Abstract: Systems and methods of transferring data from memory to manage graphical output latency are provided. A device having a display receives an acoustic signal that carries a query. The device determines that a wireless controller is in a first state. The device establishes, based on receipt of the acoustic signal and the determination that the wireless controller device is in the first state, a first interaction mode for a graphical user interface rendered by the computing device for display via the display device. The device sets a prefetch parameter to a first value and prefetches the corresponding amount of electronic content items. The device establishes a second interaction mode and overrides the first value of the prefetch parameter to a second value, and prefetches a second amount of electronic content items corresponding to the second value.

Abstract: Techniques are described for electronic content delivery. One method includes receiving information associated with the prescription order of a user account.

Abstract: An interface circuit in an electronic device may communicate using communication protocol in a shared band of frequencies. During operation, the interface circuit may perform a scan of available channels in the shared band of frequencies, and may detect one or more used channels in the shared band of frequencies that are reserved or used by another communication protocol (such as a primary channel that is used by both of the communication protocols). Alternatively, the interface circuit may receive, from another interface circuit in the electronic device, information specifying the one or more used channels in the shared band of frequencies that are reserved or used by the other communication protocol. Next, the interface circuit may mask the one or more used channels from the available channels, and the interface circuit may select one or more channels from the remaining available channels for use with the communication protocol.
