  • Patent number: 10891342
    Abstract: Implementations relate to content data determination, transmission, and storage for local devices. In some implementations, a computer-implemented method includes determining an event for a user based on user data associated with the user, and includes programmatically analyzing the user data having one or more references to at least one of persons, locations, and scheduled activities. The method determines a set of content items to be accessed at the event, where one or more content items of the set are determined based on the user data, and the set of content items includes content data related to the event. Prior to a time of the event, the set of content items are transmitted over a communication network from network storage to local device(s) associated with the user, where the content items are stored in local storage of the local device(s).

  • Patent number: 10070308
    Abstract: The disclosed technology includes techniques for allowing a contact to exercise control over a third party's sharing of the contact's mobile contact information with mobile applications. A contact may create an application contact key containing rules that govern when a third party may share the contact information with mobile applications. The application contact key may be stored in association with the contact information on a third party's mobile device, on a remote server, or as part of a social networking website. The application contact key may instruct the mobile device whether or not to share the contact information with a particular mobile application. Further, an application contact import management system may track all requests from various mobile applications to access the contact information, and may provide for a seamless future on-boarding experience in the event the contact later decides to accept a previously denied request to share the contact information.

  • Publication number: 20180188906
    Abstract: A method includes outputting a graphical user interface that includes a single graphical element corresponding to grouping of a plurality of applications. A plurality of actions is associated with the plurality of applications, each action from the plurality of actions is an action to be performed by the respective application during executing the respective application. The method includes determining, from the plurality of actions, a subset of actions that are more likely to be selected, by a user, than other actions from the plurality of actions that are not included in the subset. The method also includes receiving an indication of a user input that selects the single graphical element and determining whether the user input is a first type of input or a second type of input. The method further includes, if the user input is a second type of user input, outputting, a graphical indication of the subset of actions.

  • Patent number: 9571514
    Abstract: An approach is provided to improve security of security questions. In the approach, the system prompts a user for a security question. The security question and security answer associated with the security question are received by the system using a user input to the information handling system. Network-accessible data stores, such as social network accounts, are searched for the security answer resulting in search results. The searching results reveal a risk level which is identified by the system. The identified risk level is provided to the user, such as at a display device.
