Abstract

Many devices are configured to present notifications to a user in an environment, such as mobile phones that ring or buzz to notify the user of an incoming call, and navigation devices that present spoken instructions to the driver of a vehicle. Many such devices present such audio notifications when information potentially relevant to the user is initially identified, but these techniques can interrupt user activity such as a conversation. Instead, the device can monitor the user's activity within the environment to detect notification opportunities where notifications can be presented to the user without interrupting the activity (e.g., a lull in a conversation, or a gap between a first scheduled appointment and a second scheduled appointment). idle interval). Instead of interrupting the user's activity, the device can present notifications of relevant information to the user during the notification opportunity.

Description

Background technique [0001] In the field of human / computer interaction, many devices are configured to present information notifications to a user that may be apparent and / or timely discovered by the user. As a first example, upon receipt of an incoming call or message, the device may ring, flash or beep in an alert manner to notify the user of the communication and enable the user to respond. As a second example, the device may monitor the user's calendar for upcoming appointments, and may present a reminder when the appointment is approaching (eg, a reminder presented 15 minutes before the appointment). As a third example, a device may enable a user to follow a route to a destination by presenting a series of navigation notifications (eg, "Turn right in 0.5 kilometers"). As a fourth example, a device may utilize geofencing techniques to associate a location with a message, and may present a notification of the message to the user when the user arrives at the location.
