DYNAMICALLY ADAPTING PROVISION OF NOTIFICATION OUTPUT TO REDUCE USER DISTRACTION AND/OR MITIGATE USAGE OF COMPUTATIONAL RESOURCES - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240098698 titled 'DYNAMICALLY ADAPTING PROVISION OF NOTIFICATION OUTPUT TO REDUCE USER DISTRACTION AND/OR MITIGATE USAGE OF COMPUTATIONAL RESOURCES

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a system for dynamically adapting the provision of notification output to reduce distractions and/or mitigate the usage of computational resources. An automated assistant application predicts the user's level of engagement and adjusts the output provision based on this prediction.

  • Predicts user engagement level
  • Determines provision of output based on predicted engagement level
  • Suppresses output provision if engagement level is low
  • Provides condensed version of notifications
  • Automatically responds to notifications
  • Selects output modality based on notification

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in various fields such as personal assistant applications, smart home devices, and productivity tools to optimize user engagement with notifications.

Problems Solved

This technology addresses the issue of information overload and distraction by intelligently managing the delivery of notifications based on the user's predicted level of engagement.

Benefits

- Reduces distractions for users - Optimizes the use of computational resources - Enhances user experience with notifications

Potential Commercial Applications

- Personal assistant applications - Smart home devices - Productivity tools

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be systems that use user engagement data to personalize notifications, but the specific method of predicting engagement levels and dynamically adapting output provision may be unique to this patent application.

Unanswered Questions

How does the system determine the predicted level of engagement for the user?

The patent application mentions predicting the user's engagement level, but it does not detail the specific algorithms or methods used to make these predictions.

What types of notifications are considered for dynamic adaptation in the system?

The application discusses adapting the provision of output based on notifications, but it does not specify the types of notifications or sources that are included in this process.


Original Abstract Submitted

dynamically adapting provision of notification output to reduce distractions and/or to mitigate usage of computational resources. in some implementations, an automated assistant application predicts a level of engagement for a user and determines, based on the predicted level of engagement (and optionally future predicted level(s) of engagement), provisioning (e.g., whether, when, and/or how) of output that is based on a received notification. for example, the automated assistant application can, based on predicted level(s) of engagement, determine whether to provide any output based on a received notification, determine whether to suppress provision of output that is based on the received notification (e.g., until a later time with a decreased predicted level of engagement), determine whether to provide output that is a condensed version of the received notification, determine whether to automatically respond to the notification, and/or select an output modality for providing output that is based on the received notification.
