Abstract: Systems and methods are provided and include receiving, at a user device, a first user input from a user, the first user input selecting an application icon displayed at the user device. In response to receiving the first user input, the user device launches the native application and sets the native application into the home state. The user device receives a second user input configured to set the native application into a state of the native application other than the home state. In response to receiving the second user input, the user device sets the native application into the other state using the user device. The user device determines that the user frequently sets the native application into the other state, and configures the application icon to, upon being selected, cause the user device to launch the native application and set the native application into the other state.

Abstract: Techniques include receiving a pressure input from a user of a user device at a pressure-sensitive display of the device and determining that the display is covered (e.g., obscured from the user's view) using the device. The techniques further include, in response to receiving the pressure input and determining that the display is covered, receiving a search query from the user at the device via voice input, transmitting the query to a search system via a network using the device, and receiving search results from the system at the device subsequent to transmitting the query. The techniques also include performing one or more actions associated with the search results using the user device (e.g., displaying the results to the user at the display, providing a text-to-speech or playback output for the results to the user, and/or forwarding the results to another computing device for display and/or text-to-speech or playback output).

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided and include receiving, at a touchscreen of a user device, a user input from a user of the user device, the user input selecting an application (app) icon displayed at the touchscreen. The user device receives a search query from the user. In response to receiving the user input and the search query, the user device generates search results based on the search query, each search result specifying a state of a native app associated with the app icon. The user device displays the search results to the user.

Abstract: Techniques include receiving a user notification (e.g., a text-based notification, a phone call, or a voicemail) at a user device. The techniques further include receiving a pressure input from a user of the device at a pressure-sensitive display of the device and determining that the display is covered (e.g., obscured from the user's view). The techniques also include, in response to receiving the pressure input and determining that the display is covered, performing an action associated with the notification using the device (e.g., speak or playback the notification at the device, enable the user to vocally interact with the notification at the device, or forward the notification to another device for display, speech or playback output, and/or user vocal interaction). Additional techniques include, in response to receiving the pressure input and determining that the display is covered, setting the device into a predetermined state (e.g., of a software application).
