Abstract
A recipient communications device associated with a vehicle computing system (VCS) may be configured to receive, over a communications network, an incoming communication from a sender communications device, identify a notification type to provide based on a message directive provided by the sender device, retrieve notification settings associated with the notification type, and perform a notification of receipt of the incoming communication using a VCS user interface according to the notification settings.
Claims17
A system comprising:
- a recipient communications device, associated with a vehicle computing system (VCS), configured to:
- receive, over a communications network, an incoming communication and a message directive specific to the incoming communication indicating a notification type, each provided in separate messages from a sender communications device,
- retrieve notification settings associated with the notification type responsive to the message directive being less than a predetermined amount of time old, and
- perform a notification of receipt of the incoming communication using a VCS user interface according to the notification settings.
A method comprising:
- receiving, by a recipient communications device over a communications network, an incoming communication and a message directive specific to the incoming communication indicating a notification type, each provided in separate messages from a sender communications device;
- identifying, by the recipient communications device, a notification type to provide based on the message directive responsive to determining that the message directive is less than a predetermined amount of time old;
- retrieving notification settings associated with the notification type;
- and
- performing a notification of receipt of the incoming communication in accordance with the notification settings.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium including instructions that when executed by a recipient communications device cause the recipient communications device to:
- receive, over a communications network, an incoming communication and a message directive specific to the incoming communication indicating a notification type, each provided in separate messages from a sender communications device;
- identify the notification type to provide based on the message directive responsive to determining that the message directive is less than a predetermined amount of time old;
- retrieve notification settings associated with the notification type;
- and
- perform a notification of receipt of the incoming communication in accordance with the notification settings.
A method comprising:
- receiving, over a communications network in separate messages, an incoming communication and a message directive indicating a notification type;
- when the message directive is less than a predetermined amount of time old, retrieving notification settings associated with the notification type and otherwise retrieving default notification settings;
- and
- performing a notification of receipt of the incoming communication using a vehicle user interface according to the retrieved notification settings.
