<p>A telecommunications terminal that intelligently determines whether to notify the user of an incoming message is disclosed. In the illustrative embodiments, the terminal has a processor that makes this determination based on one or more of the following: the time and date (i.e., the "calendrical time"), environmental parameters (e.g., temperature, ambient luminosity, etc.), the user's physiological parameters (e.g., blood pressure, heart rate, etc.), the location of the user, the proximity of other wireless terminals in the vicinity, the semantic content of the message, the identity of the sender of the message, and whether the user is currently receiving another message. For example, a user might not want to be notified of an incoming message that arrives between 10:00 P.M. and 6:00 A.M. unless the user is awake or the sender of the message is a family member.</p> |
