Abstract: Techniques for controlling a voice activated feature of a voice activated device are described. Data from one or more sensors and data indicative of a status of a user are received. Based on the analyzing the data, a proximity of the user relative to the location of the voice activated device is determined. One or more voice activated features of the voice activated device are enabled based at least in part on the determined proximity, one or more rules, and one or more user preferences.

Abstract: Methods and devices for creating a secure log of security events may include receiving a historical digest representing approved historical security events associated with a trusted network of devices. The methods and devices may include receiving one or more new security events. The methods and devices may include calculating, when a period of time has expired, a hash based on at least the historical digest and the one or more new security events and determining if a value of the hash is less than a value threshold. The methods and devices may include storing a new security event digest corresponding to a respective hash having a respective value less than the value threshold, wherein the new security event digest is confirmed by one or more trusted devices in the trusted network of devices.

Abstract: Techniques for managing a variety of types of client devices from a device management platform are provided herein. At least one client device is selected to have a management task performed, such as an imaging task. The client device(s) is/are coupled to a client administration system that administers the client device(s). A deployment job is generated for the management task. A begin request is transmitted to a plug-in module of the client administration system to begin the deployment job. The plug-in module is customized to be capable of managing received deployment jobs for the client administration system. The plug-in module enables the deployment job to be performed on the client device(s) in response to the begin request.
