  • Patent number: 12579191
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a system and methods for providing responses to user provided questions that are grounded in the user's browsing history and enables searching of the history for resources previously viewed based on the content of the resources. In one example embodiment, a portion of a query is received. A query suggestion relevant to the portion of the query is obtained. A resource from a history repository relevant to the portion of the query is identified by obtaining a semantic representation of the portion of the query, and identifying a semantic representation of content associated with the resource from the history repository. The semantic representation of the content includes a similarity score with the semantic representation of the query that satisfies a threshold. A resource suggestion is generated for the resource. The query suggestion and the resource suggestion is provided as selectable query completions.

  • Publication number: 20260044236
    Abstract: A method for dynamically adjusting touch suppression on a capacitive touch screen of an electronic device is described. The method includes receiving touch screen data associated with a touch event and extracting a feature of the touch event. Contextual information related to the device's state is received, and based on both the feature and the contextual information, a touch sensitivity indicating a likelihood of the touch event being a user input is determined. A touch suppression of the capacitive touch screen is then adjusted based on the determined touch sensitivity, changing touch performance by distinguishing intended user inputs from unintended touch contacts.

  • Patent number: 12504862
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described that include receiving, in a tab strip generated by a web browser application, a request to generate a tab group, generating the tab group, in response to receiving the request, where the generating includes generating a tab group identifier for the tab group, enabling pausing or starting of an activity associated with a resource accessed by a browser tab within the tab group based on whether the tab group is collapsed or expanded, and storing metadata about the tab group and the browser tab included in the tab group. The systems and methods may further include causing display of the generated tab group in the tab strip with the tab group identifier depicted in at least a portion of a user interface associated with the browser tab where the generated tab group is configured for display based on the metadata.

  • Publication number: 20250312675
    Abstract: A space saving, equal-stress distributing suspending hanger which comprises a circular plate or metal bar arrangement with securing components from which an object can be suspended from and close to an overhead surface, thereby decreasing the amount of space between the overhead surface and the suspending hanger, and eliminating the need for traditional chains, straps, or ropes which place stress inwardly on the hanging points of the suspended object.

  • Publication number: 20250110592
    Abstract: Techniques and apparatuses are described that perform screen protector presence detection. In example aspects, an electronic device detects the presence (or absence) of a screen protector based on touch screen data provided by a touch screen during a time period that a user performs a touch-based gesture. With the touch screen data, screen protector presence detection can be performed without the need for additional sensors and without placing manufacturing requirements on the screen protector. Furthermore, this technique can support the detection of a variety of different screen protectors, including screen protectors with different types of materials and thicknesses.

  • Publication number: 20250068305
    Abstract: An application may generate tab information about tabs opened on a user device. An application may identify a tab group from the tabs, the tab group including at least two tabs determined to be related based on the tab information. An application may generate a label for the tab group based on at least a portion of the tab information. An application may modify a tab strip to include the label and the tab group.
