First Claim
1. A mobile touchscreen computing device storing a notification selection application, the notification selection application being executable by a processor of the mobile touchscreen computing device to provide operations comprising:
- providing a user interface including a notification selection control configured to receive user selection of a notification mode from a set of notification modes including (i) a normal mode in which device notifications are enabled, (ii) a silent mode in which device notifications are disabled, and (iii) a timer mode in which device notifications are temporarily disabled until expiration of a countdown timer, the notification selection control having a mode indication for each of the normal mode, the silent mode, and the timer mode;
receiving a gesture from a first set location at the mode indication for one of the normal mode or the silent mode to a second set location at the mode indication for the timer mode to select the timer mode from the notification selection control;
starting the countdown timer based on receiving the gesture to select the timer mode;
automatically transitioning the mobile touchscreen computing device from the timer mode to the normal mode upon expiration of the countdown timer; and
wherein the gesture to select the timer mode is a swipe gesture of at least a predefined length, and wherein the notification selection application further provides operations comprising increasing an amount of time assigned to the countdown timer based on a swipe distance beyond the predefined length.

14. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a notification selection application software program, the notification selection application being executable to provide operations comprising:
providing a user interface of a mobile touchscreen computing device including a notification selection control configured to receive user selection of a notification mode from a set of notification modes including (i) a normal mode in which device notifications are enabled, (ii) a silent mode in which device notifications are disabled, and (iii) a timer mode in which device notifications are temporarily disabled until expiration of a countdown timer, the notification selection control having a mode indication for each of the normal mode, the silent mode, and the timer mode;
receiving a gesture from a first set location at the mode indication for one of the normal mode or the silent mode to a second set location at the mode indication for the timer mode to select the timer mode from the notification selection control;
starting the countdown timer based on receiving the gesture to select the timer mode;
automatically transitioning the mobile touchscreen computing device from the timer mode to the normal mode upon expiration of the countdown timer; and
wherein the gesture to select the timer mode is a swipe gesture of at least a predefined length, and wherein the notification selection application further provides operations comprising increasing an amount of time assigned to the countdown timer based on a swipe distance beyond the predefined length.- View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
