Abstract
In one embodiment, a method includes determining if notifications to be sent to user would benefit from being delivered by haptic stimulation under a current context. This determination may be made by accessing historical notification data of how the user previously responded to notifications in a similar context, and ranking conversion scores for each of one or more haptic-enabled delivery channels, wherein a conversion score indicates a probability of the user interacting with the notification. The most appropriate haptic message-delivery channel is selected based on the scores and historical data, and the notification is sent accordingly.
Claims20
A method comprising, by a computing device:
- accessing a notification to be sent to a user;
- determining a haptic pattern associated with the notification based at least on a sender of the notification;
- and
- sending the notification to a first haptic-enabled delivery channel for a delivery of the notification using haptic stimulation to the user's skin, wherein the applied haptic stimulation corresponds to the determined haptic pattern.
One or more computer-readable non-transitory storage media embodying software comprising instructions operable when executed to:
- access a notification to be sent to a user;
- determine a haptic pattern associated with the notification based at least on a sender of the notification;
- and
- send the notification to a first haptic-enabled delivery channel for a delivery of the notification using haptic stimulation to the user's skin, wherein the applied haptic stimulation corresponds to the determined haptic pattern.
A system comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and a memory coupled to the processors comprising instructions executable by the processors, the processors being operable when executing the instructions to:
- access a notification to be sent to a user;
- determine a haptic pattern associated with the notification based at least on a sender of the notification;
- and
- send the notification to a first haptic-enabled delivery channel for a delivery of the notification using haptic stimulation to the user's skin, wherein the applied haptic stimulation corresponds to the determined haptic pattern.
