Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed for selecting from various mechanisms for displaying a message directed to particular user(s) and/or user account(s). The mechanism by which the message may be displayed may be determined based at least in part on prediction of the importance and/or a prediction of a time criticality of the message to the user(s) to whom the message is to be delivered. The message may be received or generated by a hub user device. If the hub user device is not in the process of displaying any content on a primary display screen associated with the hub user device, then the received or generated message may be displayed on the primary display screen. If the hub user device is using the primary display screen to display any variety of content, then the message may be displayed on the primary display screen, redirected to another user device in communicative connection with the hub user device, or stored for later display based at least in part on the prediction of the importance and/or time criticality of the message.
