Solution Overview

Problem

Users face low operation efficiency and poor user experience due to dispersed notification messages across multiple applications, requiring multiple operations to access and manage express delivery tracking information.

Innovation Solution

A method and mobile terminal that associate notification messages by matching semantic feature values, allowing for the consolidation and presentation of related messages from different channels within a single interface, improving message visibility and reducing the need for multiple app openings.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If notification messages are distributed across multiple applications, then each application can independently manage its own notifications, but users must open multiple applications to view related messages, reducing operation efficiency and user experience

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveIndependent notification managementVSAvoidOperation efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges notification messages from multiple different applications into a unified notification interface. The system extracts semantic features from notifications across different apps, identifies related messages, and presents them together in a single consolidated view, allowing users to access all related notifications without switching between applications

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary notification management system that sits between multiple applications and the user. This intermediary component extracts, analyzes, and reorganizes notifications from various sources, then presents them in a unified interface, acting as a mediator that maintains independent app functionality while improving user access efficiency

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Loss of information

If users open multiple applications to view notification messages, then they can access complete information, but they need to perform multiple operations, increasing time consumption and reducing productivity

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveInformation completenessVSAvoidOperation efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system combines multiple notification messages from different applications into a single unified notification interface. By extracting semantic features and identifying related messages across apps, it presents complete information in one location, eliminating the need for users to open multiple applications and perform repeated operations

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary analysis and organization of notification messages by extracting semantic features and establishing associations between related notifications from different applications. This pre-processing work is done automatically in the background, so when users access notifications, the information is already organized and ready for efficient viewing

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

A method, an apparatus, and a mobile terminal for associating notification messages, in the field of information technologies. In the disclosed embodiments, semantic feature values of notification messages in different applications are obtained, and notification messages that are in different applications and whose semantic feature values match are associated, so as to associate notification messages that are of associated events of a mobile terminal and that are from different channels (for example, different applications), thereby addressing notification messages of associated events being dispersedly distributed and thus prone to being forgotten by a user. Therefore, the user can conveniently view notification messages that are of associated events and that are from different channels, thereby effectively improving operation efficiency of the user, and improving user experience.
