Smart control of an alert of an incoming communication to a data processing device

摘要

A method includes determining, through a processor of a data processing device in conjunction with one or more sensor(s) associated therewith, an intent of a user of the data processing device to respond to an alert of an incoming communication thereto expressed through a sound volume level and/or a vibrational level of the alert. The method also includes automatically reducing, through the processor, the sound volume level and/or the vibrational level of the alert following the determination of the intent of the user to respond to the alert.

主权项

1. A method comprising:
generating, at a data processing device, an alert of an incoming communication; automatically capturing an image of a user of the data processing device using an image sensor associated with the data processing device when the user faces the image sensor; processing, by the data processing device, the captured image to determine an intent of the user of the data processing device to respond to the alert of the incoming communication; and automatically reducing, through the processor, a vibrational level of the alert based on the determined intent of the user to respond to the alert.
