Detailed Description

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. It should be apparent that the described embodiments are only a few embodiments of the present application, and not all embodiments. Reference herein to "an embodiment" means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with the embodiment can be included in at least one embodiment of the present application. The appearances of the phrase in various places in the specification are not necessarily all referring to the same embodiment, nor are separate or alternative embodiments mutually exclusive of other embodiments. Those skilled in the art will explicitly and implicitly appreciate that the embodiments described herein may be combined with other embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.

The terms "first," "second," "third," and the like in the description and claims of this application and in the accompanying drawings are used for distinguishing between different objects and not necessarily for describing a particular order. Furthermore, the terms "comprising" and "having," as well as any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions. For example, a process may comprise a sequence of steps or elements, or may alternatively comprise steps or elements not listed, or may alternatively comprise other steps or elements inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus.

Only some, but not all, of the material relevant to the present application is shown in the drawings. Before discussing exemplary embodiments in greater detail, it should be noted that some exemplary embodiments are described as processes or methods depicted as flowcharts. Although a flowchart may describe the operations (or steps) as a sequential process, many of the operations can be performed in parallel, concurrently or simultaneously. In addition, the order of the operations may be re-arranged. The process may be terminated when its operations are completed, but may have additional steps not included in the figure. The processes may correspond to methods, functions, procedures, subroutines, and the like.

As used in this specification, the terms "component," "module," "system," "unit," and the like are intended to refer to a computer-related entity, either hardware, firmware, a combination of hardware and software, or software in execution. For example, a unit may be, but is not limited to being, a process running on a processor, an object, an executable, a thread of execution, a program, and/or distributed between two or more computers. In addition, these units may execute from various computer readable media having various data structures stored thereon. The units may communicate by way of local and/or remote processes such as in accordance with a signal having one or more data packets (e.g., from a second unit of data interacting with a local system, distributed system, and/or across a network such as the internet with other systems by way of the signal).

With the continuous development of internet technology and terminal device technology, electronic devices can download various applications through a network to complete different services. For example, a user may download a video application via an electronic device and then search for, and view, videos on the electronic device. The social application may also be downloaded by the electronic device, and the social application may communicate with the friends in the list. After the electronic device downloads the application, the application may obtain an authority request for sending the message notification to the electronic device, so that the application sends the notification message, and further reminds the user of performing related operations. For example, when the browser application has a new version that needs to be updated, the browser may send a push message to prompt the user to update the version of the browser, where the push message is a notification message sent by the browser. Alternatively, the music application sends a push message, recommending a song list or the like to the user. The electronic device may display an icon of an application sending the notification message in a notification message display area of the interface to indicate that the application sent the notification message, thereby prompting the user to view the notification messages sent by the applications in time.

Illustratively, as shown in fig. 1A, is a main interface 10 of an electronic device 100. Icons of a plurality of applications, such as a camera icon 101, a gallery icon 102, and the like, are included in the home interface 10. Further, an application message icon display area 103 is also included in the home interface 10. As can be seen from fig. 1A, the application message icon display area 103 includes a music application icon 1031 therein, the music application icon 1031 being used to prompt the user that the music application has sent the notification message.

The user can operate the electronic device, so that the electronic device displays a message notification interface and views the notification message sent by the application. Illustratively, as shown in fig. 1A above, after the electronic device 100 detects an input operation to the touch screen (e.g., sliding down from the notification message display area 103), in response to the operation, the electronic device 100 displays the user interface 11 as shown in fig. 1B, where the user interface 11 is a message notification interface.

As shown in fig. 1B, the message notification interface includes an application icon and a notification message display frame corresponding to the application icon. The icon 111A of the music application corresponds to the notification message display box 111B, and the displayed notification message is "recommend new song, relaxed mood" in the notification message display box 111B. The video application icon 112A corresponds to the notification message display box 112B, and the displayed notification message is "animation XX updated to the latest set". The social application icon 113A corresponds to the notification message display box 113B, and the displayed notification message is "xiaoming: rain, drive attention ". The shopping application 114A corresponds to the notification message display box 114B, which displays a notification message of "new clothes are new". The electronic apparatus 100 may perform corresponding processing after detecting a single-click operation of the user with respect to any one of the notification message display boxes. For example, if the electronic device 1000 detects a click operation on the notification message display box 112B, in response to the click operation, the electronic device 100 may start a video application and display a video playing interface to play the latest video of the animation XX. For another example, when detecting the notification message display box 114B, the electronic device 100 switches the shopping application to foreground operation, and displays a shopping interface or the like.

The application needs to obtain the sending authority of the notification message when sending the notification message, and for the application which does not obtain the sending authority of the notification message, the electronic device does not display the notification message of the application in the message notification interface. The application may request the electronic device to acquire the notification message sending right after installation. The embodiment of the present application takes installing a video application as an example for explanation.

As shown in fig. 1C, an exemplary user interface for the video application is first launched after the video application is installed for the electronic device 100. A notification permission request information box 261 is included in the user interface, and the notification permission request information box 261 is used for requesting a user to give the video application permission to send a notification message. If the electronic device 100 detects a single-click operation for the determination control 1211, in response to the operation, the electronic device 100 gives the video application the right to transmit the notification message. In this way, in the case of a video application notification message, the notification message sent by the video application is displayed on the message notification interface.

In a possible implementation manner, the user can also give/cancel the authority of the application to send the notification message in the notification message management interface of the electronic device. Illustratively, as shown in fig. 1D, an exemplary interface of a notification message management interface of the electronic device 100 is provided for the embodiment of the present application. The interface includes the names of the applications and the selection controls, as shown in fig. 1D, the four applications, i.e., the current music application, the video application, the social application, and the shopping application, have the authority to send the notification message (the colors of the selection controls 131, 132, 133, and 134 are gray), and the applications 1 to 3 do not have the authority to send the notification message (the colors of the selection controls 135, 136, and 137 are white). If the electronic apparatus 100 detects a one-click operation on the selection control 135, in response to the operation, the electronic apparatus 100 gives the application 1 the right to send a notification message (the color of the selection control 135 changes from white to gray).

The above-mentioned embodiments of fig. 1A to 1D illustrate the process of giving/cancelling the authority of the application to send the notification message to the electronic device and displaying the notification message sent by the application in the message notification interface by the electronic device. After the electronic device gives the application the right to send the notification message, the notification message of the application can be displayed on the message notification interface. When a plurality of applications with the authority of sending the notification messages send the notification messages, the electronic device displays the notification messages sent by the plurality of applications on a notification message interface.

The message notification interface has a limited number of notification messages to display due to the size of the message notification interface. When the number of the notification messages of the application exceeds the maximum number that can be displayed by the message notification interface, the message notification interface only displays N notification messages (N is the maximum number of the notification messages that can be displayed by the message notification interface), and the user can browse other notification messages that are not currently displayed by operating the message notification center (for example, sliding the notification messages up and down).

Illustratively, as shown in fig. 2A, the maximum number of notification messages displayed on the message notification interface is 4, and it is assumed that 5 applications in the electronic device 100 have the right to send notification messages, and all of the 5 applications send notification messages. The electronic device 100 displays only notification messages of the music application, the video application, the social application, and the shopping application in the message notification interface, depending on the size of the message notification interface. After the electronic device 100 detects a user's slide-up operation for a notification message box in the message notification interface, the electronic device 100 displays a message notification interface as shown in fig. 2B in response to the operation.

As shown in fig. 2B, in the message notification interface, a notification message box 201 of the application 1, a notification message box 202 of the application 2, a notification message box 203 of the application 3, and a notification message box 204 of the application 4 are displayed, and these 4 notification message boxes display notification messages transmitted by the applications 1 to 4, respectively.

Therefore, in a case where there are a plurality of applications having an authority to transmit notification messages, the electronic device displays a large number of notification messages in the message notification interface. The user needs to browse all notification messages in the message notification interface to determine whether there are notification messages for the target application. Therefore, the user can not quickly position the notification message of the target application, the time for obtaining the notification message of the target application by the user is greatly prolonged, and the use experience of the user is reduced.

In order to solve the above problem, an embodiment of the present application provides a message display method and a related electronic device, where the method includes: a notification message display bar of the electronic equipment is divided into two parts, namely a notification message display area and an application icon navigation bar. The notification message display area is used for displaying notification messages sent by the application, and the application icon navigation bar is used for displaying icons of the application. When the notification message of the application is displayed in the notification message display area, if the electronic equipment detects an input operation aiming at a target icon in the application icon navigation bar, and the notification message sent by the application corresponding to the target icon is displayed in the notification message display area, in response to the operation, the electronic equipment only displays the notification message of the application corresponding to the target icon in the notification message area and does not display the notification messages of other applications.

By the method, when the notification messages of the plurality of applications exist in the notification message display bar, the electronic equipment can quickly position the notification messages of the target applications, so that the time for a user to search the notification messages of the target applications is saved, and the user experience is improved.

An application scenario of the message display method provided in the embodiment of the present application is exemplarily described below with reference to fig. 3A to 3R.

As shown in fig. 3A, an exemplary diagram of a notification message display field 301. A notification message display region 3011 and an application icon navigation bar 3012 are included in the notification message display bar 301. The notification message display area 3011 is used to display a notification message sent by an application, where the notification message sent by the application may be a push message, a chat message, or the like of the application, and the embodiment of the present application is not limited. As shown in fig. 3A, a notification message of an application and an icon of the application are displayed on the notification message display region 3011. For example, a notification message "recommend new song, relax mood" of a music application and an icon 3021A of the music application are displayed in the notification message display region 3011. A notification message "animation XX updated to the latest album" of the video application is displayed, and an icon 3022A of the video application. Display of the social application' Xiaoming: rain, attention to drive ", and icon 3023A of a social application. A notification message "new on new clothes" of the shopping application is displayed, and an icon 3024A of the shopping application.

The notification message display field 301 in fig. 3A described above may be in a message notification interface of the electronic device 100. For example, FIG. 3B illustrates a message notification interface diagram of electronic device 100. The notification message display bar 301 in fig. 3A may also be in the screen lock interface shown in fig. 3C, which is an exemplary interface of the electronic device 100 for locking the screen as shown in fig. 3C. The embodiment of the present application does not limit in which interface the notification message display field is displayed, and exemplifies the case where the notification message display field is displayed in the message notification interface.

Fig. 3B is an exemplary diagram of the notification message interface 30 of the electronic device 100. A notification message display section 301 is included in the notification message interface 30. A notification message display region 3011 and an application icon navigation bar 3012 are included in the notification message display bar 301. The notification message display area 3011 is used to display a notification message sent by an application, where the notification message sent by the application may be a push message, a chat message, or the like of the application, and the embodiment of the present application is not limited.

As shown in fig. 3B, a notification message transmitted by an application and an icon of the application are displayed on the notification message display region 3011. For example, a notification message "recommend new song, relax mood" of a music application and an icon 3021A of the music application are displayed in the notification message display region 3011. A notification message "animation XX updated to the latest album" of the video application is displayed, and an icon 3022A of the video application. The notification message "Xiaoming" of the social application is displayed: rain, driving attention ", and an icon 3023A of a social application. A notification message "new on new clothes" of the shopping application is displayed, and an icon 3024A of the shopping application. A plurality of application icons are included in the application icon navigation bar 3012, for example, a music application icon 3012A, a video application icon 3012B, a social application icon 3012C, and a shopping application icon 3012D are displayed in the application icon navigation bar 3012.

In some embodiments, due to the limited area of the app icon navigation bar, a maximum of N app icons (e.g., N = 4) are displayed, and when the number of icons in the app icon navigation bar is greater than N, the app icon navigation bar hides a portion of the app icons. The user can view the hidden application icons in the application icon navigation bar by sliding the application icon navigation bar.

For example, in fig. 3B, the application icon navigation bar 3012 displays 4 application icons at most, and when the electronic device 100 detects an input operation (e.g., a leftward swipe) with respect to the application icon navigation bar 3012, the electronic device 100 displays the application icon navigation bar 3012 as shown in fig. 3D in response to the operation.

As shown in fig. 3D, the application icon navigation bar 3012 displays a video application icon 3012B, a social application icon 3012C, a shopping application icon 3012D, and an icon 3012E for application 1, and no longer displays a music application icon 3012A. The embodiment of the application is only described in an exemplary manner for viewing the hidden application icons in the application icon navigation bar, and it should be understood that other methods exist for viewing the hidden icons in the application icon navigation bar.

In fig. 3B, the notification message display area 3011 may display only the notification messages sent by the application corresponding to the application icon in the application icon navigation bar 3012. Assuming that only the music application icon 3012A, the video application icon 3012B, the social application icon 3012C, and the shopping application icon 3012D are in the application icon navigation bar 3012, only notification messages for the music application, the video application, the social application, and the shopping application are displayed in the notification message display area 3011. As shown in fig. 3D, when the electronic device 100 detects an input operation (e.g., a single click) with respect to the first control 3013, in response to the operation, the electronic device 100 may display notification messages of all notification message sending applications in the notification message display area 3011. For example, as shown in fig. 3E, after an input operation to the first control 3013 is detected, in addition to notification messages of a music application, a video application, a social application, and a shopping application, a notification message of application 2, "clicked", and an icon 3025A of application 2 are displayed in the notification message display area 3011.

In a possible implementation manner, whether the notification message display area 3011 displays only the notification messages sent by the applications corresponding to the application icons in the application icon navigation bar 3012 may be determined by determining whether the first control 3013 is highlighted in fig. 3D (e.g., the first control 3013 is gray to indicate that the first control is highlighted). If the first control 3013 is not highlighted, it means that the notification message display area 3011 displays only notification messages sent by applications corresponding to application icons in the application icon navigation bar 3012. When the first control 3013 is highlighted, the notification message display area 3011 displays notification messages sent by all applications.

In fig. 3B, when an input operation (e.g., clicking) on the music application icon 3012A in the application icon navigation bar 3012 is detected, the electronic apparatus 100 displays a notification message display area 3011 as shown in fig. 3E in response to the input operation. As shown in fig. 3E, only the notification message "recommend new song, relax mood" of the music application is displayed in the notification message display region 3011, and the music application icon 3021A, no more notification messages of other applications are displayed. At this time, music application icon 3022A may be highlighted (e.g., music application icon 3012A is changed in color to gray). When the electronic apparatus 100 again monitors the one-click operation with respect to the music application icon 3021A, the electronic apparatus may display a user interface as shown in fig. 3B. At this time, the music app icon 3022A may cancel the highlight display (e.g., the color of the music app icon 3012A is changed to white).

In some embodiments, the user may effect the removal or replacement of an application icon within the application icon navigation bar by manipulating an application icon in the application icon navigation bar.

Illustratively, as shown in fig. 3G, upon detecting an input operation (e.g., long press) with respect to the music application icon 3012A in the application icon navigation bar 3012, the electronic apparatus 100 displays a setting frame 3014 in response to the operation. A removal control 3014A and a replacement control 3014B are included in the settings box 3014.

When the electronic apparatus 100 detects an input operation (e.g., a single click) for the removal control 3014A, in response to the operation, the electronic apparatus 100 removes the music app icon from the app icon navigation bar 3012. For example, as shown in fig. 3H, in the application icon navigation bar 3012, the music application icon 3012A is no longer displayed. The notification message of the music application is no longer displayed in the notification message display region 3011.

In some embodiments, the electronic device 100 may continue to display the notification message of the music application in the notification message display area after removing the music application icon from the application icon navigation bar. For example, as shown in fig. 3I, the music application icon is removed in the application icon navigation bar 3012, and the notification message "recommend new song, relax mood" of the music application is continuously displayed in the notification message display region 3011.

In the setting box 3014 in fig. 3G described above, a replacement control 3014B is also included. When the electronic apparatus 100 detects an input operation (e.g., a single click) with respect to the replacement control 3014B, in response to the operation, the electronic apparatus 100 displays an application selection box 3015 as illustrated in fig. 3J. The application name and corresponding selection control are included in the application selection box 3015.

For example, the electronic apparatus 100 detects a single-click operation of the selection control 3015A for the application 2, and in response to this operation, the electronic apparatus 100 determines the application 2 as an application to be replaced. Then, the electronic apparatus 100 detects a single-click operation for the determination control 3015B in the application selection box 3015, and in response to this operation, the electronic apparatus replaces the music application icon 3012A in the application icon navigation bar 3012 with an icon of the application 2.

As shown in fig. 3K, in the application icon navigation bar 3012, an icon 3026A of the application 2, a video application icon 3022A, a social application icon 3023A, and a shopping application icon 3024A are displayed, and no music application icon is displayed. At this time, the notification message transmitted by the music application is no longer displayed in the notification message display region 3011, and the notification message "weather cloudy sunny" transmitted by the application 2 and the icon 3026A of the application 2 are displayed.

In some embodiments, after the electronic device 100 replaces the music application icon in the application icon navigation bar with the icon of the application 2, a notification message transmitted by the music application and a notification message of the application 2 may be displayed in the notification message display area.

As shown in fig. 3L, the music application icon is replaced with an application 2 icon 3012F in the application icon navigation bar 3012, and the notification messages "recommend new song, relax mood" and music application icon 3021A of the music application are continuously displayed in the notification message display region 3011, and the notification message "weather cloudy-sunny" of the application 2 and icon 3026A of the application 2 are displayed.

In some embodiments, adding an application icon in the application icon navigation bar can be realized by operating on the application icon in the application icon navigation bar.

As shown in fig. 3M, a music application icon 3012A, a video application icon 3012B, and a social application icon 3012C are displayed in the application icon navigation bar 3012. The notification messages "recommend new song, relax mood", "animation XX is updated to the latest album", "xiaoming: rain, attention to drive ", and music app icon 3021A, video app icon 3022A, social app icon 3023A. When the electronic apparatus 100 detects an input operation (e.g., long press) for the music application icon 3012A in the application icon navigation bar 3012, in response to the operation, the electronic apparatus 100 displays a setting frame 3014 and an add control 3016 as illustrated in fig. 3N. When the electronic apparatus 100 detects an input operation for the add control 3015, in response to the operation, the electronic apparatus 100 displays an application selection box 3017 as illustrated in fig. 3O.

As shown in fig. 3O, the application selection box 3017 includes a selection control corresponding to the application name, for example, the electronic device 100 detects a single-click operation on the selection control 3017A of the application 3, and in response to the single-click operation, the electronic device 100 determines the application 3 as an application to be added. Then, the electronic device 100 detects a single-click operation on the determination control 3017B in the application selection box 3017, and in response to this operation, the electronic device adds an icon of the application 3 in the application icon navigation bar 3012.

As shown in fig. 3P, in the application icon navigation bar 3012, a music application icon 3012B, a video application icon 3012B, a social application icon 3012C, and an icon 3012H of the application 3 are displayed. At this time, a notification message "payment success" transmitted by the application 3 and an icon 3029A of the application 3 are displayed on the notification message display region 3011.

In a possible implementation manner, the application icon may also be added into the application icon navigation bar 3012 in fig. 3B by operating the application icon of the electronic device main interface.

As shown in fig. 3Q, the main interface of the electronic device 100 includes a camera icon 341 and an email icon 342 in the main interface. The electronic apparatus 100 detects an input operation (e.g., long press) for the email icon 342, and in response to the operation, the electronic apparatus 100 displays the function block 3421.

As shown in fig. 3Q, an add control 3421A is included in the function box 3421. Whether an email icon 342 is added to the application icon navigation bar 3012 of fig. 3B described above may be determined by determining whether an add control 3421A is highlighted (e.g., the add control 3421A is gray, representing the add control 3421A being highlighted). As can be seen in FIG. 3Q, the add control 3421A is not currently highlighted, indicating that the email icon 342 has not been added to the application icon navigation bar 3012 in FIG. 3B, described above. When the electronic device 100 detects an input operation (e.g., a single click) with respect to the add control 3421A, in response to the operation, the electronic device 100 adds the email icon 342 into the application icon navigation bar 3012 in fig. 3B described above. At this time, the addition control 3421A is highlighted (for example, as shown in fig. 3R, the color of the addition control 3421A is gray).

Fig. 3A to fig. 3R exemplarily describe application scenarios of a message display method according to an embodiment of the present application. Next, a flow of a message display method provided in an embodiment of the present application is described with reference to fig. 4.

Referring to fig. 4, fig. 4 is a flowchart of a message display method according to an embodiment of the present application, where the specific flow is as follows:

step 401: the electronic equipment displays a first interface, wherein a notification message display bar is arranged in the first interface and comprises a notification message display area and an application icon navigation bar.

Specifically, the first interface is an interface for displaying a notification message display field.

Illustratively, the first interface may be the notification message interface 30 in the embodiment of fig. 3B, or may be the screen locking interface in the embodiment of fig. 3C. The notification message display bar includes a notification message display area and an application icon navigation bar. The notification message display area is used for displaying notification messages sent by the applications, and the notification message display area can display the notification messages sent by the plurality of applications. The application icon navigation bar comprises one or more application icons.

For example, the notification message display field may be the notification message display field 301 in fig. 3B, the notification message display region may be the notification message display region 3011 in fig. 3B, and the application icon navigation field may be the application icon navigation field 3012 in fig. 3B.

In the embodiment of the present application, a notification message sent by an application having N application icons in an application icon navigation bar is exemplified by M notification messages displayed in a notification message display area. Wherein M and N are both positive integers greater than 0.

In some embodiments, the application icon navigation bar is capable of displaying a limited number of application icons, and the application icon navigation bar displays icons for L applications when the number of application icons added to the application icon navigation bar exceeds the maximum number of icons displayed by the application icon navigation bar. L is the maximum number of application icons displayed by the application icon navigation bar. Other application icons which are not displayed currently and are added into the application icon navigation bar can be viewed by sliding the application icon navigation bar, wherein the application icons which are not displayed currently and are added into the application icon navigation bar are hidden icons. Illustratively, the hidden icon may be the icon 3012E of application 1 in the embodiment of fig. 3D described above.

For example, as shown in fig. 5A, it is assumed that there are 5 applications, applications 1 to 5, of the icons added to the application icon navigation bar 5012. The maximum number of application icons that can be displayed by the application icon navigation bar 5012 is 4, and the electronic device 100 displays the icon 5012A of the application 1, the icon 5012B of the application 2, the icon 5012C of the application 3, and the icon 5012D of the application 4 on the application icon navigation bar 5012. When the electronic device 100 detects an input operation (e.g., leftward sliding) with respect to the application icon navigation bar 5012, in response to the operation, the electronic device 100 displays the icon 5012E of the application 5 as shown in fig. 5B within the application icon navigation bar 5012 without displaying the icon 5012A of the application 1. For the application icon navigation bar in FIG. 5A, the icon of application 5 is a hidden icon.

In one possible implementation, the electronic device can preferentially display an icon of an application for which a notification message exists in the application icon navigation bar. In this way, it is advantageous for the user to determine the application that sent the notification message and then quickly locate the notification message for the target application. The electronic device may also periodically detect the time of the notification message sent by the application, and display the icons of the first L applications with the notification message time closest in the application icon navigation bar.

For example, the time of the notification message sent by application 1 is 17. Since the notification messages sent by the applications 2, 3, 4, 5 are the most recent of these 5 applications. Accordingly, the electronic device may display an icon of application 2, an icon of application 3, an icon of application 4, and an icon of application 5 in the application icon navigation bar.

In one possible implementation, the icons in the icon navigation bar may be periodically prioritized, and notification messages sent by the application are displayed in the notification message display area according to priority. For example, the notification messages sent by the application corresponding to the application with the higher priority may be displayed in an arrangement in front of the application icon, and the notification messages sent by the application corresponding to the application with the lower priority may be displayed in an arrangement in the rear of the application icon.

Step 402: and detecting a first operation aiming at a first application icon in the application icon navigation bar, and responding to the first operation, wherein the electronic equipment preferentially displays a notification message of a first application on the notification message display area, and the first application is an application corresponding to the first application icon.

Illustratively, the first operation may be an input operation for the music application icon 3012A in the above-described embodiment of fig. 3B. The first application icon is any one of the application icons in the application icon navigation bar.

Specifically, when the electronic device detects a first operation on a first application icon in the application icon navigation bar, in response to the first operation, the electronic device preferentially displays a notification message of the first application on the notification message display area. The electronic device may display the notification message transmitted by the first application only on the notification message display area. For example, in the above-described embodiment of fig. 3F, after the electronic apparatus 100 detects an input operation (e.g., a single click) to the music application icon 3012A, in response to the operation, the electronic apparatus 100 displays only a notification message "recommend new song, relax mood" sent by the music application on the notification message display area.

In a possible implementation manner, the electronic device may also display the notification message sent by the first application in a prominent position in the notification message display area, so as to facilitate the user to view the notification message. For example, as with the user interface illustrated in FIG. 5C above, a music application icon 5012A, a video application icon 5012B, a social application icon 5012C, and a shopping application icon 5012D are included in the application icon navigation bar 5012. In the notification message display area 5011, a music application icon 5021A and a notification message "recommend new song, relax mood" sent by the music application, a video application icon 5022A and a notification message "animation XXX updated to the latest album" sent by the video application are displayed, social application icons 5023A and 5024A and a notification message "mingming" sent by the social application are displayed: when it rains, the driver notices 'and' xiaoli: please return to the seat as soon as possible ". The notification message sent by the shopping application is not displayed in fig. 5C due to the limitation of the area size of the notification message display area 5011. Upon detecting an input operation (e.g., a single click) with respect to the shopping application icon 5012D, the electronic device 100 may display a user interface as shown in fig. 5D. As shown in fig. 5D, a shopping application icon 5025A and a notification message "new on new clothes" sent by the shopping application are displayed in the notification message display area 5011. In this way, the user can intuitively browse the notification message transmitted by the shopping application on the notification message display area 5011.

Optionally, when the electronic device detects the second operation, the electronic device may add a second application icon into the application icon navigation bar in response to the second operation. The second operation may include a first input operation and a second input operation. For example, the first input operation may be an input operation (e.g., long press) for the email icon 342 in the fig. 3Q embodiment, the second input operation may be an input operation (e.g., single press) for the add control 3421A in the fig. 3Q embodiment, and the second application icon may be the email icon 342 in the fig. 3Q embodiment.

In one possible implementation, the application icon may be added to the application icon navigation bar by operating on the application icon navigation bar. For example, the first input operation may be an input operation (e.g., long press) for the music application icon 3012A in fig. 3M, and the second input operation may be an input operation (e.g., single click) for the add control 3015, the select control 3017A in the application selection box 3017, and the determine control 3017B in fig. 3M-3O, and the second application icon is an icon of the application 3.

Optionally, when the electronic device detects a third operation on a third application icon in the application icon navigation bar, the electronic device may remove the third application icon from the application icon navigation bar in response to the third operation. The third application icon is any one application icon in the application icon navigation bar. The third operation may include a third input operation and a fourth input operation.

For example, the third input operation may be an input operation (e.g., long press) on the music application icon 3012A in the embodiment of fig. 3G, and the fourth input operation may be an input operation (e.g., single press) on the removal control 3014A in the embodiment of fig. 3G.

After the electronic device removes the third application icon from the application icon navigation bar, the notification message sent by the application corresponding to the third application icon may not be displayed in the notification message display area.

Illustratively, as shown in the embodiment in fig. 3H above, after the electronic device 100 removes the music application icon from the application icon navigation bar 3012, the electronic device does not display the notification message sent by the music application in the notification message display area 3011.

Or, after removing the third application icon from the application icon navigation bar, the electronic device may continue to display the notification message sent by the application corresponding to the third application icon in the notification message display area.

Illustratively, as shown in the embodiment in fig. 3I above, after the electronic device 100 removes the music application icon from the application icon navigation bar 3012, the notification message "recommend new song, relax mood" for the music application still continues to be displayed in the notification message display area 3011.

Alternatively, when the electronic device detects a fourth operation for the fourth application icon, the electronic device may replace the fourth application icon with the fifth application icon in response to the fourth operation. The fourth application icon is any application icon in the application icon navigation bar, and the fifth application icon is any application icon in the electronic equipment, which is not in the application icon navigation bar. The fourth operation may include a fifth input operation, a sixth input operation, and a seventh input operation.

For example, the fifth input operation may be an input operation (e.g., long press) on the music application icon 3012A in the embodiment of fig. 3G, and the sixth input operation may be an input operation (e.g., single press) on the replacement control 3014B in the embodiment of fig. 3G. The seventh input operation may be the input operations (e.g., clicking) on the selection control 3015A and the determination control 3015B in the above-described embodiment of fig. 3J, the fourth application icon may be the music application icon 3012A in the above-described embodiment of fig. 3G, and the fifth application icon may be an icon of the application 2 in the above-described embodiment of fig. 3J.

After replacing the fourth application icon in the application icon navigation bar with the fifth application icon, the electronic device may not display the notification message of the application of the fourth application icon in the notification message display area, and in the case that the fifth application icon has the notification message, may display the notification message sent by the application of the fifth application icon in the notification message display area.

Illustratively, as shown in the embodiment of fig. 3K above, after replacing the music application icon 3012A in the application icon navigation bar 3012 with the icon 3012F of the application 2, the electronic device displays the notification message of the music application in the notification message display area 3011, and displays the notification message "weather cloudy-sunny" of the application 2 and the icon 3026A of the application 2.

Alternatively, after replacing the fourth application icon with the fifth application icon, the electronic device may continue to display the notification message sent by the application of the fourth application icon in the notification message display area, and in the case where the fifth application icon has the notification message, the notification message sent by the application of the fifth application icon may be displayed in the notification message display area.

Illustratively, as shown in fig. 3L described above, the music application icon is replaced with an application 2 icon 3012F in the application icon navigation bar 3012, and the notification message "recommend new song, relax mood" and music application icon 3021A for the music application are continuously displayed in the notification message display region 3011, and the notification message "weather cloudy-sunny" for application 2 and icon 3026A for application 2 are displayed.

Optionally, a first control is further included in the application icon navigation bar, and in a case that a notification message sent by the first type of application is displayed in the notification message display area, an eighth input operation for the first control is responded; and displaying the notification messages sent by all the applications in the notification message display area.

Responding to an eighth input operation aiming at the first control under the condition that the notification messages sent by all the applications are displayed in the notification message display area; displaying a notification message sent by a first type of application in a notification message display area; and the first type of application is the application corresponding to the application icon of the application icon navigation bar.

Illustratively, the first control may be the first control 3013 in the embodiment of fig. 3D described above.

According to the embodiment of the application, the notification message display column of the electronic equipment is divided into two parts: a notification message display area and an application icon navigation bar. When the notification message of the application is displayed in the notification message display area, if the electronic equipment detects an input operation aiming at a target icon in the application icon navigation bar and the application corresponding to the target icon has the sent notification message in the notification message display area, responding to the operation, the electronic equipment only displays the notification message of the application corresponding to the target icon in the notification message area and does not display the notification messages of other applications. By the method, when the notification messages of the plurality of applications exist in the notification message display bar, a user can quickly locate the notification message of the target application through the electronic equipment, so that the time for searching the notification message of the target application is saved, and the use experience of the user is improved.

The above-mentioned embodiment of fig. 4 describes a flow of a message display method provided in the embodiment of the present application. Next, with reference to the accompanying drawings, an interaction flow of functional modules of the electronic device in the foregoing embodiment of fig. 4 is exemplarily described. The electronic equipment comprises a context awareness module, a desktop application, a business logic processing module, a notification message display module, a notification manager and a first application. The context awareness module, the desktop application, the business logic processing module, the notification message display module and the first application are located in an application program layer in an android software framework, and the notification manager is located in the application program framework layer. Referring to fig. 6A-6B, fig. 6A and 6B are module interaction flowcharts of an exemplary message display method provided in an embodiment of the present application, where interaction flows among modules are as follows:

step 601: the service logic processing module registers and monitors the report event of the notification to the notification manager.

Specifically, after the electronic device is powered on, the service logic processing module is started. After the service processing module is started, the service processing module can register and monitor a reporting event to the traffic device, wherein the reporting event is used for indicating the notification manager to report a notification message sent by the application to the service logic processing module.

For example, the service logic processing module may send a first registration message to the notification manager, where the first registration message is used to instruct the notification manager to send the report information to the service logic processing module after receiving the report information of the notification message of the application program.

Optionally, after the service logic processing module registers to the notification manager to monitor that the notification reporting event is successful, the notification manager may send a first response message to the service logic processing module, where the first response message is used to notify the service logic processing module that the notification reporting event is successfully registered.

Next, with reference to steps 602 to 605, an interaction flow of each module in a first application scenario (an application icon is added in an application icon navigation bar) of the message display method provided in the embodiment of the present application is described.

Step 602: the context awareness module sends a first instruction message to the desktop application when detecting a first input operation for the second application icon.

Specifically, the first input operation may be an input operation for an application icon in the electronic device main interface that is not added in the application icon navigation bar.

For example, the first input operation may be an input operation (e.g., long-press) on the email icon 342 in the embodiment of fig. 3Q, the second application icon may be the email icon 342 in fig. 3R, and the main interface of the electronic device may be the user interface of the electronic device 100 shown in fig. 3Q.

Step 603: and the desktop application controls the touch screen to display a function box of the second application icon, wherein the function box comprises an adding control.

Specifically, after the desktop application receives a first instruction message sent by the first context awareness module, the desktop application may display a function frame of the second application icon on a main interface (desktop) of the electronic device, where the function frame includes an add control.

Illustratively, the function box of the second application icon may be the function box 3421 in the embodiment of fig. 3Q described above, and the addition control may be the addition control 3421A in the embodiment of fig. 3Q described above.

Step 604: and after detecting a second input operation aiming at the adding control, the context awareness module responds to the operation and sends a first application message to the business logic processing module.

For example, the second input operation may be an input operation (e.g., a single click) for the add control 3421A in the embodiment of fig. 3Q described above.

The first application message may include identification information of an application to which the second application icon corresponds.

Step 605: and the service logic processing module stores the identification information of the second application into the first notification message list, wherein the second application is the application corresponding to the second application icon.

Specifically, after receiving a first application message sent by the context awareness module, the service logic processing module stores identification information of a second application in a first notification message list. The first notification message list comprises identification information of an application corresponding to the icon added to the application icon navigation bar.

Optionally, the service logic processing module may further send a first addition message to the notification message display module, where the first display message is used to instruct the notification message display module to add the second application icon in the application icon navigation bar.

The above-mentioned steps 602-605 describe interaction flows of modules in the process of adding the application icon to the application icon navigation bar by the electronic device. Next, with reference to steps 606 to 609, an interactive flow of each module in a second application scenario (displaying a notification message in a notification message display area) of the message display method provided in the embodiment of the present application is described.

Step 606: and reporting the notification message to a notification manager by the application.

In particular, if an application in the electronic device is to send a notification message, the notification message may be sent to the notification manager first. The notification message reported by the application to the notification manager includes the identification information of the application.

Step 607: the notification manager sends a notification message of the application to the business logic processing module.

Specifically, the service logic processing module registers the monitoring notification reporting event to the notification manager after being powered on. Therefore, after the application reports the notification message to the notification manager, the notification manager sends the notification message reported by the application to the service logic processing module.

Step 608: and the service logic processing module sends a first message notification display instruction to the notification message display module.

Specifically, after receiving a notification message of an application sent by a notification manager, the service logic processing module sends a first message notification display instruction to a notification message display module. The first message notification display instruction is used for indicating the notification message display module to display the notification message sent by the application in the notification message display area, and the first message notification display instruction comprises the notification message of the application.

Optionally, before the service logic processing module sends the first message notification display instruction to the notification message display module, the first service logic processing module first determines whether the identification information of the application exists in the first notification message list. And if the first message notification display instruction does not exist, the first message notification display instruction is not sent to the notification message display module. In this way, only the notification message of the application corresponding to the icon in the application icon navigation bar can be displayed in the notification message display area. Under the condition that the number of the application notification messages is small, the user can quickly locate the message of the target application.

Step 609: and the notification message display module displays the notification message sent by the application in the notification message display area according to the first message notification display instruction.

The above steps 606 to 609 introduce the interaction flow of each module in the process that the electronic device displays the notification message in the notification message display area. Next, with reference to steps 610 to 614, an interactive flow of each module in a third application scenario (a notification message of a target application is quickly located in a notification message display area) of the message display method provided in the embodiment of the present application is described.

Step 610: the context awareness module detects a first operation aiming at a first application icon in the application icon navigation bar, and responds to the operation, and the context awareness module sends a second instruction message to the notification message display module.

Specifically, the first application icon may be any one application icon in the application icon navigation bar, the second instruction message includes identification information of the first application, and the first application is an application corresponding to the first application icon.

Illustratively, the first operation may be an input operation for the music application icon 3012A in the above-described embodiment of fig. 3B. The first application icon is any one application icon in the application icon navigation bar.

Step 611: and the notification message display module sends a first query message to the service logic processing module.

Specifically, the notification message display module may send the first query message to the service logic processing module after receiving the second instruction message. The first query message is used for indicating the service logic processing module to query whether a notification message sent by the first application exists, and the first query message comprises the identification information of the first application.

Step 612: the business logic processing module inquires whether a notification message of the first application exists based on the first query message.

Specifically, the service logic processing module may query whether there is a notification message of the first application according to the identification information of the first application in the first query message.

Step 613: and in the case that the notification message of the first application exists, the business logic processing module sends the notification message sent by the first application to the notification message display module.

In some embodiments, if there is no notification message of the first application, the service logic processing module sends an empty message to the notification message display module, so as to prompt the notification message display module that there is no notification message of the target first application.

Step 614: the notification message display module preferentially displays the notification message sent by the first application on the notification message display area.

The above steps 610 to 614 describe the interaction flow of the modules in the process that the electronic device displays the notification message in the notification message display area. Next, with reference to steps 615 to 620, an interactive flow of each module in a fourth application scenario (removing an icon in an application icon navigation bar) of the message display method provided in the embodiment of the present application is described.

Step 615: and the context awareness module detects a third input operation aiming at a third application icon in the application icon navigation bar, responds to the operation, and sends a third instruction message to the notification message display module.

Specifically, the third instruction message includes identification information of a third application, and the third application is an application corresponding to the third application icon.

For example, the third application icon may be the music application icon 3012A in the above-described embodiment in fig. 3G, the third input operation may be an input operation (e.g., long-press) for the music application icon 3012A in the above-described embodiment in fig. 3G, and the fourth input operation may be an input operation (e.g., single-click) for the removal control 3014A in the above-described embodiment in fig. 3G.

Step 616: the notification message display module controls the touch screen to display a first setting frame of the third application icon, and the first setting frame comprises a removal control.

Specifically, after receiving the third instruction message, the notification message display module controls the touch screen to display a first setting frame of the third application icon, where the first setting frame includes a removal control.

Step 617: and after detecting a fourth input operation for the removal control, the context awareness module sends a first removal instruction to the notification message display module.

Specifically, the first removal instruction is used for instructing the notification message display module to remove the third application icon in the application icon navigation bar.

Step 618: and after detecting a fourth input operation aiming at the removal control, the context awareness module sends a second removal instruction to the business logic processing module.

Specifically, the second removal instruction is used to instruct the service logic processing module to remove the identification information of the third application in the first notification message list. It should be understood that step 617 may be performed before step 618, after step 618, or simultaneously with step 618, and this embodiment of the present application is not limited.

Step 619: the notification message display module removes the third application icon from the application icon navigation bar.

Specifically, after receiving the first removal instruction, the notification message display module removes the first application icon from the application icon navigation bar.

Step 620: and the service logic processing module removes the identification information of the third application in the first notification message list, wherein the third application is the application corresponding to the third application icon.

Specifically, after receiving the second removal instruction, the service logic processing module removes the identification information of the third application in the first notification message list.

Optionally, after receiving the second removal instruction, the service logic processing module may query whether a notification message of the third application currently exists. If so, a first display message may be sent to the notification message display module. The first display message is used for indicating the notification message display module not to display the notification message sent by the third application. And the notification message display module does not display the notification message sent by the third application on the notification message display area after receiving the first display message.

It should be understood that step 619 may be performed before step 620, after step 620, or simultaneously with step 620, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

The steps 615 to 620 described above describe interaction flows of modules in the process of removing the icon in the application icon navigation bar by the electronic device. Next, the interactive flow of each module in the fifth application scenario (replacing the icon in the application icon navigation bar) of the message display method provided in the embodiment of the present application is described with reference to steps 621 to 628.

Step 621: and the context awareness module detects a fifth input operation aiming at a fourth application icon in the application icon navigation bar, responds to the operation, and sends a fourth instruction message to the notification message display module.

Specifically, the fourth instruction message includes identification information of a fourth application, and the fourth application is an application corresponding to the fourth application icon. The fourth application icon is any one application icon in the application icon navigation bar.

Illustratively, the fifth input operation may be an input operation (e.g., long press) with respect to the music application icon 3012A in the embodiment of fig. 3G described above.

Step 622: and the notification message display module controls the touch screen to display a second setting frame of the fourth application icon, wherein the second setting frame comprises a replacement control.

Specifically, after receiving the fourth instruction message, the notification message display module controls the touch screen to display a second setting frame of the fourth application icon, where the second setting frame includes the replacement control.

Step 623: and after detecting a sixth input operation for the replacement control, the context awareness module sends a first replacement instruction to the notification message display module.

Illustratively, the sixth input operation may be an input operation (e.g., a single click) with respect to the replacement control 3014B in the embodiment of fig. 3G described above.

Step 624: and the notification message display module controls the touch screen to display the application selection frame.

Specifically, after receiving the first replacement instruction, the notification message display module displays an application selection frame, where the application selection frame includes a selection control of the application.

Illustratively, the application selection window may be the application selection box 3015 in the embodiment of fig. 3G described above.

Step 625: and after detecting a seventh input operation aiming at the application selection frame, the context awareness module sends a second replacement instruction to the notification message display module.

For example, the seventh input operation may be an input operation (e.g., a single click) with respect to the selection control 3015A and the determination control 3015B in the above-described embodiment of fig. 3J, and the fourth application icon may be the music application icon 3012A in the above-described embodiment of fig. 3G.

Step 626: and after detecting a seventh input operation aiming at the application selection frame, the context awareness module sends a third replacement instruction to the business logic processing module.

It should be understood that step 625 may be executed before step 626, may be executed after step 626, and may also be executed simultaneously with step 626, which is not limited in this embodiment of the application.

Step 627: the notification message display module replaces a fourth application icon in the application icon navigation bar with a fifth application icon.

Specifically, the fifth application icon is an icon applied in the application selection box.

Illustratively, the fifth application icon may be an icon of the application 2 in the embodiment of fig. 3J described above.

Step 628: and the service logic processing module replaces the identification information of the fourth application in the first notification message list with the identification information of the fifth application.

Specifically, the fourth application is an application corresponding to the fourth application icon, and the fifth application is an application corresponding to the fifth application icon.

After the service logic processing module receives the third replacement instruction, the service logic processing module replaces the identification information of the fourth application in the first notification message list with the identification information of the fifth application.

Optionally, after receiving the third replacement instruction, the service logic processing module may query whether a notification message of the fifth application currently exists. If so, a second display message may be sent to the notification message display module. The second display message is used to instruct the notification message display module to display the notification message of the fifth application on the notification message display area. The notification message display module displays the notification message of the fifth application on the notification message display area after receiving the second display message.

Optionally, after receiving the third replacement instruction, the service logic processing module directly sends a second display message to the notification message display module, where the second display message is used to instruct the notification message display module not to display the notification message sent by the fourth application on the notification message display area.

And after receiving the second display message, the notification message display module displays the notification message of the application on the notification message display area according to the indication of the second display message.

It should be understood that step 627 may be executed before step 628, after step 628, or simultaneously with step 628, and the embodiments of the present application are not limited.

The above steps 621 to 628 describe the interaction flow of each module in the process of replacing the icon in the application icon navigation bar by the electronic device. Next, with reference to steps 629 to 633, an interaction flow of each module in a sixth application scenario of a message display method provided in this embodiment (displaying notification messages sent by all applications or displaying notification messages sent by only applications of the first type in a notification message display area) is described.

Step 630: in response to the eighth input operation, the context awareness module sends a fifth instruction message to the notification message display module.

Step 631: and the notification message display module sends a second query message to the service logic processing module.

The second query message is used for indicating the service logic processing module to query the notification message sent by the application, the second query message comprises display state identification information, and if the display state identification information is the first identification, the notification message display area only displays the notification message sent by the first type of application currently; and if the display state identification information is the second identification, showing that the notification message display area currently displays the notification messages sent by all the applications.

Step 632: and under the condition that the notification messages sent by the first type of application are displayed in the notification message display area, the business logic processing module inquires the notification messages sent by all the applications based on the second inquiry message.

Specifically, after receiving the second query message, the service logic processing module reads the display state identification information in the second query message, and if the display state identification information is read as the first identification, determines that the notification message display area currently only displays the notification message sent by the first type of application. And if the display state identification information is read to be the second identification, determining that the notification message display area only displays the notification messages sent by all the applications currently.
