DELAYED AND TIME-SPACE BOUND NOTIFICATIONS
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented notification system, comprising:
- a priority designation component that assigns priority designations to notifications of notification systems;
a notification distribution component that enables transmission of the notifications based on the priority designations; and
a processor that executes computer-executable instructions associated with at least one of the priority designation component or the notification distribution component.

Abstract
Architecture that enables alerts and notifications to have priorities and time/space durations. Non-critical alerts can be displayed in a non-obtrusive manner and alert/notifications coalesced. Alerts/notifications can be assigned priorities, thereby enabling the alerts/notifications to be non-intrusive to the user. Methods include detecting when the user is using a mobile phone (or other suitable device) and then sending the alert/notification in response to the detected use based on threshold criteria relative to an accumulated sum of alerts/notifications, and an importance level (e.g., of each). Additionally, alert/notification priority can be changed (e.g. elevated, lowered) according to time (when) and space (where), thereby enabling the user to be intrusively notified based on the level, even if not previously signaled. Time and space bounds (criteria) can be assigned to alerts/notifications for merger/grouping and/or set to be auto-dismissed if no longer applicable.

10. A computer-implemented notification system, comprising:
-
a priority designation component that enables assignment of priority designations to notifications of notification systems; a detection component that detects status of a user relative to the notifications; a notification distribution component that enables transmission of the notifications to the user based on the priority designations and the status of the user; and a processor that executes computer-executable instructions associated with at least one of the priority designation component, detection component, or the notification distribution component. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A computer-implemented notification method, comprising acts of:
-
assigning a priority to each of multiple notifications of messaging systems; sensing status of a user relative to a user device that can receive the notifications; sending a notification to the user device based on the associated priority and the status; and utilizing a processor that executes instructions stored in memory to perform at least one of the acts of assigning, sensing, or sending. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
