Cross-Account Notification Tagging and Routing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users cannot execute application programs or receive event notifications across different accounts on the same electronic device, limiting convenience and responsiveness to notifications.
Innovation Solution
A cross-account notification method and electronic device architecture that allows tagging of application programs, setting notification preferences, and transmitting notifications between accounts, enabling notifications to be received and managed across multiple accounts.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If application programs are isolated by account for security and management, then account security and data privacy are improved, but cross-account notification capability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments notification management by creating account-specific notification settings while maintaining a separate notification transmission mechanism. Each account has its own notification preferences and tagged applications, but the notification service acts as an intermediary that can selectively transmit notifications across account boundaries based on user-defined rules.
Solution Approach 2:
The notification service acts as an intermediary component that receives notifications from applications in one account and can transmit them to other accounts. This mediator layer enables cross-account communication without compromising the security isolation of individual accounts, as the transmission is controlled through predefined notification settings.
2Loss of time
If notifications are transmitted across accounts, then user responsiveness to notifications is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary configuration by allowing users to pre-define notification settings, including which applications are tagged for cross-account notification and which accounts should receive them. This advance configuration eliminates the need for real-time decision-making about notification routing, reducing system complexity while enabling rapid notification delivery.
3Ease of operation
If multiple accounts are supported on the same device, then user convenience is improved, but application execution capability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The notification service provides a universal function that operates across multiple accounts and applications. By tagging applications rather than restricting them to single accounts, the system enables a single notification infrastructure to serve multiple accounts and their respective applications, allowing notifications to be transmitted across account boundaries without requiring separate notification systems for each account.
Data Source
AI summary
A cross-account notification method and an electronic device using the same are provided. The method includes: tagging multiple application programs of multiple accounts of the electronic device; receiving a first notification of the tagged first application program of the first account; determining whether the first notification needs to be transmitted to a second account according to a notification setting; transmitting the first notification to the second account according to the notification setting.
