In today’s digital world, users receive hundreds of notifications from different apps every day. Many of these notifications are not relevant when they arrive, which leads to distraction, lower productivity, and notification fatigue. To address this issue, the Smart Context-Aware Notification Prioritization System is created as an intelligent platform that filters, ranks, and delivers notifications to users based on their current context and the urgency of the information received.
Overview
This project aims to develop a system that understands user behavior, schedules, device states, environments, and content types to decide when to deliver a notification. The system gives a priority score to each notification using set rules and machine learning models. The goal is to minimize interruptions while ensuring users don’t miss important information. This project is unique because it uses context-awareness and lightweight machine learning to tackle a practical everyday issue that often gets ignored.Key Requirements
- User activity tracking module
- Notification classification module
- Priority scoring algorithm
- Real-time decision engine
- Backend for storing user profiles and rules
- Mobile or web interface to display prioritized notifications
- Logging and analytics component
Technology Stack
Frontend: Angular or React for building the user interfaceBackend: Python Flask or Django for API development
Database: MySQL or MongoDB for storing user data and notification logs
Machine Learning: Scikit-Learn or TensorFlow Lite for lightweight prediction
Real-Time Processing: WebSockets or SignalR for real-time notification flow
Hosting: AWS, Render, or Firebase
Workflow
- Collect user data like app usage, activity patterns, and preferences.
- Receive notifications from various apps through API or background services.
- Analyze the content of each incoming notification.
- Use ML or rule-based scoring to determine priority.
- Check real-time user context including time, location, device mode, and current activity.
- Deliver high-priority notifications right away.
- Queue low-priority notifications for later delivery.
- Show all processed notifications in the UI with their assigned priority and context explanation.
Coding Standards
- Follow modular architecture with separate layers for services, models, controllers, and utilities.
- Use clear variable names, follow camelCase for JavaScript/TypeScript and snake_case for Python.
- Implement error handling and logging for all critical operations.
- Keep functions small, reusable, and focused on one task.
- Validate all incoming data on both the frontend and backend.
- Document all modules and maintain API documentation using Swagger or Postman Collections.
- Apply security best practices, including input sanitization and secure authentication tokens.
