  • Patent number: 10749767
    Abstract: A routing system is described herein for intelligently routing actions directed to any one of a collection of user devices that are associated with a user. In operation, the routing system receives a request from a source entity to perform an action. The routing system determines a mode of carrying out the action that involves use of one or more user devices, selected from the collection of user devices. It then instructs the selected user device(s) to carry out the action. In this manner of operation, requests that are directed to an individual user device are no longer necessarily carried out by that individual user device. The routing system chooses the user device(s) to carry out the action based on current context information together with relationship information extracted from a user graph.

  • Publication number: 20110283195
    Abstract: Various embodiments enable device theme matching. In at least some embodiments, a request for resources from a client device can be configured to include data to identify a theme that is active for the client device and/or selected programs or interfaces of the device. A web provider that receives the resource request can parse the request and make use of identifying data to ascertain a theme that is active for or associated with the client device. Based on the identifying data, the web provider can retrieve, generate, create, or otherwise obtain webpages that are configured to match or otherwise be consistent with the ascertained theme. The web provider can then communicate the configured webpages to the client device in response to the resource request.
