Abstract

In one embodiment, a server computing device receives a message indicating a current notification mode of a mobile computing device of a user. The received message comprises information from one or more sensors of the mobile computing device. The current notification mode is based at least in part on the information from the one or more sensors of the mobile computing device. The activity of the user is determined based at least in part on sensor information of the mobile computing device. The current notification mode of the mobile computing device is determined based on the user activity or the information from the one or more sensors of the mobile computing device. The server computing device determines whether to transmit a communication to the mobile computing device based on the current notification mode of the mobile computing device.

Claims22

Dependent claims

A method comprising, by a server computing device:

receiving a first message indicating a first notification mode of a mobile computing device of a user, wherein the received first message comprises information from one or more sensors of the mobile computing device of the user, and wherein the first notification mode is determined locally on the mobile computing device based at least in part on the information from the one or more sensors of the mobile computing device of the user and a custom preference set by the user;
determining an activity of the user based at least in part on the information from the one or more sensors of the mobile computing device of the user;
determining a second notification mode of the mobile computing device based on the determined activity of the user and the information from the one or more sensors of the mobile computing device of the user, wherein the second notification mode corresponds to the server computing device pushing notifications to the mobile computing device at a higher rate than the first notification mode;
sending an instruction to the mobile computing device to adjust a current notification mode of the mobile computing device according to the second notification mode;
determining an affinity score between the user and a sender of a second message to be sent to the user, wherein the affinity score indicates a level of interest of the user to the second message, wherein the level of interest is based on at least a social affinity between the user and the sender of the second message;
determining, based at least in part on the second notification mode of the mobile computing device, whether to transmit the second message to the mobile computing device by comparing the affinity score of the second message to a threshold, wherein the threshold is dynamically adjusted in real-time based on the second notification mode;
and
sending the second message in response to the affinity score being higher than the threshold.

5 more elements

One or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media embodying software that is operable when executed by a server computing device to:

receive a first message indicating a first notification mode of a mobile computing device of a user, wherein the received first message comprises information from one or more sensors of the mobile computing device of the user, and wherein the first notification mode is determined locally on the mobile computing device based at least in part on the information from the one or more sensors of the mobile computing device of the user and a custom preference set by the user;
determine an activity of the user based at least in part on the information from the one or more sensors of the mobile computing device of the user;
determine a second notification mode of the mobile computing device based on the determined activity of the user and the information from the one or more sensors of the mobile computing device of the user, wherein the second notification mode corresponds to the server computing device pushing notifications to the mobile computing device at a higher rate than the first notification mode;
send an instruction to the mobile computing device to adjust a current notification mode of the mobile computing device according to the second notification mode;
determine an affinity score between the user and a sender of a second message to be sent to the user, wherein the affinity score indicates a level of interest of the user to the second message, wherein the level of interest is based on at least a social affinity between the user and the sender of the second message;
determine, based at least in part on the second notification mode of the mobile computing device, whether to transmit the second message to the mobile computing device by comparing the affinity score of the second message to a threshold, wherein the threshold is dynamically adjusted in real-time based on the second notification mode;
and
send the second message in response to the affinity score being higher than the threshold.

5 more elements

A server computing device comprising:

one or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media embodying instructions;
one or more processors coupled to the storage media and operable to execute the instructions to:
receive a first message indicating a first notification mode of a mobile computing device of a user, wherein the received first message comprises information from one or more sensors of the mobile computing device of the user, and wherein the first notification mode is determined locally on the mobile computing device based at least in part on the information from the one or more sensors of the mobile computing device of the user and a custom preference set by the user;
determine an activity of the user based at least in part on the information from the one or more sensors of the mobile computing device of the user;
determine a second notification mode of the mobile computing device based on the determined activity of the user and the information from the one or more sensors of the mobile computing device of the user, wherein the second notification mode corresponds to the server computing device pushing notifications to the mobile computing device at a higher rate than the first notification mode;
send an instruction to the mobile computing device to adjust a current notification mode of the mobile computing device according to the second notification mode;
determine an affinity score between the user and a sender of a second message to be sent to the user, wherein the affinity score indicates a level of interest of the user to the second message, wherein the level of interest is based on at least a social affinity between the user and the sender of the second message;
determine, based at least in part on the second notification mode of the mobile computing device, whether to transmit the second message to the mobile computing device by comparing the affinity score of the second message to a threshold, wherein the threshold is dynamically adjusted in real-time based on the second notification mode;
and
send the second message in response to the affinity score being higher than the threshold.
