Abstract

One embodiment provides a method, including: displaying, on a display device, at least one notification; detecting, at an electronic device, a location of user gaze associated with the location of the at least one notification; determining, using a secondary detection, if a secondary input is detected; performing, based on the determining, at least one action. Other aspects are described and claimed.

Claims

1. A method, comprising:

displaying, on a display device, at least one notification;

detecting, at an electronic device, a location of user gaze associated with the location of the at least one notification;

determining, using a secondary detection, if a secondary input is detected;

performing, based on the determining, at least one action.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the secondary detection is a detection of voice input.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein:

the at least one notification comprises two or more notifications; and

the detecting comprises determining, based on the location of the user gaze, which of the two or more notifications is association with the location of the user gaze.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the secondary detection is a detection of the location of the user gaze.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the at least one action comprises sending a communication.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the at least one action comprises opening a software application.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein the secondary detection is a detection of facial manipulation input.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein the secondary detection is triggered by the location of user gaze being focused on an image on the display device selected from a group consisting of:

the notification, a predetermined display location, and an icon.

9. The method of claim 1, wherein the determining determines no secondary input is detected;

and

wherein the at least one action is a dismissal of the notification.

10. The method of claim 1, wherein properties of the notification are based on a factor selected from a group consisting of:

user selection, third party application preference, and current device task.

11. An information handling device, comprising:

a display device;

a sensor;

a processor;

a memory device that stores instructions executable by the processor to;

display at least one notification on the display device;

detect using the sensor a location of user gaze associated with the location of the at least one notification;

determine, using a secondary detection, if a secondary input is detected;

perform, based on the determining, at least one action.

12. The information handling device of claim 11, wherein the secondary detection is a detection of voice input.

13. The information handling device of claim 11, wherein:

the at least one notification comprises two or more notifications; and

the detecting comprises determining, based on the location of the user gaze, which of the two or more notifications is association with the location of the user gaze.

14. The information handling device of claim 11, wherein the secondary detection is a detection of the location of the user gaze.

15. The information handling device of claim 11, wherein the at least one action comprises sending a communication.

16. The information handling device of claim 11, wherein the at least one action comprises opening a software application.

17. The information handling device of claim 11, wherein the secondary detection is a detection of facial manipulation input.

18. The information handling device of claim 11, wherein the secondary detection is triggered by the location of user gaze being focused on an image on the display device selected from a group consisting of:

the notification, a predetermined display location, and an icon.

19. The information handling device of claim 11, wherein the determining determines no secondary input is detected;

and

wherein the at least one action is a dismissal of the notification.

20. A product, comprising:

a storage device having code stored therewith, the code being executable by the processor and comprising;

code that displays, on a display device, at least one notification;

code that detects, at an electronic device, a location of user gaze associated with the location of the at least one notification;

code that determines, using a secondary detection, if a secondary input is detected;

code that performs, based on the determining, at least one action.
