Window-Specific Notification Bar for Multi-Interface Terminals
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In a multi-window scenario on intelligent terminals, users face difficulty in finding specific notification messages amidst a large quantity of notifications, leading to interference from unrelated messages.
Innovation Solution
A notification processing method that displays a notification bar corresponding to a specific window or application, showing only the current notification message, thereby filtering out other messages and reducing interference.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If all notification messages are displayed in a single notification bar, then the user can access all notifications, but the user cannot easily find specific notifications amidst large quantities of messages
Solution Approach 1:
The notification system is segmented into multiple notification bars, each associated with a specific window. When a user interacts with a particular window, only the notification bar for that window is displayed, segmenting the notification display space to improve searchability while maintaining access to relevant notifications.
Solution Approach 2:
Different notification bars are created with different local qualities - each notification bar is tailored to display notifications specific to its associated window. This allows the notification display to have different characteristics in different regions, improving the ability to find specific notifications.
2Ease of operation
If multiple notification bars are displayed simultaneously for different windows, then the user can access notifications for each window, but the display interface becomes complex and cluttered
Solution Approach 1:
The notification bar display is made dynamic - notification bars are displayed or hidden based on user interaction with different windows. Only the notification bar corresponding to the currently active or selected window is displayed, while others remain hidden. This dynamic behavior maintains interface simplicity while ensuring notification accessibility.
3Loss of information
If the notification bar displays all notification messages, then comprehensive information is provided, but unrelated messages interfere with the user's ability to find relevant notifications
Solution Approach 1:
The relevant notification messages are extracted from the complete set of all notifications and placed in a dedicated notification bar for the specific window. By taking out only the relevant notifications and displaying them separately, the harmful interference from unrelated messages is eliminated while maintaining completeness of relevant information.

AI summary
A notification processing method includes: displaying a first window and a second window in a display screen by regions; and popping up, in response to a preset operation on the first window, a first notification bar corresponding to the first window, and displaying, in the first notification bar, a current notification message of the first window or a notification message of a current application corresponding to the first window.
