  • Publication number: 20170238276
    Abstract: Implementations for mobile device notifications are disclosed. In one implementation, a method for a mobile device is disclosed. The method includes outputting a first notification of an event at the mobile device responsive to occurrence of the event. The method further includes discontinuing the first notification after a period of time. The method further includes receiving an indication of motion of the mobile device via a motion sensor of the mobile device after discontinuing the first notification. The method further includes outputting a second notification of the event at the mobile device after discontinuing the first notification responsive to receiving the indication of motion of the mobile device.

  • Patent number: 9526084
    Abstract: A mobile device periodically polls a network server via a communications network to obtain new communications addressed to a client account according to a polling schedule. The mobile device receives an indication of a threshold change of one or more of ambient light, temperature, or proximity of an object to the mobile device via an optical sensor of the mobile device, or an indication of motion of the mobile device via a motion sensor of the mobile device. The polling schedule is advanced responsive to the indication of the threshold change of ambient light, temperature, or proximity, or the indication of motion. The mobile device outputs a notification that new communications have been received by the mobile device from the network server.

  • Patent number: 9317863
    Abstract: An identifier is received from each participant mobile device of a plurality of participant mobile devices within a participation region of a wireless network via a wireless access point. One or more attributes for each participant mobile device are retrieved based upon the identifier received from that participant mobile device. The one or more attributes indicate one or more media content items stored at that participant mobile device or previously accessed via that participant mobile device. An indication of the one or more attributes for each participant mobile device is output. Media content is selected based on the one or more attributes indicated for each participant mobile device. The media content is presented, for example, within the participation region.

  • Patent number: 8224929
    Abstract: Mobile device polling is disclosed. A content polling system includes a content polling module configured to transmit a content polling request to participant mobile devices that is executable by each participant mobile device to return a content polling response to the content polling module. The content polling module is further configured to receive the content polling response from each participant mobile device that indicates an attribute of one or more media content items stored at or previously accessed via that participant mobile device. The content polling module is further configured to transmit a content selection request to a content selection module that indicates the attributes of the content polling responses. The content selection request is executable by the content selection module to return a content selection response indicating selected media content that was selected by the content selection module based on the attributes indicated by the content selection request.
