  • Patent number: 11989394
    Abstract: Devices, methods and graphical user interfaces for manipulating user interfaces based on fingerprint sensor inputs are provided. While a display of an electronic device with a fingerprint sensor displays a first user interface, the device may detect movement of a fingerprint on the fingerprint sensor. In accordance with a determination that the movement of the fingerprint is in a first direction, the device allows navigating through the first user interface, and in accordance with a determination that the movement of the fingerprint is in a second direction different from the first direction, the device allows displaying a second user interface different from the first user interface on the display.

  • Patent number: 8938542
    Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments relating to fulfillment of requests for computing capacity. Multiple requests for allocating computing resources for customers are obtained. Each request specifies an availability time at which the computing resource is to be made available to the customer, a device parameter to select a type of computing device to provide the computing resource, a location parameter to select a location where the computing resource is to be physically located, and/or other parameters. The computing resources are allocated to the customers according to one or more allocation rules, the availability times, device parameters, location parameters, and/or other parameters.

  • Patent number: 8756322
    Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments related to the fulfillment of requests for computing capacity. In one embodiment, a request queue includes requests from customers for computing resources to be allocated. Individual ones of the computing resources are allocated to individual ones of the customers based at least in part on requested availability times, device parameters, and at least one allocation rule. Another request for allocating a computing resource for a first customer is added to the request queue. At least one computing resource from a second customer is reallocated to the first customer in response to the other request.
