  • Outputting reengagement alerts by a computing device
    Patent number: 10938767
    Abstract: In general, techniques of this disclosure may enable a computing device to defer output of a reengagement type notification until the computing device determines that a user is likely to engage with the application or service that generated the notification, as opposed to ignoring or dismissing the notification and/or the application or service. In this way, by precisely controlling its output, the described techniques may enable a computing device to increase a likelihood that a reengagement notification will succeed in reengaging a user with the application or service associated with the notification.
