Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to generating real-time suggested actions for a user based on their user profile attributes. In various embodiments, a server system may select, in real-time, a particular action to suggest to a user based on profile attributes associated with a user account of the user. The server system may then provide a message indicative of this particular action to a user device associated with the user. In some embodiments, the server system may then receive an indication that the user has initiated the particular action. In response to this indication, the server system may update the profile attributes associated with the user account to indicate that the user has initiated the particular action. Using these updated profile attributes, the server system may then select, in real-time, an updated action to suggest to the user that is different from the particular action.

Abstract: An under-display camera is positioned underneath a display of a mobile device. The under-display camera captures an image using light passing through a portion of the display. The mobile device displays a display image on the display, the display image based on the image. The mobile device displays an indicator overlaid over the display image on an indicator area of the display that overlaps with the portion of the display. The indicator may identify the position of the camera. The mobile device can compensate for occlusion of the camera by continuing to display a previous display image if a more recently captured image includes an occlusion. The mobile device can give users alternate ways to select areas of the display image to avoid camera occlusion, for instance using hardware buttons and/or touchscreen interface elements.
