ABSTRACT
Mobile devices generate a tremendous number of notifications every day. While some of them are important, a huge number of them are not of particular interest for the user. In this work, we investigate how users manually defer notifications using a rule-based approach. We provide three different types of rules, namely, suppressing, summarizing once a day, and snoozing to a specific point in time. In a user study with 16 participants, we explore how users apply these rules. We report on the usage behavior as well as feedback received during an interview. Last, we derive guidelines that inform future notification deferral systems.

Snooze!: investigating the user-defined deferral of mobile notifications
MobileHCI '18: Proceedings of the 20th International Conference on Human-Computer Interaction with Mobile Devices and ServicesNotifications on mobile devices are a prominent source of interruptions. Previous work suggests using opportune moments to deliver notifications to reduce negative effects. In this paper, we instead explore the manual deferral of notifications. We ...
Notification dashboard: enabling reflection on mobile notifications
MobileHCI '16: Proceedings of the 18th International Conference on Human-Computer Interaction with Mobile Devices and Services AdjunctNotifications are a key feature on current smartphones. Apps gain the attention of the users to inform them about new messages, upcoming appointments or system updates. Previous studies investigated how many notifications users receive and how users ...
