Publication number: 20150331699Abstract: A routing screen is presented on an electronic device by a user interface application in response to receiving a notification that an external audio device is connected to the electronic device. The routing screen displays representations of an internal audio device and the external audio device. In one aspect, the representations are buttons. In another aspect, the representations are entries in a list. If a user selects one of representations, the user interface application causes the audio signals to be routed to the audio device represented by the selection. An application control screen having a set of objects that represent functions for an audio application may also be displayed. One of the objects on the application control screen is modified in response status changes in the external audio device. A user may select this object to access the routing screen when the external audio device is connected.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 29, 2015Publication date: November 19, 2015Inventors: Christopher McKillop, Gregory Christie, Hooman Borghei, Justin Edward Santamaria, Chris Ryan, Nitin Ganatra

Publication number: 20150088988Abstract: Content such as a television program can be shared by pushing a content identifier to a queue through a social network. A share request from a sender can designate a recipient for the content. An implementation can determine if the sender and the recipient have permission to share the content. If permitted, an identifier associated with the content can be pushed to a viewing queue of the recipient. A user can subscribe to follow a viewing queue, which can provide to the user access to the queue's listing of content, as well as the content itself.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 21, 2012Publication date: March 26, 2015Applicant: Google Inc.Inventors: Yuan Yuan, Kareem Aladdin Nassar, Christopher McKillop
