  • Patent number: 11122328
    Abstract: In some implementations, a computing device can transfer a playback queue between the computing device and a playback device. For example, the computing device can detect when the computing device is within a threshold distance of a playback device. The computing device can establish a connection to the playback device and receive state information describing the media playback state of the playback device. The computing device can determine the media playback state of the computing device. The computing device can present graphical user interfaces for initiating a transfer of a playback queue between the computing device and the playback device based on the playback state of the devices. The computing device can initiate a transfer of the playback queue in response to user input to one of the graphical user interfaces or automatically based on the context of the computing device.

  • Publication number: 20210213745
    Abstract: A fluidic ejection cartridge and protective tape therefor. The cartridge includes a cartridge body for an organic solvent-based fluid having a cover closing a first end thereof, an ejection head on a second end thereof and side walls attached to the first and second ends between the first and second ends. The side walls include a first side wall, a second side wall opposite the first side wall, a first end wall attached to the first and second side walls, and a second end wall opposite the first end wall attached to the first and second side walls. A removable tape is attached to a nozzle plate of the ejection head and to a portion of the first side wall. The removable tape contains a polymeric backing film and a glass-filled, platinum-cured silicone adhesive. The glass-filled, platinum-cured silicone adhesive is cross-linked with silane and a second cross-linking agent.

  • Publication number: 20210109836
    Abstract: In some embodiments, an electronic device presents indications of usage metrics for the device. In some embodiments, an electronic device sets, configures and/or enforces device usage limits. In some embodiments, an electronic device limits access to certain applications during certain periods of time. In some embodiments, an electronic device suppresses auxiliary functions of certain applications when an application usage limit or restriction criteria associated with those applications is reached. In some embodiments, an electronic device manages restriction settings with permission optionally provided by another electronic device.

  • Publication number: 20210081102
    Abstract: An electronic device with a display device displays a user interface that includes content. The electronic device, while displaying the user interface that includes content, detects a first input. The electronic device, in response to detecting the first input, displays an annotation layer over the displayed content. At least a portion of the content is visible through the annotation layer. The electronic device, while displaying the annotation layer, displays a set of markup tools, including a plurality of tools for adding marks to the annotation layer. The electronic device detects a second input selecting a first markup tool of the set of markup tools. The electronic device adds one or more marks on the annotation layer in accordance with one or more additional inputs using the selected first markup tool.

  • Publication number: 20210029184
    Abstract: One embodiment provides for a data processing system comprising a memory device to store instructions and one or more processors to execute the instructions stored on the memory device. The instructions cause the one or more processors to provide a virtual assistant to receive voice input at a media playback device associated with the data processing system. The virtual assistant, via the one or more processors, is configured to receive a voice command at the media playback device, where the voice command is to schedule an event, then determine a user account associated with the voice command, a type of command based on context information associated with the voice command, and a target device to which media playback associated with the event is to be scheduled.

  • Publication number: 20210014613
    Abstract: A computer system detects an occurrence of a respective event. In response, and in accordance with a determination that a first wearable audio output component of a wearable audio output device is at least partially in a first ear of the user and that a second wearable audio output component of the wearable audio output device is at least partially in a second ear of the user, the computer system displays acoustic seal information for the wearable audio output device, including concurrently displaying, via the display device: a first indication of a quality of a first acoustic seal between the first wearable audio output component and the first ear of the user; and a second indication, distinct from the first indication, of a quality of a second acoustic seal between the second wearable audio output component and the second ear of the user.

  • Publication number: 20210014610
    Abstract: While a first wearable audio output component of a wearable audio output device is in a first position relative to a first ear of a user and a second wearable audio output component of the wearable audio output device is in the first position relative to a second ear, a computer system operates the wearable audio output device in a first mode. While doing so, the computer system detects a change in position of the first component from the first position to a second position; and, in response, while the second component is maintained in the first position, the computer system transitions the wearable audio output device from the first mode to a different, second mode that is a pass-through mode in which audio outputs provided via the wearable audio output device include pass-through audio components that include at least a portion of ambient sound from the physical environment.
