  • Patent number: 10686740
    Abstract: Techniques for learned user preference- and behavior-based notification filtering are described herein. In one or more implementations, notifications obtained from computer applications are filtered for presentation to a user. Example notifications include notifications about emails, text messages, phone calls, web-page specific messages, antivirus application messages, and so forth. As part of filtering the notifications, interactions of a user with the notifications and with events for which the notifications can be generated are monitored. The monitored interactions are used to learn user preferences and behaviors for notifications in different contexts of user interaction with computing devices. Data is collected that describes characteristics of a current context. Based on the current context, importance scores are computed for new notifications using the learned user preferences and behaviors. The importance scores can then be used to determine which of the new notifications to present to the user.

  • Publication number: 20160057572
    Abstract: Systems and methods disclosed herein may include processing geo-fence related notifications. A current location of a computing device may be determined and a plurality of geo-fences accessible by the computing device may be scanned. Upon detecting the current location is within at least one of the plurality of geo-fences, at least one notification associated with the at least one geo-fence may be acquired. The at least one notification may be displayed at a display of the computing device. The current location may be within a threshold distance of a point of interest, and the at least one notification may provide information about the point of interest. The at least one notification may include a consumer review about the point of interest.
