  • Patent number: 11714815
    Abstract: Provided are methods and computer-readable media for providing recommended entities based on a user's external social graph, such as asymmetric social graph of a social networking service. In some embodiments, entities responsive to a search query or other request may be obtained. Each entity may be evaluated to determine if the entity is associated with a contact from a user's social graph. The association may include an evaluation (e.g., a rating, review, other evaluation or combination thereof) of the entity by the contact. Additionally, the contacts having associations with an entity may be ranked based on a relationship score with a user. The entities having associations with the contacts from a user's social graph may be provided as recommended entities to the user, and the association may be annotated to the recommended entity for viewing by the user.

  • Patent number: 9530410
    Abstract: Embodiments may be implemented by a computing device, such as a head-mountable display, in order to use a single guard phrase to enable different voice commands in different interface modes. An example device includes an audio sensor and a computing system configured to analyze audio data captured by the audio sensor to detect speech that includes a predefined guard phrase, and to operate in a plurality of different interface modes comprising at least a first and a second interface mode. During operation in the first interface mode, the computing system may initially disable one or more first-mode speech commands, and respond to detection of the guard phrase by enabling the one or more first-mode speech commands. During operation in the second interface mode, the computing system may initially disable a second-mode speech command, and to respond to the guard phrase by enabling the second-mode speech command.

  • Publication number: 20160299641
    Abstract: Methods, apparatuses, and computer-readable media are described herein related to a user interface and interactions for a head-mountable device. An HMD can display a first interaction screen of an ordered plurality of interaction screens. The first interaction screen may include information corresponding to a first interaction associated with a contact of the HMD. While displaying the first interaction screen, the HMD can receive an input at the HMD. The input may be associated with the contact and comprises a second interaction. The HMD can also associate a second interaction screen with the ordered plurality of interaction screens. The second interaction screen may include information corresponding to the second interaction. The HMD can further display the second interaction screen using the HMD.
