Layered Notification Interaction on Electronic Devices Without App Switching
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing interaction methods for electronic devices, such as smartphones and tablets, require users to jump between application interfaces to view or operate notification messages, leading to cumbersome operations and CPU resource occupation, which results in poor user experience.
Innovation Solution
An interaction method that involves receiving a touch instruction, parsing the touch manner and to-be-operated object, and successively displaying content based on the amplitude of the touch operation, allowing users to view or operate notification messages without jumping to the corresponding application, thereby reducing CPU resource occupation and freezing.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If the user taps the notification message to jump to the corresponding application, then the user can view complete details and perform operations, but the operation becomes cumbersome and takes longer time
Solution Approach 1:
The patent displays notification message content in multiple hierarchical layers (first layer, second layer, third layer) within the same notification bar interface, allowing users to access detailed information without jumping to the application. This dimensional expansion of information display resolves the contradiction by providing full access to notification details while eliminating the time-consuming app switching process.
2Loss of information
If the application jumps to the corresponding app when viewing notification, then the user can access complete information, but the CPU resource occupation increases and device freezing occurs
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts and displays the core notification content (message body, attachments, action buttons) directly in the notification bar interface across multiple layers, separating this information from the original application context. This extraction allows users to access complete notification information without launching the application, thereby reducing CPU resource occupation and preventing device freezing while maintaining information accessibility.
3Ease of operation
If the user continuously jumps between the current interface and the application, then the user can interact with the notification, but the operation complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the notification interaction functionality into the current notification bar interface by displaying multiple layers of content (summary, detailed content, action buttons) within the same interface context. This consolidation eliminates the need for users to switch between the notification interface and the application interface, reducing operational complexity while maintaining full interaction capability with the notification message.

AI summary
Disclosed are an interaction method for an electronic device and an electronic device. After receiving a touch instruction, the electronic device parses a touch manner and a to-be-operated object that correspond to the touch instruction. The touch manner includes at least one type, and each type of touch manner includes a plurality of touch operations. Based on an amplitude of each touch operation, content carried by the to-be-operated object is successively and correspondingly displayed at an upper layer of an operation interface currently browsed by a user. When the user views the content in the to-be-operated object, jumping between the operation interface currently browsed by the user and an app corresponding to the to-be-operated object is avoided, CPU resource occupation of the electronic device due to an application jumping process is avoided, and freezing of the electronic device is also avoided, thereby improving user experience.
