QUIET HOURS FOR NOTIFICATIONS
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- detecting a notification event on a mobile device, where the mobile device is configured to generate sound, light, movement or a combination thereof in response to the notification event determining whether one or more criteria are met, where the one or more criteria include time-based, location-based or movement-based criteria; and
preventing the mobile device from generating sound, light and/or movement in response to detecting the notification event when the one or more criteria are met.

Abstract
In some implementations, a computing device can be configured to automatically turn off notifications when generating a notification would cause a disturbance or be unwanted by a user. The device can be configured with quiet hours during which notifications that would otherwise be generated by the computing device can be suppressed. In some implementations, quiet hours can be configured as a time period with a start time and an end time. In some implementations, quiet hours can be derived from application data. For example, calendar data, alarm clock data, map data, etc. can be used to determine when quiet hours should be enforced. In some implementations, the device can be configured with exceptions to quiet hour notification suppression. In some implementations, the user can identify contacts to which the quiet hours notification suppression should not be applied.
