Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatus, for providing notifications based on third party data. In an aspect, a method includes receiving first instructions that cause a user device to render a resource that includes a first parameter value of a first parameter and display the resource and generating second instructions that cause the user device to display an action trigger prompt that is rendered with the resource and in an initial state, and wherein the action trigger prompt is rendered to augment the resource with additional content not provided by rendering of the resource according to the first instructions.
Claims9
A method, comprising:
- receiving, by a user device, data responsive to an action trigger menu displayed with a resource at the user device, wherein:
- an action trigger prompt is rendered to augment the resource with additional content not provided by rendering of the resource, and the action trigger prompt is rendered in an initial state with the resource and the user device displays the action trigger menu in response to a selection of the action trigger prompt by a user;
- the action trigger menu facilitates the input of a plurality of parameter values for an event;
- and
- the received data specifies a user defined event and an action associated with the user defined event and to be taken in response to the occurrence of the user defined event;
- storing the data specifying the user defined event and the action to be taken in response to the occurrence of the user defined event in an action trigger data store, wherein the action includes a notification to the user presented by an assistant operating on the user device;
- based on the data stored in the action trigger data store, monitoring for the occurrence of the user defined event, and in response to the occurrence of the user defined event:
- determining, by the assistant operating on the user device, whether a presentation criterion is met at the time of the occurrence of the user defined event;
- in response to determining the presentation criterion is met, presenting the notification by the assistant to the user immediately after determining the presentation criterion is met;
- and
- in response to determining the presentation criterion is not met, delaying the presenting the notification by the assistant to the user until a later time.

A user device, comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a non-transitory computer-readable medium coupled to the processor and having instructions stored thereon, which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
- receiving data responsive to an action trigger menu displayed with a resource at the user device, wherein:
- an action trigger prompt is rendered to augment the resource with additional content not provided by rendering of the resource, and the action trigger prompt is rendered in an initial state with the resource and the user device displays the action trigger menu in response to a selection of the action trigger prompt by a user;
- the action trigger menu facilitates the input of a plurality of parameter values for an event;
- and
- the received data specifies a user defined event and an action associated with the user defined event and to be taken in response to the occurrence of the user defined event;
- storing the data specifying the user defined event and the action to be taken in response to the occurrence of the user defined event in an action trigger data store, wherein the action includes a notification to the user presented by an assistant operating on the user device;
- based on the data stored in the action trigger data store, monitoring for the occurrence of the user defined event, and in response to the occurrence of the user defined event:
- determining, by the assistant operating on the user device, whether a presentation criterion is met at the time of the occurrence of the user defined event;
- in response to determining the presentation criterion is met, presenting the notification by the assistant to the user immediately after determining the presentation criterion is met;
- and
- in response to determining the presentation criterion is not met, delaying the presenting the notification by the assistant to the user until a later time.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon, which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations, comprising:
- receiving data responsive to an action trigger menu displayed with a resource at the user device, wherein:
- the resource is rendered according to first instructions provided by a provider of the resource;
- an action trigger prompt is rendered to augment the resource with additional content not provided by rendering of the resource according to the first instructions, and the action trigger prompt is rendered according to second instructions provided by a third party that is separate from the provider of the resource and is rendered in an initial state and the user device displays the action trigger menu in response to a selection of the action trigger prompt by a user;
- the action trigger menu is rendered at the user device with the resource and displayed with the resource in response to the selection of the action trigger prompt;
- the action trigger menu facilitates the input of a plurality of parameter values for an event;
- and
- the received data specifies a user defined event and an action associated with the user defined event and to be taken in response to the occurrence of the user defined event;
- and
- storing the data specifying the user defined event and the action to be taken in response to the occurrence of the user defined event in an action trigger data store.
