  • Patent number: 12010080
    Abstract: A method is provided that includes receiving, by a first process executing on an electronic device and from a second process executing on the electronic device, a request for links to content items that are associated with the second process. The method further includes obtaining, by the first process and from a link index, a link to a content item associated with the second process, wherein the link index is locally stored on the electronic device and the link index comprises links to content items communicated via a third process executing on the electronic device. The link to the content item obtained from the link index is provided by the first process for presentation by the second process, wherein selection of the link causes the second process to present the content item.

  • Patent number: 12002010
    Abstract: Events that are described in either structured data (e.g. HTML web page or email) or text in a natural language description can be extracted and entered into one or more calendars on a user's device. In one embodiment, selecting an add event command in a calendar application can cause the calendar application to search, without having received any search input, in a database of extracted events, and events extracted within a predetermined period of time can be suggested as events to add to the calendar. In one embodiment, an extracted event can cause a notification to be displayed to a user. Other embodiments are also described herein.

  • Publication number: 20230396705
    Abstract: The subject disclosure provides systems and methods for application-specific do not disturb configuration for electronic devices. For example, a system process may store a set of interruption control mode identifiers of user-selected configuration options associated with an application. When the device is operated in an interruption control mode, such as a do not disturb mode, the system process may provide a set of interruption control mode identifiers to the application to facilitate operation of the application according to the user-selected configuration options.
