Abstract: Various embodiments set forth techniques for managing access to a resource at a device. In one aspect, a method includes receiving a request by an application to access a resource, determining that an application permission associated with the application and the resource grants the application access to the resource, where the application permission includes a signature of a permission review entity associated with the resource, and granting the request to access the resource based on the application permission. The permission review entity associated with the resource may be authorized through device permissions specified by an implementer or provider of the device.

Abstract: Embodiments are disclosed for an in-vehicle computing system for selectively adjusting audio settings for speakers in a vehicle. In some embodiments, an in-vehicle computing system for a vehicle includes a processor, an external device interface communicatively coupleable to a mobile device, and a storage device storing instructions executable by the processor to receive an indication of an incoming call directed toward the mobile device. The instructions are further executable to determine location information for the mobile device, correlate the mobile device with a selected speaker of the vehicle, the selected speaker being associated with the location information for the mobile device, and adjust, via the in-vehicle computing system, at least one audio setting for the selected speaker.

Abstract: Embodiments are disclosed for a method of alerting a user to the presence of a mobile device in a vehicle. In some example embodiments, a method includes identifying, via an in-vehicle computing system of a vehicle, presence of a mobile device. The method further includes providing an alert responsive to the user exiting the vehicle when the mobile device is still located in the vehicle.

Abstract: Various embodiments relate to scheduling one or more media system for use. The media systems may or may not be in a vehicle. Input may be received at a computing device for scheduling use of multiple media systems. A schedule of media system use may be generated based on the input at the computing device. Use instructions based on the media system use schedule may be transmitted so that use of the multiple media systems is enabled in accordance with the media system use schedule.

Abstract: Various embodiments relate to executing one or more functions on a vehicle computing system. Based on input received at a vehicle computing system associating one or more functions in a vehicle with at least one of a user's contacts or other vehicle functions, one or more vehicle functions may be associated with the contacts or the other vehicle functions. The vehicle functions which are associated with the contact(s) or with the other vehicle functions may be displayed and the one or more associated vehicle functions may be selected for execution. The associated vehicle function(s) may be executed in response to the selection.
