Abstract: The description relates to computing devices that have one or more displays. One example can manage the display as a unit and identify a change in a condition associated with the display. The example can alter at least one of a location, aspect ratio, or size of the unit based on the condition.

Abstract: An integrated media user interface is described. In an implementation, a user interface is output that includes a plurality of representations of media, each of the media rendered by the mobile device through execution of a respective one of a plurality of applications. Responsive to selection of at least one of the representations, a corresponding application is located to render the media represented by the at least one said representation. The media represented by the selected representation is rendered through execution of the located application.

Abstract: Application launcher sizing techniques are described. In one or more implementations, a likely usage context is determined, by a computing device, of a user in interacting with the computing device. An application launcher is dynamically sized within a display area of the user interface by the computing device based on the determined likely usage context of the user. The application launcher is configured for output responsive to an input received from a user and includes a plurality of representations of applications that are selectable to navigate to a user interface corresponding with a respective said application.

Abstract: Direct access application representation techniques are described. In one or more implementations, a user interface is exposed by an operating system of a computing device. The user interface includes a concurrent display of a plurality of representations of applications that are selectable by a user to launch respective applications, at least one of the plurality of representations includes a concurrent display of a plurality of user-selectable targets for a respective application, and each of the plurality of user-selectable targets is selectable by a user to obtain direct access to a respective one of a plurality of application functionality of the respective application. Responsive to an input indicative of user selection of one of the plurality of user-selectable targets of the at least one representation of the respective application, the direct access is provided to the respective one of the plurality of application functionality of the respective application.

Abstract: Available web content is filtered based on context data available on a mobile device. Access to the filtered web content is then made available through an infotainment user interface. Context data may be based on a variety of data including, but not limited to, location information, recent communications, scheduled appointments, social network interactions, user-specified favorites, and so on.

Abstract: A system and method for presenting content related to a radio broadcast are provided. The system may include a radio device having a receiver configured to receive a radio signal including an audio component and digitally encoded data associated with the audio component. The radio device may further include a decoder configured to decode the digitally encoded data from the radio signal. The radio device may further include a processor configured to receive the digitally encoded data from the decoder, extract a data parameter from the digitally encoded data, send a search query including the data parameter to a content service, and receive from the content service metadata associated with the data parameter. The system may further include a display configured to display the metadata received from the content service.

Abstract: Background audio for a game being played in a video game system is provided via streaming from an outside source. The background audio played is based on details regarding the state of the video game system, including information regarding the game being played on said video game system. The user can select from among several possibilities for background music, and the selection is then streamed to the video game system from the music service. Enforcement of digital rights and purchasing of tracks streamed from the music service are provided for.
