A system, system, and program for automatically inferring and updating an availability status of a user are provided. At least one current activity of a user is detected, where the current activity includes at least one system level event within a computer environment accessible to the user. A current availability status for a particular communication request is inferred from the current activity of the user in view of multiple availability rules, where the multiple availability rules map current activity to multiple possible availability statuses. In addition, inference of the current availability status is determined based on the identity of the requester of communication with the user, where the multiple availability rules map the requester identity in combination with the current activity to multiple availability rules. Output of the current availability status is controlled, such that the requester of the particular communication request is notified of an availability of the user to respond to the particular communication request.

The present disclosure discloses a subject matter message notification method performed at a terminal and to be disseminated to one or more target users. The method includes: displaying a subject matter editing interface, the subject matter editing interface including an editing item used for editing subject matter content, an editing item used for adding a target user, and an editing item used for adding a file; generating a subject matter message in accordance with user-provided subject matter content through the editing item used for editing subject matter content, one or more user-selected target users through the editing item used for adding a target user, and one or more user-selected files through the editing item used for adding a file; and sending the subject matter message to a server, wherein the server is configured to send the subject matter message to the one or more user-selected target users.

The invention discloses a message prompt processing method and an electronic device. The method comprises the steps that a first application of the electronic device is obtained, and aiming at a prompt request of a new message which belongs to the first application, the request is responded to; a message filter condition of the first application is obtained, and based on content information of the new message, whether the message prompt of the new message accords with the message filter condition or not is judged; if yes, a prompt message display interface of the device is controlled, and message prompt of the new message of the first application is not displayed. According to the message prompt processing method, the message prompt of the new message in the application of the device is intelligently screened, then the prompt message of the new message of the application of the device can be subjected to screening display on the prompt message display interface of the electronic device, the problem of message prompt congestion of the prompt message display interface is effectively solved, the message prompt condition of the message prompt display interface is improved, and a user can search and look over an interested message conveniently.

A brake warning system is attachable to a first vehicle and for warning a second vehicle of an anticipated first vehicle braking. The system includes a vacuum or electrical switch operably connected to the first vehicle engine vacuum system and further includes a mechanism for monitoring a vacuum pressure fluctuation thereof. The vacuum switch sends a plurality of signals corresponding to accelerating and non-accelerating modes of the first vehicle and has a flasher light switch operably connected to it for receiving the plurality of signals therefrom for indicating when an accelerator pedal is released. The light switch is operably connected to the first vehicle brake light and flashes during an interval defined after an accelerator pedal is released and before the brake pedal is engaged.
