Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions

Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional media information releasing methods on mobile terminals often result in resource messages being buried within common messages, leading to reduced efficiency in obtaining media information, especially when resources are limited and the source application client's enabling speed affects user access.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus that utilize a floating window to present media information releasing messages on the current display interface, allowing timely and conspicuous reminders without requiring the source application client to be enabled, and enable user operations to trigger media information obtaining requests directly on the mobile terminal.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If resource messages are mixed with common messages in the source application client, then message delivery is unified, but media information obtaining efficiency deteriorates due to users missing resource messages among common messages

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvemessage delivery capabilityVSAvoidmedia information obtaining efficiency

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts resource messages from the mixed message stream and delivers them through a separate notification channel. The notification system independently pushes resource message notifications to users without requiring them to open the source application client, thereby separating resource message delivery from common message delivery and improving obtaining efficiency

Inventive Principle:

Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a notification server as an intermediary between the source application client and the user. The notification server receives resource messages, processes them into notifications, and delivers them through the notification system, acting as a mediator that enables efficient resource message delivery without requiring the source application client to be enabled

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If the source application client needs to be enabled to obtain resources, then application functionality is maintained, but obtaining speed deteriorates due to machine response speed limitations

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveapplication functionalityVSAvoidobtaining speed

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSSpeed

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary actions by pre-processing resource messages into notification format and pushing them to users before they need to access the source application client. The notification system prepares and delivers resource information in advance, enabling users to obtain resources immediately through notification interaction without waiting for application client enabling and processing

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The notification server acts as an intermediary that handles resource message processing and delivery independently of the source application client. It receives resource messages, converts them into notification format, and delivers them through the notification system, enabling fast resource obtaining without requiring the source application client to be enabled

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Adaptability or versatility

If users search through mixed messages to find resource messages, then comprehensive message access is achieved, but time consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvemessage access capabilityVSAvoidsearch time

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts resource messages from the mixed message stream and delivers them through a separate notification channel. Resource message notifications are pushed independently to users, allowing them to receive resource information directly without searching through common messages in the application client

Inventive Principle:

Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The notification system provides self-service by automatically pushing resource message notifications to users based on their subscription information. Users passively receive resource notifications without needing to actively search or check the application client, reducing time consumption while maintaining comprehensive message access

Inventive Principle:

Principle #25Self-service

AI summary

The present disclosure relates to a media information releasing method performed by a mobile terminal. The mobile terminal receives a media information releasing message associated with a second application while running a first application. The mobile terminal generates a media information releasing message interface corresponding to the media information releasing message, the media information releasing message including a corresponding media information releasing configuration, and then presents, by using a floating window, the media information releasing message interface on a current display interface of the first application. After obtaining a first user operation performed on the media information releasing message interface, the mobile terminal submits a media information obtaining request associated with the second application to a remote server, so that the server shares media information according to the media information releasing configuration, thereby improving media information obtaining efficiency.
