Abstract

A personal hub for managing notifications across mobile devices and for separating the notification from the content. By separately managing the manner of notification provided to the user from its associated content, the personal hub may give a user more control over a number of mobile devices by allowing the user to escalate or dismiss different notifications across one or more mobile devices. Notifications may be managed based on device settings, priority settings, privilege settings, urgency flags, and / or other factors. In an embodiment, the user may receive an unobtrusive user-perceptible notification of an incoming communication from a personal hub that is less obtrusive than notifications which may be generated by the mobile device receiving the incoming communication.

Description

[0001] related application [0002] This document claims the benefit of US Provisional Application No. 61 / 612,089, filed March 16, 2012, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. Background technique [0003] Mobile devices, such as mobile phones, smartphones, tablets, or laptops, have various types of user notifications including audio, visual, and tactile (eg, vibration) notifications.

Many mobile devices can allow the user to control the notification mode (eg, silence a ringing phone that might interrupt a meeting or movie). However, mobile devices lack an efficient way to transition between notification modes and / or to escalate notifications for important calls or during alarm events. [0004] Many mobile...
