  • Downloading files from a cloud storage being used as temporary cache
    Patent number: 10826991
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described to transfer content from a first computing device to a second computing that is not directly accessible from the first computing device. The transfer may be carried out using an application operating on the first computing device that uploads the content to the cloud storage service. The second computing device may operate an application that monitors the cloud storage service for recently uploaded content. When the second computing device detects that content has been uploaded to the cloud storage service, the second computing device may download the content. The second computing device may update a manifest file located on the cloud storage service to indicate that the content was downloaded. Subsequently, the first computing device may access the manifest file and determine that content was downloaded.

  • Displaying a logo on a screen of a dual-screen device
    Patent number: 10818265
    Abstract: In some examples, a computing device includes a first display device coupled to a second display device by a hinge. The computing device may use a facial recognition application to analyze image data from an imaging sensor in a bezel of the second display device to determine that the image data excludes a face of the user and determine that the second display device is not being viewed by the user. The computing device may determine an amount of ambient light falling on the second display device based on an ambient light sensor in the bezel of the second display device. A graphical image, such as a corporate logo, may be displayed on the second display device with a particular brightness amount that is determined based on the amount of the ambient light falling on the second display device.
