Abstract: A system and method for an intelligent hair drying/styling apparatus with user information transmission and storage capabilities is herein provided. The hair drying/styling apparatus houses a control circuit board and an infrared or temperature sensor (or camera) in order detect an individual's hair condition moisture level to determine a user specific, customizable dryer setting. The information detected by the sensor is stored locally, on a proximal Internet-enabled device, or on a remote or cloud-based server and accessed by the hair drying/styling apparatus through a wireless local area network connectivity function. This innovation will enable any number of hair professionals and or end consumers to improve styling and dry time. According to the present invention, energy usage is reduced to enable a more efficient design.

Abstract: In some implementations, a computing device can receive a display list that describes software applications to install and/or represent on a user interface of the computing device. The display list can specify software applications that the computing device should automatically download and install. The display list can specify an order for presenting or arranging representations of the software applications on the user interface of the computing device. The computing device can determine which system applications to hide based on the absence of a system application in the display list. In some implementations, a computing device can receive a hide list that describes software applications to hide from view on the user interface of the computing device. The hide list can specify software applications that are installed on the computing device but that should not be presented or represented on the user interface of the computing device.
