Abstract
The present disclosure generally relates to implementing an operational safety mode that manages the output of notifications at an electronic device when a user of the device is operating a vehicle.
Claims48
A electronic device, comprising:
- a display;
- one or more processors;
- memory;
- and
- one or more programs, wherein the one or more programs are stored in the memory and configured to be executed by the one or more processors, the one or more programs including instructions for:
- detecting one or more contextual parameters;
- in accordance with the one or more contextual parameters satisfying operational safety mode initiation criteria, including a criterion that is satisfied when the contextual parameters are indicative of the electronic device being situated within an operating motor vehicle, initiating an operational safety mode;
- and
- while the device is in the operational safety mode:
- receiving a notification;
- in accordance with a determination that the notification satisfies a set of notification output criteria, causing output corresponding to the notification;
- and
- in accordance with a determination that the notification does not satisfy the set of notification output criteria, forgoing causing output corresponding to the notification,
- wherein the set of notification output criteria includes a criterion that is satisfied when the notification corresponds to a communication from a contact associated with a calendar event that coincides with a window of time in which the device is in the operational safety mode.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing one or more programs configured to be executed by one or more processors of an electronic device with a touch-sensitive display, the one or more programs including instructions for:
- detecting one or more contextual parameters;
- in accordance with the one or more contextual parameters satisfying operational safety mode initiation criteria, including a criterion that is satisfied when the contextual parameters are indicative of the electronic device being situated within an operating motor vehicle, initiating an operational safety mode;
- and
- while the device is in the operational safety mode:
- receiving a notification;
- in accordance with a determination that the notification satisfies a set of notification output criteria, causing output corresponding to the notification;
- and
- in accordance with a determination that the notification does not satisfy the set of notification output criteria, forgoing causing output corresponding to the notification,
- wherein the set of notification output criteria includes a criterion that is satisfied when the notification corresponds to a communication from a contact associated with a calendar event that coincides with a window of time in which the device is in the operational safety mode.

A method comprising:
- at an electronic device with a display:
- detecting one or more contextual parameters;
- in accordance with the one or more contextual parameters satisfying operational safety mode initiation criteria, including a criterion that is satisfied when the contextual parameters are indicative of the electronic device being situated within an operating motor vehicle, initiating an operational safety mode;
- and
- while the device is in the operational safety mode:
- receiving a notification;
- in accordance with a determination that the notification satisfies a set of notification output criteria, causing output corresponding to the notification;
- and
- in accordance with a determination that the notification does not satisfy the set of notification output criteria, forgoing causing output corresponding to the notification,
- wherein the set of notification output criteria includes a criterion that is satisfied when the notification corresponds to a communication from a contact associated with a calendar event that coincides with a window of time in which the device is in the operational safety mode.
