Abstract

Systems and methods for modifying a notification received on a user device are disclosed. The method comprises receiving from at least one application on a user device a notification, identifying temporal information associated with the notification, detecting based on the temporal information a calendar-related event from a user profile, and modifying the temporal information associated with the notification to refer to the calendar-related event.

Claims (48)

1. A method for modifying a notification, the method comprising:

receiving, from at least one application on a user device, a notification;

identifying temporal information associated with the notification;

detecting, based on the temporal information, a calendar-related event from a user profile;

determining a context of the calendar-related event;

assigning a weight score to the calendar-related event based on the context of the calendar-related event; and

modifying the temporal information associated with the notification to refer to the calendar-related event, wherein positive weight score calendar-related events have a first degree of modification and negative weight score calendar-related events have a second degree of modification, lower than the first degree of modification.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

determining a user preference from the user profile; and

modifying the temporal information associated with the notification based on the user preference.

3. The method of claim 2 , further comprising:

wherein the user preference comprises a threshold time;

wherein the modifying the temporal information associated with the notification is in response to the temporal information associated with the notification being less than the threshold time.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

removing references to temporal information from the notification.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

determining user-preferred vocabulary from the user profile; and

modifying the calendar-related event with the user preferred vocabulary.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

determining, from the user profile, the calendar-related event is one of: a birthday, an anniversary, a holiday event, a national holiday, a bank holiday, a religious event, an historical event, a user-saved date of interest.

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

identifying an insertion point within a time threshold of the calendar-related event;

receiving a user input to create a calendar event; and

inserting the calendar event at the insertion point.

8. A media device, comprising a control module, a transceiver module, and a network module, configured to:

receive, from at least one application on a user device, a notification;

identify temporal information associated with the notification;

detect, based on the temporal information, a calendar-related event from a user profile;

determine a context of the calendar-related event;

assign a weight score to the calendar-related event based on the context of the calendar-related event; and

modify the temporal information associated with the notification to refer to the calendar-related event, wherein a positive weight score calendar-related events have a first degree of modification and negative weight score calendar-related events have a second degree of modification, lower than the first degree of modification.

9. The media device of claim 8 , further configured to:

determine a user preference from the user profile; and

modify the temporal information associated with the notification based on the user preference.

10. The media device of claim 9 , further configured to:

wherein the user preference comprises a threshold time;

wherein the modifying the temporal information associated with the notification is in response to the temporal information associated with the notification being less than the threshold time.

11. The media device of claim 8 , further configured to:

remove references to temporal information from the notification.

12. The media device of claim 8 , further configured to:

determine user-preferred vocabulary from the user profile; and

modify the calendar-related event with the user preferred vocabulary.

13. The media device of claim 8 further configured to:

determine, from the user profile, the calendar-related event is one of a birthday, an anniversary, a holiday event, a national holiday, a bank holiday, a religious event, an historical event, a user-saved date of interest.

14. The media device of claim 8 , further configured to:

identify an insertion point within a time threshold of the calendar-related event;

receive a user input to create a calendar event; and

insert the calendar event at the insertion point.
