Embodiment Construction

[0017] This disclosure describes various graphical user interfaces (GUIs) for implementing various features, processes or workflows. These GUIs may be presented on various electronic devices including, but not limited to, laptop computers, desktop computers, computer terminals, television systems, tablet computers, e-book readers, and smart phones. One or more of these electronic devices may include a touch-sensitive surface. The touch-sensitive surface can process multiple simultaneous input points, including processing data related to the pressure, angle, or position of each point of input. Such processing facilitates gestures that utilize multiple fingers, including pinch and swipe.

[0018] When the present disclosure refers to "selecting" a user interface element in a GUI, these terms are understood to include clicking or "hovering" over the user interface element with a mouse or other input device, or using one or more fingers or a stylus. to touch, tap, or gesture on ...

Abstract

In some implementations, a computing device can be configured to automatically tum off notifications when generating a notification would cause a disturbance or be unwanted by a user. The device can be configured with quiet hours during which notifications that would otherwise be generated by the computing device can be suppressed. In some implementations, quiet hours can be configured as a time period with a start time and an end time. In some implementations, quiet hours can be derived from application data. For example, calendar data, alarm clock data, map data, etc. can be used to determine when quiet hours should be enforced. In some implementations, the device can be configured with exceptions to quiet hour notification suppression. In some implementations, the user can identify contacts to which the quiet hours notification suppression should not be applied.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This patent application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application 61 / 656,935, filed June 7, 2012, and U.S. Patent Application 13 / 842,682, filed March 15, 2013, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety for for all purposes. technical field [0003] The present disclosure generally relates to mechanisms for providing notifications on computing devices. Background technique [0004] Computing devices typically provide notifications for events that occur on or are detected by the computing device. For example, a computing device with call capabilities may provide a ringtone notification notifying the user of an incoming call. A scheduled meeting on a calendar application can trigger a notification reminding the user of the meeting. An incoming text message or email can trigger a notification notifying the user of a new message or email. These notifications may be pre...
