Method and Apparatus for Automatically Repeating Alarms and Notifications in Response to Device Motion

摘要

A processor-based personal electronic device (such as a smartphone) is programmed to automatically respond to data sent by various sensors from which the user's activity may be inferred. When one or more alarms on the device are temporarily disabled or ignored, they may be automatically restored when sensor data indicates a change in the user's activity. The restoration of alarm functionality may be accompanied by a repeat of notifications missed or not responded to during a certain period prior to the sensed change in user activity.

1. A non-transitory program storage device comprising instructions stored thereon to cause one or more processors to:
receive a telecommunications message in a wireless communications device while the device is in a first physical activity state; detect a change to a second physical activity state; and, provide a notification of message receipt subsequent to detection of the change to the second physical activity state.
