In aspects of payment recovery boot mode for mobile devices, a mobile device transmits a payment status request to a network device. The network device receives an identifier of the mobile device and, based on the identifier, determines a payment status of the mobile device indicates a payment for the mobile device is pending. The mobile device receives, from the network device, a payment status response indicating a payment for the mobile device is pending. The mobile device initiates a payment recovery boot mode of the mobile device based on the payment status response.

Payment recovery boot mode for mobile devices

An electronic device includes a user interface, a memory, and one or more processors operable with the user interface and the memory. In response to the one or more processors detecting commencement of an interactive shopping session in an electronic shopping application operating on the one or more processors, the one or more processors retrieve an average electronic shopping completion time associated with a detected search string category and present a prompt identifying the average electronic shopping completion time associated with the detected search string category on the user interface.

A computing system, a method and a computer program product for presenting a determined optimal duration of video recap of media content. The method includes detecting, via a processor of a computing system, selection of a current episode of media content for playback. In response to detecting selection of the current episode of the media content for playback, the method includes determining a first time difference between a current time and a previous viewing time of prior episodes. The method includes determining, based on the first time difference, a first time duration for a first video recap of the prior episodes of the media content. The method includes streaming the first time duration of the first video recap of the media content for presentation on an electronic device as a preview presented prior to streaming the current episode of the media content for presentation on the electronic device.

In aspects of methods and systems for surfacing unconsumed communications, an example device includes at least one memory and at least one processor. The at least one processor is configured to cause the device to detect that an ongoing communication pertaining to a first topic includes one or more first communications in a first communication channel being accessed by a user of the device, detect one or more second communications in a second communication channel associated with the user based on the one or more second communications including an unconsumed communication, determine whether the first topic and a second topic of the one or more second communications are similar, generate, based on the first topic and the second topic being similar, a reference link to the one or more second communications of the second communication channel, and display the reference link in the first communication channel.

An electronic device, a method and a computer program product for surfacing notifications based on optimal network and device conditions at a consumer device. The method includes receiving from a network connected device, a notification associated with local consumption of content available for presentation by a communication device, the notification including metadata associated with the content, the metadata encoding content consumption criteria related to preferences for when and how to present the content, in part based on network conditions at the communication device. The method includes detecting one or more current network conditions and comparing the current network conditions with network constraints within the content consumption criteria encoded in the metadata. The method includes selectively presenting the content for consumption at one or more of a time or in a format determined, at least in part, by the detected one or more network conditions.

A method provides techniques for emoji management for electronic messaging. The message includes detecting, by a processor of an electronic device, selection of an emoji for sending within a message. A recipient is identified for the message. The method further includes determining one or more attributes that can be associated with the emoji, and retrieving at least one of a recipient emoji reception preference and a sender emoji transmission preference for the one or more attributes. The emoji is modified based on the one or more attributes corresponding to the at least one of the recipient emoji reception preference and the sender emoji transmission preference. The method continues with transmitting the message with the modified emoji to the recipient.

An electronic device, a method, and a computer program product generate push notifications directing optimal time for surfacing notifications at a consumer device. The method includes selecting content for consumption at a second device communicatively coupled to a computing device, and encoding into metadata associated with the content, content consumption criteria related to at least one of a network quality and a second device capability for presenting the content at the second device. The method includes transmitting a notification to the second device, the notification including the metadata associated with the content, the metadata configuring the second device to determine at least one of a timing for presenting the content for consumption at the second device and presentation parameters related to the content based on the content consumption criteria.

A method and apparatus for streaming content is disclosed. A streamer () detects a cue for a break in a segment of the program content, wherein the cue includes an identification of an advertising provider associated with the break. The streamer sends, to an advertisement server (), a request for content associated with the advertising provider, and receives, from the advertisement server, an advertisement associated with the advertising provider. Further, the streamer transcodes the advertisement based on configuration information of an additional device () to generate formatted content viewable on the additional device. Moreover, the streamer streams the formatted content to the additional device via the local connection.

Systems and methods for in-home and on-the-go targeted content delivery

An electronic device includes a wireless communication circuit and one or more processors. The one or more processors are operable to the one or more processors to detect an inability of the wireless communication circuit to transmit an electronic communication that includes one or more temporally dependent content elements. When this occurs, the one or more processors monitor a duration during which the wireless communication circuit is unable to transmit the electronic communication. Later the one or more processors alter the one or more temporally dependent content elements as a function of the duration to obtain a modified electronic communication, which is transmitted from the wireless communication circuit.

Devices and methods for modifying temporally dependent content elements of electronic communications

A communication device includes a communication circuit, an imager, and one or more processors. One or more memory devices store one or more reference images. The one or more processors can receive an image being previewed by the imager and determine whether the image being previewed by the imager corresponds to a stored image of the one or more reference images. Where the image being previewed by the imager corresponds to the stored image, the one or more processors can determine a communication identifier associated with the stored image and initiate communication with a remote device using the communication identifier. Where the object is a plurality of objects, the one or more processors can initiate a group communication with remote devices corresponding to all or a subset of the plurality of objects.

System and method for initiating communication from actual, notional, or dissociated previewed images

A method of operating a device for a user is provided. The method includes operating the device in a first mode; receiving an indication of a first person in the presence of the user; retrieving a first profile associated with the first person; and operating the device in a second mode based, at least in part, on the first profile.
