Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are disclosed for systems and methods for voice-based device operation mode management. Example methods may include determining that a device is coupled to an accessory device, and determining that being coupled to the accessory device triggers activation of a first operation mode at the device. The first operation mode presents digital content at the display in a user interface having a first content density that is less than a second content density of a second operation mode. Example methods may include causing the device to activate the first operation mode, receiving first voice data indicative of a request to change the device operation mode to the second operation mode, and causing the device to activate the second operation mode.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are disclosed for systems and methods for selective requests for authentication for voice-based launching of applications. Example methods may include receiving first audio data representing an utterance, determining that the device is in a first operating mode when the audio data was received, determining that the device is in a locked state when the audio data is received, and receiving, from a remote system, a command to display information based at least on part on the audio data. Certain methods may include receiving an indication that the utterance was spoken by a user authorized to access the information while in the first operating mode and the locked state, and causing presentation of the information by the device.

Abstract: A system of one or more processors receives information from a computing device associated with a user profile, the information identifying a first list of content items including first episode in a series. The system determines that the first episode has been played using a content state of the first episode. The system determines a second list of content items, including a second episode in the series as an unsolicited content item and removing the first episode from the second list. The system sends the second list to the computing device and the computing device deletes the first episode and downloads the second episode in the series without first receiving a download request from a user or application of the computing device.

Abstract: Methods and systems are described for storing metadata in a network of distributed remote storage devices. An example computer implemented method includes identifying a plurality of metadata inodes, grouping the plurality of metadata inodes into one or more metadata pages, mapping the plurality of metadata inodes and the plurality of metadata pages, and storing the mapping as a manifest page, and storing data to and retrieving data from the distributed remote storage devices using the plurality of metadata inodes.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are disclosed for systems and methods for voice-forward graphical user interface mode management. Example methods include determining that a device is coupled to an accessory device, determining that being coupled to the accessory device causes the device to deactivate a first operating mode and activate a second operating mode, where the second operating mode has a lower content density than the first operating mode, and determining that an application setting of an application executing on the device is causing the device to remain in the first operating mode. Example methods may include determining that a new value is associated with the application setting, and causing the device to activate the second operating mode.

Abstract: A processing device sends a first list of content comprising an unsolicited electronic content item to be stored on a first device associated with a user profile. The processing device receives information describing a first state of storage space on the first device. The processing device determines at least one of an amount of total free space or an amount of available free space on a second device associated with the user profile. The processing device then determines a second list of content using the first state of the storage space on the first device and at least one of the amount of total free space or the amount of available free space on the second device and sends the second list to the second device.

Abstract: A processing device receives a first notice after a first time period, the first notice indicating that an amount of available free space on a storage component is below a first free space buffer threshold. The processing device determines a first amount of data to delete from an unsolicited content storage area of the storage component. The processing device receives a second notice after a second time period, the second notice indicating that the amount of available free space on the storage component is below the first free space buffer threshold. The processing device then determines a second amount of data to delete from the unsolicited content storage area, where the second amount is larger than the first amount.
