  • Patent number: 11258746
    Abstract: Techniques for managing notifications to be presented by user devices are described. In an example, a computer system associates a first user account with a user device and stores first data indicating that a notification about a communications session via a communications network system is prohibited. The computer system receives a request associated with the first user account for communications with another device via the communications network system. Based at least in part on the other device, the computer system generates second data indicating that the notification about the communications session is to be presented within a period of time of the communications session being requested. The computer system associates the first user account with the second data.

  • Patent number: 11228624
    Abstract: A system may overlay real-time data and other data (e.g., measurement data, sensor data, etc.) over image data during a communication session. For example, the system may perform media processing on image data being sent between devices in order to overlay the real-time data and other information received from input devices (e.g., sensors, diagnostic devices, connected health devices, etc.) on top of image data during the communication session. For example, a patient may video conference with a doctor and real-time diagnostic information from a device attached to the patient (e.g., wearable device or other input device) may be overlaid on the video to display relevant information during the video conference.

  • Patent number: 9883358
    Abstract: A method of responding to a text-based communication on a portable electronic device includes receiving the text-based communication at the portable electronic device, performing textual analysis on the text-based communication to determine a set of possible responses, for each possible response of the set of possible responses, ranking the possible responses based at least on auxiliary information at the portable electronic device, and selecting a first possible response as a suggested response based on the ranking of the possible responses.
