Abstract: Implementations set forth herein relate to an automated assistant that can selectively determine whether to incorporate a verbatim interpretation of portions spoken utterances into an entry field and/or incorporate synonymous content into the entry field. For instance, a user can be accessing an interface that provides an entry field (e.g., address field) for receiving user input. In order to provide input for entry field, the user can select the entry field and/or access a GUI keyboard to initialize an automated assistant for assisting with filling the entry field. Should the user provide a spoken utterance, the user can elect to provide a spoken utterance that embodies the intended input (e.g., an actual address) or a reference to the intended input (e.g., a name). In response to the spoken utterance, the automated assistant can fill the entry field with the intended input without necessitating further input from the user.

Abstract: A communication device may be configured to control access to geolocation services for applications on the communication device utilizing a first privacy access level setting that enables access to the geolocation services when selected, a second privacy access level setting that disables access to the geolocation services when selected, and other privacy access level settings that are different from, and fall between, the first privacy access level setting and the second privacy access level setting, and enable one time access to the geolocation services for the communication device when selected. The applications can include applications on the communication device that are managed and/or handled by a particular application service provider. The privacy access level settings comprise an anonymous one-time access and a non-anonymous one-time access.

Abstract: Mobile devices and associated systems and methods are described. According to one example, a mobile device may include a unique scan only mode in which a wireless communication component of the mobile device is prevented from connecting to wireless networks for data communication, but may still be used to scan for available wireless access points for location determination purposes. According to another example, a mobile device may select which of a plurality of location-determination components that the mobile device should use to determine a location of the mobile device based on whether the mobile device is configured in a unique scan only mode.

Abstract: Systems, methods, routines and/or techniques are described to protect users from undesirable content, for example, on an open platform. One or more embodiments may prevent the installation of an application package or warn a user if the application package may be undesirable (e.g., because it may contain malware). In one or more embodiments, a method may include receiving a first request to install an application package, and receiving and/or capturing metadata related to the application package. The method may include communicating a second request (e.g., including the metadata) to a remote server, such that the remote server can determine whether the application package may be undesirable. The method may include receiving a response from the remote server, where the response may indicate whether the application package may be undesirable, and initiating installation of the application package if the application package is determined to be safe and/or acceptable.
