Abstract: An electronic device with a touch-sensitive surface displays a user interface of a first software application that is updated at a first display rate. While displaying a first frame of the user interface in accordance with the first display rate, the device detects respective movement of a touch input across the touch-sensitive surface. An application-independent touch processing module of the device selects a respective touch location of the touch input that was detected during the respective movement to identify as a representative touch location for the respective movement based on touch-processing criteria for the first software application, and sends to an application-specific portion of the first software application touch location information for the touch input that identifies the respective touch location as the representative touch location for the respective movement. The first software application updates the user interface in accordance with the touch location information.

Abstract: A fault model representation of a computer network is generated, wherein the computer network includes a set of connected computer network elements that was at least in part configured based on a specified declarative intent in forming the computer network. A symptom representation for the computer network is determined based on telemetry data of one or more elements of the set of connected computer network elements and a behavior specification repository identifying symptoms and their associated root causes. The fault model representation and the symptom representation are provided to a root cause analysis to determine one or more root causes of one or more detected symptoms of the computer network.

Abstract: Some examples include detecting that a source computing device is in proximity to a target computing device. For instance, a user credential of the source computing device may be received from the source computing device. Further, a copy of system data of the source computing device may be retrieved from a cloud storage service. A system state of the source computing device may be restored on the target computing device by using the user credential received from the source computing device and the copy of the system data of the source computing device retrieved from the cloud storage. In some cases, the user credential may expire on the target computing device after a predetermined system event in the target computing device.

Abstract: In some examples, an electronic device may determine a target time to which the remaining battery charge is to last, such as based on a user input or historical usage of the electronic device. Additionally, the electronic device may determine a current amount of the battery charge remaining, and may determine user activities likely to occur between the present time and the target time. Based at least partially on the amount of the battery charge remaining and the user activities determined to be likely to occur before the target time, the electronic device may apply one or more power management restrictions to one or more resources of the electronic device.

Abstract: Some examples of application state synchronization may include receiving, at a server, application state data from an electronic device. For instance, the application state data may represent an application state of a computer application running at the electronic device when a backup event occurs. An analysis may be performed based on at least one of a user profile or a usage pattern. A set of electronic devices may be identified based on the analysis. Further, the application state data may be transmitted to the set of electronic devices.

Abstract: In some implementations, a mobile device can be configured to monitor environmental, system and user events. The occurrence of one or more events can trigger adjustments to system settings. In some implementations, the mobile device can be configured to keep frequently invoked applications up to date based on a forecast of predicted invocations by the user. In some implementations, the mobile device can receive push notifications associated with applications that indicate that new content is available for the applications to download. The mobile device can launch the applications associated with the push notifications in the background and download the new content. In some implementations, before running an application or accessing a network interface, the mobile device can be configured to check energy and data budgets and environmental conditions of the mobile device to preserve a high quality user experience.

Abstract: Technologies are shown for selecting a provider to service a client service request using a predictive metrics based consensus protocol to select a provider and create a service request transaction block to service the client service request. A client service request is received and forwarded to a set of providers. Proposed transactions are received from the providers and scored based on a predictive metric. A proposal transaction is selected based on the scoring and the selected transaction is written as a block on a service transaction blockchain. The provider for the selected transaction detects the block on the blockchain and performs the requested service. The client detects the block on the blockchain and transfers payment to the provider. Selection can be based on predictive metrics in the providers or macro metrics determined in miner nodes in combination with provider reputation, currency, load sharing, fairness, provisioning, and static and dynamic criteria.

Abstract: Technologies are shown for authenticating service requests on a communication link established using a digital certificate owned by an entity, where permissions data is associated with the digital certificate. A service request is received from the entity through the communication link. Responsive to the service request, the permissions data associated with the digital certificate is obtained and the service request checked against the permissions data associated with the digital certificate. If the service request is permitted based on the permissions data, the service request is processed. If the service request is not permitted based on the permissions data, the service request is rejected. The permissions data can be stored on a blockchain with a blockchain address in the certificate, in a certificate authority for the certificate, or locally on a server receiving the service request.

The vision-based guidance system enables autonomous trajectory planning and motion execution by the described systems and methods without feedback or communication with external operators. The systems and methods described herein can autonomously track an object of interest while seeking to obtain a diversity of views of the object of interest to aid in object identification. The systems and methods described include a robust reacquisition methodology. By handling navigation and tracking autonomously, systems described herein can react more quickly to non-cooperative moving objects of interest and can operate in situations where communications with external operators is compromised or absent.

Abstract: Some examples include performing a priority synchronization of a computing device to download a selected set of data files to the computing device from a distributed backup system. Data files are downloaded to a computing device by synchronizing with a server of the distributed backup system. A priority sync downloads a subset of the data files as priority files, rather than all of the data files of the user, thereby minimizing the computing resources consumed to download the data files. The priority sync can select the priority files based on various criteria, including an access pattern of the data files, attributes of the data files, or attributes of the computing device. The priority sync may also download non-priority files. The priority files may be downloaded in their original format and the non-priority files may be downloaded in a downgraded format.

Abstract: Some examples include decomposing an application into fragments and streaming the application in fragments. For instance, a plurality of application fragments may include a first application fragment and a second application fragment that each correspond to a portion of a mobile game application. When streaming the first application fragment to the mobile device, a system may determine that the second application fragment follows the first application fragment based on a fragments relationship data structure. The fragments relationship data structure may associate the first application fragment with the second application fragment based on an analysis of the fragment information that indicates that the second application fragment follows the first application fragment during operation of the mobile game application. The system may stream the second application fragment to the mobile device based on the determination that the second application fragment follows the first application fragment.

Abstract: Multiuse certificates (e.g., wildcard certificates) can be associated with policies that specify one or more computational constraints, e.g., limited processor power, limited access time, limited access to file system usage, or limited memory access. An application associated with a multiuse certificate can be monitored to ensure that the specified computational constraints are not violated. Upon the computational constraints being violated, the multiuse certificate can be invalidated and/or authentication requests rejected.

Abstract: Delivery routing for an item is dynamically changed based on environmental conditions the item experiences during transport. The item may be associated with thresholds describing environmental conditions which must be maintained to avoid damage to the item. If sensors associated with the item detect deviation from the set thresholds during transport, instructions to reroute the item may be dynamically generated and provided to a vehicle or shipping agent responsible for transporting the item. Options for rerouting the item include returning it to the sender, disposing of it in a nearby disposal facility, sending to an inspection facility, or sending it on to the original destination location. The environmental thresholds associated with an item, records of conditions measured by sensors during transport, and alternative delivery locations may be stored in a distributed ledger such as a blockchain. Entities associated with the shipment may have access to the distributed ledger.
