[0022] The following describes the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of this application. Apparently, the described embodiments are some rather than all of the embodiments of this application. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of this application.

[0023] The terms “first”, “second”, and the like in the specification and claims of this application are used to distinguish between similar objects rather than to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that data used in this way may be interchangeable in appropriate cases, so that the embodiments of this application can be implemented in a sequence other than those shown or described herein. In addition, in the specification and claims, “and/or” represents at least one of connected objects, and the character “/” generally represents an “or” relationship between associated objects.

[0024] The following describes in detail a notification message reminder method, a notification message reminder apparatus, an electronic device, and a readable storage medium by using embodiments and application scenarios thereof with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0025] The notification message reminder method may be applied to a mobile terminal, and may be performed by, but not limited to, hardware or software in the mobile terminal. The notification message reminder method may be performed by the mobile terminal or a control apparatus of the mobile terminal.

[0026] The embodiments of this application provide the notification message reminder method. The notification message reminder method may be performed by the mobile terminal, including but not limited to the mobile terminal, the control apparatus of the mobile terminal, and the like.

[0027] An embodiment of this application provides a notification message reminder method, applied to a mobile terminal. The mobile terminal includes a lens pan-tilt module, and the lens pan-tilt module includes a pan-tilt installed on the whole machine and a lens installed on the pan-tilt. The pan-tilt may be electrically controlled, for example, the lens pan-tilt module includes a motor for driving the lens to move.

[0028] As shown in FIG. 1, the notification message reminder method includes step 110 and step 120.

• • [0029] Step 110: Receive a first notification message.

[0030] The first notification message includes but is not limited to: an incoming call notification, a short message notification, a social application notification, a clock application notification, a music application notification, or other application notifications.

[0031] The incoming call notification is used as an example. When receiving an incoming call, the mobile terminal receives a corresponding notification message.

[0032] The social application notification is used as an example. When a user receives a message from a contact, the mobile terminal receives a corresponding notification message.

[0033] The clock application notification is used as an example. If the user sets an alarm clock, the mobile terminal receives a corresponding notification message when a target moment is reached.

[0034] The music application notification is used as an example. If the user sets a notification for reminding that an album is open for purchase, the mobile terminal receives a corresponding notification message when the album is open for purchase.

[0035] Corresponding examples of other types are not provided one by one.

[0036] In this embodiment of this application, when the first notification message is received, it is not necessary to ring or vibrate to remind as in the related art, but to implement a silent reminder by moving the lens when a preset condition is met.

• • [0037] Step 120: Control the lens to move according to a target reminder scheme corresponding to a target application, where the target application is an application corresponding to the first notification message.

[0038] In other words, when the first notification message is received, it is determined whether the application corresponding to the first notification message is in a target application list.

[0039] It can be understood that a silent reminder mode is preset for the target application, and the silent reminder mode includes the target reminder scheme corresponding to the target application, and the target reminder scheme is a movement scheme of the lens.

[0040] In this way, when the first notification message of the target application is received, the user may be notified of a type (a corresponding target application) of the current first notification message by controlling the lens to move according to the target reminder scheme, thereby implementing a silent and private reminder.

[0041] It should be noted that the pan-tilt module mentioned in this application may be a micro pan-tilt. This module has functions such as flexible rotating, shaking, and displacing, and can flexibly respond to various complex scenarios and notification reminders of various applications. In addition, the lens hardly produces any noise during rotation and displacement, which is very suitable for a scenario requiring high silence, such as a meeting.

[0042] According to the notification message reminder method provided in this embodiment of this application, the lens installed on the pan-tilt module moves to implement a message reminder, which implements a brand-new lens interaction, attracts less attention of others, and has good privacy.

[0043] In some embodiments, the step 120: control the lens to move according to a target reminder scheme corresponding to a target application includes: in a case that the lens is facing upward, controlling the lens to move according to the target reminder scheme corresponding to the target application.

[0044] In other words, when the first notification message is received, it needs to first determine a posture of the lens installed on the pan-tilt module.

[0045] The posture of the lens installed on the pan-tilt module may be determined in various manners.

[0046] First, a posture of the mobile terminal may be determined by a gyroscope.

[0047] For example, the lens installed on the pan-tilt module is set on a side of the mobile terminal away from a screen. When a control apparatus determines, based on a signal of the gyroscope, that the screen of the mobile terminal is facing downward, the lens installed on the pan-tilt module is determined to face upward.

[0048] For example, in a meeting scenario, the screen of the mobile terminal is placed downward on a desktop, and the lens installed on the pan-tilt module is set on the back of the mobile terminal. In this case, if the first notification message is received, the lens can move to provide a silent and private reminder for the user to determine whether to check the first notification information.

[0049] Second, the posture of the mobile terminal is determined by an optical sensor.

[0050] For example, the lens installed on the pan-tilt module is set on the side of the mobile terminal away from the screen, and a side in which the screen of the mobile terminal is located is provided with the optical sensor.

[0051] In a case that the screen of the mobile terminal is placed downward, for example, the screen of the mobile terminal is placed on the desktop, when a controller determines, based on a signal of the optical sensor, that the screen of the mobile terminal is facing downward, the lens installed on the pan-tilt module is determined to face upward.

[0052] Third, the posture of the mobile terminal is comprehensively determined based on signals of a plurality of sensors.

[0053] For example, the posture of the mobile terminal is determined by combining signals of the gyroscope and the optical sensor.

[0054] It can be understood that when the lens installed on the pan-tilt module is determined to face upward, it is practically meaningful to remind the user through the movement of the lens.

[0055] Particularly, in a case that the lens installed on the pan-tilt module is set on the side of the mobile terminal away from the screen, in a case that the screen of the mobile terminal is placed downward, it can be perfectly conveyed to others that the user is not operating and paying attention to information of a mobile phone at present.

[0056] In addition, not every notification message requires the attention of the user in a target scenario. The application corresponding to the first notification message is determined as the target application, which can first exclude an application that the user does not pay attention to.

[0057] In a case that at least two conditions are met: the lens installed on the pan-tilt module is facing upward and the application corresponding to the first notification message is the target application, the user may be notified of the type (the corresponding target application) of the current first notification message by controlling the lens to move according to the target reminder scheme, thereby implementing the silent and private reminder.

[0058] In some embodiments, the step 120: control the lens to move according to a target reminder scheme corresponding to a target application includes: in a case that the mobile terminal is in a silent reminder state, controlling the lens to move according to the target reminder scheme corresponding to the target application.

[0059] In addition, the method may further include: in a case that the mobile terminal is in a non-silent reminder state, outputting prompt information according to a target prompt manner.

[0060] It should be noted that the mobile terminal may include a plurality of reminder modes, including but not limited to: a silent mode, a silent reminder mode, a vibration reminder mode, a ringing reminder mode, and the like.

[0061] In a case that the mobile terminal is set to be in the silent reminder mode, when the first notification message is received, the lens is controlled to move according to the target reminder scheme corresponding to the target application.

[0062] In a case that the mobile terminal is set to be in the vibration reminder mode, when the first notification message is received, a vibration reminder is outputted.

[0063] In a case that the mobile terminal is set to be in the ringing reminder mode, when the first notification message is received, a ring reminder is outputted.

[0064] In a case that the mobile terminal is set to be in the silent mode, when the first notification message is received, there is no reminder or the lens is not controlled to move.

[0065] In some embodiments, before the step 110: receive a first notification message, the notification message reminder method may further include:

• • [0066] receiving a first input of a user.

[0067] In this step, the first input is used to select the target application.

[0068] The first input may be expressed in at least one of the following manners.

[0069] First, the first input may be expressed as a touch input, including but not limited to a tap input, a slide input, a press input, and the like.

[0070] In this implementation, receiving the first input of the user may be expressed as receiving a touch operation of the user on a display area of a display screen of the mobile terminal.

[0071] For example, the first input may include: an operation of tapping a target application in an application list in a case that a silent reminder setting interface is displayed.

[0072] Second, the first input may be expressed as a physical button input.

[0073] In this implementation, a body of the mobile terminal is provided with a physical button corresponding to a selection or a determination. Receiving the first input of the user may be expressed as receiving the first input of the user pressing the corresponding physical button, and the first input may also be a combined operation of pressing a plurality of physical buttons at the same time.

[0074] Third, the first input may be expressed as a voice input.

[0075] In this implementation, when receiving a voice such as “setting WeChat to be silently reminded”, a terminal may be triggered to set WeChat as the target application.

[0076] In another embodiment, the first input may also be expressed in another form, including but not limited to a character input or the like, which can be determined according to actual needs, and is not limited in this embodiment of this application.

[0077] The target application is determined in response to the first input.

[0078] When the first input is received, at least one application is selected as the target application.

[0079] It should be noted that the first input may select one or more applications.

[0080] In some embodiments, corresponding to a social application, one or more target contacts in a target social application may also be selected for enabling a silent reminder permission. In addition, different reminder schemes may also be set for different contacts in a same target social application.

[0081] A second input of the user is received.

[0082] In this step, the second input is used for the target reminder scheme associated with the target application.

[0083] The second input may be expressed in at least one of the following manners.

[0084] First, the second input may be expressed as a touch input, including but not limited to a tap input, a slide input, a press input, and the like.

[0085] In this implementation, receiving the second input of the user may be expressed as receiving the touch operation of the user on the display area of the display screen of the mobile terminal.

[0086] For example, the second input may include: tapping a corresponding reminder scheme in a case that a reminder scheme selection interface is displayed.

[0087] The reminder scheme may include: movement, rotation, or shake.

[0088] In some embodiments, the reminder scheme may include parameters such as a cycle or time of a movement.

[0089] Second, the second input may be expressed as a physical button input.

[0090] In this implementation, a body of the mobile terminal is provided with a physical button corresponding to a selection and a determination. Receiving the second input of the user may be expressed as receiving the second input of the user pressing the corresponding physical button, and the second input may also be a combined operation of pressing a plurality of physical buttons at the same time.

[0091] Third, the second input may be expressed as a voice input.

[0092] In this implementation, when receiving a voice such as “rotating the lens 5 turns”, the terminal may trigger the target application to control, in the silent reminder mode and when a reminder condition is met, the lens to rotate 5 turns.

[0093] In another embodiment, the second input may also be expressed in another form, including but not limited to a character input or the like, which can be determined according to actual needs, and is not limited in this embodiment of this application.

[0094] The target reminder scheme associated with the target application is determined in response to the second input.

[0095] When the second input is received, an association relationship between the target application and the target reminder scheme is established when the target application can be set.

[0096] It should be noted that a corresponding target reminder scheme may be set for one target application each time, or a same target reminder scheme may be set for a plurality of applications. In some embodiments, different corresponding target reminder schemes may also be set for different contacts in one target application. This is not specifically limited in this embodiment of this application.

[0097] In some embodiments, the target reminder scheme includes at least one of the following.

[0098] First, the lens moves according to a target trajectory.

[0099] In this embodiment, a motion mode of the lens is movement, and a moving trajectory may be preset, such as moving along a length direction of the mobile terminal, moving along a width direction of the mobile terminal, or moving along a diagonal direction of the mobile terminal.

[0100] Different motion trajectories may correspond to different target applications, or correspond to different contacts.

[0101] In this way, a plurality of different reminder scenarios can be distinguished through the movement of the lens, and more information can be conveyed to the user through the movement of the lens.

[0102] Second, the lens rotates according to a target angle.

[0103] In this embodiment, the motion mode of the lens is rotation, and a rotation angle may be preset, such as rotating 720° clockwise (2 turns clockwise), or rotating 1440° clockwise (4 turns clockwise), or rotating 720° counterclockwise (2 turns counterclockwise).

[0104] In this way, a plurality of different reminder scenarios can be distinguished through the rotation of the lens, and more information can be conveyed to the user through the rotation of the lens.

[0105] Third, the lens shakes according to the target angle.

[0106] In this embodiment, the motion mode of the lens is shake, and a shaking angle may be preset, such as shaking with a range of 15° or shaking with a range of 45°.

[0107] In this way, a plurality of different reminder scenarios can be distinguished through the shaking of the lens, and more information can be conveyed to the user through the shaking of the lens.

[0108] The foregoing three motion modes may be used independently or may be used in combination.

[0109] In some embodiments, controlling the lens to move according to the target reminder scheme includes controlling the lens to execute, according to the target reminder scheme, in one of the following cycles:

• • [0110] 1. Stop after cycling a target number of times.

[0111] In this embodiment, the target number of times of cycling may be one time or a plurality of times.

[0112] For example, the lens is set to rotate 2 turns clockwise twice for a WeChat notification message. In the silent reminder mode, if the WeChat notification message is received and the lens installed on the pan-tilt module is facing upward, the lens is controlled to rotate 4 turns clockwise.

[0113] In some embodiments, if an input of the user for turning off the silent reminder is received during the rotation of the lens, the lens stops rotating.

• • [0114] 2. Stop after lasting for a target time.

[0115] In this embodiment, a stop signal of the movement of the lens is that a movement time reaches the target time.

[0116] For example, the lens is set to shake continuously for 10 s for the WeChat notification message. In the silent reminder mode, if the WeChat notification message is received and the lens installed on the pan-tilt module is facing upward, the lens is controlled to shake for 10 s.

[0117] In some embodiments, if the input of the user for turning off the silent reminder is received during the shaking of the lens, the lens stops shaking.

• • [0118] 3. Stop after continuously cycling until a target input of the user is received.

[0119] In this embodiment, the stop signal of the movement of the lens is that the target input of the user is received.

[0120] For example, the lens is set to shake for the WeChat notification message. In the silent reminder mode, if the WeChat notification message is received and the lens installed on the pan-tilt module is facing upward, the lens is controlled to continuously shake until the target input of the user for turning off the silent reminder is received, and then the lens stops shaking.

[0121] The target input includes but is not limited to: an operation of picking up the mobile terminal by the user or an operation of pressing a screen lock button by the user.

• • [0122] 4. Pause after cycling a target number of times, and restart after a target time period.

[0123] In this embodiment, the lens moves in a plurality of cycles, and after each cycle of movement ends, the movement pauses for the target time period and then restarts.

[0124] For example, the lens is set to shake continuously for 10 s and pause for 20 s for the WeChat notification message. In the silent reminder mode, if the WeChat notification message is received and the lens installed on the pan-tilt module is facing upward, the lens is controlled to shake for 10 s, then pause for 20 s, and then the lens is controlled to shake for 10 s again.

[0125] In some embodiments, if the input of the user for turning off the silent reminder is received during the shaking or pausing of the lens, the lens stops shaking.

[0126] The foregoing four cycles may be combined with the foregoing three motion modes, so that the user can set a symbolic target reminder scheme for the target application according to needs. In a case that the user does not look at the screen, more information can be conveyed to the user through the shaking of the lens.

[0127] The following describes, with reference to FIG. 2, a method for setting the target reminder scheme in the embodiments of this application.

[0128] As shown in FIG. 2, when starting to set the silent reminder, a system setting interface may be entered, and a silent reminder setting for a lens is selected. In this case, a silent reminder setting interface may display a plurality of controls. A control of the target application is selected by tapping, and a list of supported applications is unfolded. The list of supported applications may include authorized applications, such as displaying Phone, Messages, WeChat, QQ, and other applications that support prompts. The target application is selected. If the user checks one application, a subsequent setting is performed only on the application. If the user checks a plurality of applications, the subsequent setting takes effect for all checked applications. The target reminder scheme is set, and the target reminder scheme includes: rotating a specific number of turns, shaking at a specific angle, and drawing a user-defined lens displacement scheme. An execution cycle is set, including setting the cycle as: executing one time, executing a plurality of times, continuous cycling, automatic stopping after cycling a specific number of times, repeatedly executing after a time period, and the user saves and exits the settings.

[0129] It should be noted that the premise of performing the notification message reminder method in this application is that the silent reminder mode is turned on.

[0130] In some embodiments, in a case that the lens installed on the pan-tilt module is facing upward and the application corresponding to the first notification message is the target application, the step 120: control the lens to move according to a target reminder scheme includes:

• • [0131] in a case that the lens installed on the pan-tilt module is facing upward, determining that the application corresponding to the first notification message is the target application;
  • [0132] obtaining the target reminder scheme corresponding to the target application; and
  • [0133] controlling the lens to move according to the target reminder scheme.

[0134] In other words, the method includes a plurality of determinations. It may first be determined whether the lens installed on the pan-tilt module is facing upward. Such determination is simple, which is convenient to quickly exclude a scenario in which the lens is facing downward.

[0135] In a case that the lens installed on the pan-tilt module is facing upward, the application corresponding to the first notification message is determined as the target application, and a list of applications with a silent reminder setting may be directly traversed. If the application corresponding to the first notification message is in the list, a corresponding target reminder scheme is directly read, and the lens is controlled to move according to the target reminder scheme. If the lens installed on the pan-tilt module is not facing upward, the procedure is directly ended. If the application corresponding to the first notification message is not the target application, the procedure is directly ended.

[0136] The following describes an embodiment of this application with reference to FIG. 3 and FIG. 4.

[0137] As shown in FIG. 3, in a case that a silent reminder mode is turned on, a first notification message is received. It is determined whether a lens is facing upward. If the lens is not facing upward, the procedure is directly ended. If the lens is facing upward, it is determined whether an application corresponding to the first notification message is a target application. If the application is not the target application, the procedure is directly ended. If the application is the target application, a target reminder scheme set for the application is read. Then, the lens is controlled to move according to the target reminder scheme.

[0138] After the lens is controlled to move according to the target reminder scheme, it may be determined, by using the following method, whether to end the procedure.

[0139] As shown in FIG. 4, a movement cycle setting for a lens is read. In a case that a number of times of lens movement cycling is finite, movement cycles are counted. A lens movement is automatically stopped after the movement cycles are executed for the number of times without interruption. A user picks up a terminal/taps a screen lock button, for example, if the user picks up a mobile phone during the execution of the lens movement, the lens movement is terminated, or if the user performs a button operation during the execution of the lens movement, the lens movement is terminated. If the operation of picking up the terminal/tapping the screen lock button by the use is not received, the lens is controlled to stop moving when the count reaches the movement cycle setting.

[0140] In some other embodiments, the notification message reminder method may further include: in a case of playing audio information, controlling the lens to move based on the audio information.

[0141] In actual execution, the lens may be controlled, based on the audio information, to shake or rotate.

[0142] For example, a speed, an amplitude, and the like of the shaking or rotation of the lens may be controlled based on a rhythm of the audio information; or the speed, the amplitude, and the like of the shaking or rotation of the lens are controlled based on a groove of the audio information; or the speed, the amplitude, and the like of the shaking or rotation of the lens are controlled based on output volume of the audio information; or the speed, the amplitude, and the like of the shaking or rotation of the lens are controlled based on a tone of the audio information.

[0143] In this way, the lens installed on a pan-tilt module can simulate the audio information, especially combined with a music player application. When the user plays music, a novel interaction can be implemented, which has a high commercial value.

[0144] It should be noted that the notification message reminder method provided in the embodiments of this application may be performed by a notification message reminder apparatus or a control module for performing loading of the notification message reminder method in the notification message reminder apparatus.

[0145] An embodiment of this application further provides a notification message reminder apparatus.
