  • Patent number: 10992779
    Abstract: A computing device is described that receives, at a first particular time, first notification data. Responsive to receiving the first notification data, the computing device outputs, at a first intensity level, a first alert associated with the first notification data. The computing device receives, at a second particular time after the first particular time, second notification data. Responsive to the computing device receiving an indication of user interaction with the computing device between the first particular time and the second particular time, the computing device outputs, at the first intensity level, a second alert associated with the second notification data. Conversely, responsive to the computing device not receiving the indication of user interaction with the computing device, the computing device either outputs, at a second intensity level that is less than the first intensity level, the second alert, or refrains from outputting the second alert entirely.

  • Publication number: 20200285377
    Abstract: A computerized watch is described that receives, from an application that is currently executing, information about a user controllable operation being performed by the application. The computerized watch automatically generates a dynamic control element associated with the user controllable operations being performed by the application. The dynamic control element includes: a first portion that presents at least a subset of the information about the user controllable operation being performed by the application, and a second portion that obtains user input that controls the user controllable operation. The computerized watch outputs, for display, a user interface that includes: the dynamic control element, and one or more static control elements that control other operations being performed by the computerized watch.

  • Patent number: 10620920
    Abstract: A computing device is described that receives notification data, and selects, based on the notification data, a template graphical user interface (GUI) view from a plurality of template GUI views. The computing device automatically generates, from a portion of the notification data, an application GUI view that includes the portion of the notification data included within one or more fields of the template GUI view. The computing device outputs, for display, the application GUI view.

  • Patent number: 9625987
    Abstract: A computing device is described that executes a centralized service and a plurality of applications. The centralized service detects a change from a first power mode of the computing device to a second power mode of the computing device and responsive to detecting the change, determines a first application from the plurality of applications executing at the computing device, to notify of the change from the first power mode to a second power mode. The centralized service outputs to the first application an indication of the change from the first power mode to the second power mode, and responsive to receiving an indication response from the first application, suspends an application processor of the computing device.
