Description

A method for displaying and viewing notifications in the notification bar of a mobile terminal

technical field

The invention relates to the field of mobile terminals, in particular to a method for displaying and viewing notifications in a notification column of a mobile terminal.

Background technique

The Android smart phone application systems on the market all follow the unified basic content, and are basically consistent in the display and processing of the content of the system notification bar, especially the display of notifications in the notification bar. Usually, the status bar of an Android system smart phone has a drop-down notification bar, which provides users with reminders of various new arrival notifications such as alarm notifications, new SMS arrival notifications, email notifications, and convenient access for viewing. However, Android smartphones only support the pull-down gesture viewing and processing of part of the notifications, and the notifications occupy a certain amount of display space by category. When a single notification has too much content, it is often displayed with an ellipsis. To view the entire content of a single notification, you need to click the corresponding notification jump Go to app to view. This kind of notification has no gesture processing function, and the display of notifications with more content is incomplete. The situation of users single-clicking, entering to view, and clicking and re-processing largely results in frequent, single, and time-consuming operations. Such an operation makes the interaction steps between the user and the smart phone too many and time-consuming, and does not effectively play the role of the notification bar notification to notify the user of specific information.

In addition, Android smartphones handle the installation of application notifications in the form of downloading or Bluetooth transmission in the notification bar basically the same way. Notification reminder, but the prompt dialog box cannot determine how much space the application needs to install, or how much space is currently available on the body and external storage of the phone; at the same time, the application notification in the notification bar disappears after the installation fails. Re-installation requires the user to free up a certain amount of space and find the location of the notification before installing. If the space is still insufficient, enter the process of freeing up space, finding the notification and re-installing again. The installation and processing of this kind of notification requires the user to repeat multiple operations to achieve the purpose of installation and processing, and it is impossible to know the space status of the mobile phone in real time during the operation, and the space is released blindly, which is time-consuming and greatly reduces the intelligence and humanization of the mobile phone. bad.

Contents of the invention

In view of the above problems in the prior art, the purpose of the present invention is to improve the display and viewing methods of notifications in the notification bar, provide users with a brand-new and convenient method of viewing notifications, and enhance the intelligence and convenience of mobile phones. In addition, for the space state prompt notification, the present invention also provides a new notification prompt flow and notification content display method, which is convenient for users to know in time the size of the installation space they need and whether the current application can be installed.

In order to achieve the above object, the technical solution of the present invention is to provide a method for displaying and viewing notifications in the notification bar of a mobile terminal. Display this gesture on the notification bar to view the entire content of the notification;

When the mobile terminal receives the second gesture operation performed on the gesture viewing notification displaying all content, it restores the gesture viewing notification to a default state.

Optionally, by default, all notifications in the notification bar are displayed sequentially in a view at the default display height;

The first gesture operation is an enlargement gesture that makes the gesture view notification scroll to the top of the view and displays its entire content;

The second gesture operation is a zoom-out gesture that compresses the gesture view notification to a default display height and restores to a default display order in the view.

Optionally, record the offset of the default display position of the gesture viewing notification from the top of the view in the default state;

After processing through the first gesture operation, if it is judged that the offset is greater than 0, the view is scrolled up according to the value of the offset to make the gesture view notification top;

After the second gesture operation is processed, the view is moved down according to the value of the offset to restore the gesture view notification to the default display position.

Optionally, all common notifications and special notifications in the mobile terminal are defined as gesture viewing notifications;

The special notification in the default state in the notification bar supports gesture operations to pin the special notification to the top and display more content, and also supports gesture operations to restore the default display;

The default notification in the notification bar displays the title and content in a single line, and ends with an ellipsis if there is too much content. It supports the operation of clicking the normal notification to enter the corresponding application to view more content. , and also supports the operation of expanding the notification to view the entire content with gestures.

Optionally, the mobile terminal displays any one or a combination of the following types of information through a space status prompt notification, including: space required for installing applications, currently available space, whether the current space status supports application installation Prompts, prompt information on the processing method of the application to be installed, and information on the application to be installed;

The prompt information for the processing method of the application to be installed includes: the prompt information for installing the application displayed when the current space state is sufficient to support the application installation and the corresponding first click button, or when the current space state is insufficient to support the application installation The displayed prompt information for managing applications and freeing up space and the corresponding second click button; the prompt information for processing the application to be installed also includes the prompt information for deleting the application and the corresponding third click button.

Optionally, the space state prompt notification is a gesture viewing notification that supports viewing all content in the notification bar through the first gesture operation and restoring to the default state through the second gesture operation.

Optionally, according to the feedback information of the listener set in the mobile terminal on the space usage status, corresponding content is displayed in the prompt notification of the space state;

The listener returns a first value corresponding to the space required for installing the application, a second value corresponding to the currently available space, and a Boolean value corresponding to whether the current space state supports application installation;

The Boolean value includes: when the first value is smaller than the second value, the listener returns a true value, so that in the space state prompt notification, a prompt, a prompt message, and a first click button that the current space state is sufficient to support application installation are displayed ;as well as,

When the first value is greater than or equal to the second value, the listener returns a value of false, so that in the space state prompt notification, it displays a prompt that the current space state is not enough to support application installation, a prompt message, and a second click button.

Optionally, when the mobile terminal successfully downloads or receives the application and there is not enough space for the first installation of the application, the space status notification at least displays the space required for installing the application, the current available space, a prompt that is not enough to support the application installation, and a prompt Information and second click button.

Optionally, after the mobile terminal receives the processing operation of clicking the second click button to release space, an updated space status notification is displayed in the notification bar: when the space status after releasing the space is still insufficient, the space status prompt notification At least display the prompts, prompts, and second click button that the current space status is not enough to support application installation; and when the space status is sufficient after releasing the space, at least display the prompts and prompts that the current space status is sufficient to support application installation and first click the button.

Compared with the prior art, the method for displaying and viewing the notification of the notification bar of the mobile terminal according to the present invention has the advantages of:

The invention standardizes the unified display appearance of notifications in the notification bar, so that they all have the processing function of gesture operations; realize the display of complete notification content through zoom-in gestures, and at the same time, the currently operated notifications are automatically scrolled to the top; and support zoom-out gestures to restore notifications before zoom-in gestures A function to display status. The method for displaying and processing the notification enables the user to directly view and process specific notifications in the notification bar.

The present invention also provides a new installation process and a new content display about notifications such as download applications and bluetooth transmission applications; for the notification flow of insufficient installation space, a real-time listener for the space usage status is added, and the content of the notification is added. For the display of the current space situation, it is necessary to add a new space status prompt notification according to the real-time monitor of the space usage status in the process of space release processing. The new space notification carries the detailed information of the application that failed due to insufficient installation space recently, and provides Give users the option to click to install directly, click to continue to free up space, or click to delete the application; it is convenient for users to know the size of the installation space in real time and quickly process the application.

Therefore, the present invention can effectively improve the user's notification processing efficiency, improve the intelligence and humanization of the smart phone, and enrich the experience effect of the user.

Detailed ways

The present invention provides a new way of displaying and processing all notifications in the notification bar. In the Android system, notifications are divided into two parts: one is general notifications, which include notification logo icons, notification titles, and single-line notification content; the second is special notifications, which include specific notification content and With processing options. For the above-mentioned special notifications, such as notifications such as missed calls, screenshots, emails, etc., the Android system supports gesture operation processing for them.

In the present invention, a default notification display standard needs to be regulated first, so that all notifications (common notifications and special notifications) support gesture operations. Since the Android system itself supports gesture operations on some notifications in the notification bar, it is only necessary to standardize the unified standard of the notification bar and extend the processing that supports gesture operations to all notifications.

By default, all notifications in the notification bar have their own default display heights (cause some notifications with more content cannot be fully displayed); moreover, all notifications are displayed in a view in a certain order, as shown in Figure 1 As shown on the left side of , swiping up and down to view each notification is an operation on the view. The special notification in the default state in the notification bar supports the slide gesture operation to view more content, that is, the default display position of the special notification is used as the reference point to expand the display downward. If the extended display operation reaches the bottom of the screen When the content is still not fully displayed, other content will automatically transition to the next screen. The title and content of the normal notification in the default state in the notification bar are displayed in a single line, and if the content is too much, it ends with an ellipsis. You need to click on the normal notification to enter the corresponding application to view the content.

Referring to the right side of Figure 1, assuming that the user needs to view the entire content of the "third notification", the third notification is called a gesture viewing notification, and the gesture operation is basically the same when the notification is a special notification or a general notification. In the present invention, the first gesture operation is used for a certain gesture viewing notification that was originally in the default state, so that the notification is automatically scrolled to the top and its entire content is displayed. For example, the first gesture operation may be a zoom-in gesture to automatically move the gesture view notification to the top of the view of the notification bar and expand the notification to display its entire content.

In order to achieve this, record the offset distance from the screen position where the gesture viewing notification is located to the top of the view (temporarily record its offset as y); when the zoom-in gesture operation is completed, the size of the offset y is recorded Judgment: If the offset y is greater than 0, the entire view will automatically scroll up according to the value of the offset y until the gesture viewing notification is on top; if the offset y is equal to 0, it means that the notification itself is located at the top of the view. ordinal position. So far, through the zoom-in gesture operation, the entire content of the gesture viewing notification is displayed, and the notification is placed on top.

Then, by using the second gesture operation on the gesture view notification in the full content display and pinned state, the notification can be restored to the default state before the first gesture operation is performed. For example, the second gesture operation is a zoom-out gesture. After the gesture viewing notification content is compressed to the default display height, the view is still moved down according to the offset y before the zoom-in gesture, and the view is restored to the left side in Figure 1. displayed status.

For other notifications other than the gesture view notification (for convenience of description, temporarily called the third notification), including the notifications that were originally listed before the third notification in the view (such as the first and second notifications, etc.), and the notifications that were originally in the view Median notifications listed after the third notification (e.g. fourth, fifth notification, etc.). In some examples, after performing the zoom-in gesture operation on the top of the third notification and displaying the entire content, the fourth and fifth notifications also move up due to the upward movement of the view position, while the first and second notifications are scrolled upward to hide ( Keep native design using component ScrollerView functionality), etc.

In addition, as some application examples, the first gesture operation is not limited to the zoom-in gesture described above, but can be any gesture operation that can directly display the entire content of a certain gesture view notification on the notification bar. And gesture viewing notifications can also use any other display method that directly displays all content in the notification bar, and is not limited to the above-mentioned display method of scrolling to the top; for example, directly popping up an interface that displays all content, or using Gesture viewing notifications move to the bottom of the view, or to a previously set position on the screen or view, and so on.

The present invention also provides a method for improving the display and viewing of the space state prompt notification in the notification bar. As shown in Figure 4, the display frame of the notification of the space status calls the native notification display framework of the Android system, and there are notification icons and notification text content; and the specific content of the notification is mainly adjusted: in the notification of the space status, First, there are three prompts: one is the size of the space required to install the application; the other is the size of the current available space; the third is whether the current space status can be installed. The space state prompt notification also includes relevant information about the application to be installed currently (such as its icon, storage path, size attribute, etc.), as well as prompt information for the processing method of the application. Among the prompt information of the processing method, one is a button set corresponding to the third point in the notification content prompt: if the current space size is sufficient for application installation, it will be automatically displayed as a click button that can directly install the application after clicking; if If the current space is insufficient, it will display the management application and click the button to free up space for installing new applications. The other is the click button to delete the application, so that the user can delete the application in time and quickly when the user does not need to keep it, saving space.

In order to generate the above-mentioned space status prompt notification, it is first necessary to add a listener for the space usage status, which is set at the judgment place where the original installation space is insufficient. There are 3 methods set for the listener; method 1 returns the value of the space required for installation; method 2 returns the value of the current available space; method 3 returns a boolean value indicating whether the space required for installation is smaller than the current available space (returns true Indicates that the former is less than the latter, otherwise returns false).

The return values of these three methods are directly called in the three-point prompt content of the space status prompt notification for display. According to the return value of the listener method 3, if it returns true, it will prompt that the third item in the prompt content can be installed; if it returns false, it will prompt that the installation cannot be performed in the third item of the prompt content. In addition, according to the return value of the listener method 3, it is determined whether to display the install click button or the management application and release space button in the notification.

The detailed information about the application to be installed in the space state prompt notification is already in the original Android system design, and the present invention focuses on calling it and displaying it in the notification content, so that users can learn more about it. The newly added application delete button in this notice can be implemented according to the design of the native Button button of the Android system, and only a delete interface needs to be created in the system for the notification to call.

Based on the present invention has described a method for improving the display and viewing of all notifications in the notification bar, the space status prompt notification (as shown in Figure 4) in this example has too much content and occupies too much space on the display screen. can be effectively avoided. That is to say, the prompt notification of the space state also supports the operation process of zooming in gesture to display all the content, and zooming out gesture to restore the display in the default state.

As shown in Figure 2, when an application apk is successfully transmitted through download or Bluetooth, the corresponding installation prompt notification will be displayed in the notification bar, and you can click to enter the installation. When the installation space is insufficient for the first time, a space status prompt notification as shown in Figure 4 will pop up, which displays the space required for installation, the real-time available space of the body storage or external storage, a prompt to inform the user that the application cannot be installed, and the required Information such as the click button to free up space to install the application to remind the user of insufficient space.

As shown in part A1 in Figure 2, when the user clicks the corresponding button to manage the application and free up a certain amount of space, the system will make a real-time judgment on whether the installation space is sufficient, and send an updated space status notification in the notification bar to remind the user. Refer to Figure 3 for the process of Part A2. The content of the notification is still as shown in Figure 4. The content of the notification is divided into two situations according to the current space status: when the space meets the installation requirements, the space status notification will display a reminder that the application can be installed language and the corresponding button, the user can click the button to install the application; when the space is still insufficient, it will continue to display the prompt that the application cannot be installed and the button that needs to release the space in the space status notification, and then enter A1 in Figure 2 part of the processing flow. Others such as application information, hints about space size, delete button, etc. can be displayed in both cases.

To sum up, the present invention is aimed at the notification bar of a mobile terminal (for example, a smart phone with an Android system): firstly, it provides a way to improve the display and processing of all notifications, and supports the user to use a gesture operation on the notification in the notification bar ( Zoom in gesture) to make it automatically scroll to the top and display all the content directly, no longer need to click into the application to view the processing; at the same time, it supports another gesture operation (zoom out gesture) to restore the notification to the default display state, so the view of the notification The display is faster and more user-friendly.

Secondly, the present invention also provides an improved notification prompt process and notification content display method when the installation space is insufficient, and a listener is set to obtain real-time space usage. When the first installation space is insufficient, the user will be prompted in the notification to install the required space And the current space status. After the user releases the space, the user will be notified again about the space usage status and feedback whether it can be installed. At the same time, the bottom of the notification will automatically carry the application that failed to install due to insufficient installation space, and provide it to the user. The choice of installing or deleting applications effectively avoids frequent and time-consuming operations caused by repeated installations due to unclear installation requirements. The notification of the status of the prompt space also supports gesture operations to avoid the problem of too much content and taking up too much display space. The invention is convenient for the user to perform clear and efficient processing on the notification, and enriches the experience effect of the user.

Although the content of the present invention has been described in detail through the above preferred embodiments, it should be understood that the above description should not be considered as limiting the present invention. Various modifications and alterations to the present invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art upon reading the above disclosure. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention should be defined by the appended claims.
