Abstract: An example method includes receiving, by a user device, authorization to engage in autofill for an application displayed on the user interface (UI) of the user device. The method further includes detecting an autofill trigger event and determining a subset of content excluding user-specific information. The method also includes transmitting a request containing the subset to a remote provider for candidate data for use in autofill. The method further includes receiving a response from the remote provider containing one or more candidate values for use in autofill. The method additionally includes filling the one or more text input fields displayed on the UI with the corresponding one or more candidate values.

Abstract: Methods and systems for updating components on a computing device are described herein. A computing device may perform an example method, which may include receiving, at the computing device, a notification of an update corresponding to an existing component on the computing device. Responsive to receiving the notification, the computing device may receive inputs from sensors of the computing device, which may provide information indicative of a given state of use, time of day, and location associated with the computing device. Based on a weighted combination of the inputs, the computing device may determine whether to update the existing component on the computing device and update the existing component. In some instances, the computing device may use information provided by another computing device to determine whether or not to initiate an update process.

Abstract: Disclosed is a two-factor method for protecting access to content, device functionality accounts and the like through portable devices. A master device may facilitate a subordinate device's access to the on-line account by situating the master device in close proximity to the unauthorized user's portable device. Once within close proximity of one another, the devices may exchange information that may eventually allow the subordinate device to access an account, an application or the like.

Abstract: Described is a technique for retroactively securing a mobile device from a remote source. A user may remotely lock the bootloader of the device from a device management portal. Accordingly, a user may essentially “brick” the device rendering the device unusable by another user until an additional security check is passed. The ability to remotely lock the device may be provided in response to a notification of a potentially unauthorized access of the device. The unauthorized access may include a reset or wipe of the device. Accordingly, the technique provides the ability of an authorized user to secure the mobile device even after being maliciously disassociated from the device.

Abstract: Methods and systems for provisioning a computing device are provided. An example method may include receiving, by a computing device, information indicating a uniform resource identifier (URI) and a wireless access point configured to allow the computing device to connect to a wireless network to enable the computing device to access the URI. The method may also include downloading, onto the computing device, a provisioning software application from the URI. The method may also include executing the provisioning software application on the computing device, wherein the provisioning software application is configured to provision the computing device such that the provisioned computing device is configured to operate in a limited function mode. The method may also include locking the provisioned computing device to prevent changes to the limited function mode.

Abstract: A display method and apparatus for displaying three-dimensional terrains and route guidance achieves a flexible and high detail three-dimensional display operation by enabling to change parameters, such as a viewing angle of a selected three-dimensional object, a height of a selected three-dimensional object, and a level of details (LOD) of a selected part of the image. The display method and apparatus also enables to compensate discontinuity, if any, at a border portion of two or more images where such parameters have been changed. Since such a change is made only a selected portion or object on the three-dimensional image, a computation power, memory space or other resources of the navigation system may not be overburdened by such operations.

Abstract: An information display device for displaying three-dimensional route and terrain includes a plurality of databases for storing information; a display control unit to dynamically manage the information with different levels-of-detail (LODs); and a user interface communicatively coupled with the control unit to display the managed information with different levels of detail. In one embodiment, the control unit may include a terrain scaling unit to dynamically increase or decrease the height or “3D-ness” of the terrain based on the angle and height of the viewing. The control unit may also include an LOD control unit and a scene stitching unit. In addition, the information display device provides a three-dimensional real-time rendering environment including three-dimensional guidance information which allows the user to understand complex maneuvers without using two-dimensional overlays.
