Abstract

An apparatus, method and computer program wherein the apparatus comprises: processing circuitry; and memory circuitry including computer program code; the memory circuitry and the computer program code configured to, with the processing circuitry, cause the apparatus at least to perform; obtaining information from a plurality of sensor devices wherein a first type of information is obtained in notifications and a second type of information is obtained in messages; using information obtained in notifications to select which information obtained in messages is to be provided to a user; and enabling the selected information obtained in messages to be provided to a user.

Claims (32)

1. An apparatus comprising:

processing circuitry; and

memory circuitry including computer program code;

the memory circuitry and the computer program code configured to, with the processing circuitry, cause the apparatus at least to perform:

obtaining information from a plurality of sensor devices wherein a first type of information is obtained in notifications and a second type of information is obtained in messages;

determining, from the notifications, at least one of a context of a user, an activity of a user, or a gesture of a user;

determining, based at least in part on the determined context, activity, or gesture and using information obtained in notifications, which information obtained in messages is selected to be provided to a user, wherein the information obtained in the notifications is used in an adaptive ranking algorithm of the information obtained in the messages; and

enabling the selected information obtained in messages to be provided to a user.

2. An apparatus of claim 1 wherein the information obtained in notifications is used to filter the information obtained in messages.

3. An apparatus of claim 1 wherein the information obtained in messages comprises information indicative of at least one of a physiological parameter, an environmental parameter, a location, or movement of a sensor device.

4. An apparatus of claim 1 wherein the selected information is provided to a user while the user is performing an activity.

5. An apparatus of claim 1 wherein the selected information is provided to a user in real time.

6. An apparatus of claim 1 wherein the plurality of sensor devices comprise at least one wearable sensor device.

7. An apparatus of claim 1 wherein the information is obtained via short range communication links.

8. An apparatus of claim 1 wherein the apparatus is configured to generate a request to a user to enable a user to confirm information.

9. An apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the apparatus is further caused to:

assign a priority to the messages, where the priority is based on the determined context of the user, activity of the user, or gesture of the user.

10. An apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the apparatus is further caused to:

enable the selected information obtained in messages of a higher priority to be provided to the user at a higher frequency than messages of a lower priority.

11. An apparatus of claim 1 , wherein a context of a user and an activity of a user are determined from the notification, wherein determining, based at least in part on the determined context and activity, which information obtained in messages is selected to be provided to a user comprises filtering the messages according to a context filter and according to an activity filter.

12. A method comprising:

obtaining information from a plurality of sensor devices wherein a first type of information is obtained in notifications and a second type of information is obtained in messages;

determining, from the notifications, at least one of a context of a user, an activity of a user, or a gesture of a user;

determining, based at least in part on the determined context, activity, or gesture and using information obtained in notifications, which information obtained in messages is selected to be provided to a user, wherein the information obtained in the notifications is used in an adaptive ranking algorithm of the information obtained in the messages; and

enabling the selected information obtained in messages to be provided to a user.

13. A method of claim 12 wherein the information obtained in notifications is used to filter the information in the messages.

14. A method of claim 12 wherein the information obtained in messages comprises information indicative of at least one of a physiological parameter, an environmental parameter, a location, or movement of a sensor device.

15. A method of claim 12 wherein the selected information is provided to a user while the user is performing an activity.

16. A method of claim 12 wherein the selected information is provided to a user in real time.

17. A method of claim 12 wherein the plurality of sensor devices comprise at least one wearable sensor device.

18. A method of claim 12 wherein the information is obtained via short range communication links.

19. A method of claim 12 further comprising generating a request to a user to enable a user to confirm information.
