Abstract: A computing device is described that receives an indication of a notification, and determines a priority level associated with the notification. The computing device determines, based at least in part on the priority level, content of the notification. Responsive to receiving an indication of a gesture detected at an input device, the computing device outputs, for display, a notification center graphical user interface that includes a graphical indication of the notification including the content of the notification.

Abstract: In one example, a technique may include outputting, by a computing device associated with a user and for playback at a first volume level by an audio output device, first audio data, receiving, by the computing device, audio input data, and responsive to determining, by the computing device, that the audio input data includes speech associated with an entity different from the user, determining, by the computing device and based at least in part on the audio input data, whether to output second audio data. The method may also include, responsive to determining to output the second audio data: determining, by the computing device, a second volume level lower than the first volume level, and outputting, by the computing device and for playback at the second volume level by the audio output device, the second audio data.

Abstract: A computing device (CD) outputs a graphical user interface (GUI) for display at a display device (DD). The GUI includes a grouping of elements that includes an expandable element (EE) having a first size. While the DD displays a first or a last element of the grouping, the CD receives an indication of a gesture including a linear movement of an input point away from the first or last element, e.g., in a direction in which the EE is expandable, and outputs a modified GUI that includes the EE having a second size. Alternatively, the GUI includes multiple EEs having respective sizes. The CD receives an indication of a gesture including a linear movement of multiple input points across the DD, and, while the input points are located within a region of the DD that displays an EE, outputs a modified GUI that includes the EE having a different size.

Abstract: A computing device is described that receives an indication of a first gesture received at an input device. Responsive to receiving the indication of the first gesture, the computing device outputs, for display, a first information panel having a size. The computing device receives an indication of a second gesture received at the input device. The second gesture has a gesture length. Responsive to receiving the indication of the second gesture, the computing device outputs, for display, an updated graphical user interface that includes the first information panel and a second information panel. The second information panel has a panel length that corresponds to the gesture length of the second gesture.

Abstract: A computing device is described that outputs, for display, a graphical indication of a first notification and a graphical indication of a second notification. The first and second notifications each include a respective first content portion and a respective second content portion. The graphical indication of the first notification includes both the first content portion and the second content portion of the first notification. The graphical indication of the second notification includes only the first content portion of the second notification. The computing device receives an indication of an input to remove the first notification from display. Responsive to the input, the computing device ceases to output, for display, the graphical indication of the first notification and outputs, for display, the graphical indication of the second notification by including the second content portion of the second notification in addition to the first content portion of the second notification.

Abstract: A computing device is described that outputs, for display, a graphical indication of a notification that includes selectable graphical elements that each indicate a respective optional action associated with the notification. Responsive to receiving an indication of an input that corresponds to a selection of one of the selectable graphical elements, the computing device executes the respective optional action indicated by the selected one of the selectable graphical elements.

Abstract: A system and a method are disclosed for presenting static and dynamic data on a mobile device for a contact responsive to a communication with the contact. When a communication is initiated, a contact is identified based on static information such as an email address or a phone number. Additionally, dynamic data, such as a status message posted on a social networking service associated with contact, or a location of the contact is retrieved from appropriate services or databases in real time. The retrieved dynamic data is displayed on a user interface on the mobile device in substantially real-time, allowing the user to view static and dynamic information about a contact.

Abstract: A mechanism for a user to navigate a list on a touch sensitive screen by making on-screen gestures is described. Items in the list are sorted based on a common attribute, and grouped into different categories associated with the attribute. A portion of the items are displayed in the sorted sequence in a graphical user interface (UI) on a touch sensitive screen. When the user makes an on-screen gesture, one or more corresponding categories are identified and their indicators are dynamically and prominently displayed as feedback. Once the gesture is completed, the graphical UI scrolls to the portion of the list including items in the desired category.
