  • Patent number: 10956256
    Abstract: Client devices having deployed an application may experience a crash of the application. For example, a first client device may experience a first crash having a first crash signature of the application. After experiencing the first crash, a first device identification of the first client device may be assigned to a first bucket designating one or more device identifications of client devices having experienced the first crash. Client devices having device identifications in the first bucket are provided with a first crash fix for the first crash, while a second client device is not provide with the first crash fix, where the application is deployed on the second client device and the second client device was not assigned to the first bucket.

  • Patent number: 10817256
    Abstract: One or more computing devices, systems, and/or methods for controlling a volume level of a device are provided. For example, a first button corresponding to increasing a volume level of a device may be selected, and the volume level may be increased by a first amount (e.g., 10%). A second button corresponding to decreasing the volume level of the device may be selected. If the second button is determined to have been selected within a threshold period of time after the selection of the first button, the volume level may be decreased by a second amount (e.g., 5%). If the second button is determined to have not been selected within the threshold period of time after the selection of the first button, the volume level may be decreased by the first amount (e.g., 10%).

  • Patent number: 9392093
    Abstract: A method for identifying a user is provided, including the following method operations: identifying at least three contact regions on a touch sensitive surface, the contact regions defined by simultaneous contact of at least three fingers of the user with the touch sensitive surface; for each contact region, determining a center point; determining distances between each of the determined center points of the contact regions; comparing the determined distances against predefined distances associated with a known user; based on the comparing, determining the user to be the known user or not the known user.
