Original Abstract Submitted
the present disclosure generally relates to the utilization of context information by an electronic device. in one example, the electronic device receives a first notification of a first type and determines a current status for one or more contextual categories. if the current status for the one or more contextual categories satisfies a set of one or more delivery criteria for notifications of the first type, then the electronic device provides the first notification of the first type. if the current status for the one or more contextual categories does not satisfy the set of one or more delivery criteria for notifications of the first type, then the electronic device modifies the first notification of the first type to a second notification of a second type and provides the second notification of the second type.
