Patent number: 11890549Abstract: Techniques for managing notifications are described. In an example, a computing device presents content in an application window based on an execution of an application. Notification data is received by a computing device. Based on a context associated with the computing device, such as whether the application window is the foreground and whether the notification data is associated with the application or such as the operational mode of the computing device, a determination is made whether to present a corresponding notification in-context within the application window or in a pop-up window. Otherwise, the notification is added to a notification list and can be summarized in a notification summary.Type: GrantFiled: February 25, 2021Date of Patent: February 6, 2024Assignee: Sony Interactive Entertainment Inc.Inventors: Elizabeth Ruth Juenger, Ryan David Sutton, Makoto Oshita, Zentaro Kaji

Patent number: 11712624Abstract: Techniques for managing notifications are described. In an example, a computing device receives notification data. The computing device compares a first context associated with the notification data and a second context associated with an application executing in an application window on a display. The computing device determines whether the notification data is to be presented in the application window or is to be sent to a queue based on the comparison, the queue storing other notification data corresponding to another notification. The computing device also presents, based on the comparison, at least the notification data or a notification in the application window over at least a portion of content from execution of the application while a presentation of the content continues, the notification distinct from the notification data and indicating that the notification data is presented.Type: GrantFiled: February 10, 2021Date of Patent: August 1, 2023Assignee: Sony Interactive Entertainment Inc.Inventors: Elizabeth Ruth Juenger, Ryan David Sutton, Makoto Oshita, Zentaro Kaji
