Abstract
A computer-implemented method of determining when an audio notification should be generated includes detecting receipt of a triggering event that occurs on a user device; generating, based on detecting, the audio notification for the triggering event; receiving, from the user device, a user voice command responding to the audio notification; and generating a response to the user voice command based on one or more of (i) information associated with the audio notification, and (ii) information associated with the user voice command.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- detecting a notification condition, the notification condition comprising an event that occurred on a client device with which a server is configured to communicate;
- identifying a first application that is stored at the client device, wherein the first application is configured to generate data for rendering a first notification message related to the notification condition;
- generating the first notification message for the notification condition, the first notification message comprising one or more attributes, the one or more attributes at least specifying how the first notification message is to be presented by the first application at the client device;
- detecting a conflict between transmittal of the first notification message at a time that is concurrent with transmittal of a second notification message, wherein a second application is stored at the client device and is configured to generate data for rendering the second notification message and the first application differs from the second application;
- applying one or more conflict rules to the first notification message and the second notification message;
- selecting, based on application of the one or more conflict rules, the first notification message for transmittal to the client device;
- transmitting the first notification message to the client device;
- receiving, from the client device, a response to the first notification message, the response comprising data corresponding to audio input to the client device;
- and
- performing an action specific to the first application based on the response.

One or more non-transitory machine-readable storage media storing instructions that are executable by one or more processing devices to perform operations comprising:
- detecting a notification condition, the notification condition comprising an event that occurred on a client device that is configured for communication with the one or more processing devices;
- identifying a first application that is stored at the client device, wherein the first application is configured to generate data for rendering a first notification message related to the notification condition;
- generating the first notification message for the notification condition, the first notification message comprising one or more attributes, the one or more attributes at least specifying how the first notification message is to be presented by the first application at the client device;
- detecting a conflict between transmittal of the first notification message at a time that is concurrent with transmittal of a second notification message, wherein a second application is stored at the client device and is configured to generate data for rendering the second notification message and the first application differs from the second application;
- applying one or more conflict rules to the first notification message and the second notification message;
- selecting, based on application of the one or more conflict rules, the first notification message for transmittal to the client device;
- transmitting the first notification message to the client device;
- receiving, from the client device, a response to the first notification message, the response comprising data corresponding to audio input to the client device;
- and
- performing an action specific to the first application based on the response.

An electronic system comprising:
- one or more processing devices;
- and
- one or more non-transitory machine-readable storage media storing instructions that are executable by the one or more processing devices to perform operations comprising:
- detecting a notification condition, the notification condition comprising an event that occurred on a client device that is configured for communication with the one or more processing devices;
- identifying a first application that is stored at the client device, wherein the first application is configured to generate data for rendering a first notification message related to the notification condition;
- generating the first notification message for the notification condition, the first notification message comprising one or more attributes, the one or more attributes at least specifying how the first notification message is to be presented by the first application at the client device;
- detecting a conflict between transmittal of the first notification message at a time that is concurrent with transmittal of a second notification message, wherein a second application is stored at the client device and is configured to generate data for rendering the second notification message and the first application differs from the second application;
- applying one or more conflict rules to the first notification message and the second notification message;
- selecting, based on application of the one or more conflict rules, the first notification message for transmittal to the client device;
- transmitting the first notification message to the client device;
- receiving, from the client device, a response to the first notification message, the response comprising data corresponding to audio input to the client device;
- and
- performing an action specific to the first application based on the response.
