A user can be notified of certain events or occurrences according to time and location information specified by the user. In some embodiments, a user can specify a location such as an office or warehouse, and can select an automatic range such that whenever the user is within the automatic range of that location, notifications are automatically delivered to the user. The user can also specify a management range, such that when the user is outside the automatic range but inside the management range the user will not receive the notification unless the notification has been pending for a specified delay period. Such an approach enables notifications to be delivered when the notifications are most relevant. If the maximum delay has passed or the user is outside the management range, the notification can be automatically delivered to the user or another user can be selected to receive the notification. |

1. A computing device, comprising:
a processor; a memory device including instructions operable to be executed by the processor to perform a set of actions, enabling the computing device to: detect an event associated with a type of notification for a user of a first electronic device; generate, based on the event detected, a notification of the type of notification for the user of the first electronic device; determine whether the first electronic device is located between a first specified distance and a second specified distance of a notification location; upon determining that the first electronic device is located between the first specified distance and the second specified distance of the notification location, deliver the notification to the first electronic device; and upon determining that the first electronic device is not located between the first specified distance and the second specified distance of the notification location, cause the notification to be stored for a specified amount of time, and determine, upon expiration of the specified amount of time, location of the first electronic device and at least one second electronic device, and cause the notification to be delivered to one of the first electronic device or the at least one second electronic device based on the location of the first electronic device, the location of the at least one second electronic device, and the type of the notification generated. |
