Abstract:
1. A system configured for complex determination of a user's busy state and for assigning a do not disturb (DND) filter, comprising: a first electronic device configured to house a DND recognizer module and further configured to store and execute a plurality of applications operable on the first electronic device; a second electronic device operably associated via a network with the first electronic device, the second electronic device implementing another DND recognizer module, a DND filter module, and a DND propagator module; wherein the DND recognizer module housed within the first electronic device is configured to analyze and determine the user's actions in an application executed on the first electronic device, the DND recognizer module is further configured to transmit the determined user's action data in real time, the user's action data representing the user's activity within the application, and the user's action data transmitted to the DND filter module also housed within the second electronic device; wherein the DND filter module is configured to determine whether a particular DND filter is associated with the current busy state of the user and to adjust the DND status provided a DND filter does exist, such busy state selected from a plurality of busy states each of which is configured to represent which communications are to be filtered, the busy state being based automatically upon the user's current action data, the DND filter module transmits the DND filter data to the DND propagator housed within the second electronic device; wherein the DND propagator module is configured to propagate the DND status to at least one device operably associated with the system provided a DND status exists for the current busy state of the user; and wherein the DND filter module is configurable by a user to automatically allow incoming communications for one or more users based on the DND filter and to automatically block all other incoming communications.
