    Abstract: Some techniques are described herein for providing focus to a process of a computer system. In some embodiments, a system process can evaluate a request to provide focus to a user process using different sets of criteria (e.g., explicit donation criteria and/or implicit donation criteria) depending on whether another user process has indicated an intention to yield focus to the user process. In some embodiments, the system process can override a request to yield focus to a first process if the first process has previously indicated an intention to yield focus to a second process (e.g., via token chaining). In some embodiments, a user process can request to yield to a targeted other process and, in response, the system process can cause the targeted other process (or a different process via token chaining) to receive focus and perform an operation.

    Abstract: A connection manager manages connections for associated user devices by determining whether an incoming connection has been answered at a user device, and if so then generating and transmitting silencing commands to associated user devices using first and second wireless communication modes, with one mode being faster. Connections can comprise phone calls, and modes can comprise push and Bluetooth® messaging. The connection manager can instruct device outputs to provide connection alerts, limited to visual alerts when an associated user device is active, listen for associated user device communications, and instruct device outputs to stop providing alerts when a silencing command is received. Further, a connection manager can receive a signal regarding a headset status, route an outside connection from a phone to the headset when the headset is active or to another device when the headset is not active, detect a change in headset status, and reroute the connection accordingly.

    Abstract translation: 连接管理器通过确定进入的连接是否已经在用户设备处被应答来管理关联的用户设备的连接,并且如果是,则使用第一和第二无线通信模式,使用第一和第二无线通信模式生成和发送沉默命令到​​相关的用户设备,一种模式更快。 连接可以包括电话呼叫,并且模式可以包括推送和蓝牙消息。 连接管理器可以指示设备输出提供连接警报,限于当相关联的用户设备处于活动状态时的可视警报,监听相关联的用户设备通信,并且指示设备输出停止在接收到消音命令时提供警报。 此外,当耳机处于活动状态时,连接管理器可以接收关于耳机状态的信号,将外部连接从电话路由到耳机,或者当耳机不活动时将其连接到另一设备,检测耳机状态的改变,并且重新路由 连接相应。
