Lock Screen Notification Icons for SNS Data Confirmation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Electronic devices cannot confirm accompanying data in received social network service (SNS) messages without enabling the SNS program and displaying the corresponding region on the device's screen, limiting user interaction with notifications.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device with a touchscreen display and communication circuit processes messages by presenting a notification with icons for the application and accompanying data on the lock screen, allowing users to interact with the message and data without launching the SNS program, enabling simple handling and confirmation of accompanying data.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If the SNS program is enabled and the corresponding region is displayed on the screen to confirm accompanying data, then the accompanying data can be confirmed, but the lock screen functionality is interrupted and user interaction is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The notification is segmented into distinct interactive elements: a first icon for application-related actions and a second icon for accompanying data viewing. This segmentation allows users to access accompanying data through the second icon without launching the SNS program, thereby maintaining lock screen functionality while enabling data confirmation.
Solution Approach 2:
The notification acts as an intermediary interface between the locked state and the SNS program. By providing a second icon that directly displays accompanying data when selected, the notification serves as a mediator that allows data confirmation without fully transitioning to the SNS program, thus preserving lock screen functionality.
2Loss of information
If the SNS program is launched to view the message and accompanying data, then complete information is available, but the handling process becomes complex and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements partial action by allowing users to view only the accompanying data through the second icon without launching the entire SNS program. This partial access satisfies the immediate need to confirm accompanying data while avoiding the time cost of full program initialization.
Solution Approach 2:
The notification is prepared in advance with icons that provide direct access to key information. The second icon is pre-configured to display accompanying data immediately upon selection, eliminating the need to navigate through the SNS program interface and reducing the time required to confirm data.
3Ease of operation
If the notification is simplified to maintain lock screen functionality, then ease of operation is improved, but the ability to confirm accompanying data is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The notification implements local quality by providing different levels of information access through different icons. The second icon specifically provides local access to accompanying data without requiring full program launch, thus maintaining simplicity while enabling data confirmation.
Solution Approach 2:
The solution adds a new dimension to the notification interface by introducing icons that provide direct access to specific message components. The second icon creates a new interaction dimension that allows accompanying data viewing independent of the main SNS program interface.

AI summary
A method for outputting data received together with a message is provided. The method includes receiving a message corresponding to a specified application while a lock screen is displayed, presenting, via a portion of the lock screen, a notification notifying of the receiving of the message, the notification including a first icon indicative of the specified application and a second icon indicative of an existence of an image in the message, receiving an input with respect to the notification, upon determining that the input corresponds to a first input with respect to the notification, launching the specified application such that the lock screen is terminated, and that the message is displayed in a user interface corresponding to the specified application, and upon determining that the input corresponds to a second input with respect to the notification, terminating the presenting of the notification while the lock screen is maintained.
