Abstract: A computing device is described that receives a notification generated by a notification source, determines a set of notification channels defmed by the notification source, each notification channel having one or more parameters defmed by the notification source, and determines a particular notification channel from the set of notification channels assigned to the notification. The computing device determines one or more parameters of the particular notification channel and outputs an indication of the notification according to the one or more parameters of the particular notification channel. In this way, a user may be provided with an indication of the manner in which a given notification is being handled by the computing device. This may provide further information on the notification itself and allow efficient interaction in light of the knowledge thereby provided.

Abstract: A computing device is described that receives, from a source, a notification. The computing device determines content of the notification other than a quantity of notifications currently pending for the source of the notification and based at least in part on the content, determines a notification badge that reflects the content of the notification. The device displays the notification badge near a graphical element for launching the source of the notification. In reflecting content of the notification, the badge icon may facilitate efficient interaction with the computing device by resolving one or more ambiguities that would otherwise arise.

Abstract: A styling cape includes a flexible sheet with outer and inner surfaces, and a plurality of peripheral edges. The styling cape further includes a closure for closing a slit to secure the styling cape about an individual. First and second through-holes are formed in the flexible sheet, and positioned so as to form a triangular pattern in combination with an opening in the flexible sheet that is positioned about an individual's neck, in each of a spread-out configuration and a use configuration of the styling cape. A first sleeve and a second sleeve are attached to the sheet so as to communicate with the first and second through-hole, respectively, and form conduits with the first and second through-holes for passage of the individual's hands through the styling cape.
