Abstract

An electronic device may be provided that includes logic, at least partially implemented in hardware, to detect an occurrence of a blocking instance at the electronic device, and store information related to an event received at the electronic device, the event received during the blocking instance, in response to the occurrence of the blocking instance at the electronic device.

Claims

18. An electronic device comprising:

means for determining a blocking instance based on determined audible speech in an area around the electronic device;

means for storing information related to an event received at the electronic device, the event received during the blocking instance, in response to the determination of the blocking instance based on determined audible speech in the area around the electronic device;

means for delaying a notification of the received event;

means for detecting an end of the audible speech in the area around the electronic device; and

means for providing the notification of the received event in response to the detected end of the audible speech in the area around the electronic device.

27. The electronic device of claim 18, further comprising:

means for assigning priority to each of a plurality of received events during the blocking instance, and the means for storing to store information relating to each of the received events with the corresponding assigned priority, and the means for providing to provide a plurality of notifications in a specific order based on a stored priority order of the plurality of received events.

19-20. -20. (canceled)

21. The electronic device of claim 1, wherein the logic further to:

assign priority to each of a plurality of received events during the blocking instance, and store information relating to each of the received events with the corresponding assigned priority, and providing the notification includes providing a plurality of notifications in a specific order based on a stored priority order of the plurality of received events.

22. The electronic device of claim 21, wherein the priority is based on importance of a sender of the received event.

23. The electronic device of claim 21, wherein the priority is based on urgency of a message.

24. The electronic device of claim 21, wherein the priority is based on frequency of repetition.

25. The method of claim 12, further comprising:

assign priority to each of a plurality of received events during the blocking instance, and store information relating to each of the received events with the corresponding assigned priority, and providing the notification includes providing a plurality of notifications in a specific order based on a stored priority order of the plurality of received events.

26. The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 15, comprising instructions that when executed cause the processor to:

assign priority to each of a plurality of received events during the blocking instance, and store information relating to each of the received events with the corresponding assigned priority, and providing the notification includes providing a plurality of notifications in a specific order based on a stored priority order of the plurality of received events.
