Terminal Notification Settings for Privacy-Based User Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing advertisement distribution systems lack user control over notification settings, particularly regarding the use of user-related information, leading to potential inconvenience.
Innovation Solution
A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing instructions that enable a terminal device to display setting screens allowing users to select whether to enable notifications using or not using user-related information, thereby enhancing user control over notification types.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a simple advertisement window is displayed when receiving a push notification, then the system operation is simple, but user control over notification settings is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The notification setting screen is segmented into multiple selective objects, each controlling different types of notifications. The first selective object controls first-type notifications (without user-related information), while the second selective object controls second-type notifications (with user-related information). This segmentation allows users to independently control different notification categories, resolving the contradiction between simple operation and user control versatility.
2Adaptability or versatility
If notifications use user-related information, then notification personalization is improved, but user privacy control is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The notification system dynamically adapts based on user preferences. The setting screen provides dynamic control where users can switch between first-type and second-type notifications using selective objects. When users select second-type notifications, personalized notifications using user-related information are enabled; when first-type is selected, notifications without user-related information are used. This dynamic control mechanism allows users to easily manage their privacy preferences while still accessing personalized notification options.

AI summary
A terminal device may display a setting screen on a display unit of the terminal device, the setting screen being for setting whether to enable a notification related to a target device used by a user of the terminal device. The setting screen may include a first selective object for selecting whether to enable a first-type notification for which user-related information related to the user is not used; and a second selective object for selecting whether to enable a second-type notification for which the user-related information is used.
