Programmatic control of device i/o; emf quiet mode, zone, signaling, and protocol

A computer system for programmatically controlling device input/output (I/O) channels, comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a non-transitory memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the computer system to:
• store a set of control rules for managing I/O channels of a device;
• monitor sensor data and application metadata of the device;
• determine, based on the monitored sensor data and application metadata, that a control rule from the set of control rules has been triggered;
• and
• in response to determining that the control rule has been triggered, programmatically adjust at least one I/O channel of the device,
• wherein the programmatic adjustment comprises throttling the at least one I/O channel to regulate attention disruptions.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform a method for programmatically controlling device input/output (I/O) channels, the method comprising:

• receiving a set of control rules for managing I/O channels of a device;
• monitoring device sensor data and application metadata;
• determining, based on the monitored device sensor data and application metadata, that a control rule from the set of control rules has been triggered;
• and
• in response to determining that the control rule has been triggered, programmatically adjusting at least one I/O channel of the device, wherein the programmatic adjustment comprises throttling the at least one I/O channel to regulate attention disruptions.
