Context-aware notifications
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- receiving a first notification;
analyzing first image data to determine that a specified object is within a first specified distance from a display;
presenting visual data associated with the first notification via the display;
receiving a second notification;
analyzing second image data to determine that the specified object is between the first specified distance and a second specified distance from the display;
presenting first aural data associated with the second notification at a first volume;
receiving a third notification;
analyzing third image data to determine that the specified object is at least the second specified distance from the display; and
presenting second aural data associated with the third notification at a second volume greater than the first volume.

Abstract
Systems and approaches are provided for presenting incoming notifications to a computing device based on a determined context of the computing device. Various sensors of the device can be used to determine the context of the device with respect to a user, the state of the device itself, or the context of the device with respect to the environment in which the device is situated. The user can then be informed of received notifications in a manner likely to get the user'"'"'s attention while not being overly obtrusive to the user or others within the vicinity of the user.

11. A system, comprising:
-
one or more processors; a display; memory including instructions that, upon execution by the one or more processors, cause the system to; receive a first electronic message; determine that a specified object is within a first specified distance from a display; present visual data associated with the first electronic message via the display; receive a second electronic message; determine that the specified object is between the first specified distance and a second specified distance from the display; present first aural data associated with the second electronic message at a first volume; receive a third electronic message; determine that the specified object is at least the second specified distance from the display; and present second aural data associated with the third electronic message at a second volume greater than the first volume. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15)
