An example method includes receiving, by a user device, authorization to engage in autofill for an application displayed on the user interface (UI) of the user device. The method further includes detecting an autofill trigger event and determining a subset of content excluding user-specific information. The method also includes transmitting a request containing the subset to a remote provider for candidate data for use in autofill. The method further includes receiving a response from the remote provider containing one or more candidate values for use in autofill. The method additionally includes filling the one or more text input fields displayed on the UI with the corresponding one or more candidate values.

Autofill for a user device

A computing device may receive from a first application executing on at least one processor an indication of an action to be performed. The computing device may determine, based on at least the indication of the action to be performed, a plurality of deep links to a plurality of actions performable by a plurality of applications. The computing device may select a subset of deep links from the plurality of deep links. The computing device may output for display a graphical user interface including an indication of each deep link from the subset of deep links. The computing device may receive an indication of a user input, the user input corresponding to a selection of one of the deep links from the subset of deep links. A second application executing on the at least one processor may perform an action linked to by the selected deep link.

Dynamic deep links to targets

Examples described may relate to methods and systems for controlling permission requests for applications running on a computing device to access resources provided by the computing device. A computing device may maintain in memory for a given application responses to permission requests. The computing device may receive responses to a first permission request that includes two selectable options to either allow or deny access to a particular resource. The computing device may determine whether a number of the responses to the first request that indicate to deny access exceeds a predefined threshold. If the number exceeds the threshold, the computing device may provide, at a run-time of the application subsequent to presentation of the first request, and based on the application attempting to access the resource, a modified permission request that includes, in addition to the two selectable options, a selectable option to prevent requesting permission to access the resource.

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for receiving data indicating a particular language a user has associated with their user profile; identifying a different language that (i) the user has not previously associated with their user profile, and that (ii) a language recommendation engine has associated with the particular language; providing a recommendation to the user to associate the different language with their user profile; receiving, in response to the recommendation, an indication of whether to associate the different language with the user profile; and updating the user profile based on the indication.

Providing language recommendations

Systems, device and techniques are disclosed for providing at least one dynamic current result to a second device, such as a mobile phone, where the at least one dynamic current result is related to content that is active on a first device such as a television. The dynamic current result may be generated based on a search query.

Dynamic current results for second device

A computing device executes one or more trusted execution environment (TEE) processes in a TEE of a processor. The one or more TEE processes cryptographically protect a secret and a policy. The policy specifies a plurality of conditions on usage of the secret. A particular non-TEE process generates a request whose fulfillment involves an action requiring use of the secret. Responsive to the request, one or more non-TEE processes determine whether a first subset of the plurality of conditions is satisfied. Responsive to the first subset of the plurality of conditions being satisfied, the one or more TEE processes determine that a second, different subset of the plurality of conditions is satisfied. Responsive to determining the second subset of the plurality of conditions is satisfied, the one or more TEE processes use the secret to perform the action.

Policies for secrets in trusted execution environments

A media store, as disclosed herein, may be composed of one or more canonical documents. Each of the canonical documents may refer to one or more of content items. Each content item may be a source file for a specific piece of content such as a movie or song. The system may represent variants of the content items as a single document, the canonical document. A user may view one or more of the content items referred to in the canonical document.

Media store with a canonical layer for content

Described is a system and method for programmatically determining credits for a video content item. By determining a point at which credits are displayed, a content provider may effectively provide supplementation information in a contextual and non-intrusive manner. In order to determine when credits are displayed, individual frames of content may be decoded and various characteristics of the individual frames may be analyzed.

Programmatically determining when credits appear during a video in order to provide supplemental information

In a computer-implemented method for communicating information about an update of an application, a digital distribution platform can receive, at a first time, the update of the application. The digital distribution platform can receive, at a second time, a signal from a user device. The signal can include a request to receive a transmission of a user interface customized for a user account. The digital distribution platform can automatically determine, in response to receipt of the request to receive the transmission of the user interface customized for the user account, that the application was downloaded, at a third time, to the user device. The digital distribution platform can automatically generate, in response to the second time being later than the first time, the user interface. The user interface can include the information about the update.

Communicating information about an update of an application

Methods and systems for updating components on a computing device are described herein. A computing device may perform an example method, which may include receiving, at the computing device, a notification of an update corresponding to an existing component on the computing device. Responsive to receiving the notification, the computing device may receive inputs from sensors of the computing device, which may provide information indicative of a given state of use, time of day, and location associated with the computing device. Based on a weighted combination of the inputs, the computing device may determine whether to update the existing component on the computing device and update the existing component. In some instances, the computing device may use information provided by another computing device to determine whether or not to initiate an update process.

Methods and systems for updating components on a computing device

Disclosed are methods, computing devices, and computer-readable mediums for transferring privacy settings. For example, a method includes determining location information indicative of a location of a computing device. Further, the method includes determining one or more applications installed on the computing device and on one or more other computing devices that are configured to access the location information. Yet further, the method includes transferring a privacy setting of the computing device to the one or more other computing devices. In addition, the method includes determining accesses of the one or more applications to the location information indicative of the location of the computing device.
