Solution Overview

Problem

Mobile terminals lack functionality to further process received messages, particularly non-triggered events, leading to user inconvenience and potential missed events due to lack of timely reminders and state adjustments.

Innovation Solution

A data processing method and apparatus that analyze messages to determine non-triggered events, providing reminders and controlling the mobile terminal's state based on event type and triggering time, including displaying content on the lock screen and adjusting the device profile accordingly.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If the mobile terminal only receives and displays messages based on user operation, then the terminal functionality remains simple, but the processing capability is not well utilized and users may miss important information

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemessage processing capabilityVSAvoidterminal functionality
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by automatically extracting event information from messages before the user reads them. It proactively identifies non-triggered events, determines triggering times, and prepares reminders in advance, so that when the user needs to act, the information is already processed and ready. This resolves the contradiction by performing complex processing silently in the background without adding visible complexity to user interaction.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The message processing system serves itself by automatically analyzing incoming messages, extracting event data, and generating appropriate responses without requiring user intervention. The system self-manages the entire workflow from message reception to event reminder, reducing the burden on users while maintaining simple interaction. This enables enhanced processing capability while keeping the user interface simple.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Reliability

If the user actively reads and memorizes all messages, then important information is not missed, but user convenience is reduced and time is wasted

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveevent reminder accuracyVSAvoiduser convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system establishes a feedback loop where it continuously monitors the triggering time of extracted events and automatically generates reminders when the triggering time approaches. This closed-loop feedback mechanism ensures that users are notified of upcoming events without requiring them to actively track or memorize message contents, thereby maintaining high reliability while significantly improving user convenience.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The system acts as an intermediary between the message content and the user action. Instead of requiring users to directly process and remember all message details, the system intermediates by extracting key event information, determining triggering times, and presenting only the essential reminder information to users at appropriate moments. This mediation reduces the cognitive burden on users while maintaining accurate event tracking.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Ease of operation

If the terminal provides automatic event processing and reminders, then user convenience is improved, but the processing time and computational resources increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser convenienceVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system extracts only the critical event information from the full message content, separating the essential triggering time and event type from the rest of the message data. By taking out only the necessary elements for processing, the system minimizes computational resources and processing time while still providing comprehensive event tracking and reminder functionality, thus resolving the contradiction between convenience and processing time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

AI summary

A method and an apparatus of data processing are disclosed. The method includes obtaining a message including a non-triggered event; determining an event type and a triggering time of the non-triggered event according to the message; and providing a reminder for the non-triggered event according to the event type and the triggering time, and/or controlling a state of the mobile terminal according to the event type and the triggering time. By determining a triggering time and an event type of a non-triggered event, a prompt may also be made before the triggering time even if a user has read the information. Alternatively, the user may also be helped to adjust the state of the mobile terminal to a state related to the event type, so that the mobile terminal is in a state required by the user during the execution of the non-triggered event, thus improving the user experience.
