[0033] Optionally, the designated application may include one or multiple designated applications. Correspondingly, displaying the unread message of the designated application may include displaying the unread message of one designated application, or displaying the unread message of multiple designated applications simultaneously.

[0034] Any combination of all the above optional solutions may be used to form an optional example of the present disclosure, which is not described in detail herein.

[0035] FIG. 2 is a flow diagram illustrating a method for checking a message according to an example of the present disclosure. The implementation entity of the example is a mobile terminal. As shown in FIG. 2, the method may include the following operations.

[0036] In Block 201, when a starting instruction of the designated application is received, detect a quick identification state, where the quick identification state is on state or off state.

[0037] In an example, the designated application may be an instant communication software, or a gravity game software, which is not defined in the examples of the present disclosure.

[0038] Here, the quick identification state of the designated application is on state or off state. When it is detected that the quick identification state of the designated application is on state, it indicates that the user enables a function of message quick checking, then the following steps are performed. When it is detected that the quick identification state of the designated application is off state, it indicates that the user closes the function of message quick checking, and then it ends. The quick identification state of the designated application may be set by technicians when developing to be a default on state, or set by the users during usage, which is not defined in the examples of the present disclosure.

[0039] In Block 202, when it is detected by the mobile terminal that the quick identification state of the designated application is on state, in operational process of a designated application, by calling an API corresponding to at least one sensor configured in the mobile terminal, obtain sensor information of at least one sensor configured in the mobile terminal.

[0040] The example is applied in the usage scenario of the mobile terminal configured with at least one sensor. By applying the at least one sensor, sensor information of the at least one sensor may be obtained.

[0041] It should be noted that, the process of obtaining sensor information of at least one sensor in the mobile terminal may be performed in real time. Preferably, when it is detected that the quick identification state of the designated application is on state, in operational process of a designated application, by calling an API corresponding to at least one sensor configured in the mobile terminal, obtain sensor information of at least one sensor configured in the mobile terminal in real time.

[0042] Optionally, the at least one sensor may be a gravity sensor or a gyroscope. Correspondingly, sensor information of the at least one sensor includes accelerated speed information and/or angular speed information of the mobile terminal.

[0043] Correspondingly, in Block 202, it specifically includes: when it is detected that the quick identification state of the designated application is on state, in operational process of a designated application, by calling an API corresponding to a gravity sensor in the mobile terminal, obtaining accelerated speed information of the mobile terminal; or when it is detected that the quick identification state of the designated application is on state, in operational process of a designated application, by calling an API corresponding to a gyroscope in the mobile terminal, obtaining angular speed information of the mobile terminal; or when it is detected that the quick identification state of the designated application is on state, in operational process of a designated application, by calling an API corresponding to a gravity sensor in the mobile terminal and an API corresponding to a gyroscope in the mobile terminal, obtaining accelerated speed information and angular speed information of the mobile terminal, respectively.

[0044] In Block 203, detect whether the sensor information is changed; the detection may be implemented by comparing the sensor information obtained currently with the sensor information obtained last time. In addition, the detection may also be implemented by supervising the sensor information.

[0045] In Block 204, when the sensor information is changed, determine whether a change rule of the sensor information complies with a predetermined rule. [0046] Optionally, when the sensor information is an accelerated speed, determine whether the change interval of the accelerated speed is larger than a predetermined threshold. When the change interval of the accelerated speed is larger than the predetermined threshold, the change rule of the sensor information complies with the predetermined rule.

[0047] In an example, the predetermined operation corresponding to the predetermined rule is a shake operation. When the accelerated speed is changed, and the change interval is larger than the predetermined threshold, it is determined that the user triggers a shake operation. At this time, the change rule of the sensor information complies with the predetermined rule

[0048] Further optionally, when the sensor information is an angular speed, determine whether the change curve of the angular speed matches with a predetermined curve. When the change curve of the angular speed matches with the predetermined curve, the change rule of the sensor information complies with the predetermined rule.

[0049] In an example, the predetermined operation corresponding to the predetermined rule is a user-defined operation. The user may define a certain pose change of the mobile terminal to trigger displaying. The pose change has a corresponding predetermined curve of the angular speed. When the current change curve of the angular speed matches with the predetermined curve of the angular speed, it is determined that the user-defined operation is detected. At this time, the change rule of the sensor information complies with the predetermined rule.

[0050] Here, with respect to different types of sensors in the mobile terminal, the predetermined rule may be different. In an example, the predetermined rule may include a predetermined accelerated speed rule, a predetermined angular speed rule, etc.

[0051] Specifically, when the accelerated speed information is changed, determine whether the change rule of the accelerated speed information complies with a predetermined accelerated speed rule. When the angular speed information is changed, determine whether the change rule of the angular speed information complies with a predetermined angular speed rule. When the change rule of the accelerated speed information complies with the predetermined accelerated speed rule, or the change rule of the angular speed information complies with the predetermined angular speed rule, it can be determined that the change rule of the sensor information complies with the predetermined rule.

[0052] Here, criteria of the predetermined accelerated speed rule may be a change direction of accelerated speed information, or a change interval of accelerated speed information, thus when determining whether the change rule of the accelerated speed information complies with a predetermined accelerated speed rule, it may determine whether the change direction of accelerated speed information complies with the change direction included in the predetermined accelerated speed rule, or determine whether the change interval of accelerated speed information complies with the change interval included in the predetermined accelerated speed rule. Criteria of the predetermined angular speed rule may be a tilt angle of angular speed information, or number of rotations of angular speed information, thus when determining whether the change rule of the angular speed information complies with a predetermined angular speed rule, it may determine whether the tilt angle of angular speed information complies with the tilt angle included in the predetermined angular speed, or determine whether the number of rotations of angular speed information complies with the number of rotations included in the predetermined angular speed. The specific criteria are not defined in the examples of the present disclosure.

[0053] For example, assume the predetermined accelerated speed rule as the accelerated speed of the mobile terminal changed from 0 meter per square second to over 12 meters per square second. When it is detected that the accelerated speed is changed, and the accelerated speed is changed from 0 meter per square second to 15 meters per square second, it is determined that the change rule of the accelerated speed information complies with the predetermined accelerated speed rule, i.e., the change rule of the sensor information complies with the predetermined rule.

[0054] For another example, assume the predetermined change curve of the angular speed is the change curve of the angular speed generated when the mobile terminal turns right for one time and then turns left until the original position. When it is detected that the angular speed information is changed, and the change curve of the angular speed matches with the predetermined change curve of the angular speed, it is determined that it is detected that the mobile terminal turns right for one time and then turns left until the original position, thus the change rule of the angular speed information matches with the predetermined angular speed rule, i.e., the change rule of the sensor information complies with the predetermined rule.

[0055] Before Block 204, the method further includes: obtaining the predetermined rule.

[0056] Here, the predetermined rule may be set by the technicians when developing; or when installing the designated application, enabling the function of setting the predetermined rule, obtaining the predetermined operation input by the user, and obtaining the change rule corresponding to the predetermined operation as the predetermined rule; or during usage by the user, triggering the instruction of setting the predetermined rule, performing the addition or cancelling operations, etc. to the predetermined rule, which is not defined in the examples of the present disclosure.

[0057] It should be noted that, according to the predetermined rule, a type of a sensor can be determined, and the sensor information of a mobile terminal corresponding to the type can be obtained in operational process of a designated application. In particular, after the

predetermined rule is obtained, according to the predetermined operation included in the predetermined rule, it may determine the sensor corresponding to the predetermined operation is a gravity sensor, a gyroscope or others. Thus, in Block 202, it may obtain the sensor information only according to the sensor corresponding to the predetermined operation. This avoids obtaining the sensor information respectively corresponding to each sensor of the mobile terminal, thus the process is simplified, and the delay is reduced.

[0058] For example, when it is obtained that the predetermined operation included in the predetermined rule is a shake operation, it may be determined that the sensor corresponding to the shake operation is a gravity sensor, thus in Block 202, in operational process of a designated application, by calling an API corresponding to a gravity sensor in the mobile terminal, obtain accelerated speed information of the mobile terminal, without obtaining the angular speed information of the mobile terminal by calling an API corresponding to a gyroscope in the mobile terminal.

[0059] In Block 205, when it is detected that the change rule of the sensor information complies with the predetermined rule, determine whether there is an unread message available in the designated application. [0060] In an example, all the messages of the designated application are stored in the message aggregator of the designated application. By receiving a checking instruction for the message aggregator, it may display the message corresponding to the checking instruction. Correspondingly, the Block 205 specifically includes: when it is detected that the change rule of the sensor information complies with the predetermined rule, determining whether there is an unread message available in the message aggregator of the designated application.

[0061] Further, when determining whether there is an unread message available in the message aggregator of the designated application, it may determine according to a reading identification of the message in the message aggregator of the designated application. The reading identification may include a read identification or an unread identification; or it may determine according to a time when receiving the message in the message aggregator of the designated application and a time when the mobile terminal accesses the message aggregator, which is not defined in the examples of the present disclosure. Preferably, traverse the reading identification of each message in the message aggregator of the designated application. When it is detected that the reading identification of any one message is the unread identification, it is determined that an unread message is available in the message aggregator.

[0062] In Block 206, when it is determined that there is an unread message available in the designated application, display an unread message of the designated application, and then perform Block 203.

[0063] In an example, when it is detected that the change rule of the sensor information complies with the predetermined rule, and there is an unread message available in the designated application, automatically display the unread message in the message aggregator, without manually switch the display interface by the user, thus the operation of the user is simplified.

[0064] In Block 206, it may use any one of the following manners:

[0065] (1) when it is determined that an unread message is available in the designated application, display a latest unread message of the designated application. [0066] In specific, when it is determined that an unread message is available in the message aggregator of the designated application, obtain a latest unread message of the designated application, and display the latest unread message; or, when it is determined that an unread message is available in the message aggregator of the designated application, obtain part of contents of a latest unread message of the designated application, and display the part of contents of the latest unread message.

[0067] (2) when it is determined that an unread message is available in the designated application, display an unread message list of the designated application, where the unread message list includes at least one unread message and a message identification corresponding to the at least one unread message.

[0068] Here, the message identification corresponding to the unread message may be the contact information corresponding to the unread message, or the keywords included in the unread message, or part of contents of the unread message, which is not defined in the examples of the present disclosure.

[0069] In specific, when displaying an unread message list of the designated application, it may display all the unread messages of the designated application, or display part of the unread messages of the designated application. In specific, it may include any one of the following manners:

(a) display an unread message received in a predetermined time interval before the present moment, among the unread messages of the designated application;

(b) display an unread message sent by a predetermined contact, among the unread messages of the designated application;

(c) display an unread message including a predetermined keyword, among the unread messages of the designated application;

[0070] Here, the predetermined time interval, the predetermined contact, or the predetermined keyword as described in the above three manners may be set by the user, and be added, or cancelled, etc. during usage. And in the examples of the present disclosure, it is not limited to the above three manners, it also may selectively display according to the popularity or type of the unread message, which is not defined in the examples of the present disclosure.

[0071] Optionally, when it is determined that there is an unread message available in the designated application, and the number of the unread messages reaches a predetermined threshold, display an unread message list of the designated application. The predetermined threshold may be set by technicians when developing, or set by the users during usage, which is not defined in the examples of the present disclosure. Here, the user may set the predetermined threshold, and check the predetermined threshold number of unread messages all together during usage according to his/her requirements of checking information. Compared with displaying only one unread message at one time, displaying the predetermined threshold number of unread messages can avoid the impact on the user's current usage scenario caused by frequently displaying unread messages.

[0072] The above-described manners (1) and (2) are both optional. It may be a default setting to display one of latest unread messages, or display a plurality of unread messages of the designated application, which is not defined in the examples of the present disclosure. Here, when displaying an unread message of the designated application, it may display all the contents of the unread message so as to make the user to check the complete unread message, or display the message identification corresponding to the unread message, i.e., display the contact information corresponding to the unread message or part of contents so as to show the user a message reminder.

[0073] Correspondingly, after performing the above-described (2), the method further includes: when an open instruction of any one message identification in the unread message list is detected, displaying the unread message corresponding to the open instruction.

[0074] In specific, the mobile terminal provides the user an unread message reminder according to the unread message list. When the user needs to check any one of the unread messages in the unread message list, click the message identification of the unread message which needs to be checked, and trigger an open instruction of the message identification of the unread message which needs to be checked. When the open instruction is detected by the mobile terminal, display the unread message which needs to be checked. [0075] Optionally, when the mobile terminal displays the unread message list, obtain a predetermined character number of contents of each unread message in the unread message list. When the open instruction is detected, obtain all the contents of the unread message corresponding to the open instruction, and display all the contents of the unread message corresponding to the open instruction.

[0076] In Block 207, when a return instruction is received, the interface displayed currently is switched to the interface displayed before displaying the unread message of the designated application.

[0077] The difference from the prior art is that, when checking an unread message in operation process of the designated application, and the user needs to return to the interface displayed before displaying the unread message, the user only needs to trigger the return instruction. In the examples, it avoids the user to manually return to the main interface of designated application in advance, and then manually switch to the interface displayed before displaying an unread message. Hence, it is simple and convenient to operate.

[0078] FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram illustrating a display of an unread message list according to an example of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 3, assume the predetermined rule is a shake operation. When it is detected that the user triggers a shake operation, display an unread message list shown in FIG. 3. Before displaying the unread message list, an original interface may be any kind of interface displayed in the mobile terminal, for example, the original interface may be a common interface (e.g. a main interface, or a locked interface), or an interface of the designated application, which is different from the interface displaying the unread messages of the designated application, or an interface of another application different from the designated application. When displaying the unread message list, the original interface is switched to the interface displaying the unread messages of the designated application.

[0079] The unread message list includes message identifications of three unread messages, i.e., an icon of contact "nickname 1", the nickname and part of contents of a first unread message and its received time, an icon of contact "nickname 2", the nickname and part of contents of a second unread message and its received time, and an icon of contact "nickname 3", the nickname and part of contents of a third unread message and its received time. When the user needs to check the first unread message, click the message identification of the first unread message, and display complete information of the first unread message in the mobile terminal. For the instant communication software, when the user clicks the message identification of the first unread message, enter the conversation interface of the user and contact "nickname 1", so that the user may make a conversation with contact "nickname 1".

[0080] When the user needs to return to the interface displayed before displaying the unread message of the designated application, by clicking the 'return' button at the left bottom, trigger the return instruction, and the interface displayed currently is switched to the displayed interface before displaying the unread message of the designated application.

[0081] According to the method provided by the present disclosure, in the operational process of a designated application, sensor information of the mobile terminal is obtained. When the change rule of the sensor information complies with the predetermined rule, the unread messages of the designated application are displayed. Through detecting the change of the sensor information of the mobile terminal, the unread messages at the message aggregation entrance are automatically displayed, without any manual display by the user, and when a return instruction is received, the interface displayed currently is switched to the interface displayed before displaying the unread messages of the designated application, so that it avoids the user to manually return to the main interface of designated application in advance, and then manually switch to the interface displayed before displaying unread messages, hence it is simple and convenient to operate.

[0082] FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram illustrating a structure of a device for checking a message according to an example of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 4, the device includes: an information obtaining module 401, a change detection module 402, a rule determining module 403, a message displaying module 404.

[0084] Optionally, the rule determining module 403 includes: a first rule determining unit, configured to determine whether the change interval of the accelerated speed is larger than a predetermined threshold. When the change interval of the accelerated speed is larger than the predetermined threshold, the change rule of the sensor information complies with the predetermined rule; or a second rule determining unit, configured to determine whether the change curve of the angular speed matches with a predetermined curve. When the change curve matches with the predetermined curve, the change rule of the sensor information complies with the predetermined rule.

[0085] Optionally, the device further includes: an identification state detection module 410, configured to, when a starting instruction of the designated application is received, detect a quick identification state of the designated application, where the quick identification state is on state or off state.

[0086] Correspondingly, the information obtaining module 401 is configured to, when it is detected that the quick identification state of the designated application is on state, obtain sensor information of a mobile terminal in operational process of a designated application.

[0087] Optionally, the message displaying module 404 includes: a message determining unit, configured to, when it is detected that the change rule of the sensor information complies with the predetermined rule, determine whether an unread message is available in the designated application; and a message displaying unit, configured to, when it is determined that an unread message is available in the designated application, display an unread message of the designated application. [0088] Optionally, the message displaying unit is configured to, when it is determined that an unread message is available in the designated application, display a latest unread message of the designated application.

[0089] Optionally, the message displaying unit is configured to, when it is determined that an unread message is available in the designated application, display an unread message list of the designated application, where the unread message list includes at least one unread message and a message identification corresponding to the at least one unread message; and when an open instruction of any one message identification in the unread message list is detected, display an unread message corresponding to the open instruction.

[0091] Optionally, the information obtaining module 401 is configured to, in operational process of a designated application, by calling an API corresponding to at least one sensor configured in the mobile terminal, obtain sensor information of at least one sensor configured in the mobile terminal.

[0092] Optionally, the at least one sensor may be a gravity sensor or a gyroscope. Correspondingly, sensor information of the at least one sensor includes accelerated speed information and/or angular speed information of the mobile terminal.

[0093] Optionally, the designated application may include one or multiple designated applications. Correspondingly, the message displaying module 404 is configured to, when it is detected that the change rule of the sensor information complies with the predetermined rule, display the unread message of one designated application, or display the unread message of multiple designated applications simultaneously.

[0094] According to the device provided by the present disclosure, in the operational process of a designated application, sensor information of the mobile terminal is obtained.
