User-stress based notification system

Abstract:

A system for filtering device information to be provided to a user by a digital device or system according to physiological information collected from the user. The physiological information may be used to determine the user's present cognitive stress, wherein the device information may be prioritized, withheld, delayed, or deleted if the present cognitive stress exceeds a predetermined threshold. The device information may be further evaluated with contextual information such as different aspects of the device information or non-physiological user information (e.g. location, time of the day). The system may manage device information with minimal or less user interaction than user defined rule systems.
