Communicating normative output settings of computing devices of users within a social locale
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- accessing device output settings information of a plurality of computing devices operating in a locale, wherein the device output settings information comprises current output settings of each of the plurality of computing devices;
determining a normative of device output settings of the plurality of computing device operating in the locale using the accessed device output settings information, wherein determining the normative of device output settings comprises determining a majority output setting of at least one type of device output setting of the plurality of computing devices operating in the locale;
generating a notification message which comprises the normative of device output settings of the plurality of computing device operating in the locale; and
sending the notification message to at least one computing device of the plurality of computing devices operating in the locale,wherein the notification message is configured to enable a determination as to whether or not a device output setting of the at least one computing device complies with the normative of device output settings of the plurality of computing device operating in the locale.

Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for user notification of normative device output settings of a plurality of mobile computing devices operating in locale. For example, a system includes a service provider, and a computing device. The computing device transmits its current locale and device output settings information to the service provider. The service provider utilizes such information to determine a normative of device output settings of registered computing devices operating in the locale, and generates a notification message that is sent to the computing device, which comprises the normative of device output settings in the locale. The computing device presents the notification message to a user of the computing device so that the user can determine whether or not a device output setting of the computing device complies with the normative of device output settings in the locale.

9. A method implemented by a computing device, comprising:
-
transmitting device locale information to a server, wherein the device locale information indicates a locale in which the computing device is currently operating; transmitting device output settings information of the computing device to the server; receiving a notification message from the server, wherein the notification message comprises information with regard to a normative of device output settings of a plurality of computing devices operating in the locale, as determined by the server, wherein the normative of device output settings of the plurality of computing device operating in the locale indicates a majority output setting of at least one type of device output setting of the plurality of computing devices operating in the locale, as determined by the server; and presenting the notification message to a user of the computing device, wherein the notification message is presented in a manner that allows the user to determine whether or not a device output setting of the computing device complies with the normative of device output settings of the plurality of computing devices operating in the locale, as determined by the server. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)
