1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- determining, by one or more computer processors, that a particular computing device received a message;
determining, by the one or more computer processors and based on a determination whether the particular computing device is connected to a user earpiece, whether to cause the particular computing device to present an audible notification that the particular computing device received the message; and
causing, by the one or more computer processors and responsive to determining that the particular computing device is connected to the user earpiece, the particular computing device to present the audible notification that the particular computing device received the message by way of the user earpiece,wherein the one or more computer processors are configured to prevent the particular computing device from presenting the audible notification that the particular computing device received the message by way of a speaker in communication with the particular computing device, when the particular computing device is not connected to the user earpiece, responsive to the one or more computer processors determining that the particular computing device is not connected to the user earpiece.

Abstract
A computer-implemented method of determining when an audio notification should be generated includes detecting receipt of a triggering event that occurs on a user device; generating, based on detecting, the audio notification for the triggering event; receiving, from the user device, a user voice command responding to the audio notification; and generating a response to the user voice command based on one or more of (i) information associated with the audio notification, and (ii) information associated with the user voice command.

7. A non-transitory computer-readable medium including instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations that include:
-
determining, by one or more computer processors, that a particular computing device received a message; determining, by the one or more computer processors and based on a determination whether the particular computing device is connected to a user earpiece, whether to cause the particular computing device to present an audible notification that the particular computing device received the message; and causing, by the one or more computer processors and responsive to determining that the particular computing device is connected to the user earpiece, the particular computing device to present the audible notification that the particular computing device received the message by way of the user earpiece, wherein the one or more computer processors are configured to prevent the particular computing device from presenting the audible notification that the particular computing device received the message by way of a speaker in communication with the particular computing device, when the particular computing device is not connected to the user earpiece, responsive to the one or more computer processors determining that the particular computing device is not connected to the user earpiece. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11)
