Notification Management Interface for Batch Application Settings
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current notification message management on mobile devices is inefficient, requiring users to manually set notification preferences for each application individually, leading to cumbersome operations and not meeting users' personalized needs.
Innovation Solution
A notification message management method that classifies applications into categories based on UI prompt manner, frequency of use, or notification quantity, allowing users to set prompt preferences in batches through a simplified user interface, enabling more personalized and efficient management.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If manual setting manner is used for notification management, then user can customize notification preferences, but operation complexity increases and efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments applications into different categories (system applications, frequently used applications, other applications) and allows users to set notification preferences for each category collectively. This segmentation enables users to manage notifications for multiple applications through a single operation rather than configuring each application individually, thus reducing operation complexity while maintaining customization capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent automatically classifies applications into different categories based on predetermined criteria (such as application usage frequency, application type) before the user needs to configure notifications. This preliminary classification action is performed in advance, so when users need to set notification preferences, the heavy lifting of categorization has already been done, significantly reducing the operational burden on users.
2Manufacturing precision
If individual application settings are required, then precise notification control is achieved, but time consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the notification setting operations for multiple applications into a single unified interface. Users can select multiple applications or entire categories of applications and configure notification preferences for all selected applications simultaneously. This merging approach maintains precise control over notification settings while reducing the time required from configuring each application individually to a single batch operation.
3Ease of operation
If automatic setting manner is used, then operation simplicity is improved, but user choice and personalization are reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a dynamic notification management system that adapts to user needs at different stages. Initially, the system automatically classifies applications and provides default notification settings, offering operational simplicity. However, users retain the ability to intervene, modify classifications, and adjust settings for specific categories or individual applications, thereby maintaining user choice and personalization. The system dynamically balances automation and user control based on user interactions.

AI summary
Embodiments of the present invention provide a notification message management method and a terminal, where the method is used for the terminal, at least one application that is capable of providing a notification message is installed on the terminal, and the method includes: detecting a user-input instruction for displaying a user interface for notification management; displaying the user interface for notification management, where the user interface for notification management includes a classification option; receiving a user-input instruction for selecting the classification option; displaying at least two application types; detecting a user-input instruction for selecting an option of one application type of the at least two application types; displaying, in a same user interface, an identifier of at least one application corresponding to the selected application type and displaying a setting option of a UI prompt manner of a notification message for each of the at least one application; detecting an operation of a user on the setting option of the UI prompt manner of the at least one application; and saving the setting option of the UI prompt manner of the at least one application after the user operation.
