Abstract
Systems, apparatuses, and methods are described for controlling vibrations output by one or more computing devices. A computing device may determine an event, and may also determine, using a camera, an image of the surroundings of the computing device. Based on an analysis of the image, the computing device may then output a tactile vibration, an audible sound, and/or a visual notification associated with the event.
Claims21
A method comprising:
- receiving, by a first computing device and from a second computing device, an indication of a suspension time period and a notification time period;
- determining, by the first computing device, an event;
- suspending, at a first time and based on the first time corresponding to the suspension time period, output of a notification associated with the event;
- and
- outputting, at a second time after the first time, and based on the second time corresponding to the notification time period, the notification associated with the event.
2 more elements
One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing instructions that, when executed, cause:
- receiving, by a first computing device and from a second computing device, an indication of a suspension time period and a notification time period;
- determining, by the first computing device, an event;
- suspending, at a first time and based on the first time coinciding-with-a-corresponding to the suspension time period, output of a notification associated with the event;
- and
- outputting, at a second time after the first time, and based on the second time corresponding to the notification time period, the notification associated with the event.
2 more elements
A first computing device comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the first computing device to:
- receive, from a second computing device, an indication of a suspension time period and a notification time period;
- determine an event;
- suspend, at a first time and based on the first time corresponding to the suspension time period, output of a notification associated with the event;
- and
- output, at a second time after the first time, and based on the second time corresponding to the notification time period, the notification associated with the event.
