Abstract:
Systems, methods, and computer readable media providing a speech input interface. The interface can receive speech input and non-speech input from a user through a user interface. The speech input can be converted to text data and the text data can be combined with the non-speech input for presentation to a user.
Abstract:
The disclosed embodiments provide a system that delivers content to an electronic device, The system includes a content provider that obtains a public address of the electronic device from a first request for the content from the electronic device, Next, the content provider uses the public address to identify a local caching server on a local area network (LAN) of the electronic device. Finally, the content provider provides a local address of the local caching server to the electronic device, wherein the local address is used by the electronic device to obtain the content from the local caching server and the LAN without accessing a content delivery network (CDN) outside the LAN.
Abstract:
Systems, methods, devices and non-transitory, computer-readable mediums are disclosed for device-to-device caching. In some implementations, a method includes: registering, by an electronic device, a cache service on a local area network (LAN), the LAN including other registered electronic devices; generating, by the electronic device, a content map for cached content, the content map generated from descriptors of the cached content and including data indicating that the cached content described by the content descriptors is possibly cached or is definitely not cached by the electronic device; advertising, by the electronic device, the registered cache service and the content map; receiving, by the electronic device, a request for content from a requesting electronic device registered on the LAN; determining, by the electronic device, that the requested content is cached; and sending, by the electronic device, the requested content to the requesting electronic device.
Abstract:
A method includes, while an application is installed on a device and a representation of the application has a designated location in a respective portion of an application launching user interface, detecting an application-demotion request to delete the application from the device without deleting associated data for the application. In response to detecting the application-demotion request, deleting the application from the device without deleting the associated data for the application. After deleting the application from the device, detecting a request to display the respective portion of the application launching user interface and, in response to detecting the request to display the respective portion of the application launching user interface, displaying the respective portion of the application launching user interface, including displaying the representation of the application in the designated location in the respective portion of the application launching user interface.
Abstract:
Disclosed are systems, methods, devices and non-transitory, computer-readable storage media for edge caching shared devices. In some implementations, a method comprises: receiving, by an edge cache server on a local area network (LAN) from a client device, a locate server request; determining, by the edge cache server, that the edge cache server has established server affinity with a user of the client device; sending, by the edge cache server to the client device, affinity data corresponding to the user; receiving, by the edge cache server from the client device, a request to transfer user data corresponding to the user; determining, by the edge cache server, that a new version of the user data is available; downloading, by the edge cache server, the new version of the user data; and sending, by the edge cache server to the client device, the new version of the user data.
Abstract:
The described embodiments electronically deliver content (e.g., digitally-encoded files) to an electronic device using groups of accounts. In the described embodiments, a content provider obtains a public address of the electronic device and at least one account identifier for the electronic device from a request for the content received from the electronic device. Next, the content provider uses the public address to identify a local caching server (LCS) on a local area network (LAN) to which the electronic device is connected and uses the account identifier to determine that an account associated with the LCS is associated with a group of accounts with which an account for the electronic device is also associated. The content provider then provides a local address of the LCS to the electronic device, which uses the local address to obtain the content from the LCS via the LAN without accessing a content delivery network outside the LAN.

Disclosed are systems, methods, devices and non-transitory, computer-readable storage mediums for edge caching shared devices. In some implementations, a method comprises: receiving, by a client device on a local area network (LAN), a request for data transfer from a user of the client device; determining, by the client device, if one of a plurality of edge cache servers on the LAN has established server affinity with the user; if an edge cache server has established server affinity with the user, initiating, by the client device, data transfer between the client device and the edge cache server; and if no edge cache server on the LAN has established server affinity with the user, establishing, by the client device, server affinity between the user and one of the plurality of edge cache servers.
