Systems and methods to parse message for providing alert at device
In one aspect, a device includes a processor and storage accessible to the processor. The storage bears instructions executable by the processor to parse content of a message and determine, based on the parsing of content of the message, whether to provide a notification using the device. The instructions are also executable by the processor to provide the notification responsive to a determination, based on the parsing of content of the message, to provide the notification using the device.
1. A server, comprising:
at least one processor; and
storage accessible to the at least one processor and bearing instructions executable by the at least one processor to:
parse content of a message;
determine, based on the parsing of content of the message and based on identifying a second device as currently in use, to issue a command to the second device to change at least one setting of the second device, the second device being different from the server; and
issue, based on the determination, the command to the second device to change at least one setting of the second device.
2. The server of claim 1 , wherein the command is issued to the second device so that an indication of a subsequent incoming communication is provided at the second device.
3. The server of claim 1 , wherein the command is issued to change the at least one setting so that a ringer of the second device is no longer set to silent.
4. The server of claim 1 , wherein the command is issued to override a setting for not providing text message and/or telephone call notifications.
5. The server of claim 1 , wherein the command is issued to change the at least one setting so that an audible notification regarding a text message or telephone call is provided at the second device.
6. The server of claim 1 , wherein the command is issued to configure the second device to illuminate an electronic display as part of a visual notification regarding a text message.
7. The server of claim 1 , wherein the instructions are executable to:
determine, based on the parsing of content of the message, that an urgent or emergency situation exists; and
issue, responsive to determining that an urgent or emergency situation exists, the command to the second device.
8. A method, comprising:
parsing, at a server, content of a message;
determining at the server, based on the parsing of content of the message and based on identifying a second device as currently in use, to issue a command to the second device to change at least one setting of the second device, the second device being different from the server; and
issuing, using the server and based on the determining, the command to the second device to change at least one setting of the second device.
9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the command is issued to the second device so that an indication of a subsequent incoming communication is provided at the second device.
10. The method of claim 8 , wherein the command is issued to change the at least one setting so that a ringer of the second device is no longer set to silent.
11. The method of claim 8 , wherein the command is issued to override a setting of the second device to not provide audible text message notifications and/or audible telephone call notifications.
12. A computer readable storage medium (CRSM) that is not a transitory signal, the computer readable storage medium comprising instructions executable by at least one processor of a first device to:
parse content of a message;
determine, based on the parsing of content of the message, that an urgent or emergency situation exists;
identify a second device as being currently in use; and
issue, based on the determination and the identification, a command to the second device to change at least one setting of the second device.
13. The CRSM of claim 12 , wherein the command is issued to override a setting for not providing, at the second device, audible text message notifications and/or audible telephone call notifications.
14. The server of claim 1 , wherein the message is a social media message and/or an email message.
15. The CRSM of claim 12 , wherein the instructions are executable to:
determine, based on the parsing of content of the message and based on an identity of an entity that sent the message, that the urgent or emergency situation exists, the identity of the entity being determined based on an Internet search by the first device.
16. The server of claim 1 , wherein the identification of the second device as currently in use is based at least in part on detection of network activity by the second device.
17. The method of claim 8 , wherein the identifying of the second device as currently in use is based at least in part on detection of network activity by the second device.
18. The method of claim 8 , comprising:
presenting a graphical user interface (GUI) on a display, the GUI comprising an option that is selectable to enable a server to, in the future, issue respective commands to respective devices to change respective settings of the respective devices responsive to respective determinations at the server that respective messages sent to the respective devices indicate an urgent or emergency situation exists.
19. The CRSM of claim 12 , wherein the identification of the second device as being currently in use is based at least in part on detection of network activity by the second device.
20. The CRSM of claim 12 , wherein the instructions are executable to:
present a graphical user interface (GUI) on a display, the GUI comprising an option that is selectable to enable the first device to issue respective commands to respective other devices to change respective settings of the respective other devices responsive to respective determinations that respective communications sent to the respective other devices indicate an urgent or emergency situation exists.
