- It is an object of the present invention is to provide a notification
- Application notification display techniques are described. Implementations are described in which a representation of an application can include notifications that pertain to the application. Techniques are further described which can be used to manage the notifications, including replacement of notifications, use of queues, overrides, selection of notifications based on execution state of an application, cycling a display of a plurality of notifications (e.g., by a user or automatically by a computing device), cycling a display of different subsets of notifications, examination of a manifest of an application to determine criteria to be used to display the notifications, display priority of the notifications, and so on.
- a method implemented by a computer device for displaying text content associated with a notification comprising: receiving the notification containing the text content;
- identifying a matching text portion in the text content with a predefined text stored in a storage identifying a matching text portion in the text content with a predefined text stored in a storage; generating an amended notification by combining at least a portion of the text content with a representation image associated with the predefined text; and sending the amended notification for subsequent display on a display of a user interface.
- a further aspect provided is a computer device configured for displaying text content associated with a notification
- the computer device comprising: a computer processor coupled to a memory, wherein the computer processor is programmed to: receive the notification containing the text content; identify a matching text portion in the text content with a predefined text stored in a storage; generate an amended notification by combining at least a portion of the text content with a representation image associated with the predefined text; and send the amended notification for subsequent display on a display of a user interface.
- FIG. l is an illustration of an environment in an example implementation that is operable to employ notification techniques
- FIG. 2 depicts example notifications of the system of Figure 1 ;
- FIG. 3 depicts an example notification processing of the system of Figure 1 ;
- FIG. 4 is a flow diagram depicting a procedure in an example implementation of the notification processing of Figure 3.
- FIG. 5 is a further embodiment of a computer device of Figure 1 ;
- FIG. 6 is a still further embodiment of a computer device of Figure 1 ;
- FIG. 7 is a still further embodiment of a computer device of Figure 1.
- the claimed invention can be implemented in numerous ways, including as a process; an apparatus; a system; a computer program product embodied on a computer readable storage medium as a physical memory; and/or a processor, such as a processor configured to execute instructions stored on and/or provided by the physical memory coupled to the processor.
- these implementations, or any other form that the invention can take, can be referred to as techniques.
- the order of the steps of disclosed processes can be altered within the scope of the claimed invention.
- a component such as a processor or a memory described as being configured to perform a task can be implemented as a general component that is temporarily configured to perform the task at a given time or a specific component that is manufactured to perform the task.
- the term "process ' refers to one or more devices, circuits, and/or processing cores configured to process data, such as computer program instructions.
- Notifications can be used by applications to display information (e.g. SMS notification, email, etc.) obtained from the application without having the user specifically launch the application, or can be obtained from the application with the user having launched the application.
- a weather application can send for display a notification that describes current weather conditions.
- Another example of a notification sent for display can be a text message (e.g. one friend sending an electronic message of hello to another friend) sent from another computer device connected via a communication network to the computer device displaying the notification.
- conventional techniques that are utilized to display notifications are often static and therefore do not allow developers to control how the notifications are displayed on a user interface of a computer device. It is recognised that the application sending the notification can be hosted on the computer device displaying the notification on its user interface and/or the application can be hosted by a network service or other computer device in communication over a communications network with the device displaying the notification on its user interface.
- Techniques described herein can be used to manage notifications, including processing notifications received from applications and then displayed as amended notifications on the computer device display. Additionally, in one or more implementations these techniques can be performed without executing a corresponding application, thereby conserving battery life and increasing performance of computing devices that perform these techniques (for example when amended notifications are displayed on a low power screen such as an e- ink or electronic paper display EPD acting as a bi-stable screen display 112— see Fig.1).
- the following sections describe examples of a variety of different techniques that relate to application notifications, such as receipt of notifications, analyzing text content of the notifications, selection of one or more text portions of the notification text content based on matching with predefined text portions (e.g.
- Notifications can be referred to as text messaging, or texting, the act of typing and sending a brief, electronic message between two or more mobile phones or fixed or portable devices 102,104 over a network 106, see Fig 1.
- the term text message can refer to messages sent using the Short Message Service (SMS) and can refer to messages containing image, video, and sound content (known as MMS messages).
- SMS Short Message Service
- MMS messages image, video, and sound content
- the sender of the text message is known as a texter, while the service itself has different colloquialisms depending on the region. It may simply be referred to as a text in North America, the United Kingdom, Australia and the Philippines, an SMS in most of mainland Europe, and a TMS or SMS in the Middle East, Africa and Asia.
- this as text content can use 140 bytes (octets) per message, which translates to 160 characters (7 bits bytes) of the English alphabet using 7-bit encoding or as few as 70 characters for languages using non-Latin alphabets using UTF-16 encoding.
- the commonly cited limit of 140 characters is imposed by some services like Twitter that reserve 20 characters for non-message content, like addressing.
- SMS can also be used by applications 110 for the remote controlling of appliances and other applications 1 10 or devices (e.g. computer peripherals associated with the operating system 108) - see Fig 1.
- short codes can be special telephone numbers, shorter than full telephone numbers, that can be used to address SMS and MMS text messages from mobile phones or fixed phones. There are two types of short codes: dialing and messaging.
- notifications can be referred to as electronic messages containing text content as generated as sent by applications 110— see Fig 1.
- Electronic text messages can be used to interact with automated systems to, for example, order products or services.
- Service providers can use direct text messaging mobile phone users about products, payment due dates, etcetera as a form of e-mail.
- Notifications can have text content involving letters of an alphabet, numerals, as well as special characters, as desired.
- text messaging by phones or mobile phones could include all 26 letters of the alphabet and 10 numerals, i.e., alpha-numeric messages, or text, to be sent by texter or received by the textee.
- Example procedures are then described which can be performed in the example environment as well as other environments. Consequently, performance of the example procedures is not limited to the example environment and the example environment is not limited to performance of the example procedures.
- FIG. 1 is an illustration of an environment 100 in an example
- the illustrated environment 100 includes a network device 102 (e.g. hosting a web service or other network application) and a client device 104 that are
- the network device 102 and the client device 104 can be implemented by a wide range of computing devices, such as but not limited to a mobile device, a personal digital assistant, a smart phone, a tablet, a laptop, a desktop computer, a server, etc.
- a computing device can be configured as a computer that is capable of communicating over the network 106, such as a desktop computer, a mobile station, an entertainment appliance, a set-top box communicatively coupled to a display device, a mobile communication device (e.g., a wireless phone as illustrated for the client device 104), a game console, and so forth.
- a computing device can range from full resource devices with substantial memory and processor resources (e.g., personal computers, game consoles) to a low-resource device with limited memory and/or processing resources (e.g., traditional-set-top boxes, hand-held game consoles).
- a computing device can be representative of a plurality of different devices, such as multiple servers utilized by a business to perform operations, a remote control and set-top box combination, an image capture device and a game console configured to capture gestures, and so on.
- the network 106 is illustrated as the Internet, the network can assume a wide variety of configurations.
- the network 106 can include a wide area network (WAN) such as the Internet, a local area network (LAN), a wireless network, a public telephone network, an intranet, and so on.
- WAN wide area network
- LAN local area network
- wireless network a wireless network
- public telephone network a public telephone network
- intranet an intranet
- the network 106 can be configured to include multiple networks.
- the client device 104 is further illustrated as including an operating system 108.
- the operating system 108 is configured to abstract underlying functionality of the client 104 to applications 110 that are executable on the client device 104.
- the operating system 108 can abstract processing, memory, network, and/or display functionality of the client device 104 such that the applications 110 can be written without knowing "how" this underlying functionality is implemented.
- the application 110 can provide notification(s) 109 containing text content 1 1 (e.g. text data) to the operating system 108 (e.g. via a notification module 114 as further described below) to be processed, rendered and displayed by a display device 112 without
- the operating system 108 can also represent a variety of other components
- an application launcher e.g., desktop
- the desktop can include representations of a plurality of the applications 110, such as icon, tiles, textual descriptions.
- the desktop can be considered a root level of a hierarchical file structure. Further, operating system
- processors 107 used to execute instructions to perform operations and functionality/processing (e.g. rendering display of amended notifications 116 to the display, accessing memory 115) of the operating system 108 as well as to perform operations and
- the notification module 114 e.g. analyzing and performing amendments to the text content of the received notification 109 for subsequent generation and display of the amended notifications 116.
- Images 118 and associated predefined text portions120 in the memory 115 shown in the illustrated example are used by the notification module 114 in amendment of the text content 111 of the received notification 109 in order to generate the amended notifications 116 for display on the display 112 of the client device 104. In this way, a user can readily see amended notifications 116 of interest on the display 112.
- the operating system 108 is also illustrated as interacting with the notification module 114.
- the notification module 114 is representative of functionality to manage notifications 109 received that are to be displayed as amended notifications 116, as communicated originally from the applications 110 hosted on and/or off of the computer device 104.
- an image representation 118 e.g. cloud
- a predefined text portion 120 e.g. cloudy
- the image representation 118 e.g. heart
- a predefined text portion 120 e.g. Cathleen
- a predefined text portion 120 e.g. Cathleen
- the text content 111 of the notification 109 would contain text content illustrated as including a name and greeting or other personal information, e.g. "Cathleen, Hi I want you to call me”. Another example is illustrated as including a notification that indicates that a current flight status is "delayed.” Further examples can be other than as illustrated, as desired.
- a user can readily view information relating to the received notifications 109 on the display 112, such that the text content 111 of the original notification 109 has been intercepted and changed by the notification module 114 to generate and subsequently display the amended notification 116, by the addition of the image representation 118 matched to the predefined text portion 120 determined by the notification module 114 to be present in both the text potion 11 of the original notification 109 and in the storage 115.
- the notification module 114 could receive and process the notifications 109 without having to launch and navigate through each of the applications 110.
- representations of specific applications 110 are shown, other representations of applications 110 are also contemplated, such as a representation of an application 110 that references a user's involvement with a service, e.g., a friend in a social network service.
- the amended notifications 116 can be managed without executing the corresponding applications 110.
- the notification module 114 can receive the notifications 109 from a variety of different sources, such as from software (e.g., other applications 110 executed by the client device 104), from a web service device 102 via the network 106, and so on.
- the notification module 114 can then manage how the notifications 109 are processed and then displayed as amended notifications 116 without executing the applications 110. This can be used to improve battery life and performance of the client device 104 by not running each of the applications 110 to output the amended notifications 116.
- different types of display devices 112 can be used, such as bi-stable screens and/or more traditional display screens such as LCD displays.
- the amended notifications 116 could be displayed on one or both display screens 112 of a two screen (or multi-screen) computer device 104.
- a two screenl 12 configured computer device 104 with the traditional LCD screen 112 in a off power state the amended notification 116 could be rendered and displayed on the bi-stable screen 112 when operated in a low power notification mode (i.e. one or more peripheral devices and/or applications 110 managed by the operating system 108 are in an off state in order to conserve power of the computer device 104).
- the notification module 114 can support techniques to allow developers of the respective applications 110 to specify how the amended notifications 116 are to be displayed by determining which image representation 118 is to be associated with which predefined text portion 111.
- the notification module 114 can be provided with matching criteria used to identify text portions 120 found in the text content 111 and amending criteria used to replace or otherwise augment the matched predefined text portion 120 in the notification 109 with the corresponding representative image 118 in order to generate the amended notification 116.
- the matching criteria and amending criteria can describe how and when the amended notifications 116 are to be displayed as well as how the amended notifications 116 are to be managed to determine which amended notifications 116 are to be displayed and their corresponding text and image 18 content.
- the notification 109 could contain the text content 111 of "Seattle weather is cloudy and 65 degrees".
- the notification module 114 would identify the text portion "cloudy” and use the amending criteria to produce the amended notification 116 to contain both text content of "Toronto weather is cloudy and 65 degrees” and image content of the representation image 118 of a cloud.
- the notification module 114 would identify the text portion "cloudy” and use the amending criteria to produce the amended notification 116 to contain both text content of "weather” and image content of the representation image 118 of a cloud, as illustrated in Fig.
- Fig. 2 for amended notifications 116 displayed on the display 112 to include representation image 118 (tree with hearts) along with text content obtained from the original notification 109 (e.g. Sonia, I love you Dad!).
- the notification module 1 14 can also utilize a variety of other techniques to enable a developer or other entity to specify how the amended notifications 116 are to be displayed and managed.
- the amended notifications 116 can be associated with the predefined text portion 120 and corresponding representation image 118 as defined and stored in the storage 1 15 by the developer (or otherwise directed to be included in the storage 1 15 by the developer for implementation by the administrator of the operating system 108 and associated storage 1 15 of the computer device 104), and optionally along with corresponding identifying and/or amending criteria that specify how the amended notifications 116 are to be processed, displayed and/or managed.
- an originator of the predefined text portion 120 and corresponding representation image 118 can specify how corresponding amended notifications 116 are to be displayed or managed. This can be performed to enable a variety of different functionality as further described in the following sections.
- functionality of the notification module 1 14 can be implemented in a variety of ways.
- functionality of a notification module 114 can be incorporated by a proxy or third party device 101 (e.g. web service) in whole or in part.
- the notification module 1 14 of the device 101 can process notifications 109 received from other network devices 102 and/or from applications 110 of the computer device 104 and process the notifications 109 for distribution to the computer device 104 over the network 106 as amended notifications 116 for display on the display screen 112 of the computer device 104.
- the storage 1 15 can be embodied as an on-board local storage 1 15 of the computer device 104, can be embodied as a peripheral local storage 1 15 of the computer device 104, and/or can be embodied as a remote networked storage 1 15 of the computer devices 102, 104 and/or can be embodied as a peripheral local storage 1 15 of the computer device 102, and/or an on-board local storage 115 of the computer device 104.
- the storage 1 15 can be embodied as multiple storages located either remotely and or locally with respect to the computer devices 102, 104. Other examples are also contemplated, such as to distribute the functionality of the notification module 1 14 between the client device 104 and the network device 102, incorporate a third-party service 101 , and so on.
- any of the functions described herein can be implemented using software, firmware, hardware (e.g., fixed logic circuitry), or a combination of these implementations.
- the terms "module,” “functionality,” and “logic” as used herein generally represent software, firmware, hardware, or a combination thereof, as incorporated by or otherwise executed by the processor 107 of the operating system 108.
- the module, functionality, or logic represents program code that performs specified tasks when executed on the processor 107 (e.g., CPU or CPUs).
- the program code can be stored in one or more computer readable memory devices 115.
- the computing device 102, 104,1 11 can also include an entity (e.g., software) that causes hardware of the computing device 102, 104,1 1 1 to perform operations, e.g., processors, functional blocks, and so on.

- the instructions function to configure the hardware to perform the operations and in this way result in transformation of the hardware to perform functions.
- the instructions can be provided by the computer-readable medium 115 to the computing device through a variety of different configurations.
- One such configuration of a computer-readable medium 115 is signal bearing medium and thus is configured to transmit the instructions (e.g., as a carrier wave) to the hardware of the computing device, such as via a network.
- the computer-readable medium 115 can also be configured as a physical computer-readable storage medium and thus is not a signal bearing medium. Examples of a computer-readable storage medium include a random-access memory (RAM), read-only memory (ROM), an optical disc, flash memory, hard disk memory, and other memory devices that can use magnetic, optical, and other techniques to store instructions and other data.
- FIG. 3 depicts an example operation of the notification module 114 in which a notification 109 is displayed successively as an amended notification 116 including an image representation 118 added to the text content 111 of the notification 109, as identified by the notification module 114 through interrogation of the storage 115 and matching of the text portion "cloudy" of the text content with the predefined text portion 120 of the storage 115.
- a method 300 implemented by a computer device (e.g. computer device 104) for displaying text content 111 associated with a notification 109.
- the method comprising at step 302 receiving (e.g. by the notification module 114 via the device infrastructure from an application 110 hosted locally on the device 104 and/or via the device infrastructure including the network interface (see below) from an application 110 hosted remotely from the device 104 on the network 106) the notification 109 containing the text content 111.
- identifying a matching text portion e.g. by the notification module 114) in the text content 111 with a predefined text 120 stored in a storage 115.
- step 306 generating (e.g. by the notification module 114) an amended notification by combining at least a portion of the text content with a
- step 308 sending the amended notification 116 (e.g. by the operating system 108) for subsequent display on a display 112 of a user interface.
- the user interface is part of the computer device generating the amended notification 116 and one example of the notification 109 is an SMS message.
- the matching text portion can be embodied as one word, as a combination of words (e.g. the combination of words as a word phrase, the combination of words as a word pattern distributed in the text content), etc.
- Additional step to steps 302-306 can include determining (e.g. by the notification module 114) if the text content 111 contains a number of words less than a predefined maximum words number before implementing the generating step 306.
- the predefined maximum can be less than 8 words, can be less than 9 words, can be less than 10 words, etc.
- the generating step can include replacing the matching text portion with the representation image 118 in the amended notification 116.
- the generating step can include including all of the text content 111 with the representation image 118 in the amended notification 116.
- Additional step to steps 302-306 can include (e.g. by the notification module 114) identifying a plurality of text portions in the text content 111 and assigning a priority to each of the plurality of text portions. Further, selecting a text portion from the plurality of text portions can be based on the text portion having a priority satisfying a priority threshold assigned to matching text portions in the storage 1 5. For example, some of the text portions in the text content 111 may not be identified as matching text portions 120, however those different matching text portions 120 can each have a different priority assigned thereto as defined in the storage 115. An additional step can be selecting the text portion having the priority matching the priority threshold (e.g. highest priority) as the matching text portion.
- the priority threshold e.g. highest priority
- application(s) 110 and notification module 114 can be optionally configured to operatively (as implemented by the processor 107) generate the amended notification 116 for display on the display 112 (e.g. bi-stable, LCD, LED, etc.) by the notification module 114 in substitution of the application 110 hosted on the computer device, the application 110 responsible when in an active state (e.g. running and therefore recognised as an active process by the operating system 108) for processing the notification 109 once received for subsequent display on the display 112.
- the application 110 can be in an inactive state (e.g. not running and therefore recognised as an inactive process by the operating system 108) for receiving and processing of the notification 109 for display 112 and therefore the notification 109 is sent (e.g.
- the notification module 114 is configured as default to receive the notification 109 once received - for example as a process configured for listening and identifying incoming notifications via the onboard bus as generated by local applications 110 and/or for listening and identifying incoming notifications via the network interface as generated by remote applications 110) to the notification module 114 rather than to the application 110 for subsequent processing and generation as the amended notification 116.
- the notification module 114 can be configured to select and send the amended notification 116 to another display screen 113 (see Fig. 5) of the computing device 104 rather than to the display 112.
- the display 112 can be an LCD or LED based display and the another display 113 can be a bi-stable screen (e.g. electronic paper display (EPD), e-ink, etc.).
- the display 1 2 can be a bi-stable screen and the another display 113 can be an LCD or LED based display.
- a notification 109 is received that is to be displayed, the notification 109 containing text portions matching predefined text stored in the storage 115 (e.g. associated with a tag such as a metadata tag).
- the notification 109 can be received at the notification module 114 of the client device 104 from an application 110 executed on the client device 104, from a web server 102, and so on.
- the notification module 114 of the web server 102 can receive the notification 109 from the device 104 and manage processing and distribution of the amended notification 116 to the client device 104.
- a variety of other examples are also contemplated.
- a tag of the notification 109 (e.g. notification ID) can compared to one or more other tags associated with one or more other predefined text 120 in the storage 115, in order to determine type of the notification 109.
- the notification module 114 can decide to ignore the notification 109 for subsequent analysis and process as an amended notification 116.
- a computing device 102,104,101 implementing functionality of the notification environment can include a network connection interface, such as a network interface card or a modem, coupled via connection to a device infrastructure implementing the operating system 108.
- the connection interface is connectable during operation of the devices to the network 106 (e.g. an intranet and/or an extranet such as the Internet), which enables networked devices to communicate with each other as appropriate.
- the network 106 can support the communication of the applications 110 provisioned in the environments 108, and the related notification 109,116 content.
- the device can also have a user interface including the display 112, coupled to the device infrastructure, to interact with a user.
- the user interface can include one or more user input devices such as but not limited to a QWERTY keyboard, a keypad, a stylus, a mouse, a microphone and the user input/output device such as the screen display 112 and/or a speaker.
