Techniques are disclosed for using contextual information to determine an appropriate response in a system that includes a device paired with an accessory device. The contextual information can be sourced from local sensors, received communications, and information stored on a device within the system. Stored parameters in the system allow flexibility and configurability in evaluating the contextual information. Using feedback obtained after actions taken based on the contextual information allows the system to adapt to better meet the needs of the user.

Contextual information usage in systems that include accessory devices

A method, apparatus, and system relating to a notification system for merging a new message into a pending notification.

Living notifications

Techniques are disclosed, for intelligent management of multiple communications links. One communications link can be used to bring up another communications link with little or no user input. Selective enablement/disablement of one or more of the communications links is based on system needs and, other criteria. Utilizing one more-secure communications link to improve security on another less-secure communications link between the same devices is also contemplated.

Intelligent management of a plurality of communications links

Techniques are disclosed for intelligent management of multiple communications links. One communications link can be used to bring up another communications link with little or no user input. Selective enablement/disablement of one or more of the communications links is based on system needs and other criteria. Utilizing one more-secure communications link to improve security on another less-secure communications link between the same devices is also contemplated.

In one embodiment, a method includes accessing at least two determinations of the location of a mobile computing device, with each determined location having been determined without reference to explicit location information manually input by a user of the mobile computing device. At least one first determined location is compared with at least one second determined location, with comparisons being made between location determinations made based on different location determination input. A functionality associated with the mobile computing device is allowed if the first determined location corresponds to at least one of the second determined locations.

Multi-factor location verification

In one embodiment, a method includes receiving a request to display a media plug-in on a third-party website hosted by a third-party system, determining media content associated with the request to display the media plug-in, and determining whether the third-party website is being viewed by a user that is currently logged in to the social-networking system. The method further includes determining one or more user-selectable objects based at least on the determined media content and the determination of whether the user is currently logged in to the social-networking system and providing the determined one or more user-selectable objects for display in the media plug-in on the third-party website. The third-party system is separate from the social-networking system. The user-selectable objects, once selected, cause an action related to the determined media content.

Media plug-in for third-party system

In particular embodiments, one or more computer systems of a social-networking system receive a first video stream from a content source, receive social content from a social graph of the social-networking system, and generate an overlay area comprising at least a portion of the social content. The social graph includes a plurality of nodes and edges connecting the nodes, the nodes comprising user nodes that are each associated with a particular user of the social-networking system. The one or more computer systems of the social-networking system determine a placement for the overlay area within the first video stream, generate a modified video stream using at least the first video stream and the overlay area, and provide the modified video stream for display on a display device. The overlay area is placed within the modified video stream according to the determined placement.

Sharing television and video programming through social networking

In particular embodiments, a social networking system queries a social graph of the social-networking system for social content associated with video content provided to one or more users of the social-networking system and accesses privacy settings associated with each of the one or more users. The privacy settings indicate whether a particular user has authorized the social-networking system to share social content associated with the particular user with one or more third parties. The social networking system provides the social content associated with video content provided to the one or more users to a particular third party if the privacy settings of the one or more users indicate that the one or more users have authorized the social-networking system to share the social content with one or more third parties.

In particular embodiments a social networking system captures data associated with video content provided to a first user of a social-networking system, identifies, using the captured data, the video content provided to the first user, and updates a graph of the social-networking system to associate the first user with the identified video content. The graph of the social-networking system has a plurality of nodes and edges connecting the nodes. The nodes of the graph include user nodes that are each associated with a particular user of the social-networking system.

In particular embodiments, one or more computer systems of a social-networking system determine available media content from one or more content sources and query a social graph of a social-networking system for social content associated with a user of the social-networking system. The social graph includes nodes and edges connecting the nodes. The nodes include user nodes that are each associated with a particular user of the social-networking system. The one or more computer systems of the social-networking system determine, using the social content and the available media content, a plurality of social coefficients for the user, determine, based on the determined social coefficients, recommended media content for the user, and provide the recommended media content for display in a programming guide on a display device.

In one embodiment, a method includes receiving one or more audio/visual recordings from a user, the audio/visual recordings continuously capturing audio/visual information around the user, the audio/visual recordings being made by a client computing device of the user automatically and without manual user input and with one or more sensors of the client computing device; processing the audio/visual recordings to extract one or more audio/visual segments, each audio/visual segment covering a specific time period or relating to a specific event in the user's life; and posting the audio/visual segments to one or more points, respectively, along a timeline corresponding to the user's life.

Continuous capture with augmented reality

In one embodiment, a method includes receiving first information about a proximity of a first user, the first information comprising one or more images or one or more sounds of at least a portion of the proximity, the first information having been obtained from the proximity by a client computing device of the first user automatically and with one or more sensors of the client computing device; identifying a second user within the proximity of the first user based at least in part on the first information; retrieving second information about the second user from a graph of a social-networking system, the graph comprising a plurality of nodes and edges connecting the nodes, at least one node in the graph corresponding to the first user, at least one node in the graph corresponding to the second user; and sending the second information about the second user to the first user.

Social context in augmented reality

In particular embodiments, one or more computer systems of a social-networking system determine identities of one or more users in proximity to a display device and query a social graph of the social-networking system for social content associated with the determined identities. The social graph includes nodes and edges connecting the nodes. The nodes include user nodes that are each associated with a particular user of the social-networking system. The one or more computer systems of the social-networking system identify, using the social content, recommended media content for the one or more users in proximity to the display device and provide a playlist for display on the display device. The playlist includes the recommended media content for the one or more users in proximity to the display device.
