Abstract: Approaches are described for determining, updating, and displaying recommended content on a lock screen of a computing device. For example, a lock screen can include recommended content that can display user-specific offers and/or other information determined to be relevant to the user. One of a full-screen template, a banner template, or a notification template can include the recommended content. The recommended content can include selectable elements that, when selected, can cause the computing device to perform an action such as launching an application, providing additional displays, etc. The recommended content can be updated. For example, in response to a lock screen event, such as powering on and off the display screen, recommended content can be updated and provided for display the next time the display screen is powered on.

Abstract: Dynamic icons are made easily available to third-party websites. In one embodiment, a dynamic icon is displayed on a client device, such as a phone, a laptop computer, a desktop computer, etc. The dynamic icon is associated with a third-party website and can have an address of the website associated therewith. The client device can receive information regarding how to update the dynamic icon and such information can be displayed in association with the dynamic icon. If selected, a browser is launched and the address is passed to the browser as an input parameter. The browser can use the address to access the third-party website and display a page of content associated with the website.

Abstract: An adapter battery unit for backup powering of a video camera device comprises a battery unit electrically and selectively connectable to an electronic device and is electrically and selectively connectable with a backup battery device. The adapter battery unit can be connected to the backup battery pack during operation of the electronic device without interruption in the power flow to the electronic device. In operation, the adapter battery unit supplies power to the camera device during normal operation of the camera. However, as the main battery in the adapter battery unit becomes discharged, a backup battery may be attached to the adapter battery without interrupting flow of power to the electronic device. In addition, when the adapter battery is connected to an external a/c power source, the adapter battery becomes charged and also acts as a charger to charge up the backup battery.
