Abstract: Aspects of this disclosure are directed to outputting, for display at a presence-sensitive display, a first set of two or more selectable objects in a first arrangement of locations, the computing device operating in a first instance of a limited access state. At least one of the selectable objects includes an element of a predetermined passcode. The computing device may receive an indication of a first gesture to select one of the selectable objects and an indication of a second gesture to designate the selected object as an element of a candidate passcode. The computing device may transition to an access state based at least in part on a comparison between the candidate passcode and the predetermined passcode. The computing device may transition to a second instance of the limited access state, and may output a second set of two or more selectable objects in a second, different arrangement.

Abstract: Content is pre-downloaded to a client device used by user. The pre-downloaded content is received and stored at the client device and has an access restriction to prevent the user from consuming the pre-downloaded content. The client device interacts with the user to facilitate purchase transactions for the pre-downloaded content. After the pre-downloaded content is purchased, the client device removes the access restriction to allow the user to consume the pre-downloaded content on the client device. Pre-downloading digital content allows the user, for example, to access the pre-downloaded content without needing to download the content at the time of purchase.

Abstract: In one example, a method includes intercepting, by a first security module, a request from a software application executing on the computing device to access a resource of the computing device. The first security module may include a first group of permissions received from a second security module included in an operating system. The second security module may control access by software applications executing on the computing devices to resources of the computing device based upon permissions granted to the software applications. The method may also include identifying a second group of permissions granted to the software application. The second group of permissions may be a subset of the first group of permissions. The method may also include determining, based upon the first group of permissions, whether the software application is allowed to access the resource. The method may also include controlling access to the resource, based on the determining.
