Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for receiving, by a removable computing device that is electrically connected to a computing system through a physical connection, contact information from a contact list that is assigned to a user account. The user account is associated with a mobile computing device that is in wireless communication with the removable computing device. The removable computing device is configured to physically disconnect from the computing system. The removable computing device provides the computing system with the contact information for presentation by a display of the computing system. The removable computing device receives from the computing system an indication of user input requesting that the mobile computing device initiate communication with a device identified by the contact information.

Abstract: A driver may provide preferred vehicle setting data to a system through a user interface or the system may detect the preferred driver vehicle setting data by communicating with a particular vehicle. The preferred vehicle setting data may be generalized/abstracted so that the data is not specific to any one vehicle. When the driver sits in any vehicle, the system may identify the type of vehicle and translate the abstracted driver vehicle setting data to driver vehicle setting data that is particular to the identified vehicle.

Abstract: Vehicle setting data received from a vehicle is processed according to preferences and rules set forth by the vehicle's driver. The processed vehicle setting data can be shared with various third-parties.

Abstract: Driver vehicle setting values are crowd-sourced from multiple users in an anonymous manner. The crowd-sourced driver vehicle setting values are processed using machine learning to generate one or more vehicle setting recommendations to other users. The recommendations may be for vehicle settings that the user has not yet activated or vehicle setting values that are frequently used for a particular vehicle.

Abstract: In some implementations, user input specifying a character to be included in a search query is received and a determination is made (i) that all identified search results responsive to the search query can be simultaneously provided on a display, (ii) that adding one or more additional characters to the search query up to a maximum number of characters will not reduce the number of search results responsive to the search query to a number greater than zero, or (iii) that the search query includes the maximum number of characters. Search results are provided on the display in response to the determination.

Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods for automatically selecting a content provider for delivery of content for consumption by a user. Various selection data such as cost, subscription plan, and so forth are gathered and a weighting profile is applied to generate a total weight by content provider. The total weight by content provider may be used to select one content provider from another for delivery of a particular piece of content.

Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods for automatically selecting a content provider for delivery of content for consumption by a user. Various selection data such as cost, historical delivery bitrate, and so forth are gathered and a weighting profile is applied to generate a total weight by content provider. The total weight by content provider may be used to select one content provider from another for delivery of a particular piece of content.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus are provided for user interface operation. In one embodiment, a method includes displaying a user interface including one or more graphical elements, wherein display of the user interface is associated with a display configuration, and detecting a user command associated with navigating to one or more previously displayed user interface display configurations. The method may further include storing a user interface configuration for the display configuration, and adjusting display of the user interface based on the user command.
