Meta patents AI summaries for notifications on glasses and watches
This patent describes a system where Meta's head-worn and wrist-worn devices work together to manage incoming alerts. When a user triggers a specific input, an AI model creates a short summary of pending notifications, ranking them by personal importance. The device then displays these ranked summaries instead of the original, potentially lengthy messages.
In the filing’s own words
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium includes instructions that are executed by one or more processors. The instructions cause the processors to, while a head-wearable device and a wrist-wearable device are communicatively coupled and worn by a user and a plurality of pending notifications is available at the head-wearable device and/or the wrist-wearable device and in response to detecting a distillation user input (i) obtain, from an AI model, a summary of the plurality of pending notifications, wherein the summary of the plurality of pending notifications includes an explanation for each pending notifications of the plurality of pending notifications, each explanation associated with a priority score and (ii) cause presentation of a representation of the summary of the plurality of pending notifications at one or more of the head-wearable device and the wrist-wearable device, the representation providing each explanation in an order based on the priority score.
What exactly they claim (claim 1)
1. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium including instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform: while a head-wearable device and a wrist-wearable device are communicatively coupled and worn by a user: while a plurality of pending notifications is available at one or more of the head-wearable device and the wrist-wearable device and in response to detecting a distillation user input: cause an artificial intelligence model to generate a summary of the plurality of pending notifications, wherein the summary of the plurality of pending notifications includes a corresponding explanation for each pending notification of the plurality of pending notifications, each corresponding explanation associated with a user-specific priority score and distinct from the corresponding pending notification; obtain, from the artificial intelligence model, the summary of the plurality of pending notifications; and cause presentation of a representation of the summary of the plurality of pending notifications at one or more of the head-wearable device and the wrist-wearable device, the representation providing each corresponding explanation in an order based on the user-specific priority score.
