Abstract
Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for providing contextual feedback to a user of a computer system upon detection of an invasion of the computer system are provided herein. An invasion of the computer system is detected and a contextually appropriate alert is selected from a set of alerts. The alert is played immediately upon detection of the invasion so that the user is alerted to the invasion within close temporal proximity to the user's action that resulted in the invasion of the computer system. In addition, details of the invasion are logged to a diagnostic log file for later use by support personnel in repairing the computer system.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- receiving, by a computer device comprising a processing unit, a plurality of contextual alerts for storage on the computer device;
- detecting, by an invasion detector program executed by the processing unit of the computer device, an invasion of the computer device;
- and
- selecting, by the invasion detector program executed by the processing unit, based at least in part on a context of the invasion of the computer device, a contextual alert from the plurality of contextual alerts stored on the computer device to be provided to alert of the invasion of the computer device.
A computer device comprising:
- a processing unit;
- and
- a memory that stores an invasion detector program that, when executed by the processing unit, cause the processing unit to perform operations comprising
- receiving a plurality of contextual alerts for storage on the computer device,
- detecting an invasion of the computer device, and
- selecting, based at least in part on a context of the invasion of the computer device, a contextual alert from the plurality of contextual alerts stored on the computer device to be provided to alert of the invasion of the computer device.
A computer readable storage device storing an invasion detector program that, when executed by a computer device comprising a processing unit, causes the processing unit to perform operations comprising:
- receiving a plurality of contextual alerts for storage on the computer device;
- detecting an invasion of the computer device;
- and
- selecting, based at least in part on a context of the invasion of the computer device, a contextual alert from the plurality of contextual alerts stored on the computer device to be provided to alert of the invasion of the computer device.
