Systems and methods for providing a deletion notification
Systems and methods are provided herein for indicating an amount of available storage space. To this end, the systems and methods monitor storage space associated with a media storage device to determine whether an amount of storage space available is less than a threshold. In response to determining the amount of storage space available is less than the threshold, the systems and methods enter a deletion mode. Systems and methods monitor user interactions between a user and a user device after entering the deletion mode. Systems and methods further generate for display a notification at an appropriate time, based on the monitored user interactions, to indicate the amount of storage space available to the user.
1. A method for performing a system action, the method comprising:
in response to determining an amount of available resources in a device is less than a set threshold, beginning, by control circuitry, monitoring of a user's interactions with the device and without monitoring a user's interactions before determining an amount of available resources in a device is less than a set threshold;
calculating, by the control circuitry: a score by comparing the monitored interactions with a template;
identifying, by the control circuitry, a time to perform the system action based on the calculated score; and
performing, by the control circuitry; the system action at the identified time,
wherein identifying the time to perform the system action comprises:
generating, by the control circuitry, a timestamp at the time when the calculated score is determined to correspond to a score threshold;
determining, by the control circuitry, that a time associated with the timestamp represents a time at which the user is likely to respond to a solicitation to perform the system action; and
storing, by the control circuitry, the timestamp.
2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising, in response to determining the amount of available resources in the device is less than the set threshold, entering, by the control circuitry, a deletion mode wherein during the deletion mode, a set of operations are performed by the control circuitry that expend more power than operations in a normal operation mode.
3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising generating for display, by the control circuitry, at the identified time, a notification identifying the system action.
4. The method of claim 3 , wherein generating for display the notification comprises generating for display a solicitation to perform the system action; and wherein performing the system action at the identified time occurs in response to receiving a confirmation of the solicitation from the user.
5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the system action comprises deleting, by the control circuitry, at least one content item, the method further comprising: in response to deleting the at least one content item from the device, determining, by the control circuitry, whether a new amount of available resources in the device is below the set threshold; in response to determining that the new amount of available resources in the device is at or above the set threshold, entering, by the control circuitry, a normal operation mode; and in response to determining that the new amount of available resources in the device is below the set threshold, generating for display, by the control circuitry, a solicitation to delete at least one other content item from the device.
6. The method of claim 4 , wherein generating for display the solicitation to perform the system action comprises: determining, by the control circuitry, a content item on the device that has the lowest priority to the user; and generating for display, by the control circuitry, a solicitation to delete the content item that has the lowest priority to the user.
7. The method of claim 4 , wherein generating for display the solicitation to perform the system action comprises generating for display, by the control circuitry, a pop-up window that is overlaid over media content that is currently being displayed on the user device.
8. The method of claim 3 , further comprising: in response to receiving a refusal of the solicitation from the user: ceasing to display, by the control circuitry, the solicitation to perform the system action; and entering, by the control circuitry, the normal operation mode for a predetermined time period.
9. A system for performing a system action, the system comprising: control circuitry configured to:
in response to determining an amount of available resources in a device is less than a set threshold, begin monitoring of a user's interactions with the device and without monitoring a user's interactions before determining an amount of available resources in a device is less than a set threshold;
calculate a score by comparing the monitored interactions with a template;
identify a time to perform the system action based on the calculated score; and
perform the system action at the identified time,
wherein identifying the time to perform the system action comprises:
generating, by the control circuitry, a timestamp at the time when the calculated score is determined to correspond to a score threshold;
determining, by the control circuitry, that a time associated with the timestamp represents a time at which the user is likely to respond to a solicitation to perform the system action; and
storing, by the control circuitry, the timestamp.
10. The system of claim 9 , wherein the control circuitry is further configured to, in response to determining the amount of available resources in the device is less than the set threshold, enter a deletion mode wherein during the deletion mode, a set of operations are performed by the control circuitry that expend more power than operations in a normal operation mode.
11. The system of claim 9 , wherein the control circuitry is further configured to generate for display, at the identified time, a notification identifying the system action.
12. The system of claim 11 , wherein the control circuitry configured to generate for display the notification is further configured to generate for display a solicitation to perform the system action, and wherein performing the system action at the identified time occurs in response to receiving a confirmation of the solicitation from the user.
13. The system of claim 12 , wherein the system action comprises deleting at least one content item, and wherein the control circuitry is further configured to: in response to deleting the at least one content item from the device, determine whether a new amount of available resources in the device is below the set threshold; in response to determining that the new amount of available resources in the device is at or above the set threshold, enter a normal operation mode; and in response to determining that the new amount of available resources in the device is below the set threshold, generate for display a solicitation to delete at least one other content item from the device.
14. The system of claim 12 , wherein the control circuitry configured to generate for display the solicitation to perform the system action is further configured to: determine a content item on the device that has the lowest priority to the user; and generate for display a solicitation to delete the content item that has the lowest priority to the user.
15. The system of claim 12 , wherein the control circuitry configured to generate for display the solicitation to perform the system action is further configured to generate for display a pop-up window that is overlaid over media content that is currently being displayed on the user device.
16. The system of claim 11 , wherein the control circuitry is further configured to: in response to receiving a refusal of the solicitation from the user: cease to display the solicitation to perform the system action; and enter the normal operation mode for a predetermined time period.
