Embodiment Construction

[0014] Embodiments are now described by way of example only. Where parts are marked with the same reference numerals, those reference numerals indicate that the associated part has the corresponding function.

[0015] In the following embodiments, apparatuses and methods related to notification of received communications are described. The apparatus may be configured to present a notification of a received communication forming part of the communication chain. An example of a communication forming part of a communication chain is a message from a user in a text-based conversation between a user of a device and a user of another device. An example of a communication chain is a text-based dialog. A communication link can be related to a particular user, a particular group of people, and / or a particular thread of conversation. Notifications are presented to the user.

[0016] In response to presentation of the notification, a user of the device enters a response. The respons...

Abstract

The invention relates to dismissing notifications in response to a presented notification. According to the invention, a notification of a received communication relating to a communication chain is mentioned. An input is received in response to that notification. Until a predetermined event occurs, the presentation of at least one type of notification of further received communications relating to that communication chain is suspended in dependence on said input.

Description

technical field [0001] The following relates to the notification forming part of the communication chain. Background technique [0002] The arrival of the received communication to the device is usually signaled to the user with a notification. The notification may include any or all of: a visual indication, such as a flashing light and / or an indication on a display screen (eg, a pop-up box); and an audio indication, such as a tone or sequence of tones. [0003] These notifications can be disturbing to the user of the device. This is especially the case for users of the device who are currently using the device for another operation such as an instant message (IM) chat unrelated to the received notification. Because of this, several systems have been configured to provide a way to suspend these notifications. One such system involves text-based conversations, where conversations with multiple users can occur simultaneously. If a user is currently focused on a single conv...
