Abstract: The described embodiments perform a proximity unlock operation. For the proximity unlock operation, a first electronic device in a locked operating state detects that an authorized second electronic device is in proximity to the first electronic device. Based on detecting the authorized second electronic device in proximity to the first electronic device, the first electronic device transitions from a locked operating state to an unlocked operating state. In the described embodiments, the transition to the unlocked operating state occurs without the user performing a manual authentication step that is performed in existing electronic devices to cause the transition from the locked operating state to the unlocked operating state.

Abstract: A computing system that supports the use of multiple displays in display mirroring mode and extended display mode may automatically determine a display mode in which to configure the system (with little or no user input) based on various characteristics of the displays in the system. For example, the system may determine that a television, projector, or other presentation type display is connected in the system, and in response, may determine that the system should be configured in a display mirroring mode, rather than in an extended display mode. The system may also determine that the presentation type display is the preferred display, and may render image content in a best (or preferred) mode for that display using its native resolution, aspect ratio or color profile. The system may then scale the rendered image content for display on other (non-preferred) displays, such as an internal display, without re-rendering it.

Abstract: The described embodiments include a tethering device that provides a tethering service to client devices. Generally, the tethering service enables a client device to share the tethering device's access to a network. For example, a client device may share the tethering device's access to a cellular network, through which the client device can access the Internet. In the described embodiments, a client device and the tethering device are configured so that the client device causes the tethering device to activate the tethering service without a user performing one or more operations for manually activating the tethering service on the tethering device.

Abstract translation: 支持在显示镜像模式和扩展显示模式下使用多个显示器的计算系统可以基于系统中的显示器的各种特征，自动地确定配置系统（具有很少或没有用户输入）的显示模式。 例如，系统可以确定在系统中连接电视，投影仪或其他呈现型显示器，并且作为响应，可以确定系统应该以显示镜像模式而不是扩展显示模式来配置。 系统还可以确定呈现类型显示是优选的显示，并且可以使用其原始分辨率，宽高比或颜色配置文件，使该显示的图像内容以最佳（或优选的）模式呈现。 然后，系统可以缩放渲染的图像内容以在其他（非优选的）显示器（例如内部显示器）上显示，而不重新渲染它。
