Claim 27:
28. A system in which a user has a plurality of devices, wherein said devices include a plurality of modes, including at least one focus mode, and wherein said devices include a first device and a second device, and wherein
in response to causing said first device to operate in a focus mode, the system causes said second device to operate in said focus mode,
wherein terminating a focus mode on a device associated with said user causes said focus mode to terminate on at least one other device associated with said user,
wherein, when said first device is in said focus mode, a first one or more features of said first device are modified or at least partially disabled, and
wherein, when said second device is in said focus mode, a second one or more features of said second device are modified or at least partially disabled,
wherein one or more aspects of said focused mode are integrated with and/or implemented, at least in part, by an operating system of said first device, and one or more aspects of said focused mode are integrated with and/or implemented, at least in part, by an operating system of said second device,
wherein the devices are maintained in said focus mode for a settable duration or until said focus mode is terminated by a user,
wherein said devices are selected from a cellular phone, a desktop computer, a tablet computer, a laptop computer, and a watch,
wherein information about a mode of said first device is shared with at least one other device associated with said user via a user account, wherein the plurality of modes includes a normal mode distinct from said focus mode, and wherein one or more features that are modified or at least partially disabled in said focus mode are not normally modified or disabled in said normal mode, and
wherein the first one or more features of said first device are modified or at least partially disabled, and
wherein said first one or more features of said first device that are modified or at least partially disabled include one or more of:
(a1) notifications of one or more incoming calls on said first device; and/or
(b1) notifications of one or more incoming messages on said first device; and/or
(c1) one or more outgoing calls on said first device; and/or
(d1) one or more applications on said first device, wherein the one or more applications on the first device comprise one or more of: one or more social networking applications; and/or one or more texting applications; and/or one or more browser applications; and/or one or more messaging applications; and/or one or more conferencing applications; and/or one or more photography applications, and
wherein said second one or more features of said first device that are modified or at least partially disabled include one or more of:
(a2) notifications of one or more incoming calls on said second device; and/or
(b2) notifications of one or more incoming messages on said second device; and/or
(c2) one or more outgoing calls on said second device; and/or
(d2) one or more applications on said second device, wherein the one or more applications on the second device comprise one or more of: one or more social networking applications; and/or one or more texting applications; and/or one or more browser applications; and/or one or more messaging applications; and/or one or more conferencing applications; and/or one or more photography applications.
