[0022] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all of the embodiments.

[0023] In order to facilitate understanding of the technical solutions provided by the embodiments of the present application, the application scenarios of the embodiments of the present application and the technical terms that may be involved are first introduced.

[0024] With the continuous development of mobile Internet, mobile phones and other communication devices are becoming indispensable tools in people's daily lives. Take mobile phones as an example. They have more and more functions and are installed with many applications (APPs). When users' transactions, points, status, account balance and other information change, they will receive notification information in time. In addition to traditional SMS methods, APP application notifications or third-party platform in-site messages will also be used for push notifications and displayed in the notification bar.

[0025] For example, when a mobile phone receives an incoming call, the mobile phone can display the incoming caller ID. However, when the mobile phone is not with the user, or the mobile phone is placed in the user's trouser pocket or handbag, the mobile phone may not allow the user to perceive and process the incoming call or message in time.

[0026] At present, wearable devices have become a part of people's work and life. For example, people can carry wearable devices (such as smart watches) with them to record sports data, health data, and check time information. In some cases, people may establish a short-range communication link between the wearable device and the mobile phone, so that the wearable device and the mobile phone can transmit data to each other. Since wearable devices are usually worn by users, the display interface of the wearable device can enable users to perceive incoming calls (or messages) in time so as to handle the calls and provide convenience for users.

[0027] In the embodiments of the present application, the communication device may be referred to as a terminal device, a terminal, a user equipment (UE), a user terminal, an access terminal, a user unit, a user station, a mobile station, a mobile station (MS), a mobile terminal (MT), a remote terminal, a remote station, a mobile device, a wireless communication device, a user agent or a user device. The terminal device in the embodiments of the present application may be a device that provides voice and / or data connectivity to a user, and may be used to connect people, objects and machines, such as a handheld device with a wireless connection function, a vehicle-mounted device, etc. The terminal devices in the embodiments of the present application may include but are not limited to mobile phones, tablet computers, laptop computers, PDAs, mobile internet devices (MID), virtual reality (VR) devices, augmented reality (AR) devices, wireless terminals in industrial control, wireless terminals in self-driving, wireless terminals in remote medical surgery, wireless terminals in smart grids, wireless terminals in transportation safety, wireless terminals in smart cities, wireless terminals in smart homes, etc. Optionally, UE can be used to act as a base station. Cellular phones and smart home devices communicate without relaying communication signals through base stations.

[0028] In the embodiments of the present application, the wearable device may include but is not limited to a smart bracelet, a smart watch, smart glasses, an augmented reality wearable device, etc. The embodiments of the present application do not limit the specific technology and specific device form used by the wearable device.

[0029] The following uses the commonly used Apple Notification Center Service (ANCS) protocol as an example. The ANCS protocol can transmit notification messages on the mobile phone to smart watches or other peripheral accessories via Bluetooth links, which can prompt (or alert) users to check messages immediately.

[0030] For example, when a text message is received on a mobile phone, a notification message of the newly received text message can be seen through the notification bar on the mobile phone (the notification bar appears by sliding down from the upper left corner of the screen). The content of the notification message may include: the sender, a brief summary of the text message, etc.

[0031] If the mobile phone is linked to the watch via Bluetooth, the mobile phone will send a prompt message to the watch. The prompt message contains a unique identifier, which identifies the notification message (i.e., corresponds to the text message). For example, the letter K can be used to represent the unique identifier value used here.

[0032] After receiving the prompt message, the watch can send a request message including the unique identifier K to the mobile phone to obtain the detailed content of the message and the specified message parameter content.

[0033] This reminder message is not only for messages such as text messages, any message content that appears in the notification bar of the mobile phone can be sent to the watch in this way.

[0034] If there is a reminder message notification of a text message, the unique identifier value it contains is K; at this time, a WeChat message comes, and the unique identifier used for the WeChat message is inconsistent with K. That is, different unread notification messages correspond to different identifiers, and the unique identifiers will not be repeated, so as to ensure the uniqueness of the notification message and avoid confusion and conflict.

[0035] However, this method requires recording the notification messages that have been viewed, which is not conducive to simplifying the memory management of the mobile phone.

[0036] It should be noted that in the message notification services of the mobile phones and watches mentioned above, the unique identifier of the notification information will not be repeated, and the problem of large memory usage is only an example. The embodiments of the present application can be applied to the message notification service between communication devices. The identifier management of the notification information is not conducive to simplifying any type of scenario in which memory is not simplified.

[0037] Therefore, how to develop a solution for managing notification information that reduces memory usage is a problem that needs to be solved.

[0038] Based on this, an embodiment of the present application proposes a method for managing notification messages. Figure 1 This is a flow chart of the method for managing notification messages proposed in the application embodiment. Figure 1 The method for managing notification messages in an embodiment of the present application is described in detail. The method is applied to a first communication device, and the first communication device may be any of the communication devices described above. Figure 1 As shown, the method for managing notification messages may mainly include steps S110 to S140, which are described in detail below.

[0039] It should be pointed out that the size of the serial numbers of the steps in the embodiments of the present application does not mean the order of execution. The execution order of each process should be determined by its function and internal logic, and should not constitute any limitation on the implementation process of the embodiments of the present application.

[0040] In step S110, a first notification message is generated. The first notification message is notification information of the received first message, and the first message is a signaling message associated with the communication service. The first notification message includes a first identifier, and the first identifier is identification information associated with the first notification message, and the first identifier is an identifier in the pool of in-use identifiers. That is, the first identifier and the first notification message are associated with each other in a one-to-one mapping relationship.

[0041] Among them, the signaling message associated with the communication service can be information from a cellular network, information from a WiFi local area network, or information from a future wireless communication network. The first message can be, for example, any of the following messages: a missed call, a text message, a message from another service, or a message from a predetermined application. The predetermined application can be a currently commonly used application or an application that will appear in the future. For example, the first message can be a message from a WeChat APP, or a message from a bank APP.

[0042] Identifiers can be divided into used identifiers and standby identifiers. Identifiers associated with unread notification information are used identifiers, and identifiers in the standby identifier pool that have not established an association with notification information are standby identifiers. The first identifier can be unique identification information associated with the first notification message. Different notification information has unused identifiers, that is, each notification information has a unique identifier.

[0043] The notification message is usually displayed in the notification bar of the first communication device, and the notification bar is usually displayed by sliding down from the upper left (top) of the screen of the first communication device. The notification message can be any information that may appear in the notification bar, such as a preview of a text message, a missed call, information of user applications such as WeChat, and messages of system built-in applications or services (such as prompts that an update package is available).

[0044] In step S120, a first notification message is sent to the second communication device. A wireless communication link is established between the second communication device and the first communication device. The second communication device may be, for example, a wearable device, such as a smart bracelet, a smart watch, smart glasses, etc. The second communication device may also be any device based on short-range wireless communication such as Bluetooth, such as a vehicle-mounted system, a television, etc. that can receive notification information on the first communication device. The second communication device may also be a device based on wireless communication of a user identification card (such as an eSIM card), such as a phone watch.

[0045] The wireless communication may be cellular network communication or short-range wireless communication, such as Bluetooth communication, WIFI direct communication, or WiFi communication.

[0046] In step S130, it is confirmed that the first message is in a read state.

[0047] In step S140, the association relationship between the first identifier and the first notification message is released, and the first identifier is put into a pool of standby identifiers so as to be used for identification association of a new notification message.

[0048] After the user has read the first message corresponding to the first notification message, the mapping relationship between the read first notification message and the first identifier is released. There is no need to cache the first notification message record that has been viewed, and the identifier can be reused. When the user uses a repeatable identifier value to view, the notification message is always the unread notification information that exists in the notification list, and these unread notification information correspond to different identifiers. Therefore, the embodiments of the present application help to reduce memory usage and simplify memory management.

[0049] Before generating the first notification message, the first communication device may receive a first message associated with the communication service.

[0050] In some implementations, the method for managing notification messages further includes: generating a second notification message, the second notification message being notification information of a received second message, the second message being a signaling message associated with a communication service. The second notification message includes a second identifier, the second identifier being identification information associated with the second notification message, and the second identifier being an identifier configured for the second notification message from a pool of standby identifiers according to a predetermined scheduling rule, the predetermined scheduling rule being a rule of giving priority to the use of a released first identifier. That is, the predetermined scheduling rule gives priority to the use of a released identifier. In this way, it is possible to use a smaller number of identifiers to meet the need to identify multiple notification messages.

[0051] In some embodiments, the predetermined scheduling rule may also be not to give priority to using the released identifier.

[0052] In some implementations, the first message can be confirmed to be in the read state by any of the following methods: the user checks the first message on the first communication device and confirms that the first message is in the read state; or, a first response message sent by the second communication device is received, and the first response message is used to instruct the user to check the first message on the second communication device. There are many ways to check the first message, such as text display or voice playback.

[0053] In some implementations, before sending the first message to the second communication device, a first request message sent by the second communication device may be received, the first request message being used to obtain the content of the first message, the first request message including the first identifier. The first request message may be used to obtain the entire content of the first message, or may be used to obtain a specified portion of message parameter content, such as the sender and a summary of the content of the message.

[0054] The notification message is usually displayed in the notification bar of the first communication device. In some implementations, after the user views the first message on the first communication device, the first notification information corresponding to the first message is automatically deleted from the notification bar, that is, the first notification information is no longer displayed (or recorded) on the notification bar, ensuring that all notification information displayed on the notification bar is unread. In addition, a first termination message containing a first identifier is sent to the second communication device, and the first termination message is used to prompt that the first notification message has been deleted. This helps to prevent the second communication device from sending a request message to obtain the first message again.

[0055] In some implementations, if the first message is updated (i.e., any parameter value of the first message is updated), the notification message in the notification bar may update the content. As long as the first message is updated, the first communication device will send a prompt message to the second communication device to prompt that the first message corresponding to the first identifier has been updated.

[0056] In some implementations, messages (first messages) may be divided into different categories, such as missed calls, proposed connections (e.g., voice / video), text messages, various forms of messaging services, messages from other application classes, and the like. Identifiers mapped one-to-one with notification messages may also be divided into different categories, that is, the categories of identifiers may be divided according to the categories of messages, which helps users quickly identify the types of messages. For example, some fields of the identifier value may represent categories, and representative categories may include email, various forms of messaging services (e.g., voice / video), text messages, and the like. In some implementations, the categories of identifiers may also be divided according to the importance of the message, which helps users quickly identify the importance or urgency of the message.

[0057] In some implementations, short-range wireless communication may be, for example, Bluetooth communication or WIFI direct communication. Among them, Bluetooth is a widely used short-range wireless communication technology that enables wireless information exchange between multiple electronic devices that support Bluetooth transmission. Bluetooth technology may include: basic data rate / enhanced data rate (BR / EDR) and Bluetooth low energy (BLE) technology. In Bluetooth technology that uses the serial port profile (SPP) protocol, devices can be divided into clients and servers. A server is a Bluetooth device that waits for other devices to connect, and a client is a device that actively connects to a server.

[0058] In some embodiments, the first communication device and the second communication device may have a one-to-one relationship. In other embodiments, the first communication device and the second communication device may have a one-to-many relationship. For example, in Bluetooth communication, the first communication device as a client may be connected to multiple server Bluetooth devices, and the server Bluetooth devices may be, for example, Bluetooth headsets and Bluetooth bracelets. The second communication device may be any of the multiple server Bluetooth devices in the same coordination set. The first communication device may also simultaneously send a first notification message to multiple server Bluetooth devices as second communication devices.

[0059] In an embodiment of the present application, after the user has read the first message corresponding to the first notification message, the mapping relationship between the read first notification message and the first identifier is released. Therefore, there is no need to cache the first notification message record that has been viewed, and the identifier can be reused. When the user uses a repeatable identifier value to view, the notification message is always an unread notification message that exists in the notification list, and these unread notification messages correspond to different identifiers. Therefore, an embodiment of the present application helps to use a smaller number of identifiers to meet the needs of identifying notification messages, helps to reduce memory usage, and simplifies memory management.

[0060] The method for managing and adjusting messages in the embodiment of the application is further described below in conjunction with some possible implementation methods of the embodiment of the application.

[0061] Figure 2 yes Figure 1 A schematic diagram of a possible application scenario of the method. The following is an exemplary description using a first communication device as a mobile phone and a second communication device as a smart watch, and the unique identifier is changed to a reusable identifier. Figure 2 As shown, the wireless communication system 200 may include a mobile phone 210 and a smart watch 220 .

[0062] The mobile phone 210 can obtain signaling messages associated with communication services, such as missed calls, voice calls, video calls, text messages, or messages from third-party service platforms, through a base station 230 (or wireless hotspot) of a cellular network. The user usually carries a smart watch 220 with him.

[0063] If the mobile phone 210 currently has three warning notification messages (unread notification messages), they are:

[0064] 1) Notification message 1 representing the short message uses identifier value 1, that is, notification message 1 and identifier value 1 have a mapping (association) relationship.

[0065] 2) Notification message 2 representing a message sent by WeChat friend A, using identifier value 2.

[0066] 3) Notification message 3 representing a message sent by WeChat friend B, using identifier value 3.

[0067] It can be seen that different unread notification messages correspond to different identifier values. Mobile phone 210 sends the three warning notification messages to smart watch 220 respectively. After the user reads the text message (corresponding to the unique identifier value 1) on the smart watch 220, a command will be sent to the mobile phone 210 to prompt that the text message has been read, and the corresponding record of notification message 1 can be deleted to release the mapping relationship between notification message 1 and identifier value 1. Alternatively, after the user reads the text message on the mobile phone 210, the mobile phone 210 will issue a warning message to prompt that the message represented by identifier value 1 has been read, and the identifier value 1 will be recycled. If the identifier value 1 is recycled to the standby identifier pool, it means that the identifier value 1 can be reused.

[0068] Subsequently, if the mobile phone 210 receives a new QQ message, according to the predetermined scheduling rule, the repeatable identifier value 1 will be used to send a notification message corresponding to the QQ message to the watch 220, that is, a mapping relationship is established between the repeatable identifier value 1 and the notification message corresponding to the QQ message.

[0069] Alternatively, in some embodiments, according to a predetermined scheduling rule, a notification message corresponding to the QQ message is sent to the watch 220 using the identifier value 4 (located after the identifier value 3). Since the notification message of this QQ message does not use the repeatable identifier value 1, the subsequent new message may also use the repeatable identifier value 1.

[0070] In the embodiment of the present application, after the user has read the first message corresponding to the first notification message, the mapping relationship between the read first notification message and the first identifier is released. Therefore, it is not necessary to cache the first notification message record that has been viewed, and the identifier can be reused. Therefore, the embodiment of the present application helps to use a smaller number of identifiers to meet the needs of identifying notification messages, helps to reduce memory usage, and simplifies memory management.

[0071] Figure 3 yes Figure 1 A flowchart of a possible implementation of the method. The first communication device 31 and the second communication device 32 in the wireless communication system may be linked by Bluetooth. Figure 3 As shown, the method for managing notification messages may mainly include steps S310 to S340, and these steps are described in detail below.

[0072] After receiving the first message associated with the communication service, the first communication device 31 generates a first notification message corresponding to the first message. The first notification message includes a first identifier, which is identification information associated with the first notification message, and the first identifier is an identifier in the pool of standby identifiers. That is, the first identifier and the first notification message are associated in a one-to-one mapping relationship.

[0073] In step S310 , the first communication device 31 sends a first notification message to the second communication device 32 , prompting a user on the second communication device 32 that the first message has been received.

[0074] In step S320, the second communication device 32 sends a first request message to the first communication device 31. The first request message is used to obtain the content of the first message, and the first request message includes a first identifier.

[0075] In step S330 , in response to receiving the first request message, the first communication device 31 sends a first message to the second communication device 32 .

[0076] In step S340, the second communication device 32 sends a first response message to the first communication device 31. The user has read the first message on the second communication device 32, and the first response message is sent to indicate that the user has read the first message on the second communication device.

[0077] After receiving the first response message, the first communication device 31 may confirm that the first message is in a read state, and then release the association between the first identifier and the first notification message, and put the first identifier into a standby identifier pool for reuse.

[0078] In an embodiment of the present application, after the user has read the first message corresponding to the first notification message, the mapping relationship between the read first notification message and the first identifier is released. Therefore, there is no need to cache the first notification message record that has been viewed, and the identifier can be reused. When the user uses a repeatable identifier value to view, the notification message is always an unread notification message that exists in the notification list, and these unread notification messages correspond to different identifiers. Therefore, an embodiment of the present application helps to use a smaller number of identifiers to meet the needs of identifying notification messages, helps to reduce memory usage, and simplifies memory management.

[0079] Figure 4 It is a flowchart of another method for managing notification messages provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 4 The method for managing notification messages is applied to a second communication device, which may be, for example, any of the wearable devices described above, such as a smart watch or smart glasses. Figure 4 As shown, the method for managing notification messages may mainly include steps S410 to S420, and these steps are described in detail below.

[0080] In step S410, a first notification message sent by a first communication device is received.

[0081] The first notification message is notification information of a first message received by the first communication device, the first message being a signaling message associated with a communication service. The first notification message includes a first identifier, the first identifier being identification information associated with the first notification message, and the first identifier being an identifier in a pool of standby identifiers. The second communication device establishes a wireless communication link with the first communication device.

[0082] In step S420, a first message sent by a first communication device is received.

[0083] After the first message has been read, the association between the first identifier and the first notification message is released, and the first identifier is placed in a pool of in-use identifiers.

[0084] Optionally, the method of the embodiment of the present application further includes: receiving a second notification message, the second notification message being notification information of a second message received by the first communication device, the second message being a signaling message associated with a communication service. The second notification message includes a second identifier, the second identifier being identification information associated with the second notification message, and the second identifier being an identifier configured for the second notification message from a pool of inactive identifiers according to a predetermined scheduling rule, the predetermined scheduling rule being a rule of giving priority to the use of a released first identifier.

[0085] Optionally, the method of the embodiment of the present application includes: if the user views the first message on the second communication device, sending a first response message to the first communication device, the first response message being used to instruct the user to view the first message on the second communication device.

[0086] Optionally, before receiving the first message sent by the first communication device, the method of the embodiment of the present application includes: sending a first request message to the first communication device, the first request message is used to obtain content of the first message, and the first request message includes a first identifier.

[0087] Optionally, the wireless communication may be short-range wireless communication, such as Bluetooth communication.

[0088] Optionally, the first message may be any one of the following messages: a missed call, a text message, or a message from a predetermined application.

[0089] In the embodiment of the present application, after the user has read the first message corresponding to the first notification message, the mapping relationship between the read first notification message and the first identifier is released. Therefore, it is not necessary to cache the first notification message record that has been viewed, and the identifier can be reused. Therefore, the embodiment of the present application helps to reduce memory usage and simplify memory management.

[0090] Combination of the above Figures 1 to 4 The method embodiment of the present application is described in detail. Figure 5 and Figure 8 The device embodiment of the present application is described in detail. It should be understood that the description of the device embodiment corresponds to the description of the method embodiment, so the parts not described in detail can refer to the previous method embodiment.

[0091] Figure 5 It is a schematic diagram of a device for managing notification messages provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 5 The device is applied to a first communication device, and the first communication device may be any terminal device mentioned above. Figure 5 As shown, the device 500 for managing notification messages includes: a receiving module 510 , a generating module 520 , a sending module 530 , a confirming module 540 and a recycling module 550 .

[0092] The receiving module 510 is used to receive a first message, where the first message is a signaling message associated with a communication service.
