Background technique

At present, mobile phones are becoming people's information centers, and a large number of applications are installed in mobile phones, and most applications have notification functions. Mobile app notifications refer to the use of certain applications, which will notify the reminder in the status bar when there is a notification message, or directly pop up the window to remind.

Many people have this experience. When the mobile phone opens the data connection and places it for one day, the notification bar of the mobile phone will have a large number of notification messages. The notification messages of various applications are piled one by one in the drop-down menu of the notification bar, if not clicked on it. If you go on, it will be resident in the status bar, causing the entire drop-down menu to be completely filled with notification messages. There are often several screens, and it is difficult for users to find useful messages, and the experience is extremely poor. There is also a case where the data connection is normally closed. When the network is connected, a large number of notification messages are flooded in a short period of time, which seriously interferes with the normal use of the user. In addition, the notification message of the current notification bar disappears after being clicked, and cannot be viewed twice.

Detailed ways

The embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that, in the case of no conflict, the features in the embodiments and the embodiments in the present application may be arbitrarily combined with each other.

Embodiment 1

The embodiment provides an application notification management method, which improves the user experience of the application notification function by applying classification.

The application notification management method of the present embodiment includes an application notification presentation method. As shown in FIG. 1 , the application notification presentation method includes: Step 110: The terminal displays an identifier of the application on the terminal on the first interface, where the application includes the first Applying; in step 120, the terminal displays the notification message of the first application through the second interface in response to the selecting operation of the identifier of the first application on the first interface. The first application here refers to an application on the terminal and does not need to be a special application.

The terminal in this embodiment uses a mobile phone as an example but is not limited thereto.

In this embodiment, the first interface and the second interface are display interfaces of a system-level application (APP) on the terminal, and the system-level application is installed in a system partition. In one example, the system level application is a new application that can be rendered in a separate module form with separate entries, for example, by clicking on the icon of the system level application on the desktop. The application can also automatically start the system-level application after booting, enter the first interface, and display the identifier of the application on the terminal in the first interface, usually, an application icon showing at least part of the application on the terminal, Can be marked with a text. In addition to the logo, the first interface can display other content. For example, for an application that has an unread notification message, an unread mark can be added to the first interface, and the number of unread notification messages can be noted. In another embodiment, the system level application for presenting the notification bar on the terminal can be modified to use the first interface and the second interface as the interface of the notification bar. This application does not limit the application notification notification method to specifically implement the software of the terminal.

In this embodiment, the identifier of the application may be selectively displayed on the first interface. Specifically, a fourth interface may be added, and the terminal displays an option of the identifier of the at least one application on the first interface on the fourth interface. And an option not to be presented; the terminal exhibiting an identification of the application on the first interface in response to the selected operation of the presented option. In this manner, the first interface displays an application that the user actively selects to view the notification message, and the application identifier on the first interface is less, which is convenient for the user to view. However, in another embodiment, the identification of which applications are presented on the first interface may also be determined by the system level application described above, such as displaying the identification of all applications for which the notification bar needs to present its notification message on the first interface.

In this embodiment, the selecting operation of the identifier of the first application on the first interface may be a click operation on an icon of the first application on the first interface, or another touch operation that may start the first application. In response to the selected operation, the display interface jumps to a second interface for displaying an application notification message, and on the second interface, the notification message of the first application may be displayed in a list manner, and the notification message in the list may be received according to The order of the time is sorted, and only the icon and description of the notification message can be displayed in the list. The second interface has a list of notification messages, which is different from the first interface, but the application does not impose any limitation on the specific form of the second interface. For example, the second interface may be a brand new interface dedicated to displaying a list of notification messages of an application. For example, the second interface may still display the identifier of the application, but add a list of notification messages of the selected application, such as the following. Pull the menu or pop-up menu to display a list of notification messages.

Compared with the manner in which the application notification is displayed through the pull-down menu, the present embodiment classifies the notification, the first level is the application classification, and the second level is the notification of each application. After the classification, the notification message of the same application is displayed in a list, which is convenient for the user to find, thereby improving the user experience.

In this embodiment, the notification message of the first application includes a first notification message (a notification message in the list), and after the terminal displays the notification message of the first application by using the second interface, the method further includes Responding to the selection operation of the first notification message on the second interface (such as the user clicking the first notification message in the list), jumping to the interface of the first application to display the first a notification message; the terminal returns to the second interface in response to a closing operation of the interface of the first application (such as a user clicking a back button of the terminal), and retaining the number on the second interface A notification message.

Different from the current notification bar display application notification, the notification message list of the embodiment includes the read notification message and the unread notification message. That is to say, if a notification message is read by the user, it is not automatically deleted from the list, but remains in the list for the user to view twice. In the notification message list, you can distinguish which notification messages have been read and which notification messages have not been read by tags. In this embodiment, an independent deletion function is supported for each notification message, and the user can perform manual deletion and the like on the selected one or more notification messages.

In this embodiment, the terminal further provides a third interface configured to configure a notification processing mode for the application and completes configuration of the notification processing mode of the application according to the input instruction. The application notification management method of this embodiment further includes the following notification processing mode configuration method:

The terminal displays, in the third interface, a plurality of notification processing modes that are configurable for the first application, where the multiple notification processing modes include a write inhibit mode;

The terminal, in response to the selecting operation of the write inhibit mode on the third interface, configuring the notification processing mode of the first application to be in the write inhibit mode, directly reporting the notification message retrieved by the first application Discard and not notify the user.

In this embodiment, the user may separately configure each application, or may apply unified configuration for multiple selected applications or all applications. The configurable notification processing mode includes prohibiting prompting and prompting in addition to prohibiting writing.

If the notification processing mode of the first application is configured to prompt, the terminal saves the notification message retrieved by the first application, and notifies the user, for example, by means of ringing, shaking, or the like. The notification message may be saved by a module on the terminal for implementing the application notification management method of the embodiment, such as a newly added system-level application, and the user may click the application icon of the system-level application to enter the first interface, and then click the first interface. An icon of an application enters the second interface to view a notification message of the first application. If the user wants to view the notification message of the first application in time, the notification processing mode of the first application may be configured to prompt.

If the notification processing mode of the first application is configured to prohibit the prompt, the terminal saves the notification message retrieved by the application, but does not notify the user, that is, the terminal does not play the ring tone or notify the user by vibration, and may not be in the drop-down menu form. Any notification message for the first app is displayed in the notification bar. If the user needs to view the notification message of the first application but does not want to be disturbed, the notification processing mode of the first application may be configured to prohibit the prompt.

If the notification processing mode of the first application is configured to prohibit writing, the terminal directly discards the notification message retrieved by the first application (ie, prohibits writing to the terminal), and does not notify the user. If the user does not need to view the notification message of the first application, the notification processing mode of the first application may be set to prohibit writing to save resources of the terminal.

For the purposes of this application, the configurable notification processing mode may also be two of the prohibition of writing, the prohibition of prompting, and the prompting, and one of the notification processing modes may adopt the default mode. For example, in another embodiment, the configurable notification processing mode displayed on the third interface is write disabled, the user may select or not select the write inhibit mode, and if the write disable mode is not selected, the default is user configuration. It is the prompt mode.

The application's notification management mode can also be configured in some mobile phone application managers (usually in the system configuration menu). In this embodiment, the configuration function of the notification processing mode of the application is also implemented in the above system level application. In order to facilitate the user, the embodiment also synchronizes the configuration of the notification processing mode of the same application between the system level application and the application manager, and also unifies the notification processing mode of one of the two modules into These two modules are the notification processing mode that is most recently set for this application. For example, if the user configures the WeChat notification processing mode to disable the prompt in the system level application (also referred to as the application notification control center), but later configures the WeChat notification processing mode to prompt in the application manager. The system-level application automatically updates the notification processing mode of WeChat to prompt, that is, overwrites the old configuration with the new configuration. Since the system-level application has system-level permissions, the configuration made by the user for the application is also saved after the application is updated. In another embodiment, the configuration of the notification processing mode of the application is implemented in the application manager of the terminal, and the application notification display function is implemented in the newly added system level application. In addition, the processing of the message retrieved by the application may also be implemented by other modules, such as improving the application of the display notification bar, so that the notification message of the application can be processed according to the configured application notification mode, and saved in the data table. The application for implementing the application notification display can read the message retrieved by the application from the data table.

The application notification control method of the embodiment provides a new application notification management experience for the user, such as notification classification, notification prohibition, and multiple viewing for the terminal application notification.

Embodiment 2

This embodiment provides a specific example based on the method of Embodiment 1.

In this embodiment, a system-level application for application notification management is added to the mobile phone as an application notification control center, and the application notification is controlled. The application notification may be a push message of the application (if there is a new version release, an advertisement, a recommendation news, etc.), or may be an instant message of a third party application such as WeChat, QQ, or the like.

The following describes the process for the user to view the notification message through the system-level application in the embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, including:

Step 210: After the mobile phone is started, in response to the user clicking the icon of the system-level application, entering a main interface of the system-level application, where the application icon of the multiple applications on the mobile phone is displayed to the user;

FIG. 3 shows an exemplary main interface, where the application icons and application names of multiple applications on the terminal, such as security tokens, Baidu maps, Baidu mobile assistants, and the like, are displayed on the interface.

Step 220: The system-level application jumps to a notification message display interface of the corresponding application in response to a click operation on an application icon on the main interface;

For example, after clicking the icon of Baidu map in the main interface, the user will transfer to the notification message display interface of Baidu map to display a list of application notification messages of Baidu map. In the list, for each application notification message, only the application icon and the description information of the application notification message may be displayed, but unlike the notification bar of the mobile phone, the application notification message of the Baidu map is displayed in the list.

Step 230: The system-level application jumps to an application interface related to the application notification message in response to a click operation on an application notification message in the application notification message list.

For example, when viewing the application notification message list of the Baidu map, the user clicks one of the application notification messages, and then jumps to the interface related to the application notification message of the Baidu map.

In this embodiment, after the user views an application notification message in the application notification message list, the application notification message is marked as read in the application notification message list, but the application notification message is not automatically deleted.

The above steps are the steps of message viewing. The following describes the configuration steps of the notification processing mode of the application, as shown in FIG. 4, including:

Step 310: After the mobile phone is started, in response to the user clicking the operation icon of the system-level application, entering a main interface of the system-level application, where the application icon of the multiple applications on the mobile phone is displayed to the user;

Step 320: In response to a user operation of notifying an application mode corresponding to an application icon, entering a configuration interface of the notification processing mode of the application, the configuration interface includes three configurations of prohibiting writing, prohibiting prompting, and prompting Notification processing mode;

The user operation for mode configuration of an application corresponding to an application icon may have various definitions. For example, a long press of an application icon may pop up a configuration interface; for example, first let the user select an application icon of the application to be configured, and then click the display. The configuration menu in the bottom menu; for example, a configuration link is set after each application icon, and the configuration interface of the application is performed after the user clicks, etc., and the application does not limit this.

Step 330: Configure the notification processing mode of the application to the selected notification processing mode in response to a selection operation of one of the prohibition of writing, the prohibition of prompting, and the presentation of the notification.

After an application on the mobile phone runs, the application notification message is retrieved from the network side (that is, the application initiates a query to the application server, and the application server pushes the application notification message to the mobile phone). At this time, the application notification message retrieved by the application only includes the application icon, the description information, the link, and the like, and is not a complete message, and the subsequent complete need to retrieve the complete message by sending a link request. After the application retrieves its own application notification message, it will invoke a notification management service provided by the mobile operating system, such as (notifycationmanager), to write the retrieved application notification message to the corresponding database. In this embodiment, the notifycationmanager is modified and extended (the notifycationmanager is part of the above system-level application), and the notifycationmanager, when called, checks the notification processing mode of the application, and if the notification processing mode of the application is configured to prohibit writing, The application notification message retrieved by the application is discarded, and no write operation is performed. No notification is given. If the notification processing mode of the application is configured to prohibit the prompt, the application notification message retrieved by the application is written to the corresponding database for storage, and is ready for the user to view, but does not prompt by sound or vibration. If the notification processing mode of the application is configured to prompt, the application notification message retrieved by the application is written to the corresponding database for storage, and is prompted by sound or vibration.
