Abstract

Embodiments of the present invention relate to the field of communications technologies, and provide a message processing method and apparatus, to resolve a prior-art problem that intelligence of a notification message processing method is relatively low. In the embodiments of the present invention, an importance level of each application is determined based on a historical use feature of each application, and then a notification manner of a notification message of each application is determined based on the importance level of each application, so that when a notification message is received, the notification message is displayed in the notification manner corresponding to the application to which the notification message belongs. Solutions provided in the embodiments of the present invention are suitable for use during notification message processing.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An electronic device, comprising:
a processor; and
a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program to be executed by the processor, the program including instructions to:
determine an importance level of each application based on a historical use feature of each application on the electronic device, wherein the importance level includes a first level and a second level;
determine a notification manner of a notification message of each application based on the importance level of each application; and
receive a first notification message of a first application, and display the first notification message in a first notification manner of the first notification message, wherein the first notification message corresponding to the first level is displayed in a notification bar; and
receive a second notification message of a second application, and display the second notification message in a second notification manner of the second notification message, wherein the second notification message corresponds to the second level, an importance of the second level is less than an importance of the first level, and the second notification message corresponding to the second level is not displayed in the notification bar.

2. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the instructions further include instructions to display the first notification message on a lock screen interface of the electronic device based on a screen-locked state of the electronic device.

3. The electronic device of claim 1 , the historical use feature of each application comprises use habit of a user for each application.

4. The electronic device of claim 3 , wherein the historical use feature includes at least one of a use duration, a quantity of times of starting, and a quantity of application download times, and wherein the instructions to determine the importance level of each application includes instructions to:
sort, using at least one historical use feature, a plurality of applications; and
divide the plurality of applications into N first type sets in descending order of the at least one historical use feature, where N is a positive integer greater than 1, and serial numbers of the N first type sets are 1 to N.

5. A message processing method, comprising:
determining a first level of a first application based on a first historical use feature of the first application on an electronic device;
determining a first notification manner of a first notification message of the first application based on the first level of the first application;
receiving the first notification message of the first application, and displaying the first notification message in the first notification manner;
determining a second level of a second application based on a second historical use feature of the second application on a terminal;
determining a second notification manner of a second notification message of the second application based on the second level of the second application; and
receiving the second notification message of the second application, and displaying the second notification message in the second notification manner;
wherein the first level is different from the second level, and the first notification manner is different from the second notification manner.

6. The message processing method of claim 5 , wherein the first level and the second level are levels of importance, and wherein the second level is of lower importance than the first level.

7. The message processing method of claim 6 , wherein the first notification message is displayed in front of the second notification manner.

8. The message processing method of claim 5 , wherein displaying the first notification message in the first notification manner comprises displaying the first notification message in a notification bar.

9. The message processing method of claim 8 , wherein displaying the second notification message in the second notification manner comprises not displaying the second notification message in the notification bar.

10. The message processing method of claim 5 , wherein the first notification message corresponding to the first level is displayed on a lock screen interface of the electronic device based on a screen-locked state of the electronic device.

11. The message processing method of claim 5 , the first historical use feature of the first application comprises use habit of a user for the first application.

12. The message processing method of claim 11 , wherein the first historical use feature and the second historical use feature each include at least one of a use duration, a quantity of times of starting, and a quantity of application download times, and wherein determining the first level of the first application based on the first historical use feature and determining the second level of the second application based on the second historical use feature includes instructions for:
sorting, using at least one historical use feature, a plurality of applications; and
dividing the plurality of applications into N first type sets in descending order of the at least one historical use feature, where N is a positive integer greater than 1, and serial numbers of the N first type sets are 1 to N.

13. An electronic device, comprising:
a processor; and
a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program to be executed by the processor, the program including instructions to:
determine a first level of a first application based on a first historical use feature of the first application on the electronic device;
determine a first notification manner of a first notification message of the first application based on the first level of the first application; and
receive the first notification message of the first application and display the first notification message in the first notification manner;
determine a second level of a second application based on a second historical use feature of the second application on a terminal;
determine a second notification manner of a second notification message of the second application based on the second level of the second application; and
receive the second notification message of the second application and display the second notification message in the second notification manner;
wherein the first level is different from the second level, and the first notification manner is different from the second notification manner.

14. The electronic device of claim 13 , wherein the first level and the second level are levels of importance, and wherein the second level is of lower importance than the first level.

15. The electronic device of claim 14 , wherein the instructions further include instructions to display the first notification message in front of the second notification message.

16. The electronic device of claim 14 , wherein the first historical use feature and the second historical use feature each include at least one of a use duration, a quantity of times of starting, and a quantity of application download times, and wherein the instruction to determine the first level of the first application based on the first historical use feature and determine the second level of the second application based on the second historical use feature includes instructions to:
sort, using at least one historical use feature, a plurality of applications; and
divide the plurality of applications into N first type sets in descending order of the at least one historical use feature, where N is a positive integer greater than 1, and serial numbers of t
