Publication number: 20170374523Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for using contextual information to determine an appropriate response in a system that includes a device paired with an accessory device. The contextual information can be sourced from local sensors, received communications, and information stored on a device within the system. Stored parameters in the system allow flexibility and configurability in evaluating the contextual information. Using feedback obtained after actions taken based on the contextual information allows the system to adapt to better meet the needs of the user.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 11, 2017Publication date: December 28, 2017Inventors: Yoon Kean WONG, Andrew James WITTE, Matthew David HORNYAK, Eric Bernard MIGICOVSKY, Mark SOLOMON

Publication number: 20170359630Abstract: In particular embodiments, one or more computer systems of a social-networking system determine available media content from one or more content sources and query a social graph of a social-networking system for social content associated with a user of the social-networking system. The social graph includes nodes and edges connecting the nodes. The nodes include user nodes that are each associated with a particular user of the social-networking system. The one or more computer systems of the social-networking system determine, using the social content and the available media content, a plurality of social coefficients for the user, determine, based on the determined social coefficients, recommended media content for the user, and provide the recommended media content for display in a programming guide on a display device.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 18, 2017Publication date: December 14, 2017Inventors: Ime Archibong, Colin Cameron brennan Campbell, Robert Daniel, David Harry Garcia, Austin Haugen, Mark Heynen, Brian Krausz, Michael John McKenzie Toksvig, Erick Tseng, Yoon Kean Wong
