Systems and techniques are provided for trust agents. Trust agents may be enabled. A state determination may be received from each of the enabled trust agents. The state determination may indicate either a trusted state or an untrusted state. The received state determinations may be combined to determine a security state. A security measure may be enabled or disabled based on the determined security state.

Trust agents

A computing device is described that receives a notification generated by a notification source, determines a set of notification channels defined by the notification source, each notification channel having one or more parameters defined by the notification source, and determines a particular notification channel from the set of notification channels assigned to the notification. The computing device determines one or more parameters of the particular notification channel and outputs an indication of the notification according to the one or more parameters of the particular notification channel. In this way, a user may be provided with an indication of the manner in which a given notification is being handled by the computing device. This may provide further information on the notification itself and allow efficient interaction in light of the knowledge thereby provided.

Notification channels for notifications of a computing device

In one example, a device includes one or more processors, a presence-sensitive display, and a storage device that stores one or more modules. The modules are executable to, responsive to receiving an indication of a first user input: output, for display, a graphical element including at least one task shortcut from a plurality of task shortcuts for an application, receive an indication of a second user input that selects a particular task shortcut included in the graphical element, and, responsive to receiving the indication of the second user input, output, for display, a shortcut icon for the particular task shortcut within the graphical user interface.

Contextual task shortcuts

In some implementations, a computer-implemented method of displaying alert information with a mobile communication device includes displaying device status indicators to a user of a mobile device in a status area; receiving information from an application to display an alert in the status area; displaying in the status area a first level of information for the alert and a user-selectable control; and displaying, in response to a selection of the user-selectable control, a second level of information for the alert that provides greater detail than the first level of information.

Providing interactive alert information

Techniques include: providing media content to a computing device; waiting a period of time; determining that the media content has not been used; sending a snippet to the computing device, where the snippet corresponds to a portion of the media content that is executable on the computing device; and repeating waiting, determining and sending until the media content has been used or a limiting factor has been met.

Sending snippets of media content to a computing device

Display screen with graphical user interface

A computer-implemented user interface method includes displaying on a touch screen a portion of a large scale graphical space that is at least multiples larger than the device display, receiving from a user of the device an input to pan within the graphical space, automatically generating a pop up graphical panning control in response to receiving the user input, and receiving a user input to the panning control and providing panning in the graphical space, wherein movement of the panning control in a single selection is able to pan the display across a substantial portion of the large scale graphical space.

Zoom-region indicator for zooming in an electronic interface

A computing device outputs an arrangement of a set of windows organized into one or more visual stacks. Each respective visual stack from the one or more visual stacks comprises a respective subset of the set of windows sequenced based on a characteristic. The computing device determines that a first window from the set of windows has a particular relationship with a second window from the set of windows, wherein the particular relationship is not based on the characteristic. The computing device outputs, responsive to the determining, a visual indication of the first window that visually differentiates the first window from windows from the set of windows not having the particular relationship with the second window.

Indicating relationships between windows on a computing device

A computing device outputs, for display, a virtual keyboard comprising a plurality of virtual keys. Furthermore, the computing device receives an indication of a first movement of an input object along a spatial path. The computing device determines, based on locations of the virtual keys and locations along the spatial path, a plurality of character strings. In response to determining that the first movement has ceased for at least a threshold amount of time, the computing device outputs, for display, the plurality of character strings. While the character strings are displayed, the computing device receives an indication of a second movement of the input object. The computing device selects, in response to the indication of the second movement, and based at least in part on a direction of the second movement of the input object, a particular character string from the plurality of character strings.

Dynamically-positioned character string suggestions for gesture typing

The subject matter of this specification can be embodied in, among other things, a method that includes receiving an image having indication pixels that define a plurality of regions within the image that are used for resizing the image and determining, based on the indication pixels, two or more of the regions that are stretchable regions that change size when the image is resized. The method also includes resizing the image by changing a size of at least one of the determined stretchable regions.
