CROSS-DEVICE NOTIFICATIONS
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- receiving a first indication of an event detected at a first device associated with a user account;
determining one or more characteristics of the event based on the first indication of the event;
detecting whether the determined characteristics match at least one selection criterion;
automatically identifying a second device from one or more devices associated with the user account; and
providing, if the determined characteristics match the at least one selection criterion, the first indication of the event to the second device associated with the user account, wherein the provided first indication of the event is displayed at the second device to allow management of the event at the first device from the second device.

Abstract
Techniques for cross-device notifications are provided. An example method includes receiving a first indication of an event detected at a first device associated with a user account, determining one or more characteristics of the event based on the first indication of the event, detecting whether the determined characteristics match at least one selection criterion, automatically identifying a second device from one or more devices associated with the user account, and providing, if the determined characteristics match the at least one selection criterion, the first indication of the event to the second device associated with the user account, where the provided first indication of the event is displayed at the second device to allow management of the event at the first device from the second device.

8. A machine-readable medium comprising instructions stored therein, which when executed by a processor, causes the processor to perform operations comprising:
-
detecting an event at a first device associated with a user account; providing a first indication of the event to a server, wherein when characteristics of the detected event match at least one selection criterion, the server provides the first indication of the event to a second device associated with the user account; receiving a second indication including an action that is to be performed with respect to the event detected at the first device, the second indication generated upon an interaction with the displayed first indication of the event at the second device; and managing the event at the first device based on the action. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A system comprising:
-
a memory comprising instructions; and a processor configured to execute the instructions to; receive a first indication of an event detected at a first device associated with a user account; determine one or more characteristics of the event based on the first indication of the event; detect whether the determined characteristics match at least one selection criterion; automatically identify one or more devices associated with the user account; and broadcast the first indication of the event, if the determined characteristics match the at least one selection criterion, to the one or more devices associated with the user account, wherein the provided first indication of the event is simultaneously displayed, in real time, at the one or more devices to allow management of the event at the first device from any of the one or more second devices. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22)
