Session Screening Interfaces for Notification-Based Message Filtering
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Instant messaging applications often display all sessions simultaneously, leading to unimportant sessions interfering with important ones, causing user distraction and increased time to find relevant information.
Innovation Solution
Implementing a method and apparatus that display at least two session screening identifications with different notification strategies in a first message page, allowing users to select one, and displaying corresponding session information in a second message page, thereby filtering out sessions based on user-defined notification preferences.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If all sessions are displayed simultaneously, then users can see all conversations at once, but important sessions become lost among unimportant ones causing user distraction
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments sessions into different categories based on notification strategies (e.g., important sessions with real-time notifications vs. less important sessions with delayed or summary notifications). This segmentation allows the interface to prioritize and display important sessions differently, reducing distraction from unimportant sessions while maintaining visibility of all conversations.
Solution Approach 2:
Different notification strategies are applied to different sessions based on their importance level. Important sessions receive real-time notifications with detailed content, while less important sessions receive summarized or delayed notifications. This local differentiation ensures that important information stands out without overwhelming the user with all session details simultaneously.
2Loss of time
If session information is filtered by notification strategy, then user operations and search time are reduced, but the interface complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary classification of sessions into different notification strategy groups before the user needs to search. By pre-organizing sessions according to their notification preferences and importance levels, the interface can quickly filter and present relevant sessions without requiring complex real-time search operations, thus reducing user search time while keeping the interface relatively simple.
3Reliability
If multiple notification strategies are implemented, then important messages are prioritized, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The notification system dynamically adjusts its behavior based on session importance and user preferences. Different notification strategies (real-time, summary, delayed, none) are applied dynamically to different sessions based on their characteristics and user-configured priorities. This dynamic approach ensures reliable delivery of critical information while managing system complexity through automated classification rules.

AI summary
Embodiments of the present disclosure discloses a method of information displaying, apparatus and an electronic device. The method comprises: displaying at least two session screening identifications in a first display area of a first message page, the at least two session screening identifications comprising: a first screening identification for indicating that a new message in a session is notified with a first notification strategy, and a second screening identification for indicating that a new message in the session is notified with a second notification strategy; and displaying information of each session corresponding to a currently selected session screening identification in a second display area of a second message page. The method may only display sessions that match user requests, reducing operations of users searching for required sessions in all sessions lists and saving time for users to browse required sessions.
