Solution Overview

Problem

Current interface sharing solutions between intelligent terminal devices suffer from low security and poor flexibility, as they do not adequately differentiate between notification messages that should or should not be shared, leading to unintended exposure of private information.

Innovation Solution

A method where a first terminal device determines whether a notification message triggers a preset sharing-forbidden interface, and if so, only shares the original interface or suspends sharing, using interface and application identifiers to make this determination, and sends specific notifications to manage the sharing process.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If the terminal device shares all notification message interfaces with the second terminal device, then the interface sharing completeness is improved, but the information security deteriorates due to exposure of private information

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinterface sharing completenessVSAvoidinformation security
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments notification messages into two categories: shareable notifications and private notifications. By classifying different types of notification messages (e.g., game notifications vs. call/SMS/QQ notifications), the system selectively shares only appropriate interfaces with the second terminal device, preventing exposure of private information while maintaining sharing completeness for permitted content.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Adaptability or versatility

If the terminal device shares all notification message interfaces with the second terminal device, then the interface sharing flexibility is improved, but the user control capability deteriorates due to inability to selectively share

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinterface sharing flexibilityVSAvoiduser control capability
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the system automatically determines whether to share a notification interface based on its type, and provides visual feedback to the user through toasts or pop-up windows explaining why certain interfaces are blocked from sharing. This allows the system to adaptively control sharing while keeping users informed about the sharing decisions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Loss of time

If the terminal device shares the second interface triggered by notification messages, then the real-time information synchronization is improved, but the power consumption deteriorates due to continuous monitoring and sharing

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation synchronization timelinessVSAvoidpower consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-defining which notification types should be shared and which should be blocked before actual notification events occur. The system establishes a classification rule set in advance, allowing it to quickly determine shareability without continuous analysis, thereby reducing processing overhead and power consumption while maintaining real-time synchronization for permitted notifications.

AI summary

The present invention relates to the field of communications technologies, and in particular, to an interface sharing method and a terminal device. In this solution, in a process in which a first terminal device shares a first interface with a second terminal device, if the first terminal device obtains a notification message used to trigger generation of a second interface, the first terminal device first needs to determine whether the second interface corresponding to the notification message belongs to a preset sharing-forbidden interface. If the second interface belongs to the preset sharing-forbidden interface, the first terminal device shares only the first interface with the second terminal device, or suspends interface sharing with the second terminal device. Therefore, security and flexibility are improved.
