Do-not-disturb modes
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
- providing for display a user interface identifying a mobile device of a user and at least one ancillary device belonging to the user, and permitting the user to select communications services to be temporarily disabled by a server in response to activation of a do-not-disturb mode and applied across the mobile device of the user and the at least one ancillary device belonging to the user;
receiving, by the server from the mobile device of the user, a do-not-disturb notification regarding communications features associated with the mobile device and accessible on the at least one ancillary device indicating that the mobile device has activated the do-not-disturb mode in response to a determination that a physical orientation of a display screen of the mobile device is stationary downwardly facing; and
causing by the server, when the mobile device has activated the do-not-disturb mode in response to the determination of the physical orientation of the mobile device, at least one communications feature from among the communications services selected by the user and accessible on the at least one ancillary device belonging to the user to be temporarily disabled by the server based on a selection from the user interface,wherein the at least one communications feature is not accessible on the mobile device.

Abstract
Methods related to do-not-disturb modes activated by a mobile device are provided. An example method may include receiving a do-not-disturb notification by a mobile device indicating that the mobile device is in a do-not-disturb mode. The method may further include temporarily disabling, when the mobile device is in the do-not-disturb mode, causing at least one communications feature associated with the mobile device and one or more additional communications features associated with one or more ancillary devices to be temporarily disabled. Another example method may include detecting whether a mobile device is in one of a stationary display screen face down state or a moving display screen face down state, and, when the mobile device is in at least one of the stationary display screen face down state or the moving display screen face down state, causing a first communications feature associated with the mobile device to be temporarily disabled and sending a do-not-disturb notification to a server. Systems and computer-readable media are also described.

1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
-
providing for display a user interface identifying a mobile device of a user and at least one ancillary device belonging to the user, and permitting the user to select communications services to be temporarily disabled by a server in response to activation of a do-not-disturb mode and applied across the mobile device of the user and the at least one ancillary device belonging to the user; receiving, by the server from the mobile device of the user, a do-not-disturb notification regarding communications features associated with the mobile device and accessible on the at least one ancillary device indicating that the mobile device has activated the do-not-disturb mode in response to a determination that a physical orientation of a display screen of the mobile device is stationary downwardly facing; and causing by the server, when the mobile device has activated the do-not-disturb mode in response to the determination of the physical orientation of the mobile device, at least one communications feature from among the communications services selected by the user and accessible on the at least one ancillary device belonging to the user to be temporarily disabled by the server based on a selection from the user interface, wherein the at least one communications feature is not accessible on the mobile device. - View Dependent Claims (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11)

12. A computer-implemented method comprising:
-
providing for display a user interface identifying a mobile device of a user and at least one ancillary device belonging to the user, and permitting the user to select communications services to be temporarily disabled by a server in response to activation of a do-not-disturb mode and applied across the mobile device of the user and the at least one ancillary device belonging to the user; detecting whether the mobile device of the user is in one of a stationary display screen face down state or a moving display screen face down state; and when the mobile device is in at least one of the stationary display screen face down state or the moving display screen face down state, sending a do-not-disturb notification regarding communications features associated with the mobile device and accessible on the at least one ancillary device to the server from the mobile device causing a first communications feature from among the communications services and associated with the mobile device to be temporarily disabled by the server, wherein sending the do-not-disturb notification to the server causes an additional communications feature selected by the user and accessible on the at least one ancillary device belonging to the user to be temporarily disabled by the server based on a selection from the user interface, and wherein the additional communications feature is not accessible on the mobile device. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15)

16. A system comprising:
-
one or more processors; and a memory including instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to; provide for display a user interface identifying a mobile device of a user and at least one ancillary device belonging to the user, and permitting the user to select communications services to be temporarily disabled by a server in response to activation of a do-not-disturb mode and applied across the mobile device of the user and the at least one ancillary device belonging to the user; receive, by the server from the mobile device of the user, a do-not-disturb notification regarding communications features associated with the mobile device and accessible on the at least one ancillary device indicating that the mobile device has activated the do-not-disturb mode in response to a determination that a physical orientation of a display screen of the mobile device is stationary downwardly facing; and causing by the server, when the mobile device has activated the do-not-disturb mode in response to the determination of the physical orientation of the mobile device, at least one communications feature from among the communications services selected by the user and accessible on the at least one ancillary device belonging to the user to be temporarily disabled by the user based on a selection from the user interface, wherein the at least one communications feature is not accessible on the mobile device.

17. A non-transitory machine-readable medium comprising instructions stored therein, which when executed by a machine, cause the machine to perform operations, the machine-readable medium comprising:
-
instructions for providing for display a user interface identifying a mobile device of the user and at least one ancillary device belonging to the user, and permitting the user to select communications services to be temporarily disabled by a server in response to activation of a do-not-disturb mode and applied across the mobile device of the user and the at least one ancillary device belonging to the user; instructions for receiving, by the server from the mobile device of the user, a do-not-disturb notification regarding communications features associated with the mobile device and accessible on the at least one ancillary device indicating that the mobile device has activated the do-not-disturb mode in response to a determination that a physical orientation of a display screen of the mobile device is stationary downwardly facing; and instructions for causing by the server, when the mobile device has activated the do-not-disturb mode in response to the determination of the physical orientation of the mobile device, at least some communications selected by the user to the at least one ancillary device belonging to the user to be temporarily suspended by the server based on a selection from the user interface, wherein the at least some communications are related to a communications feature from among the communications services accessible on the at least one ancillary device, and wherein the at least some communications are not accessible on the mobile device.
