Embodiment Construction

[0016] figure 1 An example environment including client device 102 and knowledge system 104 is illustrated. in such as figure 1 In the environment depicted in , user interactions with one or more applications executing on client device 102 may be analyzed to determine the likelihood that the user was interrupted while performing a task using the application, the likelihood that the user did not complete the task , and / or provide reminders to the user to complete outstanding tasks.

[0017] Client device 102, which may be a computer, is communicatively coupled to knowledge system 104 through a network (not depicted), such as a local area network (LAN) or a wide area network (WAN), such as the Internet. For example, client device 102 may be a desktop computing device, a laptop computing device, a tablet computing device, a mobile phone computing device, a computing device in a user's vehicle (e.g., an in-vehicle communication system, in-vehicle entertainment system, in-vehicle...

Abstract

Methods, apparatus, systems, and computer-readable media are provided for obtaining user interaction data indicative of interaction by a user with an application executing on a computing device, determining, based on the user interaction data, a likelihood that the user failed to complete a task the user started with the application executing on the computing device, and selectively causing, based on the likelihood, a task-completion reminder to be presented to the user in a manner selected based at least in part on historical reminder consumption.

Description

Background technique [0001] Mobile computing devices, such as smartphones, tablet computers, and wearable computing devices, can be used to perform a wide variety of tasks. These tasks may include, but are not limited to, composing emails and text messages, making voice and video phone calls, creating tasks and calendar entries, updating social networking status, playing games, and more. However, the user may be interrupted in the task and in some instances may be diverted to do other things, which may cause the user to forget to complete the task later. For example, a user may be interrupted (e.g., called by a phone) while creating a calendar entry, so, for example, the entry has an event title and date, but lacks other potentially necessary data points, such as location and start time. As another example, a user who is interrupted while operating a social networking application to update her status may forget to come back later to complete / submit her status update. In part...
