Abstract
For modifying a device notification, an indication module detects a user awareness indication of a device notification for a device. A notification module modifies the device notification in response to detecting the user awareness indication and concurrently maintains a notification response option.
Claims14
An apparatus comprising:
- a processor;
- a memory storing code executable by the processor to:
- detect a user awareness indication of a device notification for a device, the user awareness indication comprising identifying a user looking at the device and an increase in a filtered microphone output for the device within a sampling time interval, wherein the device notification occurs within the sampling time interval, a start of the sampling time interval precedes the device notification, and the filtered microphone output is filtered with a difference of a notification signal of the device notification;
- and
- terminate an audio portion of the device notification in response to detecting the user awareness indication and concurrently maintaining a notification response option.
2 more elements
A method comprising:
- detecting, by use of a processor, a user awareness indication of a device notification for a device, the user awareness indication comprising identifying a user looking at the device and an increase in a filtered microphone output for the device within a sampling time interval, wherein the device notification occurs within the sampling time interval, a start of the sampling time interval precedes the device notification, and the filtered microphone output is filtered with a difference of a notification signal of the device notification;
- and
- terminating an audio portion of the device notification in response to detecting the user awareness indication and concurrently maintaining a notification response option.
A program product comprising a non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing computer readable code executable by a processor to perform:
- detecting a user awareness indication of a device notification for a device, the user awareness indication comprising identifying a user looking at the device and an increase in a filtered microphone output for the device within a sampling time interval, wherein the device notification occurs within the sampling time interval, a start of the sampling time interval precedes the device notification, and the filtered microphone output is filtered with a difference of a notification signal of the device notification;
- and
- terminating an audio portion of the device notification in response to detecting the user awareness indication and concurrently maintaining a notification response option.
