    Abstract: This disclosure relates to systems, methods, and computer-readable media for identifying an asset privacy management trigger on an end-user device related to a third-party application. In response to identifying the asset privacy management trigger, a privacy selection interface to enable a user to select a limited asset access option is displayed. In response to the limited asset access option being selected, an asset selection interface is displayed, where the asset selection interface is configured to define a sub-set of assets of the end-user device as authorized for the third-party application based on user selection. In response to a subsequent request to access assets of the end-user device by the third-party application, the third-party application is able to access only the defined sub-set of assets. For different third-party applications or scenarios, the asset privacy management triggers and asset sub-set definitions may vary.

    Abstract: In some implementations, a mobile device can be configured to automatically download and install updates to applications installed on the mobile device. In some implementations, the automatic updates can be performed based on how the mobile device is connected to a network that provides access to the application updates. In some implementations, the automatic updates can be performed based on whether the mobile device has previously downloaded applications or application updates from a caching server. In some implementations, indicia can be presented on a graphical user interface of the mobile device to indicate which applications have been updated. In some implementations, an application update can be downloaded while the corresponding application is in use by the user. The application can be installed when the application is no longer being used by the user.

    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: 所描述的实施例包括向客户端设备提供网络连接服务的网络连接设备。 通常,网络捆绑服务使得客户端设备能够共享网络绑定设备对网络的访问。 例如,客户端设备可以共享网络共享设备对蜂窝网络的访问,通过该蜂窝网络,客户端设备可以访问因特网。 在所描述的实施例中,客户端设备和网络共享设备被配置为使得客户端设备使得系统捆绑设备在没有用户执行一个或多个操作以在网络共享设备上手动激活网络连接服务的情况下激活网络连接服务。
