Abstract

A system includes determination to display a message to a user, determination of a length of the message, determination of a reading speed associated with the user, determination of a finite duration based on the length of the message and the reading speed, and display of the message to the user on the display device for the finite duration.

display the message to the user on the display device for the finite duration.

2. A system according to claim 1, wherein the processor is further to execute the processor-executable process steps to cause the system to:

determine to display a second message to the user;

determine a second length of the second message, the second length different from the first length;

determine a second finite duration based on the second length and the reading speed, the second finite duration different from the first finite duration; and

display the second message to the user on the display device for the second finite duration.

3. A system according to claim 1, wherein the processor is further to execute the processor-executable process steps to cause the system to:

display the second message to the second user on the display device for the second finite duration.

4. A system according to claim 1, wherein the processor is further to execute the processor-executable process steps to cause the system to:

change the reading speed associated with the user;

determine to display a second message to the user;

determine a second length of the second message, the second length different from the first length;

determine a second finite duration based on the second length and the changed reading speed; and

display the second message to the user on the display device for the second finite duration.

5. A system according to claim 4, wherein change of the reading speed comprises:

detect a user interaction with the displayed message; and

change of the reading speed based on the user interaction.

6. A system according to claim 5, wherein detection of the user interaction with the displayed message comprises:

detection of a user command to close a window displaying the message.

7. A system according to claim 5, wherein detection of the user interaction with the displayed message comprises:

detection of a user command to continue to display the window displaying the message.

8. A computer-implemented method comprising:
