Abstract
A wearable computing device (e.g., a smartwatch, smart glasses, computerized ring, etc.) may utilize contextual signals to determine when to enable or disable batching of information (e.g., messages, notifications, system data, application data, etc.) between the wearable computing device and a companion device (e.g., a smartphone, portable computer, etc.). The contextual signals may include a state of the user (i.e., user scenarios), device configuration information, and context information such as location, time, user behavior history, calendar events, battery level information (e.g., amount of charge), and/or other relevant data. A user may not want, need, or access information sent to the wearable computing device during specific user scenarios. For example, when the user is asleep, not wearing the wearable computing device, or when the wearable computing device is in a “do not disturb” mode. By enabling batching during specific user scenarios, the wearable computing device may reduce unnecessary power consumption and thus improve battery life.
