Multi-Screen Notification Display With Hierarchical Content
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Electronic devices struggle to efficiently display notification information due to limited types of display screens, leading to low efficiency in handling notifications.
Innovation Solution
A notification display method that utilizes different display screens (AOD, lock screen, drop-down screen, desktop screen, immersive application screen) to output varying levels of notification content based on user interactions, allowing for quick access and processing of notification information.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If notification information is displayed on limited types of display screens (AOD, lock screen, drop-down screen), then the device structure remains simple, but the efficiency of dealing with notification information is low
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies multi-functionality by enabling the desktop screen to serve dual purposes: as a standard operational interface and as a notification display surface. The system detects user operations and dynamically displays notification cards on the desktop screen, allowing this single screen to fulfill multiple functions including both user interaction and information notification, thereby improving notification handling efficiency without adding new display hardware
2Productivity
If all notification content is displayed at once on a single screen, then information completeness is high, but user processing time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments notification content into hierarchical levels: summary information is displayed on the lock screen, while detailed information is presented on desktop notification cards. This segmentation allows users to quickly grasp essential notification details at a glance and only access comprehensive information when needed, thereby accelerating information processing while maintaining complete content availability across different display stages
3Ease of operation
If notification information is displayed on multiple screen types with different levels of detail, then information accessibility is improved, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic display control where the system automatically adjusts notification presentation based on detected user operations. When a user interacts with the device (e.g., unlocking), the system dynamically transitions from lock screen notifications to desktop notification cards, adapting the display state according to user behavior rather than requiring complex manual configuration or multiple static display modes

AI summary
A notification display method includes obtaining, by an electronic device, notification information delivered by a first application, and displaying different display content based on the notification information and different types of display screens. Display screen types may include an always on display screen, a lock screen, a drop-down screen, a desktop screen, an immersive application screen, and the like. In addition, the electronic device may display a card including the notification information on a desktop screen. The card is viewable by a user, and thus may improve efficiency of viewing such notification information by the user.
