Claims18
A method comprising:
- determining, by a device, that at least one notification presented at the device is an unattended notification;
- discovering one or more other devices using one or more local connectivity on an initiation of a presentation of the at least one notification;
- in response to determining that the at least one notification at the device is unattended, providing, by the device, the one or more other devices with one or more mechanisms for controlling the unattended notification;
- and
- providing an indicator tag for disabling the one or more mechanisms.
An apparatus comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory including computer program code for one or more programs, the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to perform at least the following,
- determining, by a device, that at least one notification presented at the device is an unattended notification;
- discovering one or more other devices using one or more local connectivity on an initiation of a presentation of the at least one notification;
- in response to determining that the at least one notification at the device is unattended, providing, by the device, the one or more other devices with one or more mechanisms for controlling the unattended notification;
- and
- providing an indicator tag for disabling the one or more mechanisms.
A non-transitory computer program product including one or more sequences of one or more instructions which, when executed by one or more processors, cause an apparatus to at least perform the steps of:
- determining, by a device, that at least one notification presented at the device is an unattended notification;
- discovering one or more other devices using one or more local connectivity on an initiation of a presentation of the at least one notification;
- in response to determining that the at least one notification at the device is unattended, providing, by the device, the one or more other devices with one or more mechanisms for controlling the unattended notification;
- and
- providing an indicator tag for disabling the one or more mechanisms.
