Publication number: 20230352025Abstract: Aspects of the subject technology relate to a method for using a voice command for multiple computing devices. First voice input data is received from a first computing device associated with a user account, where the first voice input data comprises a first voice command captured at the first computing device. Second voice input data is received from a second computing device associated with the user account where the second voice input data comprises a second voice command captured at the second computing device. An intended voice command is determined based on the obtained first and second voice input data. Based on the intended voice command, a first target computing device is determined. First instructions associated with the intended voice command are provided to the first target computing device for execution.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 6, 2023Publication date: November 2, 2023Applicant: Google LLCInventors: Jennifer Shien-Ming Chen, Alexander Friedrich Kuscher, Mitsuru Oshima

Publication number: 20230315261Abstract: A user device incorporates a user interface platform that combines user notifications and various operational settings as part of a common display region. The notifications and settings are separated from one another, and the user interface dynamically adjusts the arrangement of these features to make it convenient for a user to quickly see the information and to manage it. The setting information may incorporate user logins, network and communication data, display and audio information, as well as other settings. And the application-related notifications may include information about active applications such as an email account, audio or video calls, texting apps, social media platforms, calendars, music players, video players, and the like. In response to a new notification, the system may consolidate the operational settings into core settings information. The system may also auto collapse (or expand) the notification list when a new notification is received.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 6, 2023Publication date: October 5, 2023Inventors: Alexander Friedrich Kuscher, Sebastien Vincent Gabriel, Jennifer Chen

Publication number: 20210311597Abstract: On a computing device, an overview mode is provided to present overview windows of all applications currently running on the computing device. When one or more applications are running in a windowed mode, a first overview window is generated for each of the one or more applications running in the windowed mode; when one or more applications are running in a full-screen mode, a second overview window is generated for each of the one or more applications running in the full-screen mode. The one or more first overview windows in the first space can be arranged in one or more rows in a first overview space, and the one or more second overview windows in the second space in a stack in a second overview space. The arranged overview windows may then be displayed in the overview mode of the computing device.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 15, 2021Publication date: October 7, 2021Inventors: Alexander Friedrich Kuscher, Jennifer Shien-Ming Chen, Sebastien Vincent Gabriel

Patent number: 11010052Abstract: A computing device may include one or more dynamically configurable user input devices. In one example, a triggering event, such as, for example, a user input at a user interface of the computing device, may be detected in connection with an application running on the computing device. In response to the detected triggering event, individual elements of the user interface, such as, for example, keys of a keyboard, may be configured, and/or re-configured, to correspond to the input received and/or the application running on the computing device.Type: GrantFiled: October 3, 2019Date of Patent: May 18, 2021Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Alberto Martin, Katie Leah Roberts-Hoffman, Alexander Friedrich Kuscher, Benjamin Goldsmith

Patent number: 10796072Abstract: The subject technology discloses configurations for determining a minimum dots per inch (DPI) setting for displaying graphical content in a window based on a native pixel density of a display. Respective graphical content is scaled for displaying in a first window based on the minimum DPI setting to fit a horizontal dimension of the first window. The subject technology then scales respective graphical content for displaying in a second window based on the minimum DPI setting to fit a horizontal dimension of the second window. In some configurations, the graphical content in the first window is scaled at a different DPI setting than the graphical content in the second window.Type: GrantFiled: December 10, 2018Date of Patent: October 6, 2020Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Stefan Kuhne, Alexander Friedrich Kuscher, Scott Ronald Violet, John Nicholas Jitkoff
