Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of online education technology, and in particular relates to a notification management system based on an important and urgent multi-quadrant approach. Background Technology

[0002] Existing teaching systems typically include core functions such as interactive whiteboards, group discussions, course activities, resource centers, attendance management, instant messaging, homework grading, and learning reports. These systems cover K-12 education, higher education, and training institutions, and generally adopt a "unified list display" model—a layout of "top navigation bar + notification list." The notification list is arranged in reverse chronological order, and the notification content includes a mix of course reminders, homework notifications, message reminders, and system notifications. For example... Figure 1 As shown in the image (this image mainly illustrates the specific layout and display effect; the text in the image is not important), the notification management has the following problems: Notification fragmentation problem: The existing system displays all notifications in a mixed manner, requiring users to filter key content in different locations, resulting in low information processing efficiency; Lack of priority management: Existing technologies lack priority rules for online education scenarios (such as "class is about to start" being more important than "advertising information"), making important tasks easily overlooked; and reminders are only provided for classrooms, without design for global notifications or to-do scenarios, lacking the multi-role and multi-type notification management requirements of online education scenarios; Lack of time management tools: Teachers / students need to handle tasks such as "course preparation," "homework grading," and "message replying" simultaneously, leading to chaotic task scheduling. Traditional interactive experience: Existing systems require users to switch to the "notification list" interface to process information, which is a cumbersome process; Therefore, there is an urgent need for a notification management system to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and to disclose a notification management system based on an important and urgent multi-quadrant system.

[0004] In view of this, the present invention provides a notification management system based on an important and urgent multi-quadrant framework for online education systems, comprising: The efficiency island interface module is used to integrate into the main interface of the online education system in a floating form. Based on the user's interaction, the multi-quadrant view expands and collapses, and each quadrant is used to display notifications with different priorities. A multi-quadrant classification engine, using quadrant classification rules customized for online education scenarios, analyzes event notifications to determine their priority quadrant; the quadrant classification rules are based at least on two dimensions: the importance and urgency of the notification. The user personalization settings module is used to adjust quadrant weights or customize the quadrant assignment of specific types of notifications.

[0005] As an improvement to the above system, the interface of the efficiency island module is a dynamic area or a floating window; it supports users to position it at any position on the main interface by dragging and dropping, and supports switching between quadrant, notification, to-do and schedule views by swiping left and right.

[0006] As an improvement to the above system, the efficiency island interface module also supports filtering and displaying event notifications according to a preset time period.

[0007] As an improvement to the above system, the multi-quadrant classification engine employs a four-quadrant classification, including: Quadrant 1: Highest priority, used to display important and urgent event notifications; Second quadrant: Medium to high priority, used to display important but not urgent event notifications; Third quadrant: Low to medium priority, used to display notifications of unimportant but urgent events; Quadrant 4: Lowest priority, used to display notifications of unimportant and non-urgent events.

[0008] As an improvement to the above system, the notification types in the first quadrant include at least one of course start within 60 minutes, student emergency assistance, and system failure; the notification types in the second quadrant include at least one of homework grading plan, course preparation reminder, and learning report generation; the notification types in the third quadrant include at least one of message reminder and system update notification; and the notification types in the fourth quadrant include at least one of advertising information and irrelevant historical notifications.

[0009] As an improvement to the aforementioned system, the multi-quadrant classification engine employs a three-quadrant classification system to better suit younger, more casual users. Quadrant 1: High priority, used to display important and urgent event notifications; Second quadrant: Medium priority, used to display important but not urgent event notifications; Third quadrant: Low priority, used to display unimportant event notifications.

[0010] As an improvement to the above system, the user personalization settings module stores the user's feasible configuration in the cloud and supports synchronization between the user's different terminal devices.

[0011] As an improvement to the above system, the multi-quadrant classification engine also includes a feedback learning unit, which records the user's manual adjustment behavior regarding the quadrant assignment of event notifications, and dynamically optimizes the quadrant classification rules based on the manual adjustment behavior to improve the accuracy of subsequent classifications.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of the present invention are: 1. Improve work efficiency: The multi-quadrant classification engine breaks down notifications into two dimensions: importance and urgency, eliminating the need for manual filtering by users. For example, when a teacher opens the online education system, the efficiency island directly highlights the first quadrant "Class starts in 5 minutes" and the second quadrant "3 assignments to be graded," reducing information filtering time. Tests have shown that teachers' efficiency in processing notifications has increased by more than 60%. The dynamic display system prioritizes pushing high-priority tasks, preventing users from missing critical matters (e.g., students will not miss the "Assignment deadline in 2 hours" reminder because they are "browsing learning materials").

[0013] 2. Optimize user experience: The Efficiency Island interface module integrates a one-stop interaction of "view-process-switch" without the need to jump to other interfaces. For example, users can view the details of "student emergency help" by tapping the Efficiency Island. The operation steps are reduced from "3 steps" in the existing technology to "1 step", improving the interaction efficiency by 70%. The animation effect improves the visual smoothness and avoids the "abrupt jump" experience problem of the existing technology.

[0014] 3. Highly intelligent and adaptable: The intelligent classification algorithm is continuously optimized based on user feedback. For example, if the initial system classifies "Parent Communication Messages" into the third quadrant, and the teacher manually moves it to the first quadrant multiple times, the algorithm will automatically increase the importance weight of "Parent Communication Messages". By recording user behavior, the quadrant classification rules are dynamically optimized to improve the accuracy of subsequent classifications. After testing, the classification accuracy rate can reach over 95% after 3 adjustments by the user, adapting to the usage habits of different users.

[0015] 4. High scenario adaptability: The personalized settings module supports custom quadrant assignment for specific types of notifications, enabling multi-role customization. For example, the teacher template defaults to assigning "homework grading" and "student help requests" as high priority, while the student template defaults to assigning "homework deadline" and "course preview" as high priority, solving the scenario adaptation problem of the existing technology's "one-size-fits-all" approach.

[0016] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of an important notification layout in existing technology; Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the efficiency island interface module in Example 1; Figure 3This is a flowchart of the processing of the four-quadrant classification engine in Example 1. Detailed Implementation

[0017] This invention provides a notification management system based on an important and urgent multi-quadrant framework for online education systems, comprising: The efficiency island interface module is used to integrate into the main interface of the online education system in a floating form. Based on the user's interaction, the multi-quadrant view expands and collapses, and each quadrant is used to display notifications with different priorities. The multi-quadrant classification engine analyzes event notifications using quadrant classification rules customized for online education scenarios to determine the priority quadrant to which the event notification belongs. The quadrant classification rules are based on at least two dimensions: the importance and urgency of the notification. The multi-quadrant classification engine also includes a feedback learning unit to record users' manual adjustments to the quadrant assignment of event notifications and dynamically optimize the quadrant classification rules based on this, thereby improving the accuracy of subsequent classifications.

[0018] The user personalization settings module is used to adjust quadrant weights or customize the quadrant assignment of specific types of notifications.

[0019] The technical solution of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0020] Example 1 Embodiment 1 of the present invention provides a notification management system based on an important and urgent multi-quadrant framework for use in an online education system, comprising: 1. Efficiency Island Interface Module Differences from existing technologies: Unlike existing technologies that use "notification lists" or "single dynamic areas," this module is located at the top of the main interface of the online education system and is an independent area that "integrates classification logic + dynamic interaction"; for example... Figure 2 As shown.

[0021] Specific implementation: Interface shape: The basic shape is an oval, with a width of 600px and a height of 600px in the example, and a white background with shadow and rounded corners. Interactive operation: Tap: Expand to display the full four-quadrant view (each quadrant displays the corresponding notification); Swipe left or right to switch between quadrants, notifications, to-do lists, and schedules. 2. Four-quadrant classification engine Difference from existing technologies: Existing technologies lack classification logic, while this engine is based on the "Importance and Urgency Four-Quadrant Theory" and customizes classification rules for online education scenarios; Specific implementation: Notifications are categorized into four types based on "importance" (the degree to which they affect teaching / learning objectives) and "urgency" (time sensitivity): Quadrant 1: Important and urgent, such as classes starting within 60 minutes, students urgently needing help, system failures, etc. This quadrant has the highest priority. Quadrant 2: Important but not urgent, such as homework grading plans, course preparation reminders, and learning report generation. This quadrant has a medium to high priority. Quadrant 3: Not important but urgent, such as message alerts and system update notifications. This quadrant has a low to medium priority. Quadrant 4: Not important and not urgent, such as advertising information, irrelevant historical notifications, low priority announcements, etc. This quadrant has the lowest priority.

[0022] The specific processing logic is as follows: Figure 3 As shown: The system determines the quadrant based on importance and urgency. If the feedback learning unit has recorded user actions such as dragging and dropping to manually adjust quadrant affiliation, the notification will be pushed to the corresponding quadrant based on these adjustments. This dynamically optimizes the quadrant classification rules to improve the accuracy of subsequent classifications. If no adjustments have been made, the priority quadrant for the event notification will be determined according to the quadrant classification rules.

[0023] 3. User Personalization Settings Module Difference from existing technologies: Existing technologies lack personalized features for online education roles, while this module supports custom rules based on roles and habits; Specific implementation: Priority customization: Users can adjust quadrant weights or customize notification type classifications using sliders or editing windows (e.g., classifying "Parent Communication Messages" as the first quadrant). Multi-device synchronization: By storing user settings in the cloud, synchronization between different terminals of the online education system can be achieved, such as synchronization between "computer terminal → mobile terminal", ensuring a consistent experience; Example 2 Embodiment 2 of the present invention provides a notification management system based on an important and urgent multi-quadrant approach for online education systems, adapted to users with simple needs (such as primary school students), including: 1. Efficiency Island Interface Module: The floating window format allows users to drag the device to any position. This is achieved by adding a "drag event listener" to record the coordinates of the dragged element. The device will automatically reposition itself upon the next startup without affecting the categorization and display functions.

[0024] 2. Alternatives to dynamic display systems: Filtering by "time period", such as "high priority today" or "medium priority this week", is achieved by adding a "time filter control". Users can select "today / this week / this month", and the system will only display notifications within the corresponding period, which is suitable for users who need to plan tasks by period.

[0025] 3. Three-quadrant classification engine: This embodiment is suitable for users with simple needs (such as primary school students, using a three-quadrant system (high priority / medium priority / low priority), merging the "third and fourth quadrants" of embodiment 1 into "low priority").

[0026] 4. A user personalization settings module, used to adjust quadrant weights or customize the quadrant assignment of specific notification types. User-configurable settings are stored in the cloud and can be synchronized across different user devices.

[0027] It is worth noting that in the embodiments of the above system, the modules included are divided according to functional logic, but are not limited to the above division, as long as the corresponding functions can be achieved; in addition, the specific names of each functional module are only for easy differentiation and are not used to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0028] Key technologies of this invention: 1. Deep integration of multi-quadrant classification engine with online education software teaching scenarios (core innovation) Innovation: Unlike the general four-quadrant theory, a customized quadrant classification rule is used for online education (e.g., teachers' "urgent requests for help from students" are classified in the first quadrant, and students' "homework deadline reminders" are classified in the first quadrant). Importance: Solving the core problem of "poor scenario adaptability" in existing technologies is the key to adapting this invention to the field of online education; Beneficial effects: Ensures that the classification logic meets the actual needs of users and improves the classification accuracy to over 90%.

[0029] 2. Intelligent classification algorithm based on user roles and notification features Innovation points: Integrating three dimensions: "content characteristics (such as keywords), role characteristics (such as teacher / student), and time characteristics (such as deadline)"; dynamically optimizing quadrant classification rules based on users' manual adjustment behavior; Importance: To avoid the problem of "rigid classification" in existing technologies and achieve intelligent classification that is "personalized for each individual"; Beneficial effects: The number of times users manually adjust the settings decreases with increasing usage time, and the adjustment frequency decreases by 80% after 30 days.

[0030] 3. Dynamically interactive efficiency island interface design Innovation: It combines "Dynamic Display of the Island" with "Multi-Quadrant Classification" to support one-stop interaction with a simple tap, without the need to switch interfaces; Importance: Solving the problem of needing to switch between course schedule tabs to view the schedule in existing technology is key to improving user experience; Beneficial effects: User operation steps are reduced by 70%, and screen dwell time is increased by 50% (indicating that users are more willing to handle notifications through the performance island).

[0031] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not intended to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions to the technical solutions of the present invention do not depart from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
