Abstract
Computing devices, such as wearable devices, may experience increased power consumption due to device wake-ups associated with high-priority notifications, and some notification management systems can offer limited granular control, for example, by muting notifications on a per-application basis. This disclosure describes a system for context-aware notification handling where alerts may be processed as silent by default. A decision-making engine can analyze a user's context, such as current activity and location, and a notification's context, including its content, sender, and origin application. By combining these factors, the system can determine whether to trigger a device wake-up for a notification that meets certain criteria or to log the notification silently for later review. This method can help conserve battery power by reducing screen activations and background processes, and may facilitate the prompt delivery of information determined to be of higher importance.
