Abstract
Systems, methods, computer-readable media, techniques, and methodologies are disclosed for detecting messages received sequentially in short succession and implementing delivery controls to control a timing of the delivery of content of the messages for presentation to a user. Message detection and delivery control mechanisms disclosed herein refrain from presenting the content of multiple messages received in quick succession until a delivery event condition is detected. Upon detection of the delivery event condition, the content of the messages is consolidated into a message digest that is presented to a user (e.g., an intended recipient of the messages). The consolidated message digest can be presented to the user via an output interface, such as an in-vehicle speaker or display. In this manner, both disruption to the user experience as well as potential safety concerns, particularly in an in-vehicle environment, are mitigated by reducing the number and frequency of messages that are consumed.
