Solution Overview

Problem

Wearable devices often receive multiple push messages simultaneously, leading to missed notifications due to their folded display state.

Innovation Solution

A message push method that determines reminder moments based on service types, user status, and user preferences to individually display notifications at optimal times, allowing for user interaction and customization.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Speed

If multiple push messages are displayed simultaneously on wearable devices, then the information delivery speed is improved, but the messages are likely to be missed by users due to the folded display state

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation delivery speedVSAvoidmessage notification reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system determines reminder moments in advance based on service types and user status before the actual message push occurs. This preliminary scheduling ensures that messages are delivered at optimal times when users are most likely to notice them, preventing message loss while maintaining efficient information delivery.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The reminder moments are dynamically adjusted based on user status (such as activity state, location, or device usage patterns). This dynamic adaptation allows the system to optimize message delivery timing in real-time, ensuring high reliability without compromising delivery speed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Quantity of substance

If messages are displayed in a folded state to accommodate multiple notifications, then the device can handle more messages, but users are likely to miss important notifications

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenumber of messages handledVSAvoidmessage visibility
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The system pre-determines which messages should be prioritized and schedules their reminder moments accordingly. By planning message delivery in advance based on service types and user status, important notifications are ensured to be visible at appropriate times, preventing information loss while maintaining high message handling capacity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Productivity

If multiple messages are pushed simultaneously, then the information delivery efficiency is improved, but the user experience deteriorates due to message overlap and missed notifications

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation delivery efficiencyVSAvoiduser experience
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system schedules reminder moments in advance based on service types and user status, ensuring that multiple messages are delivered efficiently at different optimal times rather than simultaneously. This preliminary scheduling maintains high information delivery efficiency while preventing user experience degradation from message overlap.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

Messages are delivered at periodic intervals determined by their service types and user status. This periodic delivery pattern allows the system to maintain high productivity by delivering multiple messages over time, while ensuring each message receives adequate user attention, thereby maintaining ease of operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

AI summary

This application discloses a message push method and system, and a related apparatus. The method is applied to a first electronic device. The method includes: obtaining first service data sent by a first application, where the first service data includes a first service type, first service time, and first service content; determining a first reminder moment of a first service based on the first service type and the first service time; determining a first message based on the first service type, the first reminder moment, and the first service content; and detecting arrival of the first reminder moment, and displaying a first notification based on the first message. In this way, a message can be pushed based on a reminder moment, to avoid simultaneous push of a plurality of messages and therefore a user does not miss a message.
