Abstract: Content visibility on a computing device is controlled based at least in part on the current location of the computing device. When the current location is a safe location for making user-selectable content visible on a display screen of the computing device and the computing device is unlocked, the computing device operates in a full content visibility mode. In the full content visibility mode all user-selectable content on the computing device is accessible to a user of the computing device. When the current location is not a safe location for making user-selectable content visible on the display screen, the computing device operates in a reduced content visibility mode. In the reduced content visibility mode content visibility on the display screen is reduced, such as by limiting which applications (e.g., application icons or widgets) are displayed or otherwise accessible to the user.

Abstract: When a user approaches or accesses a device, the device attempts to recognize the user. A multi-user note management system takes different actions based on whether the user is recognized as the owner of the device, is recognized as a known user of the device, or is determined to be an unknown user of the device. If the user is recognized as the owner or a known user, the system receives user input and stores the user input as a note. If the user is an unknown user, the system does not allow the user to leave a note at the device, or receives user input and captures an image of the user, and stores the user input as a note associated with the captured image. When the owner of the device unlocks the device after a note has been left, the system displays or otherwise presents the notes.

Abstract: An electronic device, method, and computer program product enable limiting electromagnetic emissions from current between batteries. A first battery is positioned proximal to an earpiece speaker within the electronic device. At least one second battery is positioned at a different location within the electronic device that is not proximal to the earpiece speaker. A switch is coupled to a first battery proximal to the earpiece speaker among the plurality of batteries. The switch is selectively toggled to limit current drawn from the first battery while the earpiece speaker is operating, in order to reduce baseband electromagnetic emissions emanating from the first battery.

Abstract: A sensitive content display control system determines whether to display sensitive content on a computing device display, such as on a lock screen. The system attempts to authenticate a user of the computing device using an under-display sensor (e.g., a fingerprint sensor). One or more selectable items (e.g., icons or buttons) that correspond to sensitive content are displayed, and the under-display sensor is situated to sense authentication information of the user in response to user selection of one of the selectable items. If the user is not authenticated then the system does not display sensitive content corresponding to the one or more selectable items. If the user is authenticated, then the system displays the sensitive content corresponding to the selected item.

Abstract: Techniques for call type selection based on failure probability are described and may be implemented via a wireless device to adapt to a variety of different wireless scenarios. Generally, the described techniques provide a wireless device with the ability to implement a wireless call event via different call types, e.g., different radio access technologies (RATs). For instance, when a first call type frequently experiences failure at a particular location, a second call type is utilized to initiate calls at the location, such as based on call records for historic call events.

Abstract: Techniques for multiple call types for a call event are described and may be implemented via a wireless device to enable multiple connections for wireless calls. For instance, redundant connections for a call event of a wireless device are established via different call types and utilized to exchange call media of the call event. In at least some implementations, call media from the different call types is combined to provide a combined media stream for output as part of the call event. Thus, techniques for multiple call types for a call event are applicable to increase call quality in different scenarios and environments, such as in situations where a primary call connection experiences an anomaly condition that causes quality call degradation.

Abstract: A device receives an electronic communication from another device, such as an email. The communication is addressed to multiple recipients and the device determines an association of content in the communication to a user of the device. This association of content to a user can be determined in various manners, such as by identifying one of multiple portions of the communication that is directed to the user rather than other recipients of the communication, determining whether the user is a primary recipient or a secondary recipient of the communication, and so forth. The device generates a set of natural language responses to the communication for the user based at least in part on this association. The device displays the set of natural language responses and receives user selection of one of the natural language responses, then sends the selected natural language response to at least the other device.

Abstract: In aspects of dropping extraneous discovery messages, a device application can initiate a discovery message in a device, such as a multicast message initiated for network discovery or discovery of network services. The device implements a status module that can interpose the routing of the discovery message in the device, and determine whether a response to a previous discovery message was received. The status module can also determine a device state of the device, where the device state can indicate whether a discovery message response is necessary. The status module is implemented to drop the discovery message if the response to the previous discovery message was not received and based on the device state indicating that a discovery message response is extraneous.
