In some example embodiments, adaptive communication circuit 418 is configured to detect an event. The detected event can be, for example, to understand a communication event. In this regard, a communication event can be, for example, understanding the reception/sending of a communication. For example, a communication event may comprise receipt of a communication sent to communication device 102 via network 106, such as by remote apparatus 104. Such communication may, for example, include a telephone call, email , instant message, short message service message, text message, multimedia message service message, multimedia message, a web feed (for example, a Really Simple Syndication feed), or the like. It will be appreciated, however, that adaptive communication circuit 418 may, in some embodiments, for example, be configured to detect other types of events, in addition to or alternatively to communication events. For example, adaptive communication circuit 418 may be configured to detect that a power supply to communication apparatus 102 has less than a predefined amount of power remaining (e.g., a low battery condition). As another example, a detected event may comprise a navigation event, such as may relate to navigation by a user of communication apparatus 102. For example, a navigation event may comprise a page load event, indicating that a page has been loaded. As a further example, a detected event might be related to a calendar appointment, meeting, or the like, as it might be entered into a calendar or scheduling application. In this regard, a detected event may comprise a start time of a scheduled meeting appointment, or the like.
Adaptive notification circuit 418 may be further configured to determine the use of one or more connected appliances 110 connected to communication apparatus 102. In this regard, adaptive communication circuit 418 may be configured to determine which one(s) ) connected device(s) 110 that are or are connected to the communication device(s) 102, what capabilities the connected device(s) 110 have, such as the connected device(s) ) 110 is or are being used, and/or the like. For example, adaptive communication circuit 418 can be configured to determine that audio is being transmitted to a connected headset. As another example, the adaptive communication circuit 418 can be configured to determine that a connected apparatus 110 is tethered to the communication device 102 and is actively using a network link to the network 106 or another network provided by the communication device 102. As a further example, adaptive communication circuit 418 may determine that a watch or other device worn on a user's person is connected to communication apparatus 102 and is capable of generating a user detectable alert.
In some example embodiments, adaptive communication circuit 418 may be configured to determine the usage of a connected device 110 based on a usage status indication received from connected device 110. In this regard, a connected device 110 (e.g. , interpretive communication circuit 518) may be configured to communicate a state of use, indicating a state of the connected apparatus 110 to the communication apparatus 102. The state of use may indicate that the apparatus 110 is on or otherwise reserved for be used. Additionally or alternatively, the usage state may provide details of how a connected device 110 is being used. By way of example and not by way of limitation, examples of details of how a connected device 110 is being used, which may be indicated in a state of use, may include an indication that activity of the connected device 110 is involved, if the connected device 110 has any unused user interface features, such as may be used to notify the user of an event, and/or the like. A usage state may be sent by a connected apparatus 110 at the discretion of the connected apparatus 110, such as when a usage state of the connected apparatus 110 has changed. Additionally or alternatively, connected apparatus 110 may send a usage status in response to a usage status query from connected apparatus 110 to adaptive reporting circuits 418.
Adaptive notification circuit 418 may be configured to determine the use of a connected apparatus 110 in response to the detection of an event. Additionally or alternatively, the adaptive communication circuit 418 may be configured to determine the use of a connected apparatus 110 in response to the detection of a new connection between a connected apparatus 110 and the communication apparatus 102, the detection of data transfer ( for example, the use of a headset for receiving audio transmitted by the communication device 102) between the communication device 102 and a connected device 110, and/or the like. As another example, adaptive communication circuit 418 may be configured to determine usage of a connected device 110 periodically, such as periodically polling all connected devices 110.
Adaptive notification circuit 418 may additionally be configured to determine, based on determined usage, a notification method for notifying the user of a detected event. In this regard, the adaptive communication circuit 418 can take into account the available connected device(s) 110, the capabilities of the connected device(s) 110, any active use of a connected device 110 , and/or the like.
Adaptive notification circuit 418 may, for example, be configured to determine a notification method allowing notification of a detected event, without interfering with the use of a connected apparatus 110. In this regard, adaptive communication circuit 418 may be configured to determine a notification method that can allow a user to be alerted of an event in a way that cannot negatively impact the user's use of a connected device 110. For example, if a user is listening to audio that is not related to a sensed event and being transmitted by the communication apparatus 102 to an attached headset, it may be undesirable for an audible alert for a detected event to be transmitted to the user via the headset because the alert could negatively impact the user's streaming audio. However, the user may not be able to hear an audible alert generated by the communication apparatus 102 or other connected apparatus 110 about the audio being transmitted to the headset. Accordingly, if a second connected apparatus 110 is capable of providing a (e.g. mechanical vibrating alert) and/or a visual alert, the adaptive communication circuit 418 may be configured to determine warning of a detected event by triggering the second connected apparatus 110 to provide a mechanical and/or visual alert indicative of the event. In this regard, it should be noted that the adaptive communication circuit 418 can be configured to adaptively modify as a detected event is alerted to a user based on the determined usage.
In order to determine a notification method, adaptive communication circuit 418 may be configured to determine exactly how a selected connected apparatus 110 (or multiple connected apparatus 110) should notify the user of a detected event. Alternatively, adaptive communication circuit 418 may select instead of a connected device 110 (or multiple connected devices 110) to notify a user of the detected event so that the selected connected device 110 can be triggered to notify the user in a manner determined by the connected device selected 110.
It should be noted that, in embodiments where the adaptive communication circuit 418 determines how a connected device 110 should notify a user, the adaptive communication circuit 418 can define any number of parameters that it can specify as a user interface of a device. connected 110 should notify the user. For example, in determining a notification method, adaptive communication circuit 418 may be configured to determine an alerting mode (e.g., acoustic, mechanical, vibration, visual, a combination thereof, or the like) for notifying an event user. Adaptive notification circuit 418 may additionally or alternatively determine various parameters of an alert. For example, adaptive communication circuit 418 may determine the length of an alert, an intensity of an alert, and/or the like. The adaptive notification circuit 418 can thus choose at least one connected apparatus 110 among one or more connected devices 110 connected to the communication apparatus 102 to instruct the provision of an alert to notify a user of the detected event, according to a method notification given.
The notification adaptive circuit 418 may be configured to determine a notification method based, at least in part, on the type of event detected. In this regard, for example, the adaptive communication circuit 418 can be configured to select a connected device 110 to notify of an event and/or determine how a selected connected device 110 should notify the user of a detected event based on the type of the event. detected event. As an example, adaptive communication circuit 418 can be configured to determine a notification method for a detected communication event that is different from a notification method for a detected navigation event, low battery condition, event calendar, or similar. As another example, adaptive communication circuit 418 may be configured to determine a method of notification for a detected incoming e-mail that is different from a method of notification that may be determined by a detected incoming telephone call, or other type of communication. communication event.
In addition to determining a notification method, adaptive communication circuit 418 may further be configured to modify user interface 416 based on determined usage. For example, if the adaptive notification circuit 418 determines that audio is being transmitted to a connected headset, the adaptive notification circuit 418 may disable a doorbell, a speaker, and/or part of the audible user interface used. to provide audible alerts.
Adaptive notification circuit 418 can be further configured to generate an event notification message based on a given notification method. The event notification message may include a dedicated message, or may comprise an extension, parameter, or other part embedded in another message. The event notification message may be formatted according to any protocol used for communication between the communication apparatus 102 and a connected apparatus 110. In this regard, the event notification message may be formatted according to any protocol supported by the LAN 108, communication link 122, and/or the like.
The event notification message may comprise one or more parameters selected based on the determined notification method so as to trigger a connected apparatus 110 that receives the event notification message to provide an alert indication of a detected event in accordance with the given notification method. Thus, the parameters may, for example, indicate one or more of an alert mode (e.g. acoustic, mechanical, vibration, visual, a combination thereof, or the like), an alert length, an alert intensity, whether an audible alert is to be provided, the length of an audible alert, the volume of an audible alert, if a vibration alert is being provided, a vibration alert intensity length, if a vibration alert is provided, brightness of a visual alert, the length of a visual alert, or the like.
In one example, the event notification message may include a parameter indicating a bell and/or the audible alert state of the communication apparatus 102. For example, if the bell of the communication apparatus 102 is disabled, which may be indicated in a parameter of an event notification message. The parameter indicates the ringer status can, for example, constitute a ringer status indicator provided by the User Profile of the Bluetooth Device's personal interface. Indicating a ringing state of the communication device 102 may trigger a connected apparatus 110 to behave in correspondence with the communication device 102. Thus, if a connected device 110 receives an event notification message indicating that the bell of the communication apparatus 102 is disabled, the connected apparatus 110 may provide an alert indicator of an inaudible event by means such as vibration, providing a visual alert and/or the like.
Alternatively, in embodiments where determining a notification method, adaptive communication circuit 418 selects a connected device 110 without determining additional parameters of how the device 110 is connected selected to notify a user, the event notification message may not include any given parameters that define how notification should be provided.
The event notification message may, for example, include a parameter that indicates a type of detection event (e.g., a communication event, communication event type, navigation case, low battery condition, or the like) that the selected connected handset 110 is to notify the user of. In this regard, interpretive communication circuit 518 can be configured to determine how to warn of a detected event based on the indicated type of event.
Adaptive notification circuit 418 may be further configured to cause a generated event notification message to be sent to one or more connected devices 110 (e.g., to one or more selected connected devices 110) to trigger the connected device(s). ) receiver(s) 110 to provide an alert sign of a detected event in accordance with the given notification method. In embodiments where adaptive communication circuit 418 selects a connected apparatus 110 to provide an indication between connected devices 110 that are connected to communication apparatus 102, adaptive communication circuit 418 may be configured to cause the notification message event is sent specifically to the selected connected device 110.
The interpretive communication circuit 518 of a connected apparatus 110 may therefore be configured to receive a notification message sent by the event communication apparatus 102. The interpretive communication circuit 518 may be further configured to process an event notification message. received to extract the indicative parameters of a notification method from the received message.
In embodiments where a received event notification message includes parameters defining a mode and/or other characteristics of a notification, interpretive communication circuit 518 may additionally be configured to cause a connected device 110 to provide an an event according to a notification method indicated by the extracted parameter(s). Thus, if the extracted parameter(s) indicate (m) an alert mode, the duration of an alert, the intensity of an alert, and/or similar, the interpretive communication circuit 518 can be configured. to act accordingly. If an extracted parameter indicates a bell status of the connected apparatus 110, the interpretive communication circuit 518 can, for example, be configured to provide a corresponding indication of the bell status. Thus, if the bell state indicates that the bell of the connected apparatus 110 is off, the interpretive communication circuit 518 may cause the connected apparatus 110 to provide an inaudible indication.
In some configurations, such as embodiments where a received event notification message does not include parameters that define how an alert should be provided or includes a limited set of parameters that only partially define how an alert should be provided, the circuit 518 can be configured to determine an alert mode. In this regard, the interpretive communication circuit 518 can determine how to provide an alert and/or characteristics of an alert. Such characteristics may include any characteristic discussed above as potentially being defined via a parameter (eg, vibration alert, visual alert, audible alert, alert time, the intensity of an alert, and/or the like). For example, the 518 interpretive communication circuit can determine a vibration pattern for an alert, how many times to flash a visual indication of an alert, and/or other characteristics and/or mode(s) of an alert. Thus, the interpretive notification circuit 518 can be configured to make a final determination of how to provide an alert in cases where alert parameters are not fully predetermined and defined by the adaptive notification circuit 418 in an event notification message.
In embodiments where the event notification message indicates the type of detected event for which an alert is to be provided, interpretive communication circuit 518 may be configured to determine an alert mode based at least in part on the indicated type. . In this regard, interpretive communication circuit 518 may be configured to determine an alerting mode for a first type of event, which is different from a notification alert mode in that interpretive circuit 518 may determine a second type of event. event.
The interpretive notification circuit 518 may, for example, be configured to cause an alert to be provided by the user interface circuit 516. Thus, the type of alert provided may depend on the available output of the user interface means 516, as well as as in the notification method indicated in the received event notification message.
In some embodiments, interpretive communication circuit 518 may be configured to acknowledge a received event notification message. In this regard, interpretive communication circuit 518 may be configured to send an acknowledgment to communication device 102. Acknowledgment of receipt may be sent in response to the receipt of the event notification message, in response to the provision of a alert, so as to confirm the provision of the alert and/or in response to a user notice of a provided alert, so as to acknowledge that the user has received and acknowledged the alert. Thus, in such embodiments, adaptive communication circuit 418 may be activated to confirm that the event notification message has been received and/or that the user has been provided with an alert. In the absence of receipt of an acknowledgment message, adaptive communication circuit 418 may be configured to resend an event notification message and/or may send an event notification message to another apparatus connected to a failsafe mechanism. For example, adaptive notification circuit 418 may resend an event notification message and/or send an event notification message to another connected apparatus if an acknowledgment of a previously sent event notification message has not been received by the expiration of a pre-defined period of time.
Furthermore, in embodiments where a user may acknowledge an alert, if the user does not acknowledge an alert, such as within a pre-defined period of time, a different alert may be provided to the user. In this regard, for example, the interpretive communication circuit 418 can be configured to provide a more intense alert (alert, e.g., louder audible, more intense vibration alert), a different mode of alert, and/or the like, if a user does not acknowledge a previous alert. Additionally or alternatively, if a user does not acknowledge an alert, interpretive communication circuit 418 may be configured to send a message to another connected apparatus 110 to trigger another connected apparatus 110 to provide an alert to the user.
Having described the embodiments of various example embodiments, example scenarios using various example embodiments will now be described. In a first example scenario, the communication apparatus 102 may be connected to a headset and a wristwatch. The communication apparatus 102 may be streaming music to the headset and receiving a telephone call. The adaptive notification circuit 418 may consequently determine to trigger the wristwatch to provide an inaudible indication (eg, a visual alert and/or a vibration alert). In this regard, a user can be notified of the call without interfering with the audio transmitted through the headset and so that the user may be able to detect even while the user is engaged in listening to music with the headset. Adaptive notification circuit 418 may further determine or, alternatively, trigger the connected headset to emit an intermittent "beep" or other relatively non-intrusive indication audible through the headset over music. In this regard, the user can be provided with an audible alert without affecting the enjoyment of streaming music to a great extent.
In an extension of the first example scenario, the clock's interpretive notification circuit 518 can be configured to determine if the clock is being used by a user. If the interpretive notification circuit 518 determines that the clock is not being used, the interpretive notification circuit 518 may determine not to provide an alert vibration, even though instructed in the received event notification message. In this scenario, the clock's interpretive notification circuit 518 can provide an audio/visual alert. Additionally or alternatively, the clock interpretation communication circuit 518 may notify the host apparatus 102 of a notification exception indicating that an alert could not be provided and/or was not effective such that another notification method could be determined by an adaptive notification circuit 418 .
In a second example scenario, the communication apparatus 102 may be connected to a tablet computer, laptop computer or the like, which is using a network connection provided by the communication device 102. The notification adaptive circuit 418 may thus be configured to determine that the computing device is actively exchanging data over a network connection provided by communication apparatus 102 and diverts the incoming call to the device. If a watch, headset, and/or other connected device 110 is connected to the communication device 102, in addition to the device, the adaptive communication circuit 418 may trigger one or more of the additional connected devices 110 to provide an alert indicative of the phone call.
In a third example scenario, the communication device 102 may be connected to a second computing device, such as a mini personal computer (mini PC). A headset can be connected to the second computing device. The notification adaptive circuit 418 may be configured to detect that the communication apparatus 102 is connected to the second computing device. Depending on the configuration, the adaptive communication circuit 418 can be further configured to detect that the headset is connected to the second computing device. Adaptive notification circuit 418 may be configured to trigger the second computing device to provide an alert indicative of an incoming call. As another example, adaptive notification circuit 418 may route a call to the headset. In this regard, the adaptive communication circuit 418 may route the call directly to the headset or may route the call indirectly through the second computing device. If forwarding the call directly, the adaptive notification circuit 418 can cause the communication apparatus 402 to connect the headset for the purpose of forwarding the call. If adaptive notification circuit 418 needs usage information, identification information, and/or other information to directly facilitate call routing to the headset, adaptive communication circuit 418 can be configured to determine that information at from the second computing device.
