Electronic Devices and Corresponding Methods for Notification Precis Presentations

An electronic device, comprising:

• a user interface;
• one or more sensors;
• a communication device;
• and
• one or more processors operable with the user interface, the one or more sensors, and the communication device;
• wherein the one or more processors, in response to the communication device receiving a notification, determine, from signals received by the one or more sensors, an attentiveness of an authorized user of the electronic device and cause the user interface to present a precis of the notification when the attentiveness of the authorized user is determined to be inattentive, and present the notification in its entirety when the attentiveness of the authorized user is determined to be attentive.

A method in an electronic device, comprising:

• determining, by one or more sensors of the electronic device, that the electronic device is being transported by a vehicle;
• determining, in response to a communication device receiving a notification, a duration required to aurally present the notification to an environment of the electronic device using a user interface;
• generating, by one or more processors, an artificial intelligence (AI)-based summary of the notification;
• aurally presenting, by the user interface, the duration required to aurally present the notification to the environment and the AI-based summary of the notification to the environment of the electronic device;
• assessing, using the one or more sensors, an interest by an authorized user of the electronic device in the notification while the AI-based summary of the notification is being presented to the environment of the electronic device;
• and
• where the one or more processors determine the authorized user is sufficiently interested in the notification, aurally presenting, by the user interface, the notification in its entirety to the environment of the electronic device.
