  • Patent number: 11714955
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer-storage media, for dynamic document annotations. In some implementations, a keyword is identified in a first view of a document, the first view being provided on a user interface. An annotation for the keyword is provided for display at a first location with the first view provided on the user interface. An adjustment to the first view is detected that causes a second view of the document on the user interface, where a position of the keyword in the second view is different from a position of the keyword in the first view. In response to detecting the adjustment to the first view, the annotation is hidden from the user interface, and, after hiding the annotation, the annotation for the keyword is provided for display at a second location with the second view of the document.

  • Patent number: 11714843
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer-readable storage media, for providing action objects in a semantic graph. IN some implementations, semantic graph data indicates a semantic graph of objects and relationships between the objects. The semantic graph data defines an action object that represents an action that can be initiated, and the semantic graph data indicates a particular object type or a particular data type with which the action object can be used. An object of a particular object type or data of the particular data type is identified as being involved in processing of the one or more computers. In response to identifying the use of the object of the particular object type or data of the particular data type, an indication is provided that the action represented by the action object can be initiated.

  • Patent number: 11520870
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for proximity-based access. In some implementations, a computing device detects an attempt to access the computing device while the computing device is in a secured state. In response to detecting the attempt to access the computing device, the computing device sends a first message to a server system over a network. After sending the message, the computing device receives a second message from the server system over the network, the second message comprising authentication data for the computing device. The computing device determines that a mobile device that was previously designated as an authentication factor for accessing the computing device is located within a predetermined level of proximity of the computing device, and the computing device grants access to the computing device.

  • Patent number: 11516213
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer-readable media, for authentication requests from third party interfaces. In some implementations, an information request is received to an information system from a computing system that provides a natural language interface, wherein the information request is associated with a user, and (ii) a token corresponding to the information request. In response to receiving the information request, a user data request and the token corresponding to the information request are sent for requesting user profile information for the user associated with the information request. A user identifier is extracted from user profile information received from the trusted profile provider system. A user identity is identified for the user based on a match between the extracted user identifier and a user identifier in a user registry associated with the information system.
