Notification View Updates for New Messages Without Unique IDs
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Wearable devices or secondary devices cannot distinguish new messages from existing messages in notifications due to the absence of unique IDs, leading to difficulties in updating the notification view when multiple messages are received within a short period or due to connection issues.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device with a processor configured to identify a new message by comparing chat groups and displaying only the new message on the display, even when the notification lacks a unique ID, using methods such as panel ID comparison and message content analysis.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a notification includes multiple messages without unique IDs, then the notification can be transmitted to wearable devices, but the device cannot distinguish new messages from existing messages
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a mediator component that compares message content between the notification received from the external device and the messages already stored in the notification view. This mediator identifies new messages by detecting content differences without requiring unique IDs, thereby resolving the contradiction between enabling notification transmission and achieving accurate message identification.
2Loss of information
If the wearable device displays all messages in a notification, then complete message history is provided, but the device cannot efficiently handle multiple notifications with many messages
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts and displays only the new messages that have been identified through content comparison, rather than displaying all messages in the notification. This extraction approach maintains message history completeness for new messages while significantly improving processing efficiency by avoiding redundant display of already-shown messages.
3Reliability
If the device replaces the existing notification view with a new notification view, then the latest notification is displayed, but the update experience is not seamless
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the notification view update process into two parts: maintaining the existing notification view structure and selectively adding only the new messages to it. This segmentation allows the display to remain stable and familiar to users while seamlessly integrating new information, thus improving user experience smoothness without sacrificing display accuracy.

AI summary
An electronic device comprises a display connected to a processor, wherein the processor can display at least a part of at least one first message included in a first notification, confirm whether a first chat group corresponding to the first message is the same as a second chat group corresponding to second messages included in a second notification, if the second notification is acquired while at the first message is displayed, confirm, on the basis of the first message and the plurality of second messages, at least one new message included in the second messages, if the first chat group is the same as the second chat group, further display at least one new message while the first message is displayed, and display an indicator related to the second notification while the first message is displayed, if the first chat group and second chat group are different from each other.
