In other words, at this time, only part of the content of the notification message is displayed on the screen of the display 11.

2A and 2B are schematic diagrams schematically showing a notification message according to an embodiment of the invention.

Referring to FIG. 2A, upon receiving a new notification message, a prompt 201 for receiving a new notification message is displayed at the top of the screen 21 of the display 11. In another embodiment, the prompt 201 may further include displaying a name or a pattern of the application service to which the notification message belongs, a name of the sender and/or a summary of the message, and the like. Referring to FIG. 2B, if the user opens a notification message browsing interface, one or more new notification messages that have not been read by the user will be presented on the notification message browsing interface. For example, as shown in FIG. 2B, the prompt blocks 210-230 of the notification message that have not been read by 3 are presented on the notification message browsing interface. Similar to prompt 201, prompt blocks 210~230 The name or pattern of the application service to which the notification message belongs, the name of the sender and/or the summary of the message, and the like may be displayed separately. The user can open the notification message browsing interface by performing a drag gesture or any operation gesture on the screen 21 of FIG. 2A. That is to say, the user can view the summary content of the notification message that has not been read through the prompt blocks 210-230 displayed in FIG. 2B, and decide to read or delete one or more notification messages.

3A and 3B are schematic diagrams of performing a read operation according to an embodiment of the invention.

Referring to FIG. 2B, FIG. 3A and FIG. 3B, if the user decides to read the notification message corresponding to the prompt block 220, the user can perform a read operation on the prompt block 220. For example, this read operation can be a click alert block 220. Upon receiving the read operation for the prompt block 220, the processor 16 displays the primary or complete content 301 of the notification message corresponding to the prompt block 220 on the screen 31 of the display 11. Then, if the user returns to the notification message browsing interface that was previously opened, the prompt box 220 corresponding to the notified message that has been read on the screen 32 is removed (as shown in FIG. 3B). In addition, if the user does not want to read a certain notification message, the user can delete one of the prompt blocks 210-230 by deleting. For example, in another embodiment of FIG. 2B, assuming that the user does not want to read the notification message corresponding to the prompt block 220, the user can perform a leftward or rightward sliding operation on the prompting block 220, for example; The prompt block 220 is then removed.

In this embodiment, after the communication module 15 receives the notification message (also referred to as the first notification message) belonging to an application service, the processor 16 records the corresponding The read time information (also referred to as the first read time information) of the read operation (also referred to as the first read operation) of the notification message. For example, the read time information includes the time elapsed from the receipt of the first notification message until the first notification message is read by the user. The processor 16 may obtain the time according to the time when the first notification message is received (ie, the receiving time of the first notification message) and the time when the first notification message is read by the user (ie, the execution time of the first reading operation). First read time information. For example, the processor 16 may obtain the first read time information by subtracting the execution time of the first read operation from the reception time of the first notification message.

The processor 16 obtains the first type of parameters of the application service based on the first read time information. The first type of parameter is used to indicate the immediacy of the notification message belonging to this application service. The value of this first type of parameter is inversely related to the value of the first read time information. That is, after receiving the first notification message belonging to the application service, if the user reads the first notification message later (ie, the value of the first read time information is larger), indicating that the application service is The notification message is less immediacy, so the value of the first type of parameter for this application service is smaller. However, in another embodiment, after receiving the first notification message belonging to the application service, if the user immediately reads the first notification message (ie, the value of the first read time information is small), The notification message indicating this application service is more immediacy, so the value of the first type of parameter of this application service is larger.

The processor 16 determines a prompt rule corresponding to the application service according to the first type of parameter of the application service. For example, processor 16 can determine if the value of the first type of parameter is greater than the first threshold. If the value of the first type of parameter is greater than the first threshold, processing The device 16 can determine the prompt rule of the application service as a preset prompt rule. If the value of the first type of parameter is not greater than the first threshold, the processor 16 may determine the prompt rule of the application service as another preset prompt rule. For example, different preset prompt rules may be at least one of including a vibrating alert, a flashing alert, and a voice prompt. After determining the prompt rule corresponding to the application service, if the communication module 15 receives another notification message (also referred to as a second notification message) belonging to the application service, the processor 16 may prompt according to the application service. The rule performs a prompt operation corresponding to the second notification message.

However, for an application service, the more data analyzed, the more accurate the evaluation of the application service will be. Therefore, in an embodiment, the communication module 15 can also receive another notification message (also referred to as a third notification message) belonging to the application service before deciding the prompt rule corresponding to the application service. The processor 16 records the read time information (also referred to as the second read time information) corresponding to the read operation (also referred to as the second read operation) of the third notification message. For example, the processor 16 may select the time when the third notification message is received (ie, the receiving time of the third notification message) and the time when the third notification message is read by the user (ie, the execution time of the second reading operation). Obtain this second read time information. For example, the processor 16 may obtain the second read time information by subtracting the execution time of the second read operation from the reception time of the third notification message. The value of the second read time information is also inversely related to the value of the first type of parameter of the application service. Then, the processor 16 calculates the average read time information of the first read time information and the second read time information. The average read time information is, for example, an average or a weighted average of the first read time information and the second read time information, or The first read time information and the second read time information are obtained by inputting a program or a lookup table.

It is worth mentioning that the first read time information and the second read time information are only an example. In fact, the average read time information may be based on more read time information corresponding to the same application service. obtain. After obtaining the average read time information, the processor 16 can obtain the first type of parameters of the application service based on the average read time information. The value of this average read time information is also inversely related to the value of the first type of parameter of this application service. In an embodiment, Equation (1) below may be utilized to obtain a first type of parameter for this application service.

Where P ₁ is the first type of parameter for this application service, T _avg is the average read time information, and α can be a positive number.

In an embodiment, the processor 16 determines whether the notification message belonging to an application service is read or deleted. For example, taking the first notification message as an example, the processor 16 may determine that the user operation corresponding to the first notification message is a read operation (ie, the first read operation described above) or a delete operation. In the above embodiment, since the first notification message is read, the processor 16 performs the above-described operation of recording the first read time information. In addition, if the notification message belonging to an application service is read, the processor 16 also updates the reading information of the application service (for example, adding 1 to the value of the number of readings). This read count information is the number of times the notification message indicating that an application service has been read. In addition, in another embodiment, if corresponding to the first If the user operation of the notification message is a deletion operation (for example, the user directly deletes the first notification message without reading it), the processor 16 updates the deletion information of the application service (for example, the number of times the information is deleted) The value is increased by 1). This deletion information is the number of times the notification message of an application service is deleted without being read. In particular, if a notification message belonging to an application service has been read (the information of the number of times the application service is updated), the deletion information of the application service will not be deleted after the notification message is deleted. Update.

In an embodiment, the processor 16 obtains the second type of parameters of the application service according to the read count information and the delete count information of the application service. The second type of parameter is used to indicate the importance of the notification message belonging to this application service. The value of this second type of parameter is inversely related to the value of this application service's delete count information and is positively correlated with the value of this application service's read count information. That is, for a predetermined number of notification messages belonging to the application service, if more notification messages are read in the notification messages, the value of the second type parameter of the application service is larger; The more notification messages in these notification messages are deleted without being read, the smaller the value of the second type of parameters of the application service. In an embodiment, Equation 2 (2) below may be utilized to obtain a second type of parameter for this application service.

Where P ₂ is the second type of parameter of the application service, N ₁ is the read count information of the application service, N ₂ is the deletion count information of the application service, and β can be any positive number.

In an embodiment, the processor 16 determines a prompt rule corresponding to the application service according to the first type of parameter and the second type of parameter. For example, processor 16 may determine whether the value of the first type of parameter is greater than the first threshold and determine if the value of the second type of parameter is greater than the second threshold. If the value of the first type parameter is greater than the first threshold and the value of the second parameter is greater than the second threshold, the processor 16 may determine the prompt rule corresponding to the application service as the first prompt rule; The value of the first type parameter is greater than the first threshold and the value of the second type parameter is not greater than the second threshold. The processor 16 may determine the prompt rule corresponding to the application service as the second prompt rule; if the value of the first type parameter is not greater than The first threshold value and the value of the second type parameter are greater than the second threshold value, and the processor 16 may determine the prompt rule corresponding to the application service as the third prompt rule; and if the value of the first type parameter is not greater than the first threshold value And the value of the second type of parameter is not greater than the second threshold, and the processor 16 may determine the prompt rule corresponding to the application service as the fourth prompt rule. The first to fourth prompt rules may be at least one of different ones including a vibrating alert, a flashing alert, and a voice prompt. For example, in an embodiment, the first prompt rule may be set to enable the vibrating alert and the flashing prompt; the second prompting rule is set to turn on the vibrating alert to turn off the flashing prompt; and the third prompting rule is set to turn off the vibrating alert to be turned on. Flashing prompt; and setting the fourth prompt rule to turn off the vibrating alert and flashing alert. That is to say, in this embodiment, when receiving the notification message of the application service with high immediacy and importance, the processor 16 instructs the prompting module 14 to emit vibration and flash; when the reception is high When the notification message of the application service is not important, the processor 16 instructs the prompting module 14 to only vibrate; when receiving the notification message of the application service with low immediacy but high importance, the processing is processed. The device 16 instructs the prompting module 14 to only emit a flash; when receiving the notification message of the application service that is not immediately immobile and of low importance, the processor 16 instructs the prompting module 14 to prompt only in a bright screen manner. There are new messages. However, the manner in which the hint rule is set is not limited to the above. In addition, in another embodiment, the different prompt rules can also be set by adjusting the vibration intensity of the vibration, the brightness of the flash (or the color, the flash frequency), and/or the switch/volume of the voice prompt, etc. No restrictions. Therefore, after determining the prompt rule corresponding to the application service, if the communication module 15 receives the second notification message belonging to the application service, the processor 16 performs the corresponding corresponding to the prompt rule corresponding to the application service. The prompt action of this second notification message.
