Solution Overview

Problem

Existing push notification messages in terminal devices lack security and personalization, with sensitive information unprotected and hardware resource usage inefficient due to complete application pulling.

Innovation Solution

A trusted first application is used to reassemble push messages based on configuration information, without requiring a full second application structure, thus reducing resource usage and enhancing security and personalization.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If the complete second application is pulled up to perform message reassembly operation, then the message can be reassembled and displayed with personalization, but the hardware resource occupation increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemessage reassembly capabilityVSAvoidhardware resource occupation
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the second application into two separate components: a lightweight first application that performs message reassembly operations and a second application that provides the complete functionality. The first application contains only the necessary reassembly code and configuration information, separating the heavy-duty functionality from the lightweight operational component. This segmentation allows the system to perform message reassembly without loading the entire second application, thereby reducing hardware resource occupation while maintaining reassembly capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Productivity

If the notification message is displayed in plaintext form, then the display is simple and fast, but the sensitive information is exposed and cannot be protected

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemessage display speedVSAvoidinformation security risk
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by performing message reassembly in advance within the first application before the message is displayed to the user. The configuration information is pre-configured in the first application, and the message reassembly operation is executed beforehand, transforming the plaintext message into a protected format. This ensures that sensitive information is protected before display occurs, eliminating the security risk associated with plaintext display while maintaining efficient display performance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Ease of operation

If the first application is designed with complete structure like the second application, then it can perform all operations independently, but the resource occupation increases unnecessarily

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveindependent operation capabilityVSAvoidapplication structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts only the essential message reassembly functionality from the second application to create the first application. The first application contains specifically extracted elements: reassembly code and configuration information, while excluding other unnecessary components of the complete application structure. This extraction allows the first application to perform message reassembly operations independently without requiring the full complexity of the second application's structure, thereby reducing device complexity while maintaining operational independence for the specific task.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

AI summary

Embodiments of this application provide a message processing method and apparatus, and an electronic device. The method is applied to a terminal device, and the method includes: receiving a first message; and pulling up a first application when the first message is a reassembly message, so that the first application performs message reassembly on the first message, including: reading, by the first application, message reassembly configuration information, and performing a message reassembly operation on the first message based on the message reassembly configuration information, to generate a second message. According to the method in the embodiments of this application, after a pushed message is received, the first application is pulled up to reassemble the message, so as to improve user experience of message display.
