Notification control through brain monitoring of end user concentration
First Claim
1. A method for message notification management through brain monitoring of end user concentration, the method comprising:
- receiving neurofeedback for an end user through an interface for a brain monitoring system;
comparing the neurofeedback to a threshold level of brain activity indicating a degree of concentration of the end user; and
,suppressing message notifications for messages in a messaging system responsive to the neurofeedback exceeding the threshold level of brain activity, but otherwise permitting message notifications for messages in the messaging system.

7. A messaging data processing system comprising:
-
a messaging system executing in memory by a processor of a host computing device; a brain activity monitoring system coupled to the messaging system; and
,message suppression logic coupled to the messaging system and the brain activity monitoring system, the logic comprising program code that when executed by the processor compares neurofeedback received from the brain activity monitoring system to a threshold level of brain activity indicating a degree of concentration and suppresses message notifications for messages in a messaging system responsive to the neurofeedback exceeding the threshold level of brain activity, but otherwise permits message notifications for messages in the messaging system. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13)
