Abstract

A method, an apparatus, and a mobile terminal for associating notification messages that relate to the field of information technologies, where the method includes obtaining semantic feature values of notification messages in different applications, and associating notification messages in different applications and whose semantic feature values match such that associate notification messages of associated events of a mobile terminal from different channels, thereby resolving a problem that notification messages of associated events are dispersedly distributed and are prone to be forgotten by a user. Therefore, the user can conveniently view notification messages of associated events from different channels, thereby effectively improving operation efficiency of the user, and improving user experience.

obtaining an instruction for triggering the first interface element by a user; and

invoking a third application, wherein a semantic feature value of the third application matches the semantic feature value of the first notification message or the semantic feature value of the second notification message.

5. The method of claim 1, further comprising obtaining the semantic feature value of the second notification message, wherein a manner of matching the semantic feature value of the second notification message with the semantic feature value of the first notification message comprises identifying that the semantic feature value of the second notification message is the same as or similar to the semantic feature value of the first notification message.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein associating the first notification message with the second notification message comprises any one of:

presenting the first notification message and the second notification message in a same interface;

sequentially presenting the first notification message and the second notification message in the same interface based on a time sequence of receiving notification messages;

or

sequentially broadcasting the first notification message and the second notification message through a voice based on a time sequence.

7. A mobile terminal, comprising:

determine a second notification message in a second application, wherein a semantic feature value of the second notification message matches the semantic feature value of the first notification message, wherein the second notification message is pre-stored in the mobile terminal, and wherein in determining that the semantic feature value of the second notification message matches the semantic feature value of the first notification message, the at least one application further causes the at least one processor to be configured to determine that an event related to the second notification message and an event related to the first notification message are a same event; and

associate the first notification message with the second notification message, wherein the first notification message indicates that the event is in a first state, wherein the second notification message indicates that the event is in a second state, wherein the memory is further configured to store a status of the event as the second state before obtaining the first notification message in the first application, and wherein the at least one application further causes the at least one processor to be configured to update a current status of the event to the first state after obtaining the first notification message in the first application.

8. The mobile terminal of claim 7, wherein the first state is an important state in a life cycle of the event, and wherein the at least one application further causes the at least one processor to be configured to notify a user that the current status of the event is the first state after updating the current status of the event to the first state.

9. The mobile terminal of claim 7, wherein the at least one application further causes the at least one processor to be configured to obtain the semantic feature value of the second notification message, and wherein in a manner of determining that the semantic feature value of the second notification message matches the semantic feature value of the first notification message, the at least one application further causes the at least one processor to be configured to determine that the semantic feature value of the second notification message is the same as or similar to the semantic feature value of the first notification message.

10. The mobile terminal of claim 7, further comprising an output device coupled to the at least one processor, and wherein in a manner of associating the first notification message with the second notification message, the at least one application further causes the at least one processor to be configured to instruct the output device to sequentially present the first notification message and the second notification message in a same interface based on a progress sequence of an event.
