Abstract:
Methods and systems involving the dynamic transmission of user information to trusted contacts are described herein. An example system may be configured to (a) receive, at a first computing device, a command to send message data to a second computing device, where the second computing device is associated with a contact; (b) determine that the contact associated with the second computing device is a trusted contact; (c) based on (i) receiving the command to send the message data and (ii) determining that the contact is a trusted contact, cause a multimedia-capture device to obtain multimedia data; and (d) transmit trusted-contact data to the second computing device associated with the trusted contact, where the trusted-contact data comprises (i) the message data, (ii) the multimedia data, and (iii) environmental data that corresponds to at least one environmental condition of the first computing device.
Abstract:
Techniques are described for aggregating person-based information on a computing device. The computing device includes a display device and one or more processors. The processors are configured to determine a context of the computing device, and identify a contact associated with the currently-executing application and a plurality of contact identifiers associated with the contact. The processors are configured to receive, from two or more different sources and based on at least one contact, information associated with the contact that includes a respective portion of information received from each of the different sources, determine, based on the context of the computing device, a respective priority value for each of the portions of the information, select, based on the respective priority value, one or more portions of the information, and output, for display, a graphical user interface including at least the selected one or more portions of the information.
Abstract:
A computing device is described that outputs, for display, a graphical indication of a notification that includes selectable graphical elements that each indicate a respective optional action associated with the notification. Responsive to receiving an indication of an input that corresponds to a selection of one of the selectable graphical elements, the computing device executes the respective optional action indicated by the selected one of the selectable graphical elements.
Abstract:
An electronic device comprising a touchscreen and a light element may be operable to illuminate the light element in response to an event. In response to an input from a user of the electronic device, the electronic device may display on the touchscreen an animation of a graphical representation of the light element moving onto the touchscreen to a target location on the touchscreen. The graphical representation of the light element may share one or more characteristics with the light element. The characteristic(s) may indicate a contact, application, and/or operating system associated with the event.
Abstract:
A computing system is described that determines a location of a first computing device at a particular time. Responsive to determining that a second computing device is located within a threshold distance of the location of the first computing device at the particular time, the computing system identifies, based on contextual information associated with a user of the first computing device and contextual information associated with a user of the second computing device, at least one data file that the user of the first computing device is likely to access at the particular time. The computing system then outputs, for transmission to the first computing device, an indication of the at least one data file.
Abstract:
A computing system is described that receives notification data associated with a user, and responsive to determining that the user is interacting with a first computing device at a first particular time, outputs, for transmission to the first computing device, the notification data. The computing system determines that the user is interacting with a second computing device at a second particular time, and responsive to determining, based on the second particular time being less than a threshold amount of time after the first particular time, that the user did not view the notification data at the first computing device, outputs, for transmission to the second computing device, the notification data.
Abstract:
A computing device comprises at least one processor, and at least one module operable by the at least one processor to designate a particular computing device from a plurality of computing devices to process audio input, wherein the computing device comprises a first computing device from the plurality of computing devices. The at least one module may be further operable by the at least one processor to, if the particular computing device is not the first computing device, cease processing of audio input, and if the particular computing device is the first computing device, receive first audio input and process the first audio input to determine whether the first audio input includes a predetermined audio command.
Abstract:
A wearable computing device is described that predicts, based on movement detected, over time, by the wearable computing device, one or more future periods of time during which the wearable computing device will not be used. Responsive to determining that the wearable computing device is not being used at a current time, the wearable computing device determines whether the current time coincides with at least one period of time from the one or more future periods of time. Responsive to determining that the current time coincides with the at least one period of time, the wearable computing device performs an operation.
Abstract:
A computing device is described that outputs, for display, an initial speech recognition graphical user interface (GUI) having at least one element. The computing device receives audio data and determines, based on the audio data, a voice-initiated action. Responsive to determining the voice-initiated action, the computing device outputs, for display, an updated speech recognition GUI having an animation of a change in a position of the at least one element to indicate that the voice-initiated action has been determined.
