Solution Overview

Problem

Existing methods for processing notification messages on smart electronic devices are limited in their ability to differentiate and respond appropriately to various types of messages, often leading to unnecessary interruptions and a lack of personalized processing.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus that monitor notification messages through an auxiliary function interface of the operating system, detecting predefined keywords to trigger specific processing methods, allowing for enhanced prompts, warnings, or information exchange with the application, thereby enriching processing methods and preventing interruptions.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If notification messages are processed using simple uniform methods, then the processing speed is fast and the system is simple, but the ability to differentiate and respond appropriately to various message types is poor

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveability to differentiate and respond to various message typesVSAvoidprocessing system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by assigning different processing methods to different notification messages based on their content. Specifically, the system identifies keywords in notification messages and applies specialized processing (such as silent mode, enhanced prompts, or information exchange) only to messages containing those keywords, rather than uniformly processing all messages. This allows the system to be adaptive to different message types while maintaining simplicity for messages that don't require special handling.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the parameter of processing method based on the content of the notification message. By detecting keywords in the message content, the system dynamically selects from multiple processing methods (simple display, enhanced prompt, silent mode, information exchange). This parameter change enables the system to adapt its behavior to different message types without requiring a completely complex decision-making structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Ease of operation

If all notification messages are processed with the same method, then the system operation is simple, but unnecessary interruptions occur and user experience deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem operation simplicityVSAvoidunnecessary interruptions to user
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies different processing qualities to different notification messages based on their content. Messages containing predefined keywords receive specialized processing (such as enhanced prompts or silent mode), while other messages receive standard processing. This local differentiation reduces unnecessary interruptions for important messages while maintaining simple operation for routine messages.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary mechanism (keyword detection and processing method selection) between the notification message and the user. This intermediary analyzes the message content and determines the appropriate processing method, acting as a filter that prevents unnecessary interruptions while ensuring important messages receive appropriate attention. The intermediary layer maintains ease of operation by automatically making these decisions without requiring user configuration.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Adaptability or versatility

If keyword-based processing is implemented for notification messages, then differentiated handling is achieved, but the processing system becomes more complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedifferentiated message handling capabilityVSAvoidprocessing system structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements parameter changes by selecting different processing methods based on keyword detection in notification messages. The system monitors messages for predefined keywords and changes the processing parameter (method type) accordingly. This approach achieves differentiated handling while keeping the system relatively simple by using a straightforward keyword-matching mechanism rather than complex AI-based analysis.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs self-service by automatically detecting keywords in notification messages and selecting appropriate processing methods without requiring user intervention or complex configuration. The predefined keywords and their corresponding processing methods are built into the system, allowing it to autonomously differentiate and handle messages based on their content, thereby achieving adaptability without proportionally increasing operational complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
