The received commands including document text for the document. The method further includes detecting, within the respective document text, an embedded request to invite a specified user to access the respective document, and responding by sending an invitation to the specified user, and, if needed, adding the specified user to an access control list of the respective document to enable the specified user to access the document in response to detecting the embedded request.

Abstract: Disclosed are a method, apparatus, and system for using call activity as a basis to trigger social-network expansion. Upon detecting threshold call activity between a first party and a second party and determining that a social-network group of the first party does not include a social-network connection with the second party, a process is triggered to add to the first party's social-network group a connection with the second party.

Abstract: Systems and methods for priority inbox notifications and synchronization are disclosed. In some embodiments, a method includes, at a computer system, obtaining message information from a server system. The message information represents a set of messages and an importance score associated with each message in the set of messages. The importance score is generated based at least in part on a global importance prediction model and a user importance prediction model. A new mail notification is presented when a determination is made that the set of messages include one or more unread priority messages. The priority messages comprise messages with which the associated importance score satisfy one or more predefined message importance criteria: Optionally, presentation of a new mail notification is foregone when there is a determination that the set of messages do not include any unread priority messages.

Abstract: In general, the subject matter described in this specification can be embodied in methods, systems, and program products for monitoring application program resource consumption. Information that identifies consumption, by multiple computing devices and at requests of a particular application program, of resources that correspond to the computing devices is accessed. Each of the multiple computing devices provided a portion of the information. The accessed information is analyzed by a computing system to determine one or more values that identify consumption of the resources by at least a subset of the computing devices. An indicium that illustrates the one or more values is provided for display on a particular computing device and in cooperation with a display of a network-accessible application program software marketplace. The application program software marketplace provides application program software for execution by the particular computing device and other computing devices.

One or more of the applications that are associated with the restricted permission are identified by the servers associated with the application marketplace, and access by the particular user to the applications that are associated with the restricted permission is restricted by the servers associated with the application marketplace.

Abstract: Methods and systems for syndicating media with distributed content rights. A system whereby an alternate website can enable media services for their audience by allowing content submitters to directly contribute media files for distribution to a web based media provider while maintaining member rights and member managed distribution channels is presented. In addition, by the use of metadata the media files can be easily referenced, included, and searched on by the alternate website. A method for syndicating media with distributed content rights is also presented.

Abstract: A certification is received from a user stating that captured content does not comprise a particular restricted element and a request from the user for an adjustment of a digital rights management rule identified for the captured content based on the captured content comprising the particular restricted element. At least one term of the digital rights management rule is adjusted to reflect that the captured content does not comprise the particular restricted element. The usage of the captured content by the user is monitored to determine whether the usage matches the certification statement.

One or more of the applications that are associated with the restricted permission are identified by the servers associated with the application marketplace, and access by the particular user to the applications that are associated with the restricted permission is restricted by the servers associated with the application marketplace.

Abstract: Methods and systems for streaming content from a first device to a second device may include streaming content from the first device to the second device over a first connection. Next, it may be determined that the first device is connected to the second device by a second connection. As a result, content may be streamed from the first device to the second device over the second connection. Further, upon determination that the first device is connected to the second device by the second connection, the first connection between the first device and the second device may be disconnected. Further, streaming of the content is uninterrupted upon switching from the first connection to the second connection. Additionally, a mobile device for streaming content to a second device is also provided.

Abstract: This disclosure is directed to techniques for text entry/modification using a touch-sensitive device. In one example, the techniques include presenting, by a touch-sensitive device, a graphical keyboard. The graphical keyboard includes at least one character image that represents at least one text character and that is selectable by a user to input the at least one text character. User input may be detected that indicates user selection of at least one formatting option associated with text that is presentable by the touch-sensitive device. A presentation of the at least one character image may be modified to display an indication of the selected formatting option.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes generating data indicative of one or more times in which to sample content of a first resource and content of a second resource; receiving, from a client device, content of the first resource sampled at the one or more times; comparing the sampled content from the first resource to content sampled from the second resource at the one or more times; determining, based on comparing, that the first resource includes a same resource as the second resource; verifying, based on determining, ownership of the second resource; generating, based on a verifying, a user key specifying ownership of the second resource; and transmitting the user key to the client device.

Abstract: Systems and methods for site-dependent embedded media playback manipulation whereby a media owner can enable limited embedding on non-owned or non-monetized websites to direct traffic to a more valuable location. The content owner can specify sets of internet locations with associated sets of rules governing content playback criteria as well as restrictions based upon user categorizations. A playback restriction system consists of a media delivery system and a playback rules system. The media delivery system controls the delivery of the media file with embedded restrictions. The playback rules system controls the nature of the restrictions and the rules of when they are applied. Users will be directed to the location of a more valuable website where the media can be viewed with a less restrictive set of rules.

Abstract: A method for automatically provisioning a platform implementation package to a client device may include receiving from an application executing on the client device, a request for functionality. The request may be received via a client library distributed with the application, and may be for functionality provided by the platform implementation package. The platform implementation package may provide functionality that is not provided by the client library. It may be further automatically determined, by the client device, that the functionality requires an update to the platform implementation package. In response, a request for the update to the platform implementation package may be communicated to a computing system. The update to the platform implementation package may be received from the computing system and installed on the client device. The requested functionality may be provided to the application by the updated platform implementation package.
