Detector Devices for Presenting Notifications and Supporting Context Inferences

摘要

Techniques can relate to a multi-purpose a detector surface on a network device. A stimulus variable can be identified at a detector device based on an environmental stimulus detected by a sensor. The detector device can include the sensor. The detector device can transmit an initial communication to a device. The first communication can include the stimulus variable. A new communication that includes data corresponding to another device can be received at the detector device. The detector device can determine, based on the stimulus detected by the sensor and is further based on the new communication, that a visual stimulus is to be presented. The visual stimulus can be presented.

1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
identifying, at a detector device, a stimulus variable based on an environmental stimulus detected by a sensor, wherein the detector device includes the sensor and a visual display; transmitting; from the detector device, an initial communication to a device, wherein the initial communication includes the stimulus variable; receiving, at the detector device, a new communication that includes data that is reflective of an operation of or an input detected at another device; determining that a visual stimulus is to be presented, wherein the determination is based on the stimulus detected by the sensor and is further based on the new communication; and presenting, at the display of the detector device, the visual stimulus.
