  • Dynamic accessibility behavior
    Patent number: 8607251
    Abstract: Configurations for dynamically detecting accessibility behavior in web client are disclosed. The subject technology initially determines whether an accessibility application (e.g., a screen reader) is executing. In one example, an event identifier is transmitted to simulate an accessibility event. The subject technology then determines whether a separate process from the web client queries for the transmitted event identifier. A global parameter is then set in the web client to enable an accessibility feature(s) of the web client if the accessibility application is executing. The subject technology then enables the web client for an accessibility mode.

  • Aggregating recurrent schedules to optimize resource consumption
    Patent number: 8230436
    Abstract: Coalescing schedules that use a resource to extend battery life. Each of the schedules is defined to execute at a recurrent activation time within a defined tolerance. After receiving notification of an event, the schedules are accessed to identify the schedules that may be executed early based on their activation time and tolerance. The identified schedules are aggregated for execution.

  • Managing event-based conditional recurrent schedules
    Patent number: 8166145
    Abstract: Managing recurrent schedules based on events and conditions. Schedules from a plurality of applications are identified based on an activation time for the schedules and a determination of whether or not conditions defined for the schedules are met. The identified schedules are activated by performing actions associated with each of the identified schedules. In an embodiment, the schedules are grouped based on functionality and prioritized to avoid conflicts within each group.
