Notification Event Detection in Electronic Devices
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing display devices lack effective mechanisms to notify users of important information, such as cooperative operations, in multiplayer game content, leading to potential delays or misunderstandings during urgent game situations.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device that detects notification events, such as a ping, in game content and provides visual or auditory indications to the user through designated areas on the screen or audio output units, ensuring timely and clear communication among team members.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If traditional display methods are used without notification event detection, then the display device maintains simple operation, but important information such as cooperative operations in multiplayer games is not effectively notified to users
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary detection of notification events in the display screen before user interaction is needed. The processor continuously monitors the display content to identify notification events such as cooperative operation prompts, and prepares visual or auditory indications in advance, ensuring reliable notification delivery when needed.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary notification system that mediates between the game content display and the user. This intermediary layer detects notification events within the display screen and translates them into separate visual effects or auditory effects through dedicated output channels, ensuring important information is effectively communicated without directly modifying the game content.
2Productivity
If notification events are detected and multiple indication methods are provided, then user experience and response time are improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The notification system dynamically adapts its behavior based on the detected notification event type and current display context. The processor selectively applies different visual effects or auditory effects depending on the specific notification event, allowing the system to provide optimized responses without maintaining all possible notification mechanisms simultaneously active.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the notification system into distinct functional components: event detection in the display screen, indication selection logic, and separate output channels for visual and auditory effects. This segmentation allows the system to provide multiple indication methods while managing complexity through modular architecture where each component has a specific responsibility.
3Loss of information
If visual or auditory indications are provided through information display area or audio output unit, then clear communication among team members is achieved, but energy consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies local quality by providing notifications only in specific regions or contexts where they are needed. The processor identifies notification events within the display screen and provides indications through information display areas or audio output units selectively, rather than continuously activating all notification channels, thus reducing unnecessary energy consumption while maintaining clear communication when required.
Data Source
AI summary
An electronic device includes at least one processor, and a memory storing at least one instruction that, when executed by the at least one processor, causes the electronic device to detect whether a notification event indicating information that another user is attempting to provide to a user has occurred, obtain, based on detecting that the notification event has occurred, an indication including at least one of a visual effect or an auditory effect corresponding to the notification event, and provide, to the user, the indication by using at least one of an information display area or an audio output unit.
