  • Patent number: 11902460
    Abstract: Systems and processes for providing, via an electronic device, suggested user actions. The suggested actions are provided in response to detecting an occurrence of a predefined event occurring in the user's day. The occurrence of the anchor is encoded in signals generated by the electronic device. The occurrence of the anchor is detectable via monitoring and analysis of electronic signals. Based on the user's previous interactions with the device, the occurrence of the anchor is indicative of user behavior and/or action taken in response to the anchor. Machine learning (ML) is employed to train an anchor model to associate actions taken in response to anchor occurrences. The trained anchor model is employed to detect anchors and provide suggested actions in response to the detected anchor occurrence. The suggested action is based on a type of anchor occurrence and contextual conditions of the anchor occurrences.

  • Publication number: 20220365791
    Abstract: The subject technology provides notification management systems and methods that can be used to efficiently and manage notifications on electronic devices. The subject technology provides systems and methods for obtaining entity data pertaining to entities associated with the electronic device, and generating, for an operational mode associated with the electronic device, an entity score for each of the entities based on the obtained entity data. Based on the entity scores, a recommendation of a set of configuration settings for the operational mode associated with the computing device is provided for display by the computing device. A user input indicating acceptance of the set of configuration settings is received. Thereafter, when the computing device is in the operational mode, display of one or more notifications is controlled based at least in part on the set of configuration settings.

  • Patent number: 6566891
    Abstract: The present invention provides a measurement system and a method of determining characteristics associated with a waveform that compensate for distortion associated therewith. In one embodiment, the measurement system includes a monitoring device that detects distortion in a waveform propagating along the transmission medium. The measurement system further includes a computational subsystem that generates a precompensation signal and precompensation value as a function of the distortion in the waveform. The precompensation value substantially compensates for the distortion when inserted into the waveform as a function of the precompensation signal.
