Message Display Queue Logic for Conflicting Wearable Alerts
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Wearable devices face message conflicts leading to incomplete display of important reminders or alarms due to conventional methods interrupting existing messages, resulting in missed alerts.
Innovation Solution
A message display method that stores messages sequentially based on trigger order and performs validity checks to ensure the latest message is displayed, allowing interrupted messages to be redisplayed if valid.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of time
If the wearable device displays only one message at a time and switches to the latest message immediately, then the latest message is displayed timely, but the interrupted message is lost and the user may miss important reminders
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by storing the interrupted message in a storage unit before switching to the latest message. This ensures that the message information is preserved in advance, allowing the system to redisplay the interrupted message after a predetermined time period without losing any information.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements continuity of useful action by maintaining the display of the interrupted message through a redisplay mechanism. After the latest message is displayed, the system checks whether the interrupted message needs to be redisplayed based on its trigger time and the current time, ensuring continuous information delivery to the user.
2Loss of information
If the wearable device stores multiple messages and rediscplays interrupted messages, then message information is preserved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies segmentation by dividing the message management into distinct components: a storage unit for storing interrupted messages, a display unit for showing messages, and a control unit for managing the switching and redisplay logic. This modular approach organizes the complexity into manageable segments.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses an intermediary mechanism (the control unit with predetermined time period logic) that mediates between the storage unit and the display unit. This intermediary manages the complexity by automatically determining when to redisplay messages based on time conditions, eliminating the need for complex user interaction or manual message management.

AI summary
Embodiments of this application provide a message display method, a medium, and an electronic device, applied to the field of communication technologies, to avoid a message loss when a message display conflict occurs and avoid displaying a message with misjudgment. The method includes: starting to display a first message, where the first message is stored in a target storage unit and is a message with a last trigger order in the target storage unit; detecting, after the first message is displayed for first time, that a second message is a message with a last trigger order in the target storage unit; and displaying the second message, where the first message continues to be stored in the target storage unit.
