Group-Based Application Property Management for Message Processing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users face difficulties in managing and configuring numerous applications on electronic devices, as many applications automatically push messages and consume network traffic in the background, requiring cumbersome settings and management to prevent distractions and data usage.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus for setting application properties uniformly within preset groups, allowing users to configure message processing and network access settings for multiple applications at once, determining group properties, and processing messages based on these settings to simplify user management.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If users configure message pushing function for each application individually, then message notification can be precisely controlled, but the configuration process becomes too troublesome as the number of applications increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple application configurations into a single system-level setting. By introducing a global message pushing control mechanism, the system allows users to manage message notifications across all applications through one unified interface, eliminating the need to configure each application individually and thus resolving the contradiction between ease of operation and device complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a universal message pushing control system that applies to multiple applications simultaneously. This multi-functional mechanism enables a single configuration to affect numerous applications, providing a general solution that works across the entire application ecosystem rather than requiring application-specific settings for each program
2Reliability
If applications synchronize data via network in background, then data can be kept up-to-date, but a large amount of data traffic will be consumed without the user's awareness
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic network access control based on application states. The system dynamically adjusts whether applications can access the network depending on whether they are currently active or deactivated, allowing data synchronization only when necessary and appropriate, thereby reducing unnecessary background traffic while maintaining data reliability when needed
Solution Approach 2:
The patent enables the system to automatically manage network traffic without requiring user intervention. The electronic device autonomously monitors application states and controls network access accordingly, with the system self-regulating background data synchronization to prevent excessive traffic consumption while maintaining necessary data updates
3Loss of energy
If user disables synchronization setting for application manually or uses application management software, then background traffic consumption can be prevented, but these configuration or management schemes require troublesome operations
Solution Approach 1:
The patent makes the system self-serving by automatically controlling network access based on application states without requiring user configuration. The system autonomously prevents background traffic consumption by deactivated applications through automatic network access control, eliminating the need for users to manually disable synchronization settings or install additional management software
Data Source
AI summary
The present disclosure provides methods and apparatuses for setting application property and message processing. Based on a setting instruction, an object for the setting instruction is determined. The object is a preset group including at least one application. Properties of all the applications in the group are set uniformly in accordance with the setting instruction. With the above setting process, after a message has been received, a group to which the application as the recipient of the message belongs is determined, a property common to the applications in the group is obtained and the message is processed based on the public property.
