Before describing the technical scheme of the embodiment of the present application, the related concepts, device groups, software and hardware structures of electronic devices, etc. possibly related to the present application are described below.

The message notification method provided by the embodiment of the application can be applied to the equipment group. The electronic devices in the device group can communicate with each other through a wireless network or a wired network. In addition, the embodiment of the application can also refer to a scene of the equipment group as a multi-equipment scene.

For example, each electronic device in the device group may be connected to the same WLAN network through a relay device (e.g., a router).

Specifically, the electronic device according to the embodiment of the present application may be a handheld device, a vehicle-mounted device, a wearable device, an augmented reality (augmented reality, AR) device, a Virtual Reality (VR) device, a projection device, a projector, or other devices connected to a wireless modem, or may be various specific forms of User Equipment (UE), a terminal device (terminal device), a mobile phone, a smart phone (smart phone), a smart screen, a smart television, a smart watch, a notebook, a smart refrigerator, a smart air conditioner, a smart stereo, a camera, a game pad, a microphone, a Station (STA), an Access Point (AP), a Mobile Station (MS), a personal digital assistant (personal digital assistant, PDA), a personal computer (personal computer, PC), or a relay device.

Further, each electronic device in the device group may be a device under the same user account. For example, when a user logs in a mobile phone, a desktop computer, a smart screen, a notebook computer, a relay device, and a smart watch using the same user account, the device group includes the mobile phone, the desktop computer, the smart screen, the notebook computer, the relay device, and the smart watch, and the mobile phone, the desktop computer, the smart screen, the notebook computer, the relay device, and the smart watch can communicate with each other through a wireless network.

It should be noted that, each electronic device in the device group may be installed with an application or manager (such as a message manager or notification manager) for generating a message, and the application or manager may generate a message to be notified (or reminded) when a set item (such as a control command generated by a server issuing a message) is satisfied. When a certain electronic device in the device group acquires a message to be notified, the electronic device may be referred to as a source device. For example, when the mobile phone receives a control command of a short message sent by the server, an operating system in the mobile phone responds to the control command to generate the short message to be notified. If the user sets the short message notification function of the mobile phone to be silent notification, the mobile phone executes the notification of the short message by adopting a silent notification mode.

In the embodiment of the present application, a software system of a master control device or a controlled device (hereinafter referred to as a device) may adopt a layered architecture, an event driven architecture, a micro-core architecture, a micro-service architecture, or a cloud architecture. In the following, the embodiment of the application takes an Android system with a layered architecture as an example, and illustrates a software structure of a master control device.

The architecture diagram of the software and hardware system provided with the Android system is shown in fig. 3. Therein, the internal memory 2901 may have stored therein a kernel layer 320, a system runtime layer 340, an application framework layer 360, and an application layer 380. Wherein the layers communicate through a software interface, and the kernel layer 320, the system runtime layer 340, and the application framework layer 360 belong to an operating system space.

Specifically, the application layer 380 belongs to a user space, and at least one application program (or simply referred to as an "application") is running in the application layer 380, where the application programs may be native application programs of an operating system, or may be third party application programs developed by a third party developer. For example, the application layer 380 may include applications such as cameras, gallery, calendar, talk, map, navigation, WLAN, bluetooth, music, messaging, video, and short messages.

It should be noted that the application framework layer 360 provides various application programming interfaces (application programming interface, APIs) and programming frameworks that may be used by applications that build the application layer, so that developers can also build their own applications by using these APIs. For example, a window manager (window manager), a content provider (content providers), a view system (view system), a phone manager (telephony manager), a resource manager, a notification manager (notification manager), a message manager, an activity manager (activity manager), a package manager (package manager), a location manager (location manager), an NFC service, and the like.

In particular, the content provider may be used to store and retrieve data and make the data accessible to applications. The data may include, among other things, video, images, audio, calls made and received, browsing history and bookmarks, phone books, etc. In addition, the content provider may enable an application to access data of another application, such as a contact database, or share their own data.

In particular, the view system includes visual controls. For example, a control for displaying characters and a control for displaying pictures. The view system may be used to build applications. The display interface may be composed of one or more views. For example, a display interface including a text message notification icon may include a view displaying text and a view displaying a picture.

In particular, the telephony manager is used to provide communication functions for the electronic device. For example, management of call status (e.g., on, off, etc.).

In particular, the resource manager may provide various resources for the application. Such as localization strings, icons, pictures, layout files, video files, etc.

Specifically, the notification manager enables the application to display notification messages and the like in the status bar, can be used for conveying the message types of the notification messages, can automatically disappear after a short stay, and does not need user interaction. For example, notification managers are used to inform of download completion, message alerts, message notifications, and the like. The notification manager may also be a notification that appears in the system top status bar in the form of a chart or scroll bar text. In addition, the notification of the application running in the background may also be a notification that appears on the screen in the form of a dialog window. For example, a text message is presented in a status bar, a warning tone is emitted, and the electronic device vibrates, and the indicator lights blink, etc.

Specifically, the message manager may be configured to store data of the messages reported by each application program, and process the data reported by each application program.

In particular, the activity manager may be used to manage application lifecycle and provide common navigation rollback functionality. In one possible example, the message manager may be part of a notification manager.

It should be noted that, the system runtime layer 340 provides main feature support for the Android system through some C/c++ libraries. For example, the SQLite library provides support for databases, the OpenGL/ES library provides support for 3D graphics, the Webkit library provides support for browser kernels, and the like. Also provided in the system Runtime layer 340 is a An Zhuoyun Runtime (Android run) that provides mainly some core libraries that can allow developers to write Android applications using the Java language.

In particular, kernel layer 320 may provide underlying drivers for various hardware of the electronic device, such as display drivers, audio drivers, camera drivers, bluetooth drivers, wi-Fi drivers, power management, NFC drivers, UWB drivers, and the like.

Additionally, human-machine interaction is an important way of communicating between a user and a device, while messaging is a passive human-machine interaction, i.e. an electronic device actively alerts the user to draw the attention of the user to interact. However, how to efficiently perform message notification is very important. However, when a user has a plurality of electronic devices at the same time, there may be a case where the user does not view a message issued for a certain electronic device in time. Thus, further research is still needed on how to perform message notification among multiple devices.

In connection with the above description, the following will describe the execution steps of the message notification method from the viewpoint of a method example, referring to fig. 4.

Fig. 4 is a flow chart of a message notification method according to an embodiment of the present application, where the method includes:

s410, the source equipment acquires a first message and/or first indication information to be notified.

Wherein the source device may be one electronic device of a device group.

The first indication information may be used to indicate whether the electronic devices in the device group are suitable for performing collaborative notification of the first message.

It should be noted that, in conjunction with the above description, first, each electronic device in the device group may be associated with user identification information of the same user. The user identification information may include at least one of physiological characteristic information (such as hand shape, fingerprint, voiceprint, iris, face, etc.), user account information (such as user account number, etc.).

Second, device identification information of each other may be stored between the electronic devices in the device group. The device identification information may include a MAC address, an IP address, SN, etc. Therefore, the source device in the device group can cooperatively control other electronic devices through the device identification information of the other electronic devices stored in the source device (such as cooperatively controlling the other electronic devices to notify the first message to be notified to realize notification of the first message), so that cooperative control capability among multiple devices is realized.

Finally, each electronic device in the device group may be installed with an application or manager (e.g., a message manager or notification manager, etc.) for generating messages that will generate messages to be notified (or reminded) when a set item (e.g., a control command issued by the server to generate the message, etc.) is met. When a certain electronic device in the device group acquires a message to be notified, the electronic device may be referred to as a source device.

Specifically, the first indication information may include at least one of device service status indication information and device execution status indication information.

Further, the device service status indication information may be used to indicate whether the current device service status of the source device is suitable for performing the notification of the first message.

It should be noted that, first, the current device service state may be used to represent the current device state (may also be referred to as the current usage state) of the source device, the currently executed service function, and the like. For example, the current device state is on, off (or off), lock, bright, how much power is left, vibration mode, mute mode, etc.; the currently performed service function is that video playback or music playback or the like is currently being performed. Wherein a service function may refer to at least one predetermined action operation that an electronic device may perform by invoking an internal application or instruction. For example, when the electronic device is a smart phone, the phone may perform video playing, music playing, making a call, email receiving and sending, weather information receiving, multimedia information displaying, game screen manipulation, photo taking, screen throwing, and the like by calling an internal application or instruction.

Secondly, the embodiment of the application can effectively avoid the situation that the notification of the message influences the use experience of the user by taking the currently executed service function as one of the judging conditions of the message notification among the devices. For example, when the source device is a cell phone, the user is watching video, playing a game, or reading text, etc. through the cell phone, and thus notification of a message is not desired to affect the viewing experience.

Finally, the device service state indication information can be determined by the current device service state of the source device, so that the device service state indication information is obtained through the current device service state of the source device, and the device service state is used as one of judging conditions for message notification among devices. For example, if the current device service state is a mute state, a screen is turned off, the remaining power is low, a video is being played, etc., the current device service state of the source device is not suitable for performing notification of the first message. An exemplary description of the device service status indication information is provided below.

Illustratively, the device service status indication information x satisfies:

wherein x=1 indicates that the current device service state of the source device is suitable for performing notification of the first message; x=0 indicates that the current device service state of the source device is not suitable for performing notification of the first message.

Further, the device execution status indication information may be used to indicate whether other electronic devices in the device group than the source device are suitable for executing the notification of the first message.

It should be noted that, when a user owns multiple electronic devices at the same time, that is, the multiple electronic devices form a device group in the embodiment of the present application, the user may not look at a message issued by a certain electronic device in time. Therefore, the embodiment of the application considers that the device execution state indication information is introduced to serve as one of judging conditions of message notification among devices, and judges whether other electronic devices except the source device are suitable for cooperatively notifying the first message according to the device execution state indication information, so that the first message is notified through as many devices as possible, and the situation that a user fails to view the first message in time is avoided.

Second, the device execution status indication information may be determined by user attention information, associated device information of the source device, and the like. Wherein the user attention information may be used to indicate whether the user attention is on other electronic devices than the source device. The associated device information of the source device may be used to indicate that the source device is an associated other electronic device (either by establishing a communication connection with each other or by storing respective device identification information). For example, when the source device is a mobile phone, the user may communicatively connect (i.e., establish an association relationship) the mobile phone with a smart watch (or a smart headset, etc.) through bluetooth matching. Thus, the user can view a message notification on the cell phone, etc. through the smart watch.

Finally, the embodiment of the application can judge whether the attention of the user is on the electronic equipment or not through a face recognition algorithm, an eyeball recognition algorithm, a face recognition algorithm and the like so as to acquire the attention information of the user. For example, if the user is facing the electronic device a (or the user is looking at the electronic device a in front, the face of the user is facing the electronic device), the electronic device a may acquire an image frame through the camera and analyze the image frame using a face-to-eye recognition algorithm (or an eyeball recognition algorithm, a face recognition algorithm) to determine that the user is focusing on the electronic device a.

S420, the source device determines a target device for executing the notification of the first message from the device group according to the important notification degree of the first message and/or the first indication information.

Wherein the target device may comprise at least one electronic device of the device group for performing the notification of the first message. It will be appreciated that the target device may comprise a source device, or may comprise other electronic devices in the device group than the source device.

It should be noted that, when a user owns multiple electronic devices at the same time, that is, the multiple electronic devices form a device group in the embodiment of the present application, the user may not look at a message issued by a certain electronic device in time. Therefore, the embodiment of the application considers that the target device is determined from the device group according to the important notification degree of the first message and/or the first indication information. The target device can comprise at least one electronic device used for executing the notification of the first message in the device group, so that the notification of the first message is facilitated to be carried out by other electronic devices except the source device in the device group, the situation that the user fails to view the first message in time is avoided, the message collaborative notification among devices is further realized, the collaborative processing capability among devices is improved, the personalized message notification of the user is ensured, and the use experience of the user is improved.

Specifically, before S420, the method may further include the steps of: an important notification level of the first message is determined.

It should be noted that the importance notification level of the first message may be used to indicate an importance level (or priority level) to which the first message needs to be notified. That is, if the importance notification level of a message is higher (the importance level or priority level is higher), i.e., the message is more important to the user, the user needs to immediately (or timely) process or view the message; if the importance of a message is notified to a lower degree (the importance level or priority level is lower), i.e., the message is not very important to the user, the user may not need to immediately process or view the message. Therefore, the important notification degree of the first message is used as one of the judgment conditions of the message notification among the devices, so that the situation that the user fails to view the first message in time is avoided, personalized message notification of the user is realized, and the use experience of the user is improved.

In addition, the importance notification level of the first message may be represented by a numerical value. For example, if the value is at (60, 100), it indicates that the importance level (or priority level) to which the first message needs to be notified is "high", and the larger the value, the higher the importance level (or priority level), and if the value is at (0,60), it indicates that the importance level to which the first message needs to be notified is "low", and the smaller the value, the lower the importance level (or priority level).

Wherein the importance notification level of the first message may be determined by at least one of: the message type of the first message, the message content of the first message, the specific keyword in the first message, and the application type to which the first message belongs.

It should be noted that, first, the importance notification level of the first message may be determined by the message type of the first message. The embodiment of the application can determine the important notification degree of the first message from the preset mapping table according to the message type of the first message, wherein the first preset mapping table is used for indicating the mapping relationship between the message type and the important notification degree (or the numerical value). The first preset mapping table may be a system preset or a user dynamic setting. For example, the message type of the first message may include a transaction type message, a payment type message, a travel type message, a short message type message, a password authentication type message, a general application notification type message, etc., which are very important to the user (i.e., important notification degree is high).

Second, the importance notification level of the first message may be determined by the message content of the first message. The embodiment of the application can determine the important notification degree of the first message from a second preset mapping table according to the keywords in the message content of the first message, wherein the second preset mapping table is used for indicating the mapping relation between the keywords and the important notification degree (or the numerical value).

Again, the degree of importance notification of the first message may be determined by the application type to which the first message belongs. The embodiment of the application can determine the important notification degree of the first message according to the application type to which the first message belongs. Since the application type to which the first message belongs may reflect the message type of the first message, the above scheme of "message type of the first message" may be applied. For example, if the message content or the message is from a news class application, i.e., the application to which the message belongs is a news class application, the message type of the message is a news class message.

Finally, the importance notification degree of the first message can be determined by at least one of the message type of the first message, the message content of the first message and the application type to which the first message belongs, so that joint determination is ensured in a plurality of ways to ensure that the determined importance notification degree of the first message is more accurate.

Therefore, the embodiment of the application can determine the important notification degree of the first message in different modes, thereby ensuring the diversity of schemes and improving the accuracy.

Specifically, determining the target device for performing notification of the first message from the device group according to the important notification degree of the first message and/or the first indication information may include: determining a target device (i.e., the subsequent "case one") for performing notification of the first message from the device group based on the importance notification level of the first message and the first indication information; or determining the target device (namely the subsequent 'case two' and 'case three') from the device group according to the first indication information; alternatively, the target device is determined from the device group based on the importance notification level of the first message (i.e., the subsequent "case four").

It may be appreciated that the embodiments of the present application may take various technical solutions to determine the target device for performing the notification of the first message. The following is a detailed description.

Case one:

in one possible example, determining a target device for performing notification of the first message from the device group according to the importance notification level of the first message and/or the first indication information may include the steps of: determining a comparison result of the important notification degree of the first message and a preset threshold value; and determining the target equipment from the equipment group according to the comparison result and the first indication information.

The comparison result may be one of the importance notification level of the first message being greater than a preset threshold value and the importance notification level of the first message being less than or equal to the preset threshold value.

It should be noted that, in "case one", the embodiment of the present application considers that the importance level (or priority level) of the first message to be notified is divided into two levels, i.e., "important" and "unimportant", by comparing the importance notification level of the first message with a preset threshold (e.g., "60") as described above. If the important notification degree of the first message is greater than a preset threshold value, the important notification degree of the first message is indicated as important, namely the first message is important to the user; if the importance notification level of the first message is less than or equal to the preset threshold value, the importance notification level of the first message is indicated as 'unimportant', i.e. the first message is not very important to the user. Then, a target device is determined from the device group based on the ranking result indicated by the comparison result ("important" or "unimportant") and the first indication information. The target device comprises at least one electronic device used for executing the notification of the first message in the device group, so that the notification of the first message is assisted (or cooperated) by other electronic devices except the source device in the device group through the important notification degree of the first message and the first indication information, the situation that the user fails to view the first message in time is avoided, the message cooperated notification among devices is further realized, the cooperated processing capacity among devices is improved, the personalized message notification of the user is ensured, and the use experience of the user is improved.

Sub-case 1:

specifically, determining the target device from the device group according to the comparison result and the first indication information may include the following steps: if the comparison result shows that the important notification degree of the first message is larger than the preset threshold value, acquiring equipment service state indication information in the first indication information; and determining the target device from the device group according to the device service state indication information.

It should be noted that, if the comparison result is that the importance notification degree of the first message is greater than the preset threshold, it is indicated that the importance notification degree of the first message is "important", that is, the first message is important to the user. Thus, users want to be able to immediately (or timely) process or view important messages. In order to ensure that a user can immediately (or timely) process or view an important message and avoid failing to timely process or view a first message, the embodiment of the application introduces the equipment service state indication information in the first indication information.

In addition, as can be seen from the description of the "device service state indication information" above, the device service state indication information may be used to indicate whether the current device service state of the source device is suitable for executing the notification of the first message, so that the device service state indication information is used to determine one or more suitable electronic devices (i.e. a plurality of devices as suitable as possible) in the device group to cooperatively notify the first message, thereby implementing message cooperative notification between devices, improving cooperative processing capability between devices, ensuring personalized message notification of the user, and improving use experience of the user.

Further, determining the target device from the device group according to the device service status indication information may include the following steps: if the equipment service state indication information indicates that the current equipment service state of the source equipment is not suitable for executing the notification of the first message, acquiring equipment execution state indication information in the first indication information; determining a target device from the device group according to the device execution state indication information; or if the device service state indication information indicates that the current device service state of the source device is suitable for performing notification of the first message, the source device is taken as the target device.

It can be understood that, in the embodiment of the present application, it is considered that whether the source device is suitable for executing the notification of the first message is first determined, and then whether other electronic devices except the source device are suitable for executing the notification of the first message is determined, so that the message notification between the devices is realized through two determinations. If the source device is suitable for executing the notification of the first message, the notification is directly executed by the source device without judging whether other electronic devices are suitable, so that the cooperative processing efficiency of message notification among the devices is improved.

Further, determining the target device from the device group according to the device execution status indication information may include the following steps: if the device execution state indication information indicates that the first electronic device except the source device in the device group is suitable for executing the notification of the first message, the first electronic device is used as the target device; or if the device executes the notification that the state indication information indicates that all electronic devices except the source device in the device group are not suitable for the first message, the source device is taken as the target device.

It can be understood that the embodiment of the application considers that whether other electronic devices except the source device are suitable for executing the notification of the first message is judged, so that the message cooperation notification among the devices is realized through the judging process.

Sub-case 2:

specifically, determining the target device from the device group according to the comparison result and the first indication information may include the following steps: if the comparison result shows that the important notification degree of the first message is larger than the preset threshold value, acquiring equipment execution state indication information in the first indication information; and determining the target equipment from the equipment group according to the equipment execution state indication information.

It should be noted that, in order to ensure that a user can immediately (or timely) process or view an important message, and avoid failing to timely process or view a first message, the embodiment of the present application introduces device execution status indication information in the first indication information. In combination with the above-mentioned "device execution status indication information", the device execution status indication information may be used to indicate whether other electronic devices in the device group, except for the source device, are suitable for executing the notification of the first message, i.e. determine whether other electronic devices are needed to assist in notifying the first message, so that the device execution status indication information is used to determine one or more suitable electronic devices (i.e. let a plurality of suitable devices as much as possible) in the device group to cooperatively notify the first message, thereby implementing message cooperative notification between devices, improving cooperative processing capability between devices, ensuring personalized message notification of a user, and improving user experience of the user.

Sub-case 3:

specifically, determining the target device from the device group according to the comparison result and the first indication information may include the following steps: and if the comparison result shows that the important notification degree of the first message is smaller than or equal to the preset threshold value, the source equipment is used as the target equipment.

It should be noted that, if the importance notification level of the first message is less than or equal to the preset threshold, it is indicated that the importance notification level of the first message is "unimportant", that is, the first message is not very important to the user. Therefore, the user may not need to immediately (or timely) process or view the important message, so that the notification of the first message is directly performed by the source device, and whether the source device or other electronic devices are suitable or not is not needed, thereby improving the co-processing efficiency of message notification among the devices.

And a second case:

in one possible example, determining a target device for performing notification of the first message from the device group according to the importance notification level of the first message and/or the first indication information may include the steps of: acquiring equipment service state indication information in the first indication information, wherein the equipment service state indication information is used for indicating whether the current equipment service state of the source equipment is suitable for executing the notification of the first message; and determining the target device from the device group according to the device service state indication information.

It should be noted that, unlike the above-mentioned "case one", the "case two" does not need to consider the important notification degree of the first message, but directly determines one or more electronic devices (i.e. let a plurality of devices fit as much as possible) in the device group according to the device service status indication information to cooperatively notify the first message, thereby implementing message cooperative notification between devices, improving cooperative processing capability between devices, ensuring personalized message notification of the user, and improving use experience of the user.

It can be understood that, in the embodiment of the present application, whether the source device is suitable for executing the notification of the first message is determined first, and then whether other electronic devices except the source device are suitable for executing the collaborative notification of the first message is determined, so that the message collaborative notification between the devices is realized through two determinations. If the source device is suitable for executing the notification of the first message, the notification is directly executed by the source device without judging whether other electronic devices are suitable, so that the cooperative processing efficiency of message notification among the devices is improved.

Case three:

in one possible example, determining a target device for performing notification of the first message from the device group according to the importance notification level of the first message and/or the first indication information may include the steps of: acquiring device execution state indication information in the first indication information, wherein the device execution state indication information can be used for indicating whether other electronic devices except the source device in the device group are suitable for executing the notification of the first message; and determining the target device from the device group according to the device execution state indication information.

It should be noted that, unlike the above-mentioned "case one", the "case three" does not need to consider the important notification degree of the first message, but directly determines one or more electronic devices (i.e. let a plurality of devices fit as much as possible) in the device group according to the device execution state indication information to cooperatively notify the first message, thereby implementing message cooperative notification between devices, improving cooperative processing capability between devices, ensuring personalized message notification of the user, and improving use experience of the user.

It can be understood that the embodiment of the application considers that whether other electronic devices except the source device are suitable for executing the collaborative notification of the first message is judged, so that the message collaborative notification among the devices is realized through the judging process.

Case four:

in one possible example, determining a target device for performing notification of the first message from the device group according to the importance notification level of the first message and/or the first indication information may include the steps of: and if the important notification degree of the first message is smaller than or equal to a preset threshold value, the source equipment is used as the target equipment.

In combination with the description of "case one", "case two", "case three" and "case four" above, the following objects are mainly achieved in the embodiments of the present application: for unimportant messages or messages with low priority, the message notification is mainly executed by the source equipment, and the influence of the message notification on the user experience is reduced; for important messages or messages with high priority, not only the message notification is considered to be executed by the source device, but also other electronic devices except the source device are considered to execute message collaborative notification, so that the user is prevented from failing to immediately (or timely) process (or view) the message notification; for the source device not suitable for executing the message notification, other electronic devices except the source device need to be considered to execute the message notification, so that the user is prevented from failing to immediately (or timely) process (or view) the message notification; for the source device to be suitable for performing the message notification, it is mainly considered that the message notification is performed by the source device, and the message notification may also be performed by other electronic devices besides the source device at the same time.

S430, the source device controls the target device to perform notification of the first message.

Specifically, before S430, the method further includes: the source equipment determines the notification type mode of the first message according to the important notification degree of the first message and/or the first indication information.

It will be appreciated that the notification type manner of the first message may be determined by the importance of the notification level of the first message and/or the first indication information.

The notification type mode can comprise negative one-screen display notification, banner notification, status bar notification, lock screen notification, vibration notification, bell notification, popup window notification, display notification and silence notification.

It should be noted that, first, the embodiment of the present application may determine the notification type manner of the first message according to the important notification degree of the first message. If the importance notification degree of the first message is "important", a notification type manner that can more draw attention of the user (such as popup notification of the first message, vibration notification of the first message, ringing notification of the first message, etc.) may be selected; if the importance of the first message is "unimportant," a notification type manner that does not affect the user (e.g., silent notification of the first message, status bar notification of the first message, banner notification of the first message, etc.) may be selected.

Secondly, the embodiment of the application can determine the notification type mode of the first message according to the first indication information. If the device service status indication information in the first indication information indicates that the current device service status of the source device is suitable for performing notification of the first message, a notification type manner (such as silent notification of the first message, status bar notification of the first message, banner notification of the first message, etc.) that does not affect the user may be selected. This is because, although the source device is suitable for execution, it is possible that the source device is currently executing video playback, music playback, or the like, and the notification type manner that does not affect the user can be selected.

Finally, the embodiment of the application can determine the notification type mode of the first message according to the important notification degree of the first message and the first indication information.

Further, controlling the target device to perform notification of the first message may include the steps of: the control-target device performs notification of the first message in a notification type manner.

In accordance with the above embodiments, the following embodiments of the present application further provide a message notification method, please refer to fig. 5.

S501, the source equipment acquires a first message to be notified and first indication information.

Wherein the source device may be one electronic device of a device group.

The source equipment receives a first message to be notified and triggers the source equipment to carry out collaborative notification operation of the first message. For example, when a mobile phone receives a short message, the general steps are that the content of the short message is received, and then the short message is notified to a user in a popup window mode through a corresponding application.

Wherein the first indication information may be used to indicate whether the electronic devices in the device group are suitable for performing the notification of the first message.

S502, the source device determines the important notification degree of the first message.

The importance notification degree of the first message is determined and is mainly used for judging the importance level (or priority level) of the first message, and the importance notification degree can be classified into high and low. It should be noted that, on the one hand, the present application determines the important notification degree of the first message according to the message content. For example, the priority level of transaction class messages, travel class messages, etc. is "high", and the priority level of notification class messages applied in general is "low". On the other hand, the application can be determined according to the priority level of the user-defined message, for example, the priority level of the short message of a certain contact person and the message containing a certain keyword is 'high'. In addition, the user can also automatically adjust the preset priority level scheme according to the own requirements.

S503, the source device judges the importance level of the first message according to the importance notification degree of the first message.

If the importance notification degree of the first message is greater than the preset threshold, the importance level of the first message is "high", and S505 is executed; if the importance notification level of the first message is less than or equal to the preset threshold, the importance level of the first message is "low", and S504 is performed.

S504, the source device judges whether the source device is suitable for executing the notification of the first message according to the first indication information.

If yes, S507 is executed; if the determination is "no", S506 is executed.

S505, the source device performs notification of the first message.

S506, the source device determines that the user attention of the user is on the first electronic device according to the first indication information.

The simple way how to judge the attention of the user is to judge whether the electronic equipment is in the screen-off state. If the electronic equipment is in the screen-off state, the attention of the user is not on the electronic equipment; otherwise, the user is attentive to the electronic device. In addition, more complex algorithms, such as recognition oriented, eye recognition, etc., may be utilized to determine whether the user's attention is on the electronic device.

S507, the source device executes notification of the first message.

And S508, the source device judges whether the first electronic device is suitable for executing the notification of the first message according to the first indication information.

If yes, then S510 is executed; if the determination is no, S509 is executed.

S509, the source device performs notification of the first message.

S510, the source device controls the first electronic device to perform notification of the first message.

It should be noted that, the description of each embodiment of the present application has a emphasis, so that the portions of the embodiment described in fig. 5 that are not described in detail may refer to the related description of the embodiment described in fig. 4, and are not repeated.

In connection with the above description, the following embodiments of the present application will be exemplified by a device group including a smart phone, a smart watch, a smart speaker, and a smart phone.

For example, referring to fig. 6, the device group includes a smart phone 6101, a smart watch 6102, a smart box 6103, and a smart television 6104. The smart phone 6101 receives a message to be notified. The smart phone 6101 determines that the importance notification level of the message is "unimportant" (the importance level is low or the priority level is low) based on the message content of the message, or that the message is from a news-like application (i.e., news-like message). If the smartphone 6101 is adapted to perform message notification (although the user's 620 user's attention is on the smartphone 6101, the user 620 is facing the smartphone 6101, or the user 620 is using the smartphone 6101 to watch video, etc., the user 620 sets that it may perform notification), the smartphone 6101 may perform notification of the message in the background notification bar without using a pop-up message notification (i.e. silent notification to not affect video viewing). If the smart phone 6101 is suitable for performing message notification, since the smart phone 6101 is associated with the smart watch 6102 (i.e. the user identification information of the user 620 is associated or a communication connection is established between them), and the user sets that the smart watch 6102 can perform a message notification function (i.e. the smart watch 6102 is suitable for performing notification of the message), the smart watch 6102 notifies the user 620 of the message in a vibration manner. The goal of the interaction mode between the user and the device in the scene is to avoid message notification from interrupting the user to watch video and the like as much as possible.

For example, referring to fig. 7, the device group includes a smart phone 7101, a smart watch 7102, a smart speaker 7103, and a smart television 7104. The smart phone 7101 receives a message to be notified. Since the message is a message of a bank card transaction, the smart phone 7101 determines that the importance notification level of the message is "important" (the importance level is high or the priority level is high) according to the message type or the message content of the message. At this time, since the smart phone 7101 is in the video play service, and the message is an important message. If the smart phone 7101 is adapted to perform a message notification function (although the user's 720 user's attention is on the smart phone 7101, the user 720 is facing the smart phone 7101, or the user 720 is watching video using the smart phone 7101, etc., the user 720 sets that notification can be performed), the smart phone 7101 notifies the user 720 of the message by the ringing method. At the same time, smart phone 7101 may also control smart watch 7102 to notify user 720 of the message in a vibratory manner. If the smart phone 7101 is not suitable for performing the message notification function, the smart phone 7101 needs to control the smart watch 7102 to notify the user 720 of the message in a vibratory manner.

For example, referring to fig. 8, the device group includes a smart phone 8101, a smart watch 8102, a smart speaker 8103, and a smart television 8104. The smart phone 8101 receives a message to be notified. Since the message is a cryptographically verified message, the mobile phone 8101 determines that the importance notification level of the message is "important" (importance level is high or priority level is high) according to the message content or the message type of the message. At this time, since the smart phone 8101 is in the off-screen state (i.e., the user's 820 user's attention is not in the smart phone 8101 or the user 820 does not use the smart phone 8101), it is necessary to determine whether the smart watch 8102, the smart speaker 8103, and the smart television 8104 in the device group are suitable for performing notification of the message (i.e., determine whether the user's 820 user's attention is in these electronic devices). For example, the determination may be made by whether a service (video playback, etc.) is being performed on these electronic devices or using techniques such as face orientation.
