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. It is explicitly and implicitly understood by one skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.

Before describing the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application, the following will first introduce related concepts, device groups, software and hardware structures of electronic devices, and the like, which may be related to the present application.

The message notification method provided by the embodiment of the application can be applied to the equipment group. The electronic devices in the device group can communicate with each other through a wireless network or a wired network. In addition, in the embodiments of the present application, a scenario of a device group may also be referred to as a multi-device scenario. In the multi-device scenario, the same user can perform human-computer interaction with multiple devices.

Specifically, the wireless network may include a mobile cellular network (e.g., a fifth generation 5G mobile communication network), a satellite communication network, an internet of things, a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN), a Wide Area Network (WAN), Bluetooth (BT), wireless fidelity (Wi-Fi), Zigbee (Zigbee), Near Field Communication (NFC), Ultra Wide Band (UWB), visible light communication (LiFi), infrared technology (IR), and the like; the wired network may be a network constructed by data lines such as a High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) data line and a Universal Serial Bus (USB) data line.

For example, each electronic device in the device group may be connected to the same WLAN network through a relay device (e.g., a router).

Specifically, the electronic device according to the embodiment of the present application may be a handheld device, a vehicle-mounted device, a wearable device, an Augmented Reality (AR) device, a Virtual Reality (VR) device, a projection device, a projector, or other devices connected to a wireless modem, or may be various User Equipments (UEs), terminal devices (terminal devices), mobile phones, smart phones (smart phones), smart screens, smart tvs, smart watches, notebook computers, smart refrigerators, smart air conditioners, smart sounds, cameras, game pads, microphones, stations (stations, STAs), Access Points (APs), Mobile Stations (MSs), Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs), personal computers (personal computers, PCs), or relay devices.

For example, please refer to fig. 1. The device group 110 includes a cell phone 1101, a smart television 1102, a notebook 1103, a smart watch 1104, and the like. Meanwhile, each electronic device in the device group 110 is communicatively connected to each other through a wireless network or a wired network.

Further, each electronic device in the device group may be a device under the same user account. For example, when a user logs in a mobile phone, a desktop computer, a smart screen, a notebook computer, a relay device and a smart watch using the same user account, the device group includes the mobile phone, the desktop computer, the smart screen, the notebook computer, the relay device and the smart watch, and the mobile phone, the desktop computer, the smart screen, the notebook computer, the relay device and the smart watch can communicate with each other through a wireless network.

Further, each electronic device in the device group may be associated with user identification information of the same user. The user identification information may include at least one of physiological characteristic information (such as hand shape, fingerprint, voiceprint, iris, face, and the like), and user account information (such as a user account number, and the like). That is, each electronic device in the device group may be a device under the same user account. For example, a user logs in each electronic device in the registered device using the same user account; the user has unlocked or authenticated each electronic device in the registered device using voice/face/fingerprint/gesture, etc.

Further, each electronic device in the device group may be connected to the same WLAN network through a relay device (e.g., a router). For example, when a user accesses a mobile phone, a desktop computer, a smart screen, a notebook computer and a smart watch to a Wi-Fi network provided by a relay device, the at least two electronic devices 110 include the mobile phone, the desktop computer, the smart screen, the notebook computer, the relay device and the smart watch, and the mobile phone, the desktop computer, the smart screen, the notebook computer, the relay device and the smart watch form a WLAN network, so that the devices in the WLAN network can communicate with each other through the relay device.

Further, each electronic device in the device group may form a Peer-to-Peer (P2P) network through a wireless communication manner (e.g., bluetooth, Zigbee, NFC, UWB, etc.). For example, a user forms a P2P network by scanning NFC tags with devices such as a mobile phone, a notebook computer, and a smart watch, and all devices in the P2P network may communicate with each other.

Further, the electronic devices in the device group may store device identification information of each other. The device identification information may include a Media Access Control (MAC) address, an Internet Protocol (IP) address, a Serial Number (SN), and the like. Therefore, a certain electronic device in the device group can cooperatively operate the other electronic device through the device identification information of the other electronic device stored in the electronic device group (for example, cooperatively operate the other electronic device to notify the message to be notified of the electronic device), so that the cooperative operation capability among multiple devices is realized.

Further, the device group may include a source device. It should be noted that each electronic device in the device group may be installed with an application or manager (e.g., a message manager or a notification manager) for generating a message, and the application or manager may generate a message to be notified (or reminded) when a set event is met (e.g., a control command for message generation issued by the server). When an electronic device in the device group acquires a message to be notified, the electronic device may be referred to as a source device. For example, when the mobile phone receives a control command of a short message sent by the server, the operating system in the mobile phone responds to the control command to generate the short message to be notified. If the user sets the silent notification for the short message notification function of the mobile phone, the mobile phone executes the notification of the short message in a silent notification mode.

Further, the device group may include a target device, which may include one or more electronic devices in the device group for performing notification of the message. It will be appreciated that the target device may comprise the source device described above.

The internal memory 2901 may store a kernel layer 320, a system runtime layer 340, an application framework layer 360, and an application layer 380. The layers communicate with each other through a software interface, and the kernel layer 320, the system runtime layer 340 and the application framework layer 360 belong to an operating system space.

Specifically, the application layer 380 belongs to a user space, and at least one application program (or simply "application") runs in the application layer 380, and the application program may be a native application program carried by an operating system itself or a third-party application program developed by a third-party developer. For example, the application layer 380 may include applications for cameras, galleries, calendars, conversations, maps, navigation, WLAN, Bluetooth, music, messaging, video, and short messages.

It should be noted that the application framework layer 360 provides various Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) and programming frameworks that may be used by the application programs that build the application layer, so that developers can build their own application programs by using these APIs. For example, a window manager (window manager), a content provider (content providers), a view system (view system), a telephone manager (telephone manager), a resource manager, a notification manager (notification manager), a message manager, an activity manager (activity manager), a package manager (package manager), a location manager (location manager), and an NFC service, etc.

In particular, the content provider may be used to store and retrieve data and make the data accessible to applications. The data may include, among other things, video, images, audio, calls made and answered, browsing history and bookmarks, phone books, and the like. In addition, the content provider may enable an application to access data of another application, such as a contacts database, or to share their own data.

In particular, the view system includes visual controls. For example, controls for displaying text, controls for displaying pictures, and the like. The view system may be used to build applications. The display interface may be composed of one or more views. For example, the display interface including the short message notification icon may include a view for displaying text and a view for displaying pictures.

In particular, the phone manager is used to provide communication functions for the electronic device. For example, management of call status (e.g., on, off, etc.).

In particular, the resource manager may provide various resources for the application. Such as localized strings, icons, pictures, layout files, video files, etc.

Specifically, the notification manager enables the application to display notification messages and the like in the status bar, can be used to convey the message type of the notification messages, and can disappear automatically after a short dwell, without user interaction. For example, a notification manager is used to inform about download completion, message alerts, message notifications, and the like. The notification manager may also be a notification that appears in the form of a chart or scroll bar text at the top status bar of the system. Additionally, the notification of the application running in the background may also be a notification that appears on the screen in the form of a dialog window. For example, text messages are prompted in the status bar, a prompt tone is sounded, the electronic device vibrates, indicator lights flash, and the like.

Specifically, the message manager may be configured to store data of messages reported by each application program, and process the data reported by each application program.

In particular, the campaign manager may be used to manage application lifecycle and provide common navigation fallback functionality. In one possible example, the message manager may be part of the notification manager.

It should be noted that the system runtime library layer 340 provides a main feature support for the Android system through some C/C + + libraries. For example, the SQLite library provides support for a database, the OpenGL/ES library provides support for 3D drawing, the Webkit library provides support for a browser kernel, and the like. Also provided in the system Runtime layer 340 is an Android Runtime library (Android Runtime), which mainly provides some core libraries capable of allowing developers to write Android applications using the Java language.

Specifically, the kernel layer 320 may provide underlying drivers for various hardware of the electronic device, such as a display driver, an audio driver, a camera driver, a bluetooth driver, a Wi-Fi driver, a power management, an NFC driver, a UWB driver, and the like.

In addition, human-computer interaction is an important way for communication between a user and a device, and message notification is a passive human-computer interaction, i.e., an electronic device actively reminds the user to attract the attention of the user to perform interaction. However, it is very important how to effectively perform the message notification. However, when a user owns a plurality of electronic devices at the same time, the user may not view a message delivered to a certain electronic device in time. Therefore, how to perform message notification among multiple devices still needs further research.

In conjunction with the above description, the steps performed by the message notification method will be described below from the perspective of a method example, please refer to fig. 4. Fig. 4 is a flowchart illustrating a message notification method according to an embodiment of the present application, where the method includes:

s410, the source device obtains a first message to be notified and/or first indication information.

Wherein the source device may be one electronic device in the device group.

Wherein the first indication information may be used to indicate whether the electronic devices in the device group are suitable for performing the collaborative notification of the first message.

It should be noted that, as can be seen from the above description, first, each electronic device in the device group may be associated with the user identification information of the same user. The user identification information may include at least one of physiological characteristic information (such as hand shape, fingerprint, voiceprint, iris, face, and the like), and user account information (such as a user account number, and the like).

Second, the electronic devices in the device group may store device identification information of each other. The device identification information may include a MAC address, an IP address, a SN, and the like. Therefore, the source device in the device group can cooperatively operate the other electronic devices through the device identification information of the other electronic devices stored therein (for example, cooperatively operate the other electronic devices to notify the first message to be notified to implement notification of the first message), thereby implementing cooperative operation capability among multiple devices.

Finally, each electronic device in the device group may be installed with an application or manager (e.g., a message manager or a notification manager) for generating a message, and the application or manager may generate a message to be notified (or reminded) when a set condition is met (e.g., a server issues a control command for message generation, etc.). When an electronic device in the device group acquires a message to be notified, the electronic device may be referred to as a source device.

Specifically, the first indication information may include at least one of device service status indication information and device execution status indication information.

Further, the device service state indication information may be used to indicate whether the current device service state of the source device is suitable for performing the notification of the first message.

It should be noted that, first, the current device service state may be used to indicate the current device state (also referred to as current usage state) of the source device, the currently executed service function, and the like. For example, the current device state is a power-on state, a power-off state, a screen-off state (or screen-off state), a screen-locking state, a screen-lighting state, the amount of remaining power, a vibration mode, a mute mode, and the like; the currently executed service function is that video playing or music playing or the like is currently being executed. The service function may refer to at least one predetermined action operation that the electronic device may perform by calling an internal application program or instruction. For example, when the electronic device is a smart phone, the smart phone may perform video playing, music playing, phone dialing, e-mail receiving and sending, weather information receiving, multimedia information displaying, game screen manipulation, photo shooting, screen projection, and the like by calling an internal application program or instruction.

Secondly, the service function executed at present is taken as one of the judgment conditions of the message notification between the devices, so that the situation that the use experience of the user is influenced by the message notification can be effectively avoided. For example, when the source device is a cell phone, the user is watching a video, playing a game, reading text, etc. through the cell phone, and thus it is not desirable that the notification of the message affect the viewing experience.

Finally, the device service state indication information can be determined by the current device service state of the source device, so that the device service state indication information is obtained through the current device service state of the source device, and the device service state is used as one of judgment conditions for message notification among devices. For example, if the current device service state is a mute state, a screen is off, a remaining power is low, a video is being played, etc., the current device service state of the source device is not suitable for performing the notification of the first message. The device service status indication information is described as an example.

Illustratively, the device service status indication information x satisfies:

wherein x ═ 1 indicates that the current device service state of the source device is appropriate for performing the notification of the first message; x-0 indicates that the current device service state of the source device is not suitable for performing the notification of the first message.

Further, the device execution status indication information may be used to indicate whether other electronic devices in the device group than the source device are suitable for executing the notification of the first message.

It should be noted that, when a user owns multiple electronic devices at the same time, that is, the multiple electronic devices form the device group according to the embodiment of the present application, the user may not timely view a message issued for a certain electronic device. Therefore, the embodiment of the application considers that the device execution state indication information is introduced to serve as one of the judgment conditions for message notification among the devices, and the device execution state execution information is used for judging whether other electronic devices except the source device are suitable for cooperatively notifying the first message, so that the first message is notified through as many devices as possible, and the situation that a user cannot timely view the first message is avoided.

Second, the device execution state indication information may be determined by user attention information, associated device information of the source device, and the like. Wherein the user attention information may be used to indicate whether the user attention is on other electronic devices than the source device. The associated device information of the source device may be used to indicate that the source device is an associated other electronic device (by whether a communication connection is established with each other or whether respective device identification information is stored). For example, when the source device is a mobile phone, the user may connect the mobile phone to a smart watch (or a smart headset) through bluetooth matching (i.e., establish an association). Therefore, the user can view the message notification and the like on the mobile phone through the smart watch.

Finally, the embodiment of the application can judge whether the attention of the user is on the electronic equipment through a recognition-oriented algorithm, an eyeball recognition algorithm, a face recognition algorithm and the like so as to acquire the attention information of the user. For example, if the user faces the electronic device a (or the user looks at the electronic device a, the face of the user faces the electronic device), the electronic device a may capture an image frame through a camera and analyze the image frame using a face-oriented recognition algorithm (or an eyeball recognition algorithm, a face recognition algorithm) to determine that the user is attentive to the electronic device a.

S420, the source device determines a target device for executing the notification of the first message from the device group according to the important notification degree and/or the first indication information of the first message.

Wherein the target device may include at least one electronic device of the device group for performing the notification of the first message. It is understood that the target device may include the source device and may also include other electronic devices in the device group other than the source device.

It should be noted that, when a user owns multiple electronic devices at the same time, that is, the multiple electronic devices form the device group according to the embodiment of the present application, the user may not timely view a message issued for a certain electronic device. Therefore, the embodiment of the present application considers that the target device is determined from the device group according to the important notification degree and/or the first indication information of the first message. The target device may include at least one electronic device in the device group for executing the notification of the first message, which is beneficial to implementing the notification of the first message assisted (or cooperatively) by other electronic devices in the device group except the source device, so as to avoid that the user fails to view the first message in time, thereby implementing the message cooperative notification among the devices, improving the cooperative processing capability among the devices, ensuring the personalized message notification of the user, and improving the use experience of the user.

Specifically, before S420, the method may further include the following steps: a degree of importance notification of the first message is determined.

It should be noted that the importance notification degree of the first message may be used to indicate the importance level (or priority level) of the first message that needs to be notified. That is, if the important notification degree of a message is higher (the importance level or priority level is higher), i.e., the message is more important to the user, the user needs to immediately (or timely) process or view the message; if the message is of a lower notification importance (lower importance level or priority level), i.e. the message is not very important to the user, the user may not need to immediately process or view the message. Therefore, the important notification degree of the first message is used as one of judgment conditions of message notification among devices, so that the situation that a user cannot check the first message in time is avoided, personalized message notification of the user is realized, and the use experience of the user is improved.

In addition, the degree of importance notification of the first message may be represented by a numerical value. For example, if the value is (60,100), it indicates that the importance level (or priority level) to be notified of the first message is "high" and the larger the value is, the higher the importance level (or priority level) is, and if the value is (0, 60), it indicates that the importance level to be notified of the first message is "low" and the smaller the value is, the lower the importance level (or priority level) is.

Wherein the important notification degree of the first message can be determined by at least one of the following modes: the message type of the first message, the message content of the first message, a specific keyword in the first message, and the application type to which the first message belongs.

It should be noted that, first, the important notification degree of the first message may be determined by the message type of the first message. The important notification degree of the first message can be determined from a preset mapping table according to the message type of the first message, where the first preset mapping table is used to indicate a mapping relationship between the message type and the important notification degree (or the above-mentioned value). The first preset mapping table may be a system preset or a user dynamic setting. For example, the message type of the first message may include a transaction-type message, a payment-type message, a trip-type message, a short-message-type message, a password-authentication-type message, a notification-type message of a general application, and the like is very important to the user (i.e., the important notification degree is high).

Second, the importance of the first message may be informed by the message content of the first message. In the embodiment of the present application, the important notification degree of the first message may be determined from a second preset mapping table according to a keyword in a message content of the first message, where the second preset mapping table is used to indicate a mapping relationship between the keyword and the important notification degree (or the above numerical value).

Again, the degree of importance notification of the first message may be determined by the type of application to which the first message belongs. The important notification degree of the first message can be determined according to the application type of the first message. Since the application type to which the first message belongs may reflect the message type of the first message, the above-mentioned scheme of "message type of first message" may be applied. For example, if the message content or the message is from a news-class application, i.e. the application to which the message belongs is a news-class application, the message type of the message is a news-class message.

Finally, the important notification degree of the first message can be determined by at least one of the message type of the first message, the message content of the first message, and the application type to which the first message belongs, so that joint determination is ensured in multiple ways to ensure that the determined important notification degree of the first message is more accurate.

Therefore, the important notification degree of the first message can be determined in different modes, so that the diversity of the scheme is ensured, and the accuracy is improved.

Specifically, determining a target device for performing notification of the first message from the device group according to the important notification degree and/or the first indication information of the first message may include: determining a target device for performing notification of the first message from the device group according to the important notification degree of the first message and the first indication information (i.e., the subsequent "case one"); or, determining the target device from the device group according to the first indication information (i.e. the subsequent "case two" and "case three"); alternatively, the target device is determined from the device group based on the importance of the first message (i.e., the subsequent "case four").

It is understood that the embodiments of the present application may adopt various technical solutions to determine the target device for performing the notification of the first message. The following is a detailed description.

The first situation is as follows:

in one possible example, determining a target device for performing notification of the first message from the device group according to the important notification degree and/or the first indication information of the first message may include: determining a comparison result of the important notification degree of the first message and a preset threshold value; and determining the target equipment from the equipment group according to the comparison result and the first indication information.

The comparison result may be one of the important notification degree of the first message being greater than a preset threshold and the important notification degree of the first message being less than or equal to the preset threshold.

It should be noted that, in case one, the embodiment of the present application considers that the importance level (or priority level) of the first message to be notified is divided into two levels, i.e., "important" and "unimportant" by comparing the importance notification degree of the first message with the preset threshold (such as "60" described above). If the important notification degree of the first message is greater than the preset threshold value, it is indicated that the important notification degree of the first message is 'important', namely the first message is important for the user; if the important notification degree of the first message is less than or equal to the preset threshold value, the important notification degree of the first message is 'unimportant', that is, the first message is not very important for the user. Then, the target device is determined from the device group based on the ranking result ("important" or "unimportant") indicated by the comparison result and the first indication information. The target device comprises at least one electronic device used for executing the notification of the first message in the device group, so that the notification of the first message is facilitated to be assisted (or cooperated) by other electronic devices except the source device in the device group through the important notification degree and the first indication information of the first message, the situation that a user cannot check the first message in time is avoided, the message cooperative notification among the devices is further realized, the cooperative processing capability among the devices is improved, the personalized message notification of the user is ensured, and the use experience of the user is improved.

Sub-case 1:

specifically, determining the target device from the device group according to the comparison result and the first indication information may include the following steps: if the comparison result is that the important notification degree of the first message is larger than a preset threshold value, acquiring equipment service state indication information in the first indication information; and determining the target equipment from the equipment group according to the equipment service state indication information.

It should be noted that, if the comparison result shows that the important notification degree of the first message is greater than the preset threshold, it indicates that the important notification degree of the first message is "important", that is, the first message is important for the user. Thus, users desire to be able to process or view important messages immediately (or in a timely manner). In order to ensure that a user can immediately (or timely) process or view important messages and avoid failing to process or view the first message in time, the embodiment of the application introduces the device service state indication information in the first indication information.

In addition, as can be known from the above description of the "device service state indication information", the device service state indication information may be used to indicate whether the current device service state of the source device is suitable for executing the notification of the first message, so that it is determined, through the device service state indication information, that one or more appropriate electronic devices in the device group (i.e., multiple appropriate devices are made as possible) cooperate to notify the first message, thereby implementing message cooperation notification among devices, improving cooperation processing capability among devices, ensuring personalized message notification for a user, and improving user experience.

Further, determining the target device from the device group according to the device service status indication information may include the following steps: if the equipment service state indication information indicates that the current equipment service state of the source equipment is not suitable for executing the notification of the first message, acquiring equipment execution state indication information in the first indication information; determining target equipment from the equipment group according to the equipment execution state indication information; or, if the device service state indication information indicates that the current device service state of the source device is suitable for executing the notification of the first message, the source device is taken as the target device.

It can be understood that, in the embodiment of the present application, it is considered that whether the source device is suitable for executing the notification of the first message is determined first, and then whether other electronic devices except the source device are suitable for executing the notification of the first message is determined, so that the message notification between the devices is implemented through two determinations. If the source device is suitable for executing the notification of the first message, the source device directly executes the notification without judging whether other electronic devices are suitable, so that the cooperative processing efficiency of the message notification among the devices is improved.

Further, determining the target device from the device group according to the device execution status indication information may include: if the device execution state indication information indicates that the first electronic device except the source device in the device group is suitable for executing the notification of the first message, taking the first electronic device as a target device; or, if the device execution state indication information indicates that all electronic devices in the device group except the source device are not suitable for the notification of the first message, the source device is taken as the target device.

It can be understood that, in the embodiment of the present application, it is considered to determine whether other electronic devices except the source device are suitable for executing the notification of the first message, so that the message collaborative notification between the devices is realized through the determination process.

Sub-case 2:

specifically, determining the target device from the device group according to the comparison result and the first indication information may include the following steps: if the comparison result is that the important notification degree of the first message is greater than the preset threshold value, acquiring equipment execution state indication information in the first indication information; and determining the target equipment from the equipment group according to the equipment execution state indication information.

It should be noted that, in order to ensure that a user can immediately (or timely) process or view an important message and avoid failing to timely process or view the first message, the device execution state indication information in the first indication information is introduced in the embodiment of the present application. In combination with the above description, it can be known that the device execution state indication information may be used to indicate whether other electronic devices in the device group except the source device are suitable for executing the notification of the first message, that is, whether other electronic devices are needed to assist in performing the notification of the first message, so that one or more suitable electronic devices in the device group (that is, a plurality of suitable devices are made as possible) are determined to cooperatively notify the first message through the device execution state indication information, thereby implementing message cooperative notification among devices, improving cooperative processing capability among devices, ensuring personalized message notification of a user, and improving user experience.

Sub-case 3:

specifically, determining the target device from the device group according to the comparison result and the first indication information may include the following steps: and if the comparison result is that the important notification degree of the first message is less than or equal to a preset threshold value, taking the source device as the target device.

It should be noted that, if the important notification degree of the first message is less than or equal to the preset threshold, it indicates that the important notification degree of the first message is "unimportant", that is, the first message is not very important for the user. Therefore, the user may not need to immediately (or timely) process or view important messages, and thus the notification of the first message is directly performed by the source device without judging whether the source device or other electronic devices are suitable, and thus the efficiency of cooperative processing of message notifications among devices is improved.

Case two:

in one possible example, determining a target device for performing notification of the first message from the device group according to the important notification degree and/or the first indication information of the first message may include: acquiring equipment service state indicating information in the first indicating information, wherein the equipment service state indicating information is used for indicating whether the current equipment service state of the source equipment is suitable for executing the notification of the first message; and determining the target equipment from the equipment group according to the equipment service state indication information.

It should be noted that, unlike the above-mentioned "scenario one", the "scenario two" does not need to consider the important notification degree of the first message, but directly determines one or more electronic devices in the device group (i.e., multiple devices that are suitable as much as possible) according to the device service status indication information to cooperatively notify the first message, thereby implementing message cooperative notification among the devices, improving the cooperative processing capability among the devices, ensuring personalized message notification of the user, and improving the user experience of the user.

Further, determining the target device from the device group according to the device service status indication information may include the following steps: if the device service state indication information indicates that the current device service state of the source device is not suitable for executing the notification of the first message, acquiring device execution state indication information in the first indication information; determining target equipment from the equipment group according to the equipment execution state indication information; or, if the device service state indication information indicates that the current device service state of the source device is suitable for executing the notification of the first message, the source device is taken as the target device.

It can be understood that, in the embodiment of the present application, it is considered that whether the source device is suitable for executing the notification of the first message is determined first, and then it is determined whether other electronic devices except the source device are suitable for executing the cooperative notification of the first message, so that the message cooperative notification between the devices is implemented through two determinations. If the source device is suitable for executing the notification of the first message, the source device directly executes the notification without judging whether other electronic devices are suitable, so that the cooperative processing efficiency of the message notification among the devices is improved.

Further, determining the target device from the device group according to the device execution status indication information may include: if the device execution state indication information indicates that first electronic devices except the source device in the device group are suitable for executing the notification of the first message, taking the first electronic devices as target devices; or, if the device execution state indication information indicates that all electronic devices in the device group except the source device are not suitable for the notification of the first message, the source device is taken as the target device.

Case three:

in one possible example, determining a target device for performing notification of the first message from the device group according to the important notification degree and/or the first indication information of the first message may include: acquiring device execution state indication information in the first indication information, wherein the device execution state indication information can be used for indicating whether other electronic devices in the device group except the source device are suitable for executing the notification of the first message; and determining the target equipment from the equipment group according to the equipment execution state indication information.

It should be noted that, unlike the above-mentioned "case one," case three "does not need to consider the important notification degree of the first message, but directly determines one or more electronic devices in the device group according to the device execution state indication information (i.e., multiple devices that are suitable as much as possible) to cooperatively notify the first message, thereby implementing message cooperative notification among the devices, improving the cooperative processing capability among the devices, ensuring personalized message notification of the user, and improving the user experience of the user.

It can be understood that, in the embodiment of the present application, it is considered to determine whether other electronic devices except the source device are suitable for executing the cooperative notification of the first message, so that the message cooperative notification between the devices is realized through the determination process.

Case four:

in one possible example, determining a target device for performing notification of the first message from the device group according to the important notification degree and/or the first indication information of the first message may include: and if the important notification degree of the first message is less than or equal to a preset threshold value, taking the source device as the target device.

In combination with the above descriptions of "case one", "case two", "case three", and case four ", the embodiments of the present application mainly achieve the following objectives: for unimportant messages or messages with low priority levels, the method mainly only performs message notification by the source device, and reduces the influence of the message notification on the user experience; for important messages or messages with high priority levels, not only the source device is considered to execute message notification, but also other electronic devices except the source device are considered to execute message cooperative notification, so that the problem that a user cannot immediately (or timely) process (or view) the message notification is avoided; for the source device is not suitable for executing the message notification, it needs to be considered that other electronic devices except the source device execute the message notification, so as to avoid that the user cannot immediately (or timely) process (or view) the message notification; for the source device to be adapted to perform the message notification, the message notification performed by the source device is mainly considered, and the message notification may also be performed by other electronic devices besides the source device.

S430, the source device controls the target device to perform the notification of the first message.

Specifically, before S430, the method further includes: and the source equipment determines the notification type mode of the first message according to the important notification degree and/or the first indication information of the first message.

It is to be understood that the notification type manner of the first message may be determined by the important notification degree of the first message and/or the first indication information.

The notification type mode can comprise negative one-screen display notification, banner notification, status bar notification, screen locking notification, vibration notification, ring notification, popup notification, display notification and silence notification.

It should be noted that, first, in the embodiment of the present application, a notification type manner of the first message may be determined according to an important notification degree of the first message. If the important notification degree of the first message is "important", a notification type manner that can attract the attention of the user more (for example, pop-up notification of the first message, vibration notification of the first message, ring notification of the first message, etc.) can be selected; if the notification level of importance of the first message is "unimportant," a notification type manner that does not affect the user (e.g., silent notification of the first message, status bar notification of the first message, banner notification of the first message, etc.) may be selected.

Secondly, the notification type mode of the first message can be determined according to the first indication information. If the device service state indication information in the first indication information indicates that the current device service state of the source device is suitable for executing the notification of the first message, a notification type mode which does not affect the user (such as silent notification of the first message, status bar notification of the first message, banner notification of the first message, and the like) can be selected. This is because, although the source device is suitable for execution, there is a possibility that the source device is currently executing video playback or music playback, etc., and a notification type manner that does not affect the user can be selected.

Finally, the notification type mode of the first message can be determined according to the important notification degree of the first message and the first indication information.

Further, controlling the target device to perform the notification of the first message may include: the control target device performs notification of the first message in a notification type manner.

Consistent with the above embodiments, the following embodiments of the present application further provide a message notification method, please refer to fig. 5.

S501, the source device obtains a first message to be notified and first indication information.

Wherein the source device may be one electronic device in the device group.

The source device receives a first message to be notified and triggers the source device to perform cooperative notification operation of the first message. For example, a mobile phone receives a short message, and the general procedure is to receive the message content of the short message and then notify the short message to a user in a popup mode through a corresponding application.

Wherein the first indication information may be used to indicate whether the electronic devices in the device group are suitable for executing the notification of the first message.

S502, the source device determines the important notification degree of the first message.

The importance notification degree of the first message is determined, and the importance notification degree is mainly used for judging the importance level (or priority level) of the first message, and the importance level and the priority level can be divided into "high" and "low". It should be noted that, in one aspect, the present application determines the important notification degree of the first message according to the message content. For example, the priority level of the transaction type message, the trip type message, etc. is "high", and the priority level of the notification type message of the general application is "low". On the other hand, the priority level of the messages defined by the user can be determined, for example, the priority level of the short message of a certain contact and the message containing a certain keyword is high. In addition, the user can also adjust the preset priority level scheme according to the requirement.

S503, the source device judges the importance level of the first message according to the importance notification degree of the first message.

If the importance notification degree of the first message is greater than the preset threshold, the importance level of the first message is "high", and S505 is executed; if the importance notification degree of the first message is less than or equal to the preset threshold, the importance level of the first message is "low", and S504 is performed.

S504, the source device judges whether the source device is suitable for executing the notification of the first message according to the first indication information.

If yes, executing S507; if no, S506 is executed.

And S505, the source equipment executes the notification of the first message.

S506, the source device determines that the user attention of the user is on the first electronic device according to the first indication information.

How to judge the attention of the user is a simple way to judge whether the electronic equipment is in a screen turning state. If the mobile terminal is in the screen turning-off state, the attention of the user is not paid to the electronic equipment; otherwise, the user is attentive to the electronic device. In addition, more complex algorithms, such as recognition-oriented techniques, eyeball recognition techniques, and the like, can be used to determine whether the user's attention is on the electronic device.

S507, the source device executes the notification of the first message.

S508, the source device judges whether the first electronic device is suitable for executing the notification of the first message according to the first indication information.

If yes, executing S510; if it is determined to be "no", S509 is executed.

S509, the source device performs notification of the first message.

S510, the source device controls the first electronic device to perform the notification of the first message.

It should be noted that, the description of each embodiment in the present application has a respective emphasis, and therefore, a part that is not described in detail in the embodiment illustrated in fig. 5 may refer to the description related to the embodiment illustrated in fig. 4, and is not described again.

In conjunction with the above description, the following embodiments of the present application will exemplarily illustrate a device group including a smart phone, a smart watch, a smart speaker, and a smart phone.

For example, referring to fig. 6, the device group includes a smart phone 6101, a smart watch 6102, a smart speaker 6103, and a smart tv 6104. Wherein, the smart phone 6101 receives a message to be notified. The smart phone 6101 determines that the important notification level of the message is "unimportant" (low importance level or low priority level) based on the message content of the message, or the message coming from a news-like application (i.e., news-like message). If the smartphone 6101 is adapted to perform notification of a message (although the user's 620 attention is on the smartphone 6101, the user 620 is facing the smartphone 6101, or the user 620 is using the smartphone 6101 to watch a video, etc., the user 620 sets that it can perform notification), the smartphone 6101 can perform notification of the message in a background notification bar without employing a popup-type notification (i.e., a silent notification to not affect video viewing). If the smart phone 6101 is suitable for executing message notification, since the smart phone 6101 is associated with the smart watch 6102 (i.e., is associated with the user identification information of the user 620 or is connected with each other by communication), and the user sets up that the smart watch 6102 can execute the message notification function (i.e., the smart watch 6102 is suitable for executing notification of the message), so that the smart watch 6102 notifies the user 620 of the message by vibration. In the scene, the aim of the interaction mode between the user and the equipment is to avoid interrupting the user to watch the video by the message notification as much as possible.

For example, referring to fig. 7, the device group includes a smart phone 7101, a smart watch 7102, a smart speaker 7103, and a smart tv 7104. The smart phone 7101 receives a message to be notified. Since the message is a message of a bank card transaction, the smart phone 7101 determines that the important notification degree of the message is "important" (the importance level is high or the priority level is high) according to the message type or the message content of the message. At this point, since the smartphone 7101 is in a video playing service, and the message is an important message. If the smart phone 7101 is suitable for performing the message notification function (although the user of the user 720 is attentive to the smart phone 7101, the user 720 is facing the smart phone 7101, or the user 720 is watching a video using the smart phone 7101, etc., the user 720 sets that notification can be performed), the smart phone 7101 notifies the user 720 of the message by a ringing method. At the same time, the smartphone 7101 may also control the smart watch 7102 to notify the user 720 of the message in a vibratory manner. If the smart phone 7101 is not suitable for performing the message notification function, the smart phone 7101 needs to control the smart watch 7102 to notify the user 720 of the message in a vibration manner.

Illustratively, referring to fig. 8, the set of devices includes a smart phone 8101, a smart watch 8102, a smart speaker 8103, and a smart television 8104. Wherein, the smart phone 8101 receives a message to be notified. Since the message is a message for password authentication, the mobile phone 8101 determines that the important notification degree of the message is "important" (the importance level is high or the priority level is high) according to the message content or the message type of the message. At this time, since the smart phone 8101 is in the off-screen state (i.e., the user of the user 820 is not attentive to the smart phone 8101 or the user 820 is not using the smart phone 8101), it is necessary to determine whether the smart watch 8102, the smart speaker 8103, and the smart tv 8104 in the device group are suitable for executing the notification of the message (i.e., determine whether the user of the user 820 is attentive to the electronic devices). For example, the determination may be made by whether a service (video playback, etc.) is being performed on the electronic devices or by using techniques such as face orientation. Since the smart tv 8104 is playing video, the smart phone 8101 determines that the user's attention of the user 820 may be on the smart tv 8104, and thus the message is being notified on the smart phone 8101 and on the smart tv 8104.
