Abstract

In one example a controller comprises logic, at least partially including hardware logic, configured to receive a notification of an incoming event and terminate the notification in response to at least one of a predetermined motion applied to the controller or a predetermined touch applied to a touch surface. Other examples may be described.

Claims

1. A controller, comprising:

logic, at least partially including hardware logic, configured to;

receive a notification of an incoming event; and

terminate the notification in response to at least one of;

a predetermined motion applied to the controller;

or

a predetermined touch applied to a touch surface.

2. The controller of claim 1, wherein the notification comprises an alert from at least one of:

a phone call;

an incoming message;

a calendaring event;

or

an application.

3. The controller of claim 1, wherein the logic is further configured to receive an input from at least one of:

an accelerometer;

a magnetometer;

a proximity detector;

an orientation detector;

a gyrometer;

a touch surface;

a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) device;

a WiFi device;

or

a cellular network access device.

4. The controller of claim 1, wherein the logic is further configured to:

receive a termination condition during a configuration process; and

determine whether a termination condition received in response to the notification matches the termination condition received during the configuration process.

5. The controller of claim 4, wherein the logic to terminate the notification comprises logic to terminate at least one of:

an audible alert;

a vibrating alert.

6. The controller of claim 1, further comprising logic to respond to the alert in response to at least one of:

a predetermined motion applied to the controller;

or

a predetermined touch applied to a touch surface.

7. A computer program product comprising logic instructions stored in a non-transitory computer readable medium which, when executed by a controller, configure the controller to:

receive a notification of an incoming event; and

terminate the notification in response to at least one of;

a predetermined motion applied to the controller;

or

a predetermined touch applied to a touch surface.

8. The computer program product of claim 7, wherein the notification comprises an alert from at least one of:

a phone call;

an incoming message;

a calendaring event;

or

an application.

9. The computer program product of claim 7, wherein the logic is further configured to receive an input from at least one of:

an accelerometer;

a magnetometer;

a proximity detector;

an orientation detector;

a gyrometer;

a touch surface;

a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) device;

a WiFi device;

or

a cellular network access device.

10. The computer program product of claim 7, further comprising logic instructions stored in a non-transitory computer readable medium which, when executed by a controller, configure the controller to:

receive a termination condition during a configuration process; and

determine whether a termination condition received in response to the notification matches the termination condition received during the configuration process.

11. The computer program product of claim 7, further comprising logic instructions stored in a non-transitory computer readable medium which, when executed by a controller, configure the controller to terminate at least one of:

an audible alert;

a vibrating alert.

12. The computer program product of claim 7, further comprising logic instructions stored in a non-transitory computer readable medium which, when executed by a controller, configure the controller to respond to the alert in response to at least one of:

a predetermined motion applied to the controller;

or

a predetermined touch applied to a touch surface.

13. An electronic device, comprising:

a processor; and

a controller, comprising;

logic, at least partially including hardware logic, configured to;

receive a notification of an incoming event; and

terminate the notification in response to at least one of;

a predetermined motion applied to the controller;

or

a predetermined touch applied to a touch surface.

14. The electronic device of claim 13, wherein the notification comprises an alert from at least one of:

a phone call;

an incoming message;

a calendaring event;

or

an application.

15. The electronic device of claim 13, wherein the logic is further configured to receive an input from at least one of:

an accelerometer;

a magnetometer;

a proximity detector;

an orientation detector;

a gyrometer;

a touch surface;

a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) device;

a WiFi device;

or

a cellular network access device.

16. The electronic device of claim 13, wherein the logic is further configured to:

receive a termination condition during a configuration process; and

determine whether a termination condition received in response to the notification matches the termination condition received during the configuration process.

17. The electronic device of claim 16, wherein the logic to terminate the notification comprises logic to terminate at least one of:

an audible alert;

a vibrating alert.

18. The electronic device of claim 13, further comprising logic to respond to the alert in response to at least one of:

a predetermined motion applied to the controller;

or

a predetermined touch applied to a touch surface.

21. The method of claim 18, further comprising receiving an input from at least one of:

an accelerometer;

a magnetometer;

a proximity detector;

an orientation detector;

a gyrometer;

a touch surface;

a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) device;

a WiFi device;

or

a cellular network access device.

22. The method of claim 18, further comprising:

receiving a termination condition during a configuration process; and

determining whether a termination condition received in response to the notification matches the termination condition received during the configuration process.

23. The method of claim 22, further comprising terminating at least one of:

an audible alert;

a vibrating alert.

19. A method, comprising:

receiving, in a controller, a notification of an incoming event; and

terminating the notification in response to at least one of;

a predetermined motion applied to the controller;
