Abstract
Methods, computer program products, and systems are presented. The method computer program products, and systems can include, for instance: determining that a location based event has occurred, the location based event pertaining to a certain user computer device; identifying, based on the determining, a notification for sending to the certain user computer device, wherein the notification has an associated destination location; examining an activity level of the destination location; and based on the activity level exceeding a threshold, providing one or more output.
Claims24
A method comprising:
- determining that a location based event has occurred, the location based event pertaining to a certain user computer device;
- identifying, based on the determining, a notification for sending to the certain user computer device, wherein the notification has an associated destination location;
- examining an activity level of the destination location;
- and
- based on the activity level exceeding a threshold, providing one or more output, wherein the one or more output includes an output to suppress sending the notification, and an output to initiate an alternate process, the alternate process including sending an alternate notification to the certain user computer device, the alternate notification prompting the certain user to travel to a second destination location that is spaced apart from the destination location.

A computer program product comprising:
- a computer readable storage medium readable by one or more processing circuit and storing instructions for execution by one or more processor for performing a method comprising:
- determining that a location based event has occurred, the location based event pertaining to a certain user computer device;
- identifying, based on the determining, a notification for sending to the certain user computer device, wherein the notification has an associated destination location;
- examining an activity level of the destination location;
- and
- based on the activity level exceeding a threshold, providing one or more output, wherein the one or more output includes an output to suppress sending the notification, and an output to initiate an alternate process, the alternate process including sending an alternate notification to the certain user computer device, the alternate notification prompting the certain user to travel to a second destination location that is spaced apart from the destination location.
A system comprising:
- a memory;
- at least one processor in communication with the memory;
- and
- program instructions executable by one or more processor via the memory to perform a method comprising:
- determining that a location based event has occurred, the location based event pertaining to a certain user computer device;
- identifying, based on the determining, a notification for sending to the certain user computer device, wherein the notification has an associated destination location;
- examining an activity level of the destination location;
- and
- based on the activity level exceeding a threshold, providing one or more output, wherein the one or more output includes an output to suppress sending the notification, and an output to initiate an alternate process, the alternate process including sending an alternate notification to the certain user computer device, the alternate notification prompting the certain user to travel to a second destination location that is spaced apart from the destination location.
