Privacy Label Message Processing for Intelligent Terminals
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing message processing methods on intelligent terminals, such as Android and iOS devices, face issues where important push messages are not displayed in a timely manner due to privacy settings, and applications need to run in the background continuously, consuming power.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus that determine if a received message is privacy-related, generate a secondary message with a privacy label, and display a notification on the notification screen accordingly, allowing for granular control of message content visibility without requiring the application to run continuously.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of time
If all push messages are displayed on the lock screen interface, then the user can see all messages in time, but the risk of leaking personal privacy increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by differentiating the display treatment of different messages based on their privacy sensitivity. Important non-privacy messages are displayed with full content on the lock screen, while privacy-sensitive messages are displayed with masked or hidden content. This allows the system to optimize visibility for important messages while protecting privacy for sensitive messages, resolving the contradiction between notification timeliness and privacy protection.
2Reliability
If the application runs in the background continuously to determine message privacy levels, then the message privacy control is accurate, but the power consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by having the application server determine the privacy level of push messages before they are sent to the terminal device. The server labels messages with privacy level information in advance, so the terminal device does not need to continuously run background processes to analyze message content for privacy determination. This pre-processing approach ensures accurate privacy control while significantly reducing the power consumption on the terminal device.
3Use of energy by moving object
If the application does not run in the background, then the power consumption is reduced, but the message privacy level cannot be determined accurately
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary component - the application server - that performs the privacy level determination function. Instead of requiring the terminal application to run continuously, the server acts as a mediator that pre-determines privacy levels and attaches them to messages. The terminal device then simply displays messages according to the pre-determined privacy levels, achieving accurate privacy control with minimal local processing and low power consumption.

AI summary
Embodiments of the present invention provide a message processing method and apparatus and relate to the field of communications technologies. The method includes: receiving a first message sent by a first device to a second device; determining whether the first message is a privacy message; if the first message is a privacy message, generating a second message according to the first message, where the second message carries a first privacy label; and sending the second message to the second device, so that the second device displays a notification of the second message on a notification screen according to the first privacy label after receiving the second message. After receiving the second message, the second device displays the second message according to whether the second message carries the first privacy label, which achieves an objective that the second device displays message content of different granularities, so that not only a user can learn an important notification message in time, but also leakage of user privacy can be prevented.
