Abstract: Implementations set forth herein relate to interactions, between vehicle computing devices and mobile computing devices, that reduce duplicative processes from occurring at either device. Reduction of such processes can be performed, in some instances, via communications between a vehicle computing device and a mobile computing device in order to determine, for example, how to uniquely render content at an interface of each respective computing device while the user is driving the vehicle. These communications can occur before a user has entered a vehicle, while the user is in the vehicle, and/or after a user has left the vehicle. For instance, just before a user enters a vehicle, a vehicle computing device can be primed for certain automated assistant interactions between the user and their mobile computing device. Alternatively, or additionally, the user can authorize the vehicle computing device to perform certain processes immediately after leaving the vehicle.

Abstract: A movement compensation system is described herein that compensates a user interface and received touch input based on detected external motion affecting a mobile computing device. The system uses the integration of accelerometer data to either offset screen rendering or adjust screen size to improve readability. The system may also improve touch target selection by offsetting received touch coordinates to compensate for device shifting. Offsets can be applied to either the screen rendering offset or can be applied to the touch coordinate input. The system may increase font size or the size of other user interface elements in response to detecting external motion. The system may also receive tuning parameters to account for device mass, dampening filters on accelerometer integrations, latency effects, and user responsiveness to motion effects. Thus, the system allows users to continue to use devices under high motion environmental conditions.
