Abstract

Embodiments of the present invention provide a displaying method and apparatus relate to the field of mobile applications, where the method includes: receiving a first notification message sent by a first server, wherein the first server is corresponding to a first application program associated with a universally unique identifier of a first signal transmitter device; determining strength of a received signal sent by the first signal transmitter device; and determining a display manner according to the strength of the signal sent by the first signal transmitter device, and displaying the first notification message in the display manner.

Claims

1-13. -13. (canceled)

14. A message displaying method, wherein the method comprises:

receiving a first notification message sent by a first server, wherein the first server is corresponding to a first application program associated with a universally unique identifier of a first signal transmitter device;

determining strength of a received signal sent by the first signal transmitter device;

determining a display manner according to the strength of the signal sent by the first signal transmitter device; and

displaying the first notification message in the display manner.

15. The method according to claim 14, wherein the determining a display manner according to the strength of the signal sent by the first signal transmitter device, and displaying the first notification message in the display manner comprise:

determining a first distance between a mobile terminal and the first signal transmitter device according to the strength of the received signal sent by the first signal transmitter device; and

displaying the first notification message on a screen of the mobile terminal in a first manner when the first distance between the mobile terminal and the first signal transmitter device is less than a first distance threshold, or

displaying the first notification message on a screen of the mobile terminal in a second manner when the first distance between the mobile terminal and the first signal transmitter device is greater than the first distance threshold, wherein the first manner is different from the second manner.

16. The method according to claim 15, wherein the method further comprises:

receiving a second notification message sent by a second server, wherein the second server is corresponding to an application program associated with a universally unique identifier of a second signal transmitter device;

determining a second distance between the mobile terminal and the second signal transmitter device according to a received signal sent by the second signal transmitter device;

determining a display manner of the second notification message according to the second distance between the mobile terminal and the second signal transmitter device; and

when the display manner of the first notification message is the same as that of the second notification message, arranging display orders of the first notification message and the second notification message according to the first distance and the second distance, or arranging display orders of the first notification message and the second notification message according to receiving time of the first notification message and the second notification message.

17. The method according to claim 15, wherein the determining a display manner according to the signal strength of the first signal transmitter device, and displaying the first notification message in the display manner further comprise:

refraining displaying the first notification message on the screen of the mobile terminal when the first distance between the mobile terminal and the first signal transmitter device is greater than a second distance threshold, wherein the second distance threshold is greater than the first distance threshold.

18-21. -21. (canceled)

22. A message displaying apparatus, wherein the apparatus comprises a processor, a non-transitory computer-readable memory, a communications unit, an output unit, and a bus;

the non-transitory computer-readable memory is configured to store computer execution instructions;

the processor, and the non-transitory computer-readable memory are connected by the bus; and

the computer execution instructions, when executed, cause the processor to;

determine strength of a received signal sent by the first signal transmitter device; and

determine a display manner according to the strength of the signal sent by the first signal transmitter device, and displaying the first notification message in the display manner.

23. The message displaying apparatus according to claim 22, wherein the computer execution instructions, when executed, cause the processor to:

determine a first distance between a mobile terminal and the first signal transmitter device according to the strength of the received signal sent by the first signal transmitter device; and

display the first notification message on a screen of the mobile terminal in a first manner when the first distance between the mobile terminal and the first signal transmitter device is less than a first distance threshold, or

display the first notification message on a screen of the mobile terminal in a second manner when the first distance between the mobile terminal and the first signal transmitter device is greater than the first distance threshold, wherein the first manner is different from the second manner.

24. The message displaying apparatus according to claim 23, wherein the computer execution instructions, when executed, cause the processor further to:

receive a second notification message sent by a second server, wherein the second server is corresponding to an application program associated with a universally unique identifier of a second signal transmitter device;

determine a second distance between the mobile terminal and the second signal transmitter device according to a received signal sent by the second signal transmitter device;

determine a display manner of the second notification message according to the second distance between the mobile terminal and the second signal transmitter device; and

when the display manner of the first notification message is the same as that of the second notification message, arranging display orders of the first notification message and the second notification message according to the first distance and the second distance, or arranging display orders of the first notification message and the second notification message according to receiving time of the first notification message and the second notification message.

25. The message displaying apparatus according to claim 23, wherein the computer execution instructions, when executed, cause the processor to:

refrain from displaying the first notification message on the screen of the mobile terminal when the first distance between the mobile terminal and the first signal transmitter device is greater than a second distance threshold, wherein the second distance threshold is greater than the first distance threshold.
