Limiting alerts on a computing device
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- receiving, by a computing device, at a first particular time, first notification data indicative of a first event within an execution environment at the computing device;
responsive to receiving the first notification data, outputting, by the computing device, at a first intensity level, a first alert associated with the first notification data;
receiving, by the computing device, at a second particular time after the first particular time, second notification data indicative of a second event within the execution environment at the computing device, wherein the second event is different than the first event, and wherein the second notification data is different than the first notification data;
responsive to receiving, by the computing device, an indication of user interaction with the computing device between the first particular time and the second particular time, outputting, by the computing device, at the first intensity level, a second alert associated with the second notification data; and
responsive to not receiving, by the computing device, the indication of user interaction with the computing device between the first particular time and the second particular time, outputting, by the computing device, at a second intensity level that is less than the first intensity level, the second alert associated with the second notification data, wherein the second alert is of a same type as the first alert.

Abstract
A computing device is described that receives, at a first particular time, first notification data. Responsive to receiving the first notification data, the computing device outputs, at a first intensity level, a first alert associated with the first notification data. The computing device receives, at a second particular time after the first particular time, second notification data. Responsive to the computing device receiving an indication of user interaction with the computing device between the first particular time and the second particular time, the computing device outputs, at the first intensity level, a second alert associated with the second notification data. Conversely, responsive to the computing device not receiving the indication of user interaction with the computing device, the computing device either outputs, at a second intensity level that is less than the first intensity level, the second alert, or refrains from outputting the second alert entirely.

17. A computing device, comprising:
-
at least one processor; and at least one module operable by the at least one processor to; receive at a first particular time, first notification data indicative of a first event within an execution environment at the computing device; responsive to receiving the first notification data, output at a first intensity level, a first alert associated with the first notification data; receive, at a second particular time after the first particular time, second notification data indicative of a second event within the execution environment at the computing device, wherein the second event is different than the first event, and wherein the second notification data is different than the first notification data; responsive to receiving an indication of user interaction with the computing device between the first particular time and the second particular time, output, at the first intensity level, a second alert associated with the second notification data; and responsive to not receiving the indication of user interaction with the computing device between the first particular time and the second particular time, output, at a second intensity level that is less than the first intensity level, the second alert associated with the second notification data, wherein the second alert is of a same type as the first alert. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
