NOTIFICATION DISMISSAL IN AN INTERNET OF THINGS (IoT) ENVIRONMENT
First Claim
1. A method of operating a consumer Internet of Things (IoT) device deployed in a local IoT environment, comprising:
- receiving, at the consumer IoT device, a notification message from a producer IoT device;
presenting the notification message via a display coupled to the consumer IoT device;
receiving, at the consumer IoT device, a manual request from a user to dismiss the notification message from the display; and
prompting, in response to the manual request, an auto-dismissal of the notification message from displays of one or more other consumer IoT devices in the IoT environment that also received and presented the notification message.

Abstract
Systems and methods for operating Internet of Things (IoT) devices are disclosed. A method may include receiving a notification message from a producer IoT device and presenting the notification message via a display of a consumer IoT device. In addition, a manual request from a user to dismiss the notification message is received, and an auto-dismissal of the notification message from displays of one or more other consumer IoT devices is prompted. A multicast or broadcast message from the consumer device may be transmitted to the one or more other consumer IoT devices to request the auto-dismissal of the notification message from displays of the one or more other consumer IoT devices. Alternatively, the consumer device interact with the producer IoT device to facilitate the producer IoT device to trigger the auto-dismissal of the notification message from the displays of the one or more other consumer IoT devices.
