  • Publication number: 20220358000
    Abstract: One embodiment provides for a wearable electronic device comprising a display device, a memory device, and one or more processors to execute instructions stored in the memory device. The instructions cause the one or more processors to receive an interaction to transition an application to a front-most state on the wearable electronic device, receive a request to initiate an activity via the application in the front-most state, detect that the wearable electronic device has transitioned to a low power mode, and enable enhanced functionality for the application in the front-most state during the low power mode while the application is in the front-most stat. Enabling enhanced functionality for the application in the front-most state includes, for example, increasing an execution priority of the application while the application is in the front most state.

  • Patent number: 10592305
    Abstract: A wearable electronic device includes an application processor to execute applications on the device. A user interface for the application can be displayed on a display of the wearable device. Some applications executed on the wearable device are associated with an activity session, such as, for example, a turn-by-turn navigation session, an exercise session, a media playback session. For the duration of this session, such applications can be flagged for persistent display on the wearable device and will be displayed upon activation of the wearable device in place of the default application.

  • Patent number: 10574770
    Abstract: Modifying a notification on one client device can trigger the generation and transmission of a silent notification to another client device that is associated with the same user account. The silent notification can include instructions to query for and modify a similar notification, if present, on the other client device. Silent notifications that are undeliverable can be stored in offline storage and delivery can be reattempted at a later point in time.

  • Publication number: 20180336074
    Abstract: One embodiment provides for a method of determining application display persistence on a wearable electronic device, the method comprising receiving an application programming interface (API) call from an application to perform an action on the wearable electronic device; beginning a session on the wearable electronic device in response to determining that the API call is associated with the beginning of a session; determining, based on the application, a persistence level to apply to the application; flagging the application associated with the session as persistent; and displaying a persistent application at a next activation of the wearable electronic device in place of a default application associated with the wearable electronic device.

  • Publication number: 20090276730
    Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to providing third party applications a standardized framework for presenting user interface elements for its content. In particular, embodiments may provide application programming interfaces (APIs) to user interface views and user interface control elements. In some embodiments, the APIs may provide user interface views and control elements that can be arranged in a stack, which can allow for efficient transition and navigation between the various views of the third party applications as well as other applications on a device.
