Abstract: In some implementations, after one or more users have each been granted a respective access token allowing access to a resource device, revocation data is received by the resource device. The revocation data indicates that the previously granted access to the resource device should be revoked. For example, the revocation data may indicate (i) a user, role, or permission level for which access is revoked and (ii) a duration that access to the resource device was allowed. After receiving the revocation data, the resource device receives token data derived from an access token that allows access to the resource device. The resource device determines that the access token relies on authorization of the user, role, or permission level indicated by the revocation data, and in response, the resource device denies access.
Abstract: Systems and methods for optimizing content layout using behavior metrics are provided. Behavioral data is collected for a content item presented on a client device. The behavioral data indicates various locations within a display area of the content item at which a user action (e.g., clicking) occurs. The behavioral data is used to assign weights to various components of a layout scheme for the content item. A user action that occurs within an area of the content item associated with a particular component of the layout scheme contributes to the weight of the corresponding component. The weights associated with each component of the layout scheme are used to optimize the layout for the content item. Components with greater assigned weights are highlighted or emphasized. The display sizes of components in the optimized layout scheme may correspond to the weights associated with the components.
Abstract: A computing device is described that outputs, for display at a presence-sensitive display, a graphical keyboard comprising a plurality of keys. The computing device determines, based on an initial selection of one or more keys from the plurality of keys, one or more candidate words. The computing device also determines, based on the one or more candidate words, a probability that a particular key will be selected after the initial selection of the one or more keys. Responsive to determining that the probability does not satisfy a probability threshold, the computing device outputs, for display at the presence-sensitive display, an updated graphical keyboard that includes a graphical indication designating an area of the graphical keyboard associated with the particular key as being an additional portion of the graphical keyboard for selecting a character associated with an adjacent key.
Abstract: Disclosed are methods and systems for determining distance between two or more mobile devices utilizing a sound emitted from each device such as a chirp.

Abstract: Implementations relate to automatic response suggestions to images included in received messages. In some implementations, a computer-implemented method includes detecting an image posted within a first message by a first user, and programmatically analyzing the image to determine a feature vector representative of the image. The method programmatically generates one or more suggested responses to the first message based on the feature vector, each suggested response being a conversational reply to the first message. Generating the suggested responses includes determining probabilities associated with word sequences for the feature vector using a model trained with previous responses to previous images, and selecting one or more of the word sequences based on the associated probabilities. The suggested responses are determined based on the selected word sequences. The method causes the suggested responses to be rendered in the messaging application as one or more suggestions to a second user.
