Abstract: A second user can authorize a first user to take or complete an online action by submitting one or more biometric images. For example, the second user can authorize a purchase by the first user on an online store. The second user can submit the one or more biometric images on the electronic device being used by the first user, or the second user can submit the biometric image or images remotely using another electronic device.

Abstract: A method performed in a portable computing device for intelligently performing audio playback, upon connecting with an audio output system. The portable computing device detects that a connection is made with an audio output system. The portable computing device determines a first audio playback application that last played audio and when the first audio playback application last played audio. If the first audio playback application played audio within a specified amount of time in the past, then the portable computing device signals that audio playback be performed from the first audio playback application (through the connection made with the audio output system.) If the first audio playback application did not play audio within the specified amount of time in the past, then the portable computing device determines a second audio playback application that last played audio when the portable computing device was previously connected to the audio output system and signals audio playback from the second audio playback application (through the connection made with the audio output system.) Other embodiments are also described and claimed. DETECT THAT A CONNECTION IS MADE WITH AN AUDIO OUTPUT SYSTEM DETERMINE WHICH AUDIO PLAYBACK APPLICATION LAST PLAYED AUDIO IN THE PORTABLE COMPUTING DEVICE AUDIO PLAYBACK APPLICATION THAT LAST PLAYED AUDIO PLAY AUDIO YES IN THE PORTABLE COMPUTING NO DEVICE DO SO WITHIN A SPECIFIED AMOUNT OF TIME IN THE PAST (e.g., WITHIN THE LAST 8 MINUTES) BEGIN PLAYBACK FROM THE BEGIN PLAYBACK FROM THE AUDIO PLAYBACK APPLICATION AUDIO PLAYBACK APPLICATION THAT LAST PLAYED AUDIO IN THE THAT LAST PLAYED AUDIO PORTABLE COMPUTING DEVICE WHEN THE PORTABLE COMPUTING DEVICE WAS PREVIOUSLY 160 CONNECTED TO THE AUDIO OUTPUT SYSTEM PROVIDE A USER INTERFACE 110 THROUGH WHICH THE USER CAN INDICATE THAT THE PLAYBACK BE PROVIDE A USER INTERFACE CHANGED, SO THAT PLAYBACK IS THROUGH WHICH THE USER CAN FROM THE AUDIO PLAYBACK INDICATE THAT THE AUDIO APPLICATION THAT WAS PLAYING PLAYBACK BE CHANGED, SO THAT AUDIO WHEN THE PORTABLE PLAYBACK IS FROM THE AUDIO COMPUTING DEVICE WAS PLAYBACK APPLICATION THAT PREVIOUSLY CONNECTED TO THE LAST PLAYED AUDIO IN THE AUDIO OUTPUT SYSTEM PORTABLE COMPUTING DEVICE

Abstract: The present technology resolves playlist version conflicts resulting from modifications made to a playlist version, stored on a client device and in a cloud locker, when the client device and the cloud locker are in a disconnected state. The present technology is a heuristic for determining how to resolve such version conflicts. Upon reconnection of the client and cloud locker, the server, associated with cloud locker attempts to reconcile any version discrepancies resulting from user-initiated changes. In one embodiment, when the server determines that one of the playlists on the client or server is a superset of the other, the superset is selected and saved to both the client and cloud locker, while the subset version is deleted.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus that receive, at a wireless device, power through wire or inductive pad are described. The received power is monitored to back up data from the device to a server in a network through an OTA (over the air) wireless interface. The data is transmitted to the server to back up the data on the device. While backing up the data whether the power has been removed from the device is determined. The backing up of the data in the device can be terminated automatically and without user request, in response to the determination that the power has been removed.

Abstract: Se dan a conocer técnicas y sistemas mejorados para el suministro y adquisición de recursos digitales. Las técnicas y sistemas son especialmente adecuados y útiles para suministrar recursos digitales (por ejemplo, recursos multimedia) que se encuentran disponibles para la adquisición y suministro electrónico de los establecimientos en línea a los dispositivos electrónicos. De acuerdo con un aspecto, cuando un recurso digital se adquiere de un establecimiento en línea mediante un dispositivo electrónico asociado con un usuario, el recurso digital puede disponerse para el suministro a una serie de otros dispositivos electrónicos también asociados con el usuario. Se apreciará que el recurso digital puede suministrarse y adquirirse sin requerir una señal de entrada del usuario o instrucción explícita de acuerdo con otro aspecto. Otros aspectos de las técnicas y sistemas incluyen la personalización de la configuración e interfaces de usuario que se proporcionan para facilitar la adquisición de recursos digitales en una forma más eficiente.

Abstract: In a first embodiment a client devices assesses network performance (bandwidth) and determines from this a suitable quality level of an asset (eg. video/audio file) for downloading (Fig. 5b). In a second embodiment, in response to a play command a client device assesses if it stores locally a digital asset of a desired (high) quality. If not it assesses whether it is available from a cache or a cloud server and whether the network performance is adequate for downloading the asset. If so the asset is retrieved from the cache cloud. If a high quality asset is unobtainable, a lower quality asset may be played back. A similar local/cache/cloud assessment procedure applies. In a third embodiment the client may assess locally stored low quality assets and network performance in response to an upgrade event. If network performance is suitable the locally stored assets may be upgraded by downloading higher quality versions. This may happen as a background operation (Fig. 7).

Abstract: A system for delivery and acquisition of digital assets (e.g., media, music, video, e-books etc) from online stores to electronic devices; when a digital asset is acquired form an online store via an electronic device associated with a user, the digital asset can be arranged for delivery to a number of other of electronic devices also associated with the user. It will be appreciated that the digital asset can be delivered and acquired without requiring explicit user input or instruction in accordance with another aspect. Other aspects of the techniques and systems include customization of configuration and user interfaces that are provided to facilitate acquisition of digital assets in a more efficient manner.
