Abstract:
A computer-implemented method for handling instant messages based on state may include identifying an instant message, detecting a first state of a computing device, and handling the instant message based on the first state of the computing device. The method may further include receiving a first instant-message-handling rule, receiving a first definition of the first state, and associating the first instant-message-handling rule with the first state. A computer-implemented method for preventing the output of instantaneous notifications may include identifying an instant notification, detecting a first state of a computing device, and preventing the instantaneous notification from being sent to an output device of the computing device. Corresponding computer-readable media are also disclosed.
