Solution Overview

Problem

Notification messages in virtual reality devices are often displayed at fixed positions, which can obstruct important scene information and hinder user interaction, leading to a suboptimal user experience due to their inability to adapt to complex and dynamic virtual environments.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus that dynamically adjust the display position of notification messages in response to changes in the state of close-range panels and navigation bars within the virtual reality interface, ensuring they do not obstruct these elements and enhancing user interaction.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If notification messages are displayed at fixed positions in virtual reality interfaces, then the display implementation is simple, but the notification messages obstruct important scene information and hinder user interaction

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser interactionVSAvoiddisplay position adjustment mechanism
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The notification message display position is changed from fixed to dynamic, automatically adjusting its position based on the spatial relationship with close-range panels and navigation bars. This resolves the contradiction by making the display system adaptive to different interface states, improving user interaction while maintaining reasonable implementation complexity through automated position calculation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system continuously monitors the display states of close-range panels and navigation bars, and automatically adjusts notification message positions based on this feedback. This feedback mechanism enables the notification display to adapt to changing interface conditions, resolving the contradiction between simple implementation and effective user interaction.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Adaptability or versatility

If notification messages are displayed at fixed positions, then the display system is simple to implement, but the system cannot adapt to complex and dynamic virtual environments

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadaptation to dynamic virtual environmentVSAvoiddynamic position adjustment system
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The notification display system transitions from a static fixed-position approach to a dynamic adaptive system that automatically adjusts positions based on the virtual environment state. This dynamic adjustment enables adaptation to complex and changing virtual scenarios while the underlying implementation remains manageable through systematic position calculation rules.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes the display position parameter of notification messages dynamically based on the states of close-range panels and navigation bars. By adjusting this key parameter in response to environmental changes, the system achieves adaptability to complex virtual environments without requiring overly complex structural changes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Loss of information

If notification messages are displayed at fixed positions, then the display implementation is straightforward, but important scene information is obstructed

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvescene information visibilityVSAvoidposition adjustment mechanism
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements a feedback mechanism that monitors whether notification messages are obstructing important scene information, and automatically adjusts positions to eliminate obstruction. This feedback-driven approach ensures scene information visibility while keeping the adjustment mechanism relatively simple through automated decision-making.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The notification display position becomes dynamic rather than fixed, automatically adapting to avoid obstructing important scene information. This dynamic adjustment resolves the contradiction by making the system responsive to information visibility requirements while maintaining implementation feasibility through systematic position recalculation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

AI summary

A notification message display method and apparatus, an electronic device, and a storage medium. The method includes: displaying, in response to a detected notification trigger event, a notification message corresponding to the notification trigger event in a current display interface of a virtual reality scene, wherein the current display interface is provided with at least one of a close-range panel or a navigation bar (S110); and adjusting a display position of the notification message in the current display interface in response to a change in a display state of at least one of the close-range panel or the navigation bar in the current display interface (S120).
