Abstract
Techniques for notification handling based on identity and physical presence are described and may be implemented to determine whether to route a notification from a first device (e.g., a mobile device) to a second device (e.g., a display device) for output at the second device. Generally, the described implementations utilize sensor data captured at a physical location to detect and/or identify persons present at the physical location and to determine whether to route notifications between devices based on the detected persons/identities.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- determining that a first device receives a notification while content is being communicated from the first device to a second device for output at the second device;
- receiving, at the first device, sensor data that includes state conditions for a physical environment in which one or more of the first device or the second device is present;
- detecting, from the sensor data, one or more identities for one or more persons detected from the sensor data;
- identifying, based on the one or more identities, a notification profile that specifies one or more parameters for handling a notification;
- and
- determining, by the first device, whether to deliver the notification to the second device based on the notification profile.
A mobile device comprising:
- a sensor system including one or more sensors;
- and
- a notification module implemented at least in part in hardware of the mobile device to:
- receive at the mobile device a notification while content is being communicated from the mobile device to an external display device for output at the external display device;
- detect, based on sensor data collected by the sensor system, one or more identities for one or more persons detected from the sensor data;
- identify, based on the one or more identities, a notification profile that specifies one or more parameters for handling a notification;
- and
- determine, based on the notification profile, whether to deliver the notification for output by the external display device.
A system comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- one or more computer-readable storage media storing instructions that are executable by the one or more processors to:
- receive at a mobile device a notification while content is communicated from the mobile device to an external display device for output at the external display device;
- detect, based on sensor data collected by a sensor system, physical presence of one or more persons in proximity to the mobile device;
- identify, based on the physical presence of one or more persons, a notification profile that specifies one or more parameters for handling the notification;
- and
- determine, based on the one or more parameters, whether to deliver the notification for output by the external display device.
