Multi-Terminal Upgrade Prompts for Interactive Compatibility Checks
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing upgrade prompt methods for terminal devices do not account for multi-device interaction scenarios, affecting the ability of devices to perform interactive operations after updates, which impacts user experience.
Innovation Solution
An upgrade prompt method that determines a second terminal device's compatibility by obtaining attribute information of an upgrade version, generating remark information based on current and target versions, and displaying prompt information to facilitate timely upgrades across devices.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If upgrade prompt information only records updated content of a single terminal device, then the upgrade prompt system remains simple and independent, but the system cannot determine whether interactive operations with other terminal devices are supported after upgrade
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the upgrade prompt information into two distinct parts: (1) basic upgrade information about the first terminal device, and (2) compatibility information about the second terminal device. This segmentation allows the system to retrieve and display only the necessary compatibility data when needed, rather than permanently storing all possible interaction scenarios, thus resolving the contradiction between information completeness and system simplicity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent performs preliminary actions by pre-storing attribute information of upgrade versions and compatibility relationships in a database before actual upgrade prompts are generated. When an upgrade is detected, the system quickly retrieves pre-compatibility assessments rather than performing real-time analysis, which maintains system simplicity while ensuring compatibility information is available.
2Reliability
If the system checks compatibility with other terminal devices, then interactive operation support can be determined, but the upgrade prompt system becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs compatibility assessments in advance and stores the results in a database. When generating upgrade prompts, it simply retrieves pre-computed compatibility information rather than performing complex real-time analysis, thereby ensuring reliable compatibility determination while maintaining system simplicity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a simplified representation (copy) of the compatibility relationship between terminal devices by storing attribute information and compatibility status in a database. This copy allows the system to quickly determine compatibility without performing complex real-time calculations, thus improving reliability while controlling complexity.
3Ease of operation
If compatibility information is not provided in upgrade prompts, then the prompt system remains simple, but users cannot determine whether upgraded devices can perform interactive operations
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements feedback by including compatibility information in the upgrade prompt, which provides users with actionable insights about whether their other devices will work with the upgraded device. This feedback loop enables informed user decisions while maintaining a relatively simple prompt structure by only displaying relevant compatibility data.
Solution Approach 2:
The upgrade prompt is segmented to include only the necessary compatibility information about the second terminal device, rather than overwhelming the user with all possible system details. This selective information presentation improves ease of operation by highlighting only the relevant compatibility status needed for user decision-making.

AI summary
This application is applicable to the field of terminal technologies, and in particular, relates to an upgrade prompt method, a terminal device, and a computer-readable storage medium. In the method, when the first terminal device has an upgrade version, a second terminal device and a target version corresponding to the second terminal device may be determined based on attribute information of the upgrade version, and a current version corresponding to the second terminal device may be obtained. Then, remark information of the second terminal device may be generated based on the target version and the current version that correspond to the second terminal device, and upgrade prompt information of the first terminal device may be generated based on the attribute information of the upgrade version and the remark information of the second terminal device, to prompt a user to upgrade the first terminal device. In addition, whether the second terminal device that can perform an interactive operation with the first terminal device can currently perform an interactive operation with the upgraded first terminal device is displayed, so that the user can conveniently upgrade the second terminal device, thereby facilitating the interactive operation, and improving user experience.
