On a computing device, an overview mode is provided to present overview windows of all applications currently running on the computing device. When one or more applications are running in a windowed mode, a first overview window is generated for each of the one or more applications running in the windowed mode; when one or more applications are running in a full-screen mode, a second overview window is generated for each of the one or more applications running in the full-screen mode. The one or more first overview windows in the first space can be arranged in one or more rows in a first overview space, and the one or more second overview windows in the second space in a stack in a second overview space. The arranged overview windows may then be displayed in the overview mode of the computing device.

Multi-spatial overview mode

A user device incorporates a user interface platform that combines user notifications and various operational settings as part of a common display region. The notifications and settings are separated from one another, and the user interface dynamically adjusts the arrangement of these features to make it convenient for a user to quickly see the information and to manage it. The setting information may incorporate user logins, network and communication data, display and audio information, as well as other settings. And the application-related notifications may include information about active applications such as an email account, audio or video calls, texting apps, social media platforms, calendars, music players, video players, and the like. In response to a new notification, the system may consolidate the operational settings into core settings information. The system may also auto collapse (or expand) the notification list when a new notification is received.

Unified and smart notifications and quick settings system

Aspects of the subject technology relate to a method for using a voice command for multiple computing devices. First voice input data is received from a first computing device associated with a user account, where the first voice input data comprises a first voice command captured at the first computing device. Second voice input data is received from a second computing device associated with the user account where the second voice input data comprises a second voice command captured at the second computing device. An intended voice command is determined based on the obtained first and second voice input data. Based on the intended voice command, a first target computing device is determined. First instructions associated with the intended voice command are provided to the first target computing device for execution.

Voice commands across devices

A computing device may include one or more dynamically configurable user input devices. In one example, a triggering event, such as, for example, a user input at a user interface of the computing device, may be detected in connection with an application running on the computing device. In response to the detected triggering event, individual elements of the user interface, such as, for example, keys of a keyboard, may be configured, and/or re-configured, to correspond to the input received and/or the application running on the computing device.

Computing devices having dynamically configurable user input devices, and methods of operating the same

Aspects of the subject technology relate to systems and methods for processing voice input data. Voice input data is received from a computing. An intended task is determined based on the received voice input data. Contextual information related to the intended task is obtained. A plurality of services to be accessed at the computing device is determined based on the intended task and the obtained contextual information. Instructions associated with the plurality of services are provided for transmission to the computing device for execution at the computing device.

Automatic batch voice commands

Display screen or portion thereof with graphical user interface

The subject technology discloses configurations for determining a minimum dots per inch (DPI) setting for displaying graphical content in a window based on a native pixel density of a display. Respective graphical content is scaled for displaying in a first window based on the minimum DPI setting to fit a horizontal dimension of the first window. The subject technology then scales respective graphical content for displaying in a second window based on the minimum DPI setting to fit a horizontal dimension of the second window. In some configurations, the graphical content in the first window is scaled at a different DPI setting than the graphical content in the second window.

Intelligent window placement with multiple windows using high DPI screens

A system and method is disclosed for transferring notifications between multiple computing devices. A notification is provided for display at a first computing device associated with a user account. An indication is received of a user gesture for moving the notification to a second computing device associated with the user account, the second computing device being remote from the first computing device. In response to the indication, the notification is provided to the second computing device for display at the second computing device and removed from the first computing device so that the notification is no longer displayed at the first computing device.

Transferring notifications between devices

Display screen or portion thereof with transitional graphical user interface

Methods for providing information related to selected content and a suggested completion of one or more written words are provided. In one aspect, a method includes invoking an assistant tool, displaying an assistant window on a device display, receiving an indication of a selection of content on the display, generating a query for information associated with the selected content, receiving ranked results from the query, and displaying the received results in the assistant window. In one aspect, a snapshot of the selected content is captured and displayed with the results. In one aspect, a method includes receiving an indication of one or more words being written on the display and providing at least one suggested completion of a word or sentence being written. Systems and machine-readable media are also provided.

Stylus assist

A method includes establishing a power link between a power source and a computing device using a cable assembly, the cable assembly including at least one indicator, monitoring a status of the power link at the computing device, determining if the status of the power link includes establishing a communication link, and upon determining the status of the power link includes establishing the communication link determining a direction of data flow along the cable assembly associated with the communication link, and generating a signal using the at least one indicator, the signal indicating the direction of data flow along the cable assembly.
