Adjust output characteristic

1. A method, comprising:

receiving, at an information handling device, a query from a user;

receiving, from a source that is not the user, an indication of a deadline time by which to provide a result responsive to the query at a current output setting, wherein the source comprises a calendaring application associated with the user and the indication of the deadline time is determined based upon an upcoming event scheduled in the calendaring application;

determining, using a processor, that a length of time required to provide the result at the current output setting is greater than the deadline time;

identifying, responsive to the determining, a break point in the result based at least upon the deadline time and the length of time; and

providing, at the current output setting, a portion of the result up to the break point.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the receiving the indication comprises accessing an accessible data storage source to identify the deadline time.

3. An information handling device, comprising:

an output device associated with the information handling device;

a processor;

a memory device that stores instructions executable by the processor to:

receive a query from a user;

receive, from a source that is not the user, an indication of a deadline time by which to provide a result responsive to the query at a current output setting, wherein the source comprises a calendaring application associated with the user and the indication of the deadline time is determined based upon an upcoming event scheduled in the calendaring application

determine that a length of time required to provide the result at the current output setting is greater than the deadline time;

identify, responsive to the determining, a break point in the result based at least upon the deadline time and the length of time; and

provide, at the current output setting, a portion of the result up to the break point.

4. The information handling device of claim 3 , wherein the instructions executable by the processor to receive the indication comprise instructions executable by the processor to access an accessible data storage source to identify the deadline time.

5. A product, comprising:

a storage device that stores code, the code being executable by a processor and comprising:

code that receives a query from a user;

code that receives, from a source that is not the user, an indication of a deadline time by which to provide a result responsive to the query at a current output setting, wherein the source comprises a calendaring application associated with the user and the indication of the deadline time is determined based upon an upcoming event scheduled in the calendaring application;

code that determines that a length of time required to provide the result at the current output setting is greater than the deadline time;

code that identifies, responsive to the determining, a break point in the result based at least upon the deadline time and the length of time;

and

code that provides, at the current output setting, a portion of the result up to the break point.
