notification bubble to be hidden as soon as possible without blocking an original display interface of a first display screen, and then the user may input a hiding instruction operation to the electronic device. Accordingly, the electronic device receives a hidden indication operation. In response to a hiding indication operation, the electronic device hides the notification bubble on the first display screen and displays the notification bubble on the second display screen. Therefore, even if the time length of the notification bubble displayed on the first display screen does not exceed the preset time length, the user can directly hide the notification bubble on the first display screen without waiting for the notification bubble to automatically hide, so that the practical application requirements of the user are met, and the immersive experience of the user is enhanced.

Secondly, the electronic equipment does not receive the operation for processing the notification bubble, and the time length of the notification bubble displayed on the first display screen exceeds the preset time length.

Among other things, the operations for handling the notification bubble may include, but are not limited to, the following operations:

operation one, click operation, when the user needs to browse a new message prompted by a certain notification bubble, click the notification bubble. Accordingly, the electronic device receives a click operation on the notification bubble and displays a new message in the form of a floating window.

And the second operation is long-time pressing operation, and when the user needs to delete a certain notification bubble, the user long-time presses the notification bubble. Accordingly, the electronic apparatus receives a long-press operation acting on the notification bubble, and in response to the long-press operation, the electronic apparatus displays the management button on the first display screen. And when the management button is clicked, displaying a management menu, wherein the management menu can comprise a deletion option, and when the deletion option is clicked, deleting the notification bubble from the second indication frame.

And operation three, displaying an indication operation, namely after the notification bubble is hidden by the first display screen and the notification bubble is displayed again by the first display screen in response to the call-out indication operation, displaying only a partial number of the notification bubbles in the plurality of notification bubbles by the first display screen in the second indication frame, and hiding other notification bubbles. However, the user needs to browse a new message of the application identified by the hidden notification bubble, and the user inputs a display instruction operation to the electronic device, such as a sliding operation within the second instruction frame of the first display screen. Accordingly, the electronic device receives a display instruction operation through the first display screen, and in response to the display instruction operation, the first display screen may display the notification bubbles in a scrolling and rotating manner, as described in detail in relation to S607 and S608. For a description about the operation of evoking indication, reference may be specifically made to the descriptions of S605 and S606, and details are not described here.

Operation four and the hidden indication operation refer to the above description of the hidden indication operation, which is not described herein again.

The time for displaying the notification bubble on the first display screen exceeds a preset time length, and the user does not input an operation for processing the notification bubble to the electronic device within the preset time length. Accordingly, the electronic device does not receive an operation for processing the notification bubble within a preset time period, and then the electronic device may determine that the user is immersed in a scene of an application, such as the user is focused on content in a display interface of the browser APP or the user is focused on a game scene of the game APP. In order to avoid that the notification bubble blocks the original display interface of the first display screen and affects the immersive experience of the user, the electronic device performs the following S603:

s603, the electronic equipment displays the notification bubble on the second display screen.

And the notification bubble floats on the top layer, namely floats on the current display interface of the second display screen.

In some embodiments, the number of the notification bubbles may be one, and the notification bubbles may display a message prompt icon, as shown in (a) of fig. 9. The notification bubble can prompt the user that there is a message to be viewed in the application. The notification bubble can be displayed even if the size of the second display screen is small. Optionally, the number of messages to be viewed may be identified on the message prompt icon to facilitate the user to view the messages.

In some embodiments, the number of notification bubbles may be one, and the notification bubbles may also display an icon of an application, as shown in (b) of fig. 9. The notification bubble can prompt the user which application has messages to be viewed, so that the user is prevented from forgetting or missing messages of important applications. Optionally, the number of messages to be viewed can be identified on the icon of the application, so that the user can conveniently view the messages.

In some embodiments, the number of notification bubbles may also be multiple, and different notification bubbles may display icons of different applications. The number of notification bubbles is consistent with the number of applications to which the new message received by the electronic device belongs. For example, two applications are Short Messaging Service (SMS) and wechat, respectively, and the second display screen displays a notification bubble for the application to which message C1 belongs and a notification bubble for the application to which message C2 belongs. The electronic device may display the notification bubble on the second display screen in various ways, including but not limited to the following ways:

mode one, display notification bubble in unfolded state

Referring to (c) of fig. 9, the electronic device hovers a notification bubble of a different application on a top layer of the second display screen. And the notification bubbles of different applications are not shielded from each other. For example, the notification bubble of the application to which the message C1 belongs and the notification bubble of the application to which the message D1 belongs are not occluded from each other. Therefore, the second display screen displays the notification bubbles of different applications in the expanded state to prompt the user that the application identified by the notification bubbles has new information, and a better prompt effect is achieved.

Second mode of displaying notification bubble in folded state

Referring to (d) of fig. 9, the electronic device hovers the notification bubble of the two applications at the top layer of the second display screen. And, the notification bubble of both applications collapses. For example, the notification bubble of the application to which the message C1 belongs blocks the partial notification bubble of the application to which the display message D1 belongs.

When the second display screen displays the notification bubble in a folded state, the electronic device may determine the notification bubble to be displayed and the blocked notification bubble from the notification bubbles of the plurality of applications according to different determination criteria. For example, the electronic device uses the time when the new message is received as the judgment basis, or uses the priority of the application to which the new message belongs as the judgment basis, and the specific description in S601 may be referred to. The judgment basis for the electronic device to determine the notification bubble to be displayed in the second display screen may be the same as the judgment basis for the electronic device to determine the notification bubble to be displayed in the first display screen, or may be different from the judgment basis for the electronic device to determine the notification bubble to be displayed in the first display screen.

In this way, the second display screen displays a notification bubble for a different application in a collapsed state to prompt the user to notify the application identified by the bubble of a new message. Even if the size of the second display screen is small, since the notification bubble is displayed in a folded state, a good prompt effect can be achieved.

Therefore, the message notification method provided by the application can display the notification bubble on the first display screen to prompt the user that a new message exists. Even if the user holds the electronic device with one hand, the notification bubble in the first display screen can be processed by the thumb, such as clicking the notification bubble in the first display screen or sliding the notification bubble in the first display screen. When the electronic device determines that the preset condition is met, if the electronic device receives a hiding indication operation to indicate the first display screen to hide the notification bubble, for example, the electronic device does not receive an operation for processing the notification bubble, and the time length of the notification bubble displayed on the first display screen exceeds the preset time length, the electronic device displays the notification bubble on the second display screen. Because the notification bubble of the first display screen can be automatically hidden, or the notification bubble is hidden by the first display screen in response to the hidden indication information received by the electronic equipment, the time that the notification bubble shields the original display interface of the electronic equipment is reduced, and the immersive experience of a user is enhanced. Because the notification bubble can be displayed on the second display screen, the user can see the notification bubble on the second display screen by turning the mobile phone, so that the reminding effect of a visual layer can be realized, and the user is prevented from forgetting new messages.

Optionally, the electronic device determines a display mode of the notification bubble according to a current running state of the application and/or an operation habit of a user. For example, the running status of the application may refer to whether the electronic device is running a specific class of application, and the specific class of application may be an application set by the user according to the user's own needs, such as but not limited to a game class application. If the electronic device runs the application of the designated class, the electronic device determines to directly display the notification bubble on the second display screen, that is, the electronic device directly executes S603 after executing S600, otherwise, the electronic device executes S601 after executing S600.

For another example, the operation habit of the user may refer to: and when the electronic equipment runs different applications, the electronic equipment receives the operation habits of the user. Taking the reading application as an example, the operation habit of the user may be: the user inputs the type of operation or the time interval to the electronic device. As such, the electronic device determines whether the user is in an immersive mode, i.e., whether the user is reading seriously, based on the type of operation received or the time interval. For example, if the electronic device runs a reading application, the electronic device determines whether the current operation status of the user is consistent with the operation habit of the user learned in advance, if so, the electronic device directly displays a notification bubble on the second display screen, that is, the electronic device directly executes S603 after executing S600, and if not, the electronic device executes S601 after executing S600.

Optionally, after the electronic device executes S600, S601 is executed, and when the second display screen is in the screen-off state, the second display screen may flash to remind the user of a new message.

Optionally, referring to fig. 10(a), after the electronic device performs S602, if it is determined that the preset condition is satisfied, the electronic device may directly perform S603, or before performing S603, perform S604:

s604, the electronic equipment gradually hides the notification bubble from the edge of the first display screen.

Wherein the notification bubble can be gradually hidden from any edge of the first display screen. For example, the notification bubble is hidden from the top, bottom, left portion, or right portion of the first display screen, and the hidden position of the notification bubble is not particularly limited in the embodiments of the present application.

Illustratively, taking the top-layer floating notification bubble of the display interface of the browser APP as an example, the notification bubble gradually recedes from the edge of the first display screen, as shown in (a) in fig. 11. And after the notification bubble is completely hidden, the first display screen displays the original display interface, and the second display screen displays the notification bubble.

Therefore, the electronic equipment reduces the area of the notification bubble for shielding the original display interface in a gradual recession mode to prompt a user that the notification bubble is to be displayed on the second display screen, so that the user experience is improved.

Alternatively, in the process of notifying that the bubble is gradually disappearing, the electronic device displays the first indication frame 104 on the first display screen, as shown in fig. 11 (b). Wherein the first indicator box 104 carries a notification bubble. The width of the first indication frame 104 becomes narrower as the notification bubble gradually recedes, and the first indication frame 104 is used for indicating that the notification bubble is to be displayed on the second display screen. In this way, the electronic device displays the first indication frame, and the visual prompting effect is further enhanced to show the area where the notification bubble is to be displayed for the user, i.e. prompt the user that "the notification bubble is to be displayed on the second display screen".

After the bubble to be notified is completely hidden from the edge of the first display screen, for the first display screen, the first display screen can normally display the original display interface. Or, the first display screen displays the originally displayed display interface, and at the same time, the first display screen also displays a partial area of the first indication frame, for example, the first display screen only reserves a certain edge of the first indication frame 104 and an area near the certain edge, as shown in (c) in fig. 11. For the second display screen, the electronic device displays the notification bubble on the second display screen, i.e., the electronic device performs S603.

Optionally, after the notification bubble is hidden in the first display screen and displayed in the second display screen, if the user needs to browse a new message, the user may perform a sliding operation on the first display screen or the second display screen. Accordingly, the electronic device receives a sliding operation through the first display screen or the second display screen to cause the notification bubble to be displayed again on the first display screen, that is, the electronic device performs S605 and S606:

s605, the electronic equipment receives the call-out instruction operation.

Wherein the call-out instruction operation may be a slide operation. The direction of the sliding operation may be in a width direction of the electronic apparatus.

As a possible implementation manner, the first display screen of the electronic device may still display the display interface of a certain application, for example, the first display screen still displays the display interface of the browser, and does not exit the application. Or the first display screen is positioned on the display interface of the desktop. At this time, referring to (a) in fig. 12, the electronic apparatus may receive a call-out instruction operation through the second display screen, that is, the electronic apparatus receives a slide operation through the second display screen.

Therefore, when the user holds the electronic equipment by hand, the second display screen on the back is touched by the index finger, so that the sliding operation can be realized, the notification bubble displayed on the second display screen is displayed on the first display screen, namely the notification bubble is called, and the operation is convenient.

As another possible implementation, the first display screen displays a partial area of the first indication frame. At this time, referring to (b) in fig. 12, the electronic apparatus may receive a call-out instruction operation through the first display screen, that is, the electronic apparatus receives a slide operation through the first display screen.

The operation area for calling the indication operation received by the first display screen comprises a partial area of the first indication frame.

For example, the first display screen may display a partial area of the first indication frame at an edge of a preset interface, which may be, for example, but not limited to, a display interface of a desktop.

Therefore, the user can slide from the edge of the first display screen by using the index finger, so that the notification bubble displayed on the second display screen is displayed on the first display screen, namely the notification bubble is called, and the operation is convenient.

And S606, responding to the call-out instruction operation, and displaying the notification bubble on the first display screen again by the electronic equipment.

In some embodiments, the first display screen displays a display interface of the browser APP, and the notification bubble floats above the display interface of the browser APP, as shown in (c) of fig. 12.

In some embodiments, the first display screen is at a display interface of the desktop, and the notification bubble is suspended above the display interface of the desktop, as shown in (d) of fig. 12.

Therefore, the user can conveniently click the notification bubble displayed on the top layer of the first display screen to browse new messages.

Optionally, S606 may be specifically implemented as: in response to the call-out instruction operation, the electronic apparatus displays a notification bubble within the second instruction box 105 of the first display screen. The second indication box 105 is used for informing that the bubble is displayed on the second display screen before the electronic device responds to the call-out indication operation.

Illustratively, referring to (e) in fig. 12, taking the first display screen as an example of the display interface of the desktop, the notification bubble 102 is suspended above the display interface of the desktop and is located within the second indication frame 105.

In this manner, the visual effect can be enhanced by the second indication frame to indicate that the notification bubble within the second indication frame is displayed on the second display screen before responding to the call-out indication operation.

In another possible design, the electronic device has messages to view for two or more applications. The description will be given by taking as an example that two applications have new messages. For example, the two applications are Short Messaging Service (SMS) and wechat, respectively, where the message of the short messaging service APP is denoted as message C1, and the message of the wechat APP is denoted as message D1. At this time, the electronic device displays two notification bubbles in the first display screen, and an icon of an application to which the message C1 belongs and an icon of an application to which the message C2 belongs are displayed in the two notification bubbles, respectively. The electronic device may display the notification bubble on the first display screen in various ways. For example, the notification bubble is displayed in the expanded state, which is specifically described in relation to the first mode of S601, and is not described herein again.

Optionally, the electronic device may also display two or more notification bubbles in an expanded state within the second indicator box 105 of the first display screen. If the number of notification bubbles is too large, and the second indication frame 105 cannot simultaneously display each of the plurality of notification bubbles, the electronic device may display a partial number of the plurality of notification bubbles in the second indication frame 105 of the first display screen, and hide other notification bubbles in the plurality of notification bubbles. The electronic device may determine the displayed notification bubble or the hidden notification bubble among the plurality of notification bubbles according to different criteria. For example, the reception time of a new message is used as a criterion, that is, the reception time of a message identified by a displayed notification bubble is later than the reception time of a message identified by a hidden notification bubble among a plurality of notification bubbles. For another example, the priority of the application to which the new message belongs is used as a judgment basis, that is, the priority of the application in which the notification bubble is displayed is higher than the priority of the application in which the notification bubble is hidden in the plurality of notification bubbles.

Illustratively, the plurality of applications are a telephone, a Short Messaging Service (SMS) and a WeChat respectively, and at this time, the electronic device displays two notification bubbles in the second indication frame of the first display screen, the two notification bubbles respectively displaying an icon of the telephone APP and an icon of the short messaging service APP, and the notification bubble displaying the icon of the WeChat APP is hidden, as shown in (a) of fig. 13.

And if the user needs to click the notification bubble, checking a new message of the application identified by the notification bubble. However, the application identified by the notification bubble is not displayed within the second indication box, and the user may perform a display indication operation on the electronic device. Accordingly, the electronic device performs S607:
