Abstract: Techniques to allow advertising or other secondary content to be dismissed for later follow up are disclosed. In various embodiments, a user input associated with dismissing a displayed content for later follow up is received. Display of the content item discontinued and a follow up record is stored based at least in part on the indication. The follow up record is used to provide to a user with which the user input is associated a follow up content associated with the dismissed content.

Abstract: One or more patterns associated with a mobile device are determined. The one or more patterns are determined at least in part by identifying within a set of time information and location information associated with the mobile device a subset comprising successive locations and times associated with a temporary pattern, converting the temporary pattern to be a pattern of the one or more patterns, adding the pattern to a list of detected patterns, generating a reduced set of time information and location information at least in part by removing from the set of time information and location information the subset comprising the successive locations and times, analyzing the reduced set of time information and location information to determine one or more additional patterns. The mobile device can be configured to exhibit a mobile device behavior associated with the determined one or more patterns.

Abstract: A pattern associated with a mobile device is determined based at least in part on time information and location information associated with the mobile device. A mobile device behavior to be associated with the pattern is determined. The mobile device is configured to exhibit the mobile device behavior automatically during at least a portion of a subsequent repetition of the pattern.

Abstract: Idle detection techniques are disclosed. A set of idle conditions that includes one or more conditions not comprising or triggered by an absence of user input is monitored. The device is determined to be idle based at least in part on results of the monitoring. The device may be determined not to be idle even in the absence of recent user input.

Abstract: Device-specific secure software licensing techniques are disclosed. In various embodiments, a key/token pair associated with a client requesting license validation is received. It is determined whether the key/token pair matches an entry in a store of currently valid key/token pairs. An affirmative response is sent in the event the key/token pair matches a corresponding entry in the store of currently valid key/token pairs.

Abstract: Techniques to predict software usage duration are disclosed. Software usage duration data indicating for each of a plurality of systems a duration of usage of an application or other software on that system is received. The software usage duration data is used to determine a predicted software usage duration for the application or other software.
