POWER EFFICIENT APPLICATION NOTIFICATION SYSTEM

摘要

Applications on the computing device provide notifications related to the application to the notification system. The notification includes an identification of the content to be provided for notification and an indication as to when the content is to be provided. The notification system provides the notification content at the appropriate time, regardless of whether the application is running, and without resuming execution of the application if the application is not running. In addition, various power efficient techniques may be used to determine which notifications to provide and to reflect those notifications (e.g., due to the power mode of the computing device), to prevent updating the user interface to reflect notifications And when to update the user interface (UI).
