Notification Message Redisplay via Gesture and Storage
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users are unable to recheck notification messages after they disappear from the display, as existing systems do not allow for message retrieval once the message is erased.
Innovation Solution
An information processing apparatus that stores a message or screen in a storage unit and allows users to re-display it upon detecting a specific gesture operation, enabling users to recheck notification messages even after the initial display has been erased.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the message display is automatically erased after a predetermined time, then the display interface is kept clean and clutter is reduced, but the user cannot recheck the message after it disappears
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary action by storing the message content in memory before the display is automatically erased. This ensures that the message information is preserved and can be retrieved later through a redisplay function, resolving the contradiction between automatic erasure and message recheckability.
Solution Approach 2:
The system creates a copy of the message content in storage memory while the original display is temporary. This copying mechanism allows the message to be retained beyond the display timeout period, enabling users to recheck messages after they disappear from the screen.
2Reliability
If notification messages are displayed prominently, then users are informed of important information, but the messages disappear after a short time making them difficult to review
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary action by storing the message content in memory before the display is automatically erased. This ensures that the message information is preserved and can be retrieved later through a redisplay function, resolving the contradiction between automatic erasure and message recheckability.
3Loss of information
If the system stores and enables redisplay of messages, then users can recheck messages after timeout, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies universality by using the existing processor and memory resources for dual purposes: normal operation control and message storage/redisplay. This multi-functionality approach enables message retention and redisplay capabilities without requiring separate dedicated hardware components, thus minimizing the increase in system complexity.

AI summary
An information processing apparatus includes a processor configured to display a message for notifying a user, store a storage object that is at least one of a screen displaying the message or the message in a storage unit, in a case where a first gesture operation is detected, and display the screen displaying the message or the message, in a case where a predetermined condition is satisfied after the display of the message is erased.
