Abstract:
In some examples, a technique may include outputting information associated with a notification. The notification may be associated with a notification attribute. The technique may further include determining, by a computing device, that a user has perceived the information associated with the notification; and receiving, by the computing device, an indication of at least one physiological parameter representative of a reaction of the user to the information associated with the notification. In some examples, the technique also includes, responsive to receiving the indication of the at least one physiological parameter representative of the reaction of the user to the information associated with the notification, controlling, by the computing device, at least one notification configuration setting related to outputting information associated with other notifications associated with the notification attribute.
Abstract:
A computing device includes at least one processor and at least one module, operable by the at least one processor, to determine a context of the computing device, the context including an indication of at least one of an application executing at the computing device and a location of the computing device and determine, based at least in part on the context, one or more contextual audio triggers usable to initiate interaction with the computing device, each of the one or more contextual audio triggers being associated with a respective operation of the computing device. The at least one module is further operable to receive audio data, and responsive to determining that a portion of the audio data corresponds to a particular contextual audio trigger from the one or more contextual audio triggers, perform the respective operation associated with the particular contextual audio trigger.
Abstract:
In an example implementation of the disclosed technology, a method includes, responsive to receiving, at a computing device, an indication of an incoming request for live communication from a caller having corresponding identifying information, locating, by the computing device, at least one occurrence of the identifying information in history data. The history data is associated with past activity of a user of the computing device in relation to the caller. The method also includes outputting, by the computing device, for display, image content based on the history data. The image content includes an image of web-based content associated with the identifying information.
Abstract:
Methods, apparatus, and computer-readable media are described herein related to a user interface (UI) for a head-mountable device (HMD). A computing device, such as an HMD, can display at least a portion of a first linear arrangement of cards. The first linear arrangement can include an ordered plurality of cards that can include an actionable card and a bundle card that can correspond to a group of cards. A moveable selection region can be displayed. A given card can be selected by aligning the selection region with the given card. After selection of a bundle card, the computing device can display a second linear arrangement of cards that includes a portion of the corresponding group of cards. After selection of an actionable card, the computing device can display a third linear arrangement of cards that includes action card(s) selectable to perform action(s) based on the actionable card.
Abstract:
An example method includes, responsive to receiving an indication of an incoming communication, identifying, by a computing device, first and second portions of an image that are associated with respective first and second portions of a face of a human user, wherein the human user has been determined to be an originator of the incoming communication. The example method further includes outputting, by the computing device and for display, the first and second portions of the image that are associated with the respective first and second portions of the face of the human user, and outputting, by the computing device and for display, message content associated with the incoming communication, such that the message content as displayed at least partially overlays the second portion of the image.
Abstract:
A wearable computing device is described that predicts, based on movement detected, over time, by the wearable computing device, one or more future periods of time during which the wearable computing device will not be used. Responsive to determining that the wearable computing device is not being used at a current time, the wearable computing device determines whether the current time coincides with at least one period of time from the one or more future periods of time. Responsive to determining that the current time coincides with the at least one period of time, the wearable computing device performs an operation.
Abstract:
A computing device may output, for display at a display device, a graphical user interface. The computing device may receive a plurality of indications of user interaction with the computing device. The computing device may determine a set of one or more time intervals between receiving at least two of the plurality of indications of user interaction with the computing device. The computing device may determine, based at least in part on the determined set of one or more time intervals, a length of time to visually emphasize an alert in the graphical user interface. The computing device may visually emphasize, for the length of time, the alert in the graphical user interface.
Abstract:
A mobile computing device (20) comprising one or more haptic devices (30a-30e) and a haptic output module (26). Responsive to receiving an indication of an instruction for the mobile computing device (20) to perform a task, the haptic output module (26) is operable to cause at least one haptic device of the one or more haptic devices (30a-30e) to output, for a period of time based on a duration of the task, a haptic signal having a characteristic that indicates a progress of performance of the task by the mobile computing device (20). The one or more haptic devices (30a-30e) are included within a band (28) of a wearable computing device (20) and disposed at different locations of the band (28).
Abstract:
A method can include receiving, by a notification module operable by a computing device, an instruction to generate a contextual notification and notification information associated with the instruction. The method also cam include generating, by the notification module and in response to receiving the instruction, a notification object. In some examples, the method can include assigning, by the notification module and based on the notification information, the notification object to at least one notification class from a plurality of notification classes. The example method can also include generating, by the computing device and based at least in part on the at least one notification class to which the notification object is assigned, the contextual notification by populating the notification object with the notification information; and outputting the contextual notification in a manner based at least in part on the at least one notification class.
Abstract:
In an example implementation of the disclosed technology, a method may include outputting, for display, an object and receiving an indication of an input gesture entered at a presence-sensitive input device to select the object and activate an audio input device. The method may also include, responsive to receiving the indication of the input gesture, activating the audio input device. The method may also include receiving an indication of an audio command received by the audio input device, the audio command to perform an action on the object. The method may also include, responsive to receiving the indication of the audio command, performing the action on the object indicated by the audio command.
