Abstract
Techniques for managing alerts are described. One or more alerts are received at the electronic device. In some embodiments, the device determines how notifications corresponding to the alerts should be output to the user.
Claims10
An electronic device that is configured to communicate with a display generation component and a non-visual output device, the electronic device comprising:
- one or more processors;
- a memory;
- and
- one or more programs, wherein the one or more programs are stored in the memory and configured to be executed by the one or more processors, the one or more programs including instructions for:
- detecting an occurrence of an event;
- outputting, via the non-visual output device, a non-visual alert corresponding to the event;
- after outputting the non-visual alert, detecting a request to display a user interface;
- in response to detecting the request to display the user interface:
- in accordance with a determination that the request to display the user interface is detected within a time threshold of outputting the non-visual alert, displaying, via the display generation component, content corresponding to the non-visual alert;
- and
- in accordance with a determination that the request to display the user interface is not detected within the time threshold of outputting the non-visual alert, forgoing displaying, via the display generation component, content corresponding to the non-visual alert.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing one or more programs configured to be executed by one or more processors of an electronic device that is in communication with a display generation component and a non-visual output device, the one or more programs including instructions for:
- detecting an occurrence of an event;
- outputting, via the non-visual output device, a non-visual alert corresponding to the event;
- after outputting the non-visual alert, detecting a request to display a user interface;
- in response to detecting the request to display the user interface:
- in accordance with a determination that the request to display the user interface is detected within a time threshold of outputting the non-visual alert, displaying, via the display generation component, content corresponding to the non-visual alert;
- and
- in accordance with a determination that the request to display the user interface is not detected within the time threshold of outputting the non-visual alert, forgoing displaying, via the display generation component, content corresponding to the non-visual alert.
A method, comprising:
- at an electronic device that is in communication with a display generation component and a non-visual output device:
- detecting an occurrence of an event;
- outputting, via the non-visual output device, a non-visual alert corresponding to the event;
- after outputting the non-visual alert, detecting a request to display a user interface;
- in response to detecting the request to display the user interface:
- in accordance with a determination that the request to display the user interface is detected within a time threshold of outputting the non-visual alert, displaying, via the display generation component, content corresponding to the non-visual alert;
- and
- in accordance with a determination that the request to display the user interface is not detected within the time threshold of outputting the non-visual alert, forgoing displaying, via the display generation component, content corresponding to the non-visual alert.
