Abstract

Embodiments of this application provide a notification processing method and an electronic device. The method includes: displaying a lock screen on a touchscreen, receiving a new notification; determining whether the notification is a specified notification, where the specified notification is a notification bound to a second area on the lock screen; and if the notification is a specified notification, displaying the notification in the second area on the lock screen; or if the notification is not a specified notification, displaying the notification in a first area on the lock screen, where the first area and the second area are two different display areas on the lock screen. According to the technical solutions provided in the embodiments of this application, efficiency of an electronic device is improved, user operations are reduced, and user experience is improved.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An electronic device, comprising:
a touchscreen comprising a first area and a second area;
a processor coupled to the touchscreen; and
a memory coupled to the processor and configured to store instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the electronic device to:
set a binding relationship between a first notification and a specified contact in an application, wherein the binding relationship is configured to be applied to the first notification;
display, based on the binding relationship, a lock screen on the touchscreen, wherein the lock screen comprises the first notification received from the specified contact and corresponding to the application in the first area that indicates a presence of an unread message from the specified contact, a fingerprint unlock icon in the second area, and a first user instruction in the second area, and wherein the first user instruction indicates to a user to verify a fingerprint of the user in the second area to unlock the touchscreen;
detect, in accordance with the first user instruction, a slide gesture on the lock screen, wherein the slide gesture starts from the first area and goes to the second area, and wherein the slide gesture comprises a first touch position in the first area and a second touch position in the second area;
display a second user instruction and not display the first user instruction in the second area in response to detecting the first touch position of the slide gesture, wherein the second user instruction indicates that the user can drag the first notification to the second area to unlock the touchscreen and view details of the first notification;
gather the fingerprint of the user in response to detecting the second touch position of the slide gesture in the second area;
verify the fingerprint of the user by comparing the fingerprint with a prestored valid fingerprint; and
unlock the touchscreen and display a graphical user interface of the application corresponding to the first notification on the touchscreen when the fingerprint of the user is verified successfully.

2. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the instructions further cause the electronic device to prominently display the first notification in the first area in response to detecting the first touch position of the slide gesture.

3. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the instructions further cause the electronic device to display the first notification in the second area in response to detecting the second touch position.

4. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the first area and the second area are different areas of the lock screen.

5. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the touchscreen comprises a fingerprint recognizer configured to gather the fingerprint of the user.

6. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the touchscreen further comprises a third area, wherein the lock screen further comprises a second notification corresponding to a second application in the third area, and wherein the instructions further cause the electronic device to unlock the touchscreen and display a second graphical user interface of the second application corresponding to the second notification on the touchscreen.

7. A computer program product comprising instructions stored on a non-transitory computer-readable medium that, when executed by a processor, cause an electronic device to:
set a binding relationship between a first notification and a specified contact in an application, wherein the binding relationship is configured to be applied to the first notification;
display, based on the binding relationship, a lock screen on a touchscreen, wherein the lock screen comprises the first notification received from the specified contact and corresponding to the application in a first area that indicates a presence of an unread message from the specified contact, a fingerprint unlock icon in a second area, and a first user instruction in the second area, and wherein the first user instruction indicates to a user to verify a fingerprint of the user in the second area to unlock the touchscreen;
detect, in accordance with the first user instruction, a slide gesture on the lock screen, wherein the slide gesture starts from the first area and goes to the second area, and wherein the slide gesture comprises a first touch position in the first area and a second touch position in the second area;
display a second user instruction and not display the first user instruction in the second area in response to detecting the first touch position of the slide gesture, wherein the second user instruction indicates that the user can drag the first notification to the second area to unlock the touchscreen and view details of the first notification;
gather the fingerprint of the user in response to detecting the second touch position of the slide gesture in the second area;
verify the fingerprint of the user by comparing the fingerprint with a prestored valid fingerprint; and
unlock the touchscreen and display a graphical user interface of the application corresponding to the first notification on the touchscreen when the fingerprint of the user is verified successfully.

8. The computer program product of claim 7 , wherein the instructions further cause the electronic device to prominently display the first notification in the first area in response to detecting the first touch position of the slide gesture.

9. The computer program product of claim 7 , wherein the instructions further cause the electronic device to display the first notification in the second area in response to detecting the second touch position.

10. The computer program product of claim 7 , wherein the first area and the second area are different areas of the lock screen.

11. The computer program product of claim 7 , wherein the touchscreen comprises a fingerprint recognizer configured to gather the fingerprint of the user.

12. The computer program product of claim 7 , wherein the touchscreen further comprises a third area, wherein the lock screen further comprises a second notification corresponding to a second application in the third area, and wherein the instructions further cause the electronic device to unlock the touchscreen and display a second graphical user interface of the second application corresponding to the second notification on the touchscreen.

13. A method implemented by an electronic device, comprising:
setting a binding relationship between a first notification and a specified contact in an application, wherein the binding relationship is configured to be applied to the first notification;
displaying, based on the binding relationship, a lock screen on a touchscreen, wherein the lock screen comprises the first notification received from the specified contact and corresponding to the application in a first area that indicates a presence of an unread message from the specified contact, a fingerprint unlock icon in a second area, and a first user instruction in the second area, and wherein the first user instruction indicates to a user to verify a fingerprint of the user in the second area to unlock the touchscreen;
detecting, in accordance with the first user instruction, a slide gesture on the lock screen, wherein the slide gesture starts from the first area and goes to the second area, and wherein the slide gesture comprises a first touch position in the first area and a second touch position in the second area;
displaying a second user instruction and not display the first user instruction in the second area in response to detecting the first touch position of the slide gesture, wherein the second use
