Event Notification Watch Face Proximity Trigger
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing techniques for obtaining a user interface, such as a watch face, that includes content related to an event on computer systems are cumbersome and inefficient, often requiring multiple key presses and wasting user time and device energy, especially in battery-operated devices.
Innovation Solution
A method that displays a notification for a watch face with event content when a computer system is within a threshold proximity to a predetermined location associated with an event, allowing users to easily select and add the watch face, thereby reducing cognitive burden and conserving power.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If existing techniques are used to obtain a user interface with event content, then the user interface can be obtained, but the process requires multiple key presses and is time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-loads watch face content related to events in the background before the user needs it. When the user is near a predetermined location associated with an event, the relevant watch face content is already prepared and can be quickly displayed or added to the device, eliminating the need for multiple key presses and lengthy navigation through existing techniques.
2Ease of operation
If existing techniques are used to obtain a user interface with event content, then the user interface can be obtained, but device energy is wasted
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by pre-loading and preparing watch face content in the background when the device is near an event location, so that the actual user interaction requires minimal processing and energy consumption. This avoids the energy-wasting scenario of existing techniques where the device must process multiple user inputs and navigate through complex interfaces in real-time.
Solution Approach 2:
The system automatically detects when the user is near a predetermined location associated with an event and autonomously prepares and presents the relevant watch face content without requiring the user to manually search or navigate through multiple menus. This self-service approach eliminates redundant processing and energy consumption associated with complex user interactions.
3Ease of operation
If existing techniques are used to obtain a user interface with event content, then the user interface can be obtained, but the cognitive burden on the user increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-prepares watch face content related to events in the background before the user needs it. When the user is near a predetermined location associated with an event, the relevant content is already organized and ready for display or addition, eliminating the need for users to navigate through complex menus and perform multiple key presses as required by existing techniques.
Solution Approach 2:
The system automatically detects the user's proximity to event locations and autonomously prepares and presents the relevant watch face content without requiring the user to manually search, filter, or navigate through complex interface elements. This reduces the cognitive burden by making the system intelligent and adaptive rather than requiring the user to manage complex interface operations.

AI summary
While a computer system is within a threshold proximity to a predetermined location that is associated with an event, and in accordance with a determination that a triggering condition is satisfied, where the determination that the triggering condition is satisfied includes a determination that an action associated with the event has occurred, the computer system displays a notification associated with a watch face that includes content related to the event. While the computer system is within a threshold proximity to the predetermined location, and in accordance with a determination that the triggering condition is not satisfied, the computer system forgoes display of the notification. While displaying the notification, the computer system detects an input corresponding to selection of the notification. In response to detecting the input corresponding to selection of the notification, the computer system initiates a process for adding the watch face to the computer system.
