  • Publication number: 20210389138
    Abstract: To modify a route based on a user's schedule, a first device associated with a first vehicle generates a set of navigation directions for traversing from a starting location to a destination location via a first route. The first device transmits a request for a second device associated with a second vehicle to modify a second route of the second vehicle in exchange for a reward. The modified second route of the second vehicle reduces an amount of time for the first vehicle to traverse the first route to the destination location. Then the first device provides the reward to be provided to the second device in response to determining that the second vehicle performed a maneuver in accordance with the modified second route.

  • Patent number: 10165020
    Abstract: Data reports are received from a plurality of clients including action reports and timing reports. Action reports describe actions performed by users of the clients at location within an eBook. Timing reports describe reading speeds of users of the clients. The data reports are analyzed to identify an action that is performed by the users of the clients at a location within the eBook frequently relative to other actions. Action information is generated for automatically performing the identified action at the location within the eBook. The action information is transmitted to a client. The client is configured to automatically perform the action at the location within the eBook. The reading location of a user of the client is determined based on the timing reports.

  • Patent number: 9959251
    Abstract: The structure of a digital content item is used to socially connect users consuming the digital content item. The structured representation of the digital content item is determined. This structured representation is analyzed to identify key events within the digital content item. A user's current location within the digital content item is identified. Social communications of the user are filtered responsive to the user's current location and the identified key events within the digital content item. In this way, the user may peruse social media without inadvertently reading communications that give away (e.g., spoil) key events such as important plot points.

  • Publication number: 20170139517
    Abstract: This document describes technologies for interpreting physical contact with a non-touchscreen portion of a computing device's housing (e.g., the computing device's case) as input. For example, a user tapping his/her index finger against the back of a computing device, such as a smartphone or a tablet computing device, can be interpreted as input and can cause an operation to be performed by the computing device, such as turning the page of an electronic book that is being displayed by the computing device.

  • Patent number: 8836653
    Abstract: In one general aspect, a computer-readable storage medium can store instructions that when executed cause a mobile device to perform a process. The instructions can include instructions to establish a portion of a communication link with a host device, and receive, at the mobile device, an instance of at least a portion of a user interface operating at the host device and associated with an application operating at the host device. The instructions can include instructions to receive a first signal at the mobile device from a drawing device, to receive a second signal produced by a touch-sensitive display, and to send, via the portion of the communication link, a third signal representing an interaction of the drawing device with the instance of the user interface on the touch-sensitive display of the mobile device based on the first signal and the second signal.
