User Request Handling with Notification Criteria for External Devices
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing techniques for managing user requests on electronic devices are cumbersome, inefficient, and often require redundant user inputs, leading to wasted time, energy, and potential security and privacy issues, particularly when dealing with personal information.
Innovation Solution
Implementing faster and more efficient methods and interfaces that utilize notification criteria to determine whether to display notifications on external devices, thereby optimizing request performance and enhancing security and privacy.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If existing techniques use complex user interfaces with multiple key presses, keystrokes, and voice inputs to manage user requests, then the system can process various operations, but the user experience becomes cumbersome and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces notification criteria as an intermediary mechanism between the user request and the operation execution. Instead of requiring direct complex user inputs for each operation, the system uses notification criteria to mediate and filter requests, automatically determining whether to display notifications based on predefined conditions. This reduces the cognitive burden on users while maintaining versatile operation processing.
2Productivity
If existing techniques process all user requests without filtering, then user requests are handled, but security and privacy are compromised when operations relate to personal information
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by establishing notification criteria before user requests are processed. These criteria are predefined conditions that determine whether a request should trigger a notification. By preparing and applying these criteria in advance, the system can quickly filter and secure personal information requests without slowing down legitimate operations, thus maintaining both productivity and security.
3Loss of information
If existing techniques display notifications for all operations, then users are informed of all requests, but device energy is wasted and battery life is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies partial action by selectively displaying notifications only for operations that meet specific notification criteria, rather than displaying all operations. This partial notification approach ensures that users are informed of relevant operations (maintaining information completeness where needed) while avoiding unnecessary notifications for routine operations, thereby reducing energy consumption and extending battery life.
4Ease of operation
If existing techniques use redundant user inputs and complex interfaces, then operations can be performed, but user time and device energy are wasted
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements self-service by enabling the system to automatically determine whether to display notifications based on predefined criteria, without requiring redundant user inputs. The notification criteria automatically evaluate each request and make decisions about notification display, freeing users from time-consuming manual verification while maintaining efficient operation execution.
Data Source
AI summary
The present disclosure generally relates to methods and user interfaces for managing user requests for specific operations. In some embodiments, a computer system, after receiving a request of a first type performs a requested operation and, when notification criteria are met, initiates display of a notification on an external electronic device. In some embodiments, a computer system displays a configuration user interface that includes user-specific examples of requests and/or responses to requests.
