In general, the subject matter described in this disclosure can be embodied in methods, devices, and program products for modifying interactions between a mobile device and a peripheral device based on proximity. The mobile device monitors a wireless communication channel and receives a transmission from the peripheral device over the channel indicating that the mobile device is located within a first zone of proximity to the peripheral device. The mobile device determines distance values between the devices. When the mobile device determines that a distance value satisfies a threshold value, the mobile device visually indicates that it is within a second zone of proximity to the peripheral device. As a result of the mobile device receiving data from the peripheral device using a second communication protocol, the mobile device determines that it is located within a third zone of proximity to the peripheral device, and performs an action.

Modifying the type of interaction between a mobile computing device and a peripheral device based on proximity

A method includes receiving, by a first computing device () and from a second computing device (), using a short-range wireless communication unit of the first computing device (), data including state information of the second computing device () and identification information for the second computing device (). The method also includes, responsive to a distance between the first computing device () and the second computing device () satisfying a threshold distance, determining a particular template graphical user interface from a plurality of template graphical user interfaces. The method also includes determining one or more operations the second computing device () is configured to perform. The method further includes outputting a graphical user interface () associated with the remote computing device (). The method includes receiving a user input selecting a particular graphical element () of the graphical user interface () and transmitting, to the second computing device (), an indication of an operation corresponding to the particular graphical element.

Controlling remote devices using user interface templates

Implementations of the present disclosure include actions of receiving image data of an image capturing a scene, receiving data describing one or more entities determined from the scene, the one or more entities being determined from the scene, determining one or more actions based on the one or more entities, each action being provided at least partly based on search results from searching the one or more entities, and providing instructions to display an action interface comprising one or more action elements, each action element being to induce execution of a respective action, the action interface being displayed in a viewfinder.

Smart camera user interface

An example method includes obtaining user consent to collect and make use of personal information for providing behavioral coaching; obtaining contextual and fitness related information of a user; determining, by inputting the contextual and fitness related information into a model that defines a motivational state, a current motivational state of the user; determining, based at least in part on the current motivational state of the user, a type of information to output as part of the behavioral coaching, wherein the type of information is selected from a group comprising education information, inspirational information, and achievement information; determining, based on the type of information to output, a channel for outputting the type of information as part of the behavioral coaching; and outputting, by the computing device, via the channel, a notification including content of the type of information.

Framework for a computing system that alters user behavior

The disclosed technology includes automatically suggesting audio, video, or other media accompaniments to media content based on identified objects in the media content. Media content may include images, audio, video, or a combination. In one implementation, one or more images representative of the media content may be extracted. A visual search may be run across the images to identify objects or characteristics present in or associated with the media content. Keywords may be generated based on the identified objects and characteristics. The keywords may be used to determine suitable audio tracks to accompany the media content, for example by performing a search based on the keywords. The determined tracks may be presented to a user, or automatically arranged to match the media content. In another implementation, an aural search may be run across samples of the audio data to similarly identify objects and characteristics of the media content.

Systems and methods for automatically suggesting media accompaniments based on identified media content

Implementations of the present disclosure include actions of receiving image data, the image data being provided from a camera and corresponding to a scene viewed by the camera, receiving one or more annotations, the one or more annotations being provided based on one or more entities determined from the scene, each annotation being associated with at least one entity, determining one or more actions based on the one or more annotations, and providing instructions to display an action interface including one or more action elements, each action element being selectable to induce execution of a respective action, the action interface being displayed in a viewfinder.

Certain embodiments of this disclosure include methods and devices for outputting a zoom sequence. According to one embodiment, a method is provided. The method may include: (i) determining first location information from first metadata associated with one or more images, wherein the first location information identifies a first location; and (ii) outputting, for display, a first zoom sequence based on the first location information, wherein the first zoom sequence may include a first plurality of mapped images of the first location from a first plurality of zoom levels and the plurality of mapped images are sequentially ordered by a magnitude of the zoom level.
