Rather, these embodiments are provided for more thorough understanding of the present disclosure and to fully convey the scope of the present disclosure to those skilled in the art.

In order to solve the problem that the unprocessed message notification of the existing server to the user is one-time, and the user may miss the processing of the new message when the user does not find the reminder, resulting in a low user experience, the present invention provides a The method and device for sending a notification will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the drawings and embodiments of the present invention. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described here are only used to explain the present invention, not to limit the present invention.

An embodiment of the present invention provides a method for sending a notification, the process of which is shown in Figure 1, including steps S102 to S106:

S102. When the inactive device receives the item to be processed, it searches the server for device association information of the inactive device.

S104. Determine other devices associated with the inactive device according to the device association information;

S106, find the activation device in other devices, and send a notification message in a predetermined format to the activation device when the item to be processed is received.

During implementation, an inactive device may be defined as a device not currently used by the user, and an activated device may be defined as a device currently being used by the user.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the devices are associated, and the currently unused inactive device sends a notification message in a predetermined format to the active device in use, and the active device can know that the inactive device has pending matters to be processed according to the received notification message , by sending notifications from non-activated devices to activated devices, this method can directly synchronize messages between different devices without sending them through the server, and can remind users to deal with them in a timely manner, which solves the problem that the existing server has for users. The processing of message notifications is one-time. If the user does not find the reminder, the processing of new messages may be missed, resulting in a problem of low user experience.

Both the non-activated device and the activated device in the embodiment of the present invention are devices that support RCS. During implementation, the non-activated device needs to find the activated device among other devices, and then send a notification message in a predetermined format to the To activate the device, the process is as follows:

First, obtain the usage status of other devices under the same login account of the non-activated device. If a mobile phone is used, it is determined that the activated device under the same login account is a mobile phone; obtain the address identification code of the activated device, and if it is a mobile phone, you can obtain its IMEI code; and then receive the pending items according to the address identification code A notification message in a predetermined format is sent to the activated device. In this embodiment, the address identification code only needs to belong to the GRUU, such as IMEI or UUID. From the above description, it can be seen that the usage status of the device is to determine whether the device is in use, and the device may be a different device that has logged into the same login account, or it may be a related device with different login accounts. For example, the aforementioned laptop computer, tablet computer and mobile phone are all logged in with the same account. Although the tablet computer and notebook computer are both on and logged in with the account, but the last device touched by the user is the mobile phone, the use of the tablet computer and notebook computer is determined. The status is not in use, and the usage status of the phone is in use.

Set the same account as the first login account. If the same account is logged in on the laptop, tablet, and mobile phone at the same time, but none of the three devices is in use, you can obtain the information of the second login account based on the device association information. For the usage of all devices, further confirm whether there is an activated device under the second login account. The first login account and the second login account in this embodiment may be different login accounts, for example, they may be two email accounts, or two phone card numbers. If the login account is two email accounts, the email account is used to log in to the device, which is equivalent to a user name, and is not used to log in to the email to receive emails; if the login account is two phone card numbers, the phone card number is used to log in to the device. Also equivalent to username.

If there is no activated device, you can continue to judge whether there are other accounts that can send notification messages through the device association information; if there is a device in use under the second login account, determine that the device in use is the activation corresponding to the second login account device, and obtain the address identification code of the activated device; the non-activated device of the same login account sends a notification message in a predetermined format to the activation device corresponding to the second login account according to the address identification code.

After finding the activation device among other devices, and sending a notification message in a predetermined format to the activation device when the pending item is received, the activation device parses the notification message in a special format, and presents the parsed notification message to the user, in order to Remind the user to deal with the pending items, which can be presented in a variety of ways, for example, displayed on the screen in the form of a short message, or reminded in the form of a voice broadcast, or a ringtone reminder.

The embodiment of the present invention also provides a device for sending notifications, the structure of which is shown in Figure 2, including:

The search module 10 is used for the inactive device to search for the device association information of the inactive device on the server when receiving the item to be processed; the determination module 20 is coupled with the search module 10 for determining the device association information with the inactive device according to the device association information Other associated devices; the sending module 30, coupled with the determination module 20, is used to find the activation device in other devices, and send a notification message in a predetermined format to the activation device when the pending item is received; the non-activation device and the activation device All devices support RCS.

FIG. 3 shows a schematic structural diagram of the above-mentioned sending module 30, which includes: a determination unit 301, configured to obtain the usage status of other devices under the same login account of the inactive device, so as to determine whether there is an activated device under the same login account; The unit 302 is coupled with the determining unit 301 and the sending unit 303, and is used to obtain the address identification code of the activated device when there is an activated device under the same login account; the sending unit 303 is used to receive the pending address according to the address identification code The status of the event is sent to the activated device in a notification message in a predetermined format.

The schematic structure of the sending module 30 can also be shown in FIG. 4 , including: a second acquiring unit 304, coupled with the determining unit 301 and the sending unit 303, used to associate the device with the same login account if there is no activated device. The information acquires the usage status of the device under the second login account, and according to the usage status, it is determined that the device being used is the activation device corresponding to the second login account, and the address identification code of the activation device is obtained, wherein the same login account is the first login account. The login account; sending unit 303 is also used for the non-activated device of the same login account to send a notification message in a predetermined format to the activation device corresponding to the second login account according to the address identification code.

The device for sending notifications provided above in the embodiment of the present invention can be integrated in the smart terminal device as a part of the smart terminal.

preferred embodiment

The preferred embodiment of the present invention provides a point-to-point notification method, that is, a method in which one terminal sends a notification to another terminal. The notification message can be carried out between different accounts of the user and different devices, and the unprocessed notification message of the user adopts a special format. to send to notify the user that they can view the processing in a timely manner.

Because RCS supports multi-device login, no matter it is a PC, tablet or mobile phone, it can connect to the RCS server through the RCS client, quickly use various services provided by the operator, and greatly enhance the user's adhesion, so it is widely accepted by operators. support. The RCS protocol also describes in detail the support of multiple devices with different services, and the embodiment of the present invention is an RCS-based message notification method between multiple devices. Different from the existing message notification mechanism, this embodiment utilizes RCS to send notification messages between different login devices of the same user through a point-to-point communication method, and directly synchronizes message notifications of user unprocessed items between different devices.

According to the RCS protocol, GRUU (Globally Routable User agent URI) is used as the unique address identification code of the RCS client. Of course, it can also be IMEI or UUID, which provides the possibility for communication between different devices.

The activation device in this embodiment is a device selected by the user to receive relevant notifications first among different login devices. Such a device may be the one that the user is currently using or is most likely to use. Various devices can be used according to actual needs. Not to activate the device, but there can only be one activated device under the unified account at the same time.

The technical solutions of the above-mentioned embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and corresponding scenarios.

(1) Synchronization of notifications logged on two devices with the same account As shown in Figure 5, user A is in the Online state, and user C is in the Online state on the mobile phone, which includes steps S501 to S504.

S501. User A makes a call and sends a message to the RCS AS.

S502. The RCS AS transfers the call and information to user C.

S503, since user C is not on the PC side, it is impossible to know the events of user A calling and sending messages, then user C's PC side determines that user A's mobile phone is an activated device according to the association relationship, and then sends a notification message in a special format to the mobile phone .

S504, user C parses the notification message in the special format, and displays it.

In the above process, since the user C is in the Online state when logging in on the mobile phone, it is determined that the mobile phone is an activated device, and a notification message is sent to the mobile phone.

In the above process, if there is still a user B, and user B also sends emails and short messages to user C's PC, then user C's PC can simultaneously send the information of user A and B to user C's mobile phone .

When user C is online on the mobile phone, he can set automatic synchronization, and personal information, including missed calls and unread messages/emails, will be synchronized, and corresponding notifications will be displayed. At the same time, the user can flexibly choose to synchronize personal information, and even choose to synchronize calendar events, notes, or notifications from third-party applications. Among them, the method of synchronizing personal information can be: sending an Instant Message or 1-2-1 chat in a special format from the PC of user C to the mobile phone of user C, and the special format can use different message formats according to the actual application scenario , user C performs corresponding parsing according to the given message format to obtain the message that needs to be notified.

If the same account is logged in on three devices, that is, user C logs in on multiple devices at the same time, but only one device is being used by the user, then it is determined that the device in use is the active device. If the notifications sent by user A and user B to the inactive device of user C are not processed in time, the inactive device sends a message notification in a special format to the active device to remind user C again. Of course, there may be more inactive devices, and one of the inactive devices may be selected to send to the active device according to the network quality, while the other inactive devices may not send, so as to avoid repeating redundant notifications.

When implementing, if the same account has been logged in on three devices, when the user has a new device and needs to log in with this account, after the new device logs in, the new device will be automatically set as the active device. Of course, the user can also manually Choose the most convenient device setting as the active device.

(2) The notification synchronization between devices logged in by different accounts is shown in Figure 6. In the figure, account 1 corresponds to three devices logged in, but none of them are used and is in an inactive state. Account 2 corresponds to three devices logged in. But only the phone is online. If any device of account 1 receives the new pending item at this time, it can find account 2 through the association relationship and determine which device of account 2 activates the device. For example, the PC corresponding to account 1 in Figure 6 When a new email is received, it can be sent to the mobile phone that Account 2 is using.

Regardless of the scenario, the notification synchronization method between multiple devices is carried out in a point-to-point manner. Whether in the same account or in different accounts, the activated device will receive notifications from other non-activated devices. When a new device is logged into the account, the device is activated to send a notification to the new device, so that the user can be notified in time to view it, and the delay of important information can be avoided.

To process notification messages, the final notification form can be diversified and personalized. According to different application requirements and settings, a dialog box can display text notifications, for example, a prompt box pops up on the screen to prompt the user, or, it can also be It is voice notification, such as personalized ringtone or dialect broadcast, etc. At the same time, intermittent notification can also be set for some special contacts.

The method for sending notification messages between point-to-point multi-device proposed by the embodiment of the present invention can directly synchronize the notifications between different devices of the user, and proposes different notification schemes for different scenarios, which can meet the needs in real life and improve the message quality. Timeliness of notification.

Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications to the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Thus, if these modifications and variations of the present invention fall within the scope of the claims of the present invention and equivalent technologies thereof, the present invention also intends to include these modifications and variations.
