Abstract
A context-aware alert system including a hardware-based processing unit and a non-transitory computer-readable storage device. The storage device includes a deliberation module configured to, when executed by the hardware-based processing unit, determine a customized alert notification for use in notifying a system user of the alert condition. The notification is determined based on alert-condition input data and context-input data. The technology also includes the storage device, separately, and methods of using the system or the device are also described.

14. A non-transitory computer-readable storage device comprising a module configured to, when executed by a hardware-based processing unit:
-
obtain notification-response data indicating how a vehicle user responded to prior presentation of a past notification to alert the vehicle user of a past alert condition; obtain present alert-condition input data indicating a present alert condition present at an apparatus; determine that the present alert condition is equivalent or similar to the past alert condition, yielding a common-alert-condition determination; and determine, based on the notification-response data and the common-alert-condition determination, a manner by which to modify the cast notification, or determine, or a present notification distinct from the past notification, yielding a customized alert notification for being delivered by a tangible interface to notify the vehicle user of the present alert condition in a manner distinct from a manner of the past notification in effort to improve the likelihood that the vehicle user will act appropriately concerning the present alert condition. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28)

29. A non-transitory computer-readable storage device comprising a module configured to, when executed by a hardware-based processing unit:
-
obtain notification-response data indicating how a vehicle user responded to prior presentation of a past notification to alert the vehicle user of a past alert condition; obtain past environmental context data indicating a past environmental context existing before or during the past alert condition; obtain present alert-condition input data indicating a present alert condition present at an apparatus; obtain present environmental context input data indicating a present environmental context; determine that the present alert condition is equivalent or similar to the past alert condition and/or that the present environmental context is equivalent to or similar to the past environmental context, yielding a commonality determination; and determine, based on the notification-response data and the common-alert-condition determination, a manner by which to modify the past notification, or determine, or a present notification distinct from the past notification, yielding a customized alert notification for being delivered by a tangible interface to notify the vehicle user of the present alert condition in a manner distinct from a manner of the past notification in effort to improve the likelihood that the vehicle user will act appropriately concerning the present alert condition. - View Dependent Claims (30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37)

38. A non-transitory computer-readable storage device comprising a module configured to, when executed by a hardware-based processing unit:
-
obtain alert-condition input data indicating an alert condition present at a vehicle; obtain environmental context input data indicating a local component of the apparatus creating, during the alert condition, a noise that is or may be distracting a vehicle user; and determine, based on the alert-condition input data and the environmental context input data, a manner by which to adjust the local component to reduce an amount noise produced by the apparatus component to improve the likelihood that the vehicle user will act appropriately concerning the alert condition. - View Dependent Claims (39)
