  • Publication number: 20160188536
    Abstract: Methods, apparatus, and computer-readable media are described herein related to a user interface (UI) for a computing device, such as head-mountable device (HMD). The UI allows a user of the HMD to navigate through a timeline of ordered screens or cards shown on the graphic display of the HMD. The cards on the timeline may be chronologically ordered based on times associated with each card. Numerous cards may be added to the timeline such that a user may scroll through the timeline to search for a specific card. The HMD may be configured to group cards on the timeline. The cards may be grouped by multiple time periods and by various content types within each respective time period. The cards may also be grouped based on durations between the present/on-going time period and each respective time period.

  • Patent number: 9361084
    Abstract: Methods and systems for receiving applications are described. A device, such as a wearable computing device, may receive an input, which may be verbal, motion, or text, for example. The device may parse the input to recognize any keywords and may further identify applications associated with the recognized keywords. The device may determine a priority list for the identified applications based at least in part on a relevance associated with the recognized keywords. In addition, the device may provide for display the priority list of the applications. The device may receive a request to access an application from the plurality of applications, and in response to the request to access the application, install the application. The device may further execute the installed application to perform a function based at least in part on the verbal input, which may be executed without additional input after installation.

  • Patent number: 9222782
    Abstract: A computing device is described that determines an exit location at which a user of a computing device exited a stop associated with a transportation service. The computing device determines a predicted duration of travel by the user from a current location of the computing device to the exit location at which the user exited the stop associated with the transportation service. The computing device outputs, for display, a notification based at least in part on the predicted duration.

  • Publication number: 20150189006
    Abstract: Methods for device pairing via a cloud server are provided. In one aspect, a method includes sending an initial signal from a first device to a second device. The method includes sending a notification from the first device of a set of communication capabilities of the first device. The method also includes receiving an indication of a common communication capability between the first and second devices. The method includes initiating pairing of the first device and the second device using the common communication capability in response to the received indication. Systems and machine-readable media are also provided.

  • Patent number: 8963806
    Abstract: A head-mountable device configured to authenticate a wearer is disclosed. The head-mountable device can receive an indication of an eye gesture from at least one proximity sensor in the head-mountable device configured to generate sensor data indicative of light reflected from an eye area. The head-mountable device can capture biometric information indicative of one or more biometric identifiers of a wearer of the head-mountable device responsive to receiving the indication of the eye gesture. The head-mountable device can authenticate the wearer of the head-mountable device based on a comparison of the captured biometric information and a stored biometric profile.
