Abstract

A method for processing an event notification includes recognizing an event to be indicated via a mobile apparatus, determining whether a default notification scheme for the event is prohibited by a notification setting of the mobile apparatus, and, if the default notification scheme for the event is prohibited by the notification setting of the mobile apparatus, determining a modified notification scheme for the event and notifying the event according to the modified notification scheme.

Claims

1. A method for processing an event notification, comprising:

recognizing an event to be indicated via a mobile apparatus;

determining whether a default notification scheme for the event is prohibited by a notification setting of the mobile apparatus; and

if the default notification scheme for the event is prohibited by the notification setting of the mobile apparatus, determining a modified notification scheme for the event and notifying the event according to the modified notification scheme.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the modified notification scheme for the event comprises changing a notification time of the default notification scheme or changing the default notification scheme to another notification scheme.

3. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

determining an execution status of the mobile apparatus; and

determining that the default notification scheme for the event is prohibited if the execution status of the mobile apparatus corresponds to the notification setting.

4. The method of claim 3, wherein the execution status of the mobile apparatus comprises an execution of a specific type of content or an execution of a specific application.

5. The method of claim 3, further comprising:

determining a type of content executed by the mobile apparatus,

wherein the default notification scheme for the event is prohibited according to the type of the content.

6. The method of claim 3, further comprising:

determining a remaining playback time of content executed by the mobile apparatus; and

delaying a notification time of the default notification scheme according to the remaining playback time of the content.

7. The method of claim 6, wherein the notification time of the default notification scheme is delayed if the remaining playback time of the content is less than a threshold, and

the default notification scheme is changed to another notification scheme if the remaining playback time of the content is greater than or equal to the threshold.

8. The method of claim 3, further comprising:

determining an application executed by the mobile apparatus,

wherein the default notification scheme for the event is prohibited according to the executed application.

9. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

determining sender information associated with the event,

wherein the default notification scheme for the event is prohibited according to the sender information.

10. The method of claim 9, wherein the event comprises a receipt of a message from a sender corresponding to the sender information, and

the default notification scheme for the event is prohibited according to an importance value of the sender.

11. The method of claim 1, wherein the event comprises at least one of an incoming call, a receipt of a message, a system state change, an alarm, and a battery low alert.

12. A method for processing an event notification, comprising:

recognizing an event to be indicated via a mobile apparatus;

determining an execution status of the mobile apparatus;

determining whether a default notification scheme for the event is prohibited for the execution status of the mobile apparatus; and

if the default notification scheme for the event is prohibited for the execution status of the mobile apparatus, determining a modified notification scheme for the event and notifying the event according to the modified notification scheme.

13. A mobile apparatus to process an event notification, comprising:

a non-transitory storage device comprising executable instructions which, when executed by one or more processors, causes the one or more processors to perform;

recognizing an event to be indicated via the mobile apparatus;

determining whether a default notification scheme for the event is prohibited by a notification setting of the mobile apparatus; and

if the default notification scheme for the event is prohibited by the notification setting of the mobile apparatus, determining a modified notification scheme for the event and notifying the event according to the modified notification scheme.

14. The mobile apparatus of claim 13, wherein the modified notification scheme for the event comprises changing a notification time of the default notification scheme or changing the default notification scheme to another notification scheme.

15. The mobile apparatus of claim 13, wherein the one or more processors further performs:

determining an execution status of the mobile apparatus; and

determining that the default notification scheme for the event is prohibited if the execution status of the mobile apparatus corresponds to the notification setting.

16. The mobile apparatus of claim 15, wherein the execution status of the mobile apparatus comprises an execution of a specific type of content or an execution of a specific application.

17. The mobile apparatus of claim 15, wherein the one or more processors further performs determining a type of content executed by the mobile apparatus,

wherein the default notification scheme for the event is prohibited according to the type of the content.

18. The mobile apparatus of claim 15, wherein the one or more processors further performs:

determining a remaining playback time of content executed by the mobile apparatus; and

delaying a notification time of the default notification scheme according to the remaining playback time of the content.

19. The mobile apparatus of claim 18, wherein the notification time of the default notification scheme is delayed if the remaining playback time of the content is less than a threshold, and

the default notification scheme is changed to another notification scheme if the remaining playback time of the content is greater than or equal to the threshold.

20. The mobile apparatus of claim 15, wherein the one or more processors further performs determining an application executed by the mobile apparatus,

wherein the default notification scheme for the event is prohibited according to the executed application.

21. The mobile apparatus of claim 13, wherein the one or more processors further performs determining sender information associated with the event,

wherein the default notification scheme for the event is prohibited according to the sender information.

22. The mobile apparatus of claim 21, wherein the event comprises a receipt of a message from a sender corresponding to the sender information, and

the default notification scheme for the event is prohibited according to an importance value of the sender.
