A computerized watch is described that includes a cover that forms an outer surface of the computerized watch, a screen configured to output graphical information for display, a set of physical watch hands positioned between the cover and the screen and configured to present a time of day. One or more computer processors and a memory comprising instructions. The instructions, when executed, cause the one or more computer processors to responsive to determining that the computerized watch is operating in a time display mode, manipulate the set of physical watch hands such that the set of physical watch hands present the time of day by obscuring a portion of a display region of the screen, and responsive to determining that the computerized watch is not operating in the time display mode, manipulate the set of physical watch hands such that the set of physical hands do not obscure the screen.

Physical watch hands for a computerized watch

A system and method for generating activity summaries for users. User activity information is received by a user activity information receiver module. Once enough data is received and processed, the data is analyzes and segmented to determine and create an activity summary or story. Content is selected. The selection of the content includes selection of content items, such as multimedia items, e.g. pictures and videos. Secondary information, such as user activity information or location information is analyzed. A story is generated based on the selected content, including the selected content. The story is represented by a display of the selected media and other information associated with the media.

Generating activity summaries

A computing device is described that receives, at a first particular time, first notification data. Responsive to receiving the first notification data, the computing device outputs, at a first intensity level, a first alert associated with the first notification data. The computing device receives, at a second particular time after the first particular time, second notification data. Responsive to the computing device receiving an indication of user interaction with the computing device between the first particular time and the second particular time, the computing device outputs, at the first intensity level, a second alert associated with the second notification data. Conversely, responsive to the computing device not receiving the indication of user interaction with the computing device, the computing device either outputs, at a second intensity level that is less than the first intensity level, the second alert, or refrains from outputting the second alert entirely.

Limiting alerts on a computing device

Display screen with an animated graphical user interface

A computing device is described that receives notification data, and selects, based on the notification data, a template graphical user interface (GUI) view from a plurality of template GUI views. The computing device automatically generates, from a portion of the notification data, an application GUI view that includes the portion of the notification data included within one or more fields of the template GUI view. The computing device outputs, for display, the application GUI view.

Automatic graphical user interface generation from notification data

In general, the subject matter described in this specification can be embodied in methods, systems, and program products for invoking a non-search action based on a search query. A server system receives a search query from a remote computing device. The server system determines whether the search query includes reserved text that indicates an intent by a user that provided the search query to the remote computing device to perform a non-search messaging action instead of or in addition to obtaining search results. The server system provides to the computing device, in response to determining that the search query includes the reserved text, code for causing the remote computing device to display a draft communication that includes at least the search query without the reserved text, and for allowing the user to edit the draft communication before transmitting the draft communication for receipt by recipient users.

Identifying non-search actions based on a search query

A system and method is disclosed for informing a user of recent activities in an online social network. A message group in an online activity stream of an online network is identified. The message group includes a first message describing a first activity of an online user of the online network, and multiple second messages responsive to the first message, the second messages being representative of multiple ancillary activities performed in the online network with respect to the first activity. A single notification is generated that includes a first description of the first activity, different than the first message, and a second description of the multiple ancillary activities different than each of the multiple second messages. The single notification is then presented in a notification list with other notifications.

Context and content in notifications

In one aspect, a method includes receiving an indication that a first user has interacted with a second user in a social network, calculating a social affinity score between the first user and the second user based on first user information, second user information, or relationship information between the first user and the second user and scheduling delivery of a notification to the recipient based on the social affinity score. Systems and machine-readable media are also provided.
