Abstract

A method for displaying a prompting message includes that: upon there is a prompting message to be displayed, a first mark is dynamically displayed on a desktop; after an input operation for the first mark is detected, the desktop is switched to a prompting page; and the prompting message is displayed on the prompting page. Therefore, displaying of the prompting message is optimized, a user can view the prompting message in a more timely manner, and user experience is improved.

Claims (60)

1. A method for displaying a prompting message, comprising:

upon there is a prompting message to be displayed, dynamically displaying a first mark on a desktop;

after an input operation for the first mark is detected, switching the desktop to a prompting page; and

displaying the prompting message on the prompting page,

wherein dynamically displaying the first mark on the desktop comprises:

automatically making an extension and contraction change to a display length of the first mark on the desktop in a predetermined direction; and

displaying the first mark on the desktop dynamically and periodically,

wherein the predetermined direction is:

a first direction, which is a sliding direction of a sliding operation of triggering an electronic device to switch from the desktop to the prompting page; or,

a second direction, which is a sliding direction of a sliding operation of triggering an electronic device to switch from the prompting page to the desktop,

wherein, when the extension and contraction change is made to the first mark in the first direction, the first mark is displayed at an edge position of the desktop or in a middle region of the desktop.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

upon there is no prompting message to be displayed, statically displaying a second mark on the desktop.

3. A mobile phone implementing the method of claim 1 , wherein the mobile phone comprises a display screen configured to display the prompting message on the prompting page to be viewable to a user without switching to each application, thereby simplifying user operation; and wherein the mobile phone is configured to notify the user of the prompting message by displaying the first mark on the desktop without user intervention.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the prompting message comprises at least one of a calendar prompt, an email prompt, or an instant message prompt.

5. A device for displaying a prompting message, comprising:

a processor; and

a memory configured to store an instruction executable for the processor,

wherein the processor is configured to:

upon there is a prompting message to be displayed, control dynamically displaying of a first mark on a desktop;

after an input operation for the first mark is detected, switch the desktop to a prompting page; and

control displaying of the prompting message on the prompting page,

wherein the processor, when controlling dynamically displaying of the first mark on the desktop, is specifically configured to:

automatically control making of an extension and contraction change to a display length of the first mark on the desktop in a predetermined direction; and

control periodically dynamically displaying the first mark on the desktop,

wherein the predetermined direction is:

a first direction, which is a sliding direction of a sliding operation of triggering an electronic device to switch from the desktop to the prompting page; or,

a second direction, which is a sliding direction of a sliding operation of triggering an electronic device to switch from the prompting page to the desktop,

wherein, when the extension and contraction change is made to the first mark in the first direction, the first mark is displayed at an edge position of the desktop or in a middle region of the desktop.

6. The device of claim 5 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

upon there is no prompting message to be displayed, control static displaying of a second mark on the desktop.

7. The device of claim 6 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

upon a state of dynamically displaying the first mark meets a dynamic display stopping condition under a screen control strategy, control stopping of dynamical displaying of the first mark.

8. The device of claim 6 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

upon an event to be processed or a service situation update meeting a screen control strategy is detected, generate the prompting message to be displayed.

9. The device of claim 5 , wherein the prompting message comprises prompting messages for one or more applications.

10. The device of claim 9 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

upon a state of dynamically displaying the first mark meets a dynamic display stopping condition under a screen control strategy, control stopping of dynamical displaying of the first mark.

11. The device of claim 5 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

upon a state of dynamically displaying the first mark meets a dynamic display stopping condition under a screen control strategy, control stopping of dynamical displaying of the first mark.

12. The device of claim 11 , wherein the processor is configured to, upon there is the prompting message to be displayed, control dynamical displaying of the first mark on the desktop at an interval of a preset duration according to a dynamic display triggering condition under the screen control strategy.

13. The device of claim 5 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

upon a state of dynamically displaying the first mark meets a dynamic display stopping condition under a screen control strategy, control stopping of dynamical displaying of the first mark.

14. The device of claim 13 , wherein the processor is configured to, upon there is the prompting message to be displayed, control dynamical displaying of the first mark on the desktop at an interval of a preset duration according to a dynamic display triggering condition under the screen control strategy.

15. The device of claim 5 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

upon an event to be processed or a service situation update meeting a screen control strategy is detected, generate the prompting message to be displayed.

16. The device of claim 5 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

upon an event to be processed or a service situation update meeting a screen control strategy is detected, generate the prompting message to be displayed.

17. The device of claim 5 , wherein the prompting message comprises at least one of a calendar prompt, an email prompt, or an instant message prompt.

18. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having instructions stored thereon, for execution by a processor of a mobile terminal to enable the mobile terminal to implement operations of a method for displaying a prompting message, comprising:

upon there is a prompting message to be displayed, dynamically displaying a first mark on a desktop;

after an input operation for the first mark is detected, switching the desktop to a prompting page; and

displaying the prompting message on the prompting page,

wherein dynamically displaying the first mark on the desktop comprises:

automatically making an extension and contraction change to a display length of the first mark on the desktop in a predetermined direction; and

displaying the first mark on the desktop dynamically and periodically,

wherein the predetermined direction is:

a first direction, which is a sliding direction of a sliding operation of triggering an electronic device to switch from the desktop to the prompting page; or,

a second direction, which is a sliding direction of a sliding operation of triggering an electronic device to switch from the prompting page to the desktop,

wherein, when the extension and contraction change is made to the first mark in the first direction, the first mark is displayed at an edge position of the desktop or in a middle region of the desktop.
