Abstract

An information notification method is disclosed in this application. The method includes: receiving notification information sent by a sending end that indicates that unprocessed information exists, and the notification information is information carrying a vibration instruction (S 101 ); obtaining a sending identifier in the notification information and searching for unprocessed information that has the sending identifier (S 102 ); and When the unprocessed information is found, triggering a vibration motor according to the vibration instruction (S 103 ). In the information notification method provided by the present invention, in a manner of sending an information vibration instruction to generate vibration at a receiving party, the receiving party is rapidly and effectively notificationed to view the unprocessed information, so that the information receiving party can process some significant information sent by a sending party in time.

Claims (34)

1. An information notification method, comprising:

receiving notification information, from a sending end, when determining information sent to a receiving end remains unprocessed at the receiving end, the information remaining unprocessed indicating at least one of a missed call, an unread short message, an unread e-mail, and unread information, and the notification information is information comprising a vibration instruction;

obtaining a sending identifier in the notification information and searching for information sent that remains unprocessed that has the sending identifier; and

triggering a vibration motor of the receiving end according to the vibration instruction when the sending identifier is found as a result of the searching.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein after the triggering the vibration motor according to the vibration instruction, the method further comprises:

displaying the information that remains unprocessed.

3. The method according to claim 2 , wherein when at least two pieces of notification information are received in a preset time period and information that remains unprocessed corresponding to the at least two pieces of notification information is found in the preset time period, the vibration motor is triggered only once, and the displaying the information that remains unprocessed comprises:

determining priorities of the at least two pieces of received notification information according to a preset policy; and

displaying the information that remains unprocessed corresponding to the at least two pieces of notification information sequentially according to the determined priorities.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein after the obtaining the sending identifier in the notification information and searching for the information sent that remains unprocessed that has the sending identifier, the method further comprises:

when no unprocessed information that has the sending identifier is found, sending information that no unprocessed information is found to the sending end.

5. A wireless handheld device, comprising:

a vibration motor of a receiving end;

a radio frequency transceiver; and

at least one processor, coupled to the vibration motor and the radio frequency transceiver,

wherein the processor is configured to, at least based on notification information sent to the radio frequency transceiver from a sending end when determining information sent to the receiving end remains unprocessed at the receiving end, obtain a sending identifier in the notification information and search for information sent that remains unprocessed that has the sending identifier,

wherein the information that remains unprocessed indicates at least one a missed call, an unread short message, an unread e-mail, and unread information, and the notification information is information carrying a vibration instruction, and the vibration motor of the receiving end is triggered according to the vibration instruction when the sending identifier is found as a result of the search.

6. The wireless handheld device according to claim 5 , further comprising:

a display coupled to the processor, wherein the display is configured to display the information that remains unprocessed after the vibration motor vibrates.

7. The wireless handheld device according to claim 6 , wherein the processor is configured to, when the radio frequency transceiver receives at least two pieces of notification information in a preset time period and finds information that remains unprocessed corresponding to the at least two pieces of notification information in the preset time period, trigger the vibration motor only once, and configured to determine priorities of the at least two pieces of received notification information according to a preset policy, and

the display is configured to display the information that remains unprocessed corresponding to the at least two pieces of notification information sequentially according to the priorities determined by the processor.

8. The wireless handheld device according to claim 5 , further comprising:

a loudspeaker coupled to the radio frequency transceiver; and

a microphone coupled to the radio frequency transceiver, wherein

the radio frequency transceiver is configured to, when no unprocessed information that has the sending identifier is found by the processor, send information that no unprocessed information is found to the sending end.

9. An information notification method, comprising:

sending notification information, from a sending end to a receiving end, when determining information sent to the receiving end remains unprocessed at the receiving end and when determining a preset condition is satisfied, so that the receiving end receives the notification information, obtains a sending identifier in the notification information, searches for information sent that remains unprocessed that has the sending identifier,

wherein the information that remains unprocessed indicates at least one of a missed call, an unread short message, an unread e-mail, and unread information, and the notification information is information carrying a vibration instruction, and a vibration motor of the receiving end is triggered according to the vibration instruction when the sending identifier is found as a result of the search.

10. The method according to claim 9 , wherein the preset condition comprises that:

a user configures and selects to send the notification information that indicates that the information that remains unprocessed;

or,

a time counted after a call is made to the receiving end and is not connected exceeds a preset time;

or,

a time counted after information is sent to the receiving end exceeds a preset time.
