Patents by Inventor Zhonghua Zeng

Zhonghua Zeng has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11704629
    Abstract: Methods and systems for processing information cards. The implementations include receiving from a first application an instruction by a second application to process the information card. The first application is different from an application corresponding to the information card, and the second application is capable of processing the information card. The second application may process the information card based on the instruction. Alternatively, the second application may return service data to the first application based on the instruction such that the first application processes the information card based on the service data. This improves flexibility and efficiency of information card processing.

  • Patent number: 10893135
    Abstract: A method and an apparatus of data processing are disclosed. The method includes obtaining a message including a non-triggered event; determining an event type and a triggering time of the non-triggered event according to the message; and providing a reminder for the non-triggered event according to the event type and the triggering time, and/or controlling a state of the mobile terminal according to the event type and the triggering time. By determining a triggering time and an event type of a non-triggered event, a prompt may also be made before the triggering time even if a user has read the information. Alternatively, the user may also be helped to adjust the state of the mobile terminal to a state related to the event type, so that the mobile terminal is in a state required by the user during the execution of the non-triggered event, thus improving the user experience.

  • Publication number: 20170085426
    Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention provides a system for pre-configuring applications installed on a client device. During operation, the system collects contextual information associated with a user of the client device, and determines whether a pre-configuration condition for an inactive application is met based on the collected contextual information and a set of pre-configuration rules. In response to the pre-configuration condition being met, the system pre-configures the inactive application, without receiving an instruction from the user.
