Abstract

Contextual presentation of notifications within a transportation apparatus is disclosed. Driving information related to the driving of the transportation apparatus may be received. In some examples, the driving information includes speed, traffic, road condition, and/or environment condition information. Based on such driving information, a determination may be made with respect to presentation of a notification within the apparatus. For example, the notification may be determined not to be presented based on the driving information. In some examples, the determination may also include determining a format in which the notification will be presented within the transportation apparatus. In some examples, the format may include font size, color, type, blinking frequency, location on a dashboard screen and/or any other format information for presenting the notification within the transportation apparatus.

Claims (32)

1. A method for generating and presenting a notification within a transportation apparatus, the method being executed by a computing device, the method comprising:

receiving driving information regarding driving of the transportation apparatus, wherein the driving information indicates a current speed of the transportation apparatus has breached a limit;

receiving a notification, wherein the notification indicating a communication is received by the transportation apparatus; and

determining not to present the notification within the driving apparatus based on the current speed of the transportation apparatus has breached the limit.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein

the driving information further includes speed, traffic, road and/or environment information related to the driving of the transportation apparatus.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the driving information indicating the current speed has breached the limit is first driving information at a first time point, and wherein the method further comprises:

receiving second driving information regarding driving of the transportation apparatus at a second time point, wherein the driving information indicates a current speed of the transportation apparatus has not breached the limit; and

determining to present the notification within the driving apparatus based on the current speed of the transportation apparatus has not breached the limit.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein determining presentation of the notification comprises determining a presentation format for presenting the notification.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the presentation format includes one or more of a font size, a font type, a font color, a blinking frequency, a volume level, and a position on a dashboard screen of the transportation apparatus for presenting the notification.

6. The method of claim 4 , further comprising determining a notification type for the notification, and wherein the determination of the presentation of the notification is further based on the notification type.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the notification type includes a driving condition type, a weather type, an infotainment type, a communication type or a reminder type.

8. The method of claim 4 , further comprising effectuate graphical or audible presentation of the notification.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the transportation apparatus is a vehicle, a vessel or an aircraft.

10. A system for generating and presenting a notification within a transportation device, the system comprising:

a computer processor; and

a memory device in communication with the computer processor, wherein the memory device includes sets of instructions, when executed by the computer processor, causes the computer processor to:

receive driving information regarding driving of the transportation apparatus, wherein the driving information indicates a current speed of the transportation apparatus has breached a limit;

receive a notification, wherein the notification indicating a communication is received by the transportation apparatus; and

determine not to present the notification within the driving apparatus based on the current speed of the transportation apparatus has breached the limit.

11. The system of claim 10 , wherein

the driving information further includes speed, traffic, road and/or environment information related to the driving of the transportation apparatus.

12. The system of claim 10 , wherein the driving information indicating the current speed has breached the limit is first driving information at a first time point, and wherein the method further comprises:

receiving second driving information regarding driving of the transportation apparatus at a second time point, wherein the driving information indicates a current speed of the transportation apparatus has not breached the limit; and

determining to present the notification within the driving apparatus based on the current speed of the transportation apparatus has not breached the limit.

13. The system of claim 12 , wherein determining presentation of the notification comprises determining a presentation format for presenting the notification.

14. The system of claim 13 , wherein the presentation format includes one or more of a font size, a font type, a font color, a blinking frequency, a volume level, and a position on a dashboard screen of the transportation apparatus for presenting the notification.

15. The system of claim 14 , further comprising determining a notification type for the notification, and wherein the determination of the presentation of the notification is further based on the notification type.

16. The system of claim 15 , wherein the notification type includes a driving condition type, a weather type, an infotainment type, a communication type or a reminder type.

17. The system of claim 14 , wherein the processor is further configured to effectuate graphical or audible presentation of the notification.

18. The system of claim 10 , wherein the transportation apparatus is a vehicle, a vessel or an aircraft.
