PERSONALIZED NOTIFICATIONS FOR MOBILE APPLICATIONS USERS

摘要

Personalized interrupt mechanism for users of computing devices where users may specify when and how they choose to be interrupted by mobile applications, games, in-app and in-game events, email, text, and other notifications based on application context and user preference. In some implementations, criteria for interruptions may be refined using machine learning techniques.
