    Abstract: User switching for multi-user devices is provided. Each of multiple users of the multi-user device can have multiple external accounts that are each associated with one or more applications installed at the device. The user switching is provided such that each application installed at the device can be operated using user-specific data for the correct account of the correct user. The user switching is provided such that an app developer of an application for the multi-user device does not have to manage multiple data stores for multiple users.

    Abstract: A device in a payment transaction handoff system may include at least one processor configured to receive a request to perform a payment transaction and identify, using a first communication protocol, a respective device identifier of each of a plurality of proximate devices. The at least one processor is configured to select, based at least in part on a payment factor, a default payment device from the plurality of proximate devices. The at least one processor is configured to transmit, via a second communication protocol, a message to perform the payment transaction, the message comprising the device identifier of the default payment device. In one or more implementations, a first device of the plurality of proximate devices may be associated with a first user account and a second device of the plurality of proximate devices may be associated with a second user account, different from the first user account.

    Abstract: In some implementations, a computing device can receive a display list that describes software applications to install and/or represent on a user interface of the computing device. The display list can specify software applications that the computing device should automatically download and install. The display list can specify an order for presenting or arranging representations of the software applications on the user interface of the computing device. The computing device can determine which system applications to hide based on the absence of a system application in the display list. In some implementations, a computing device can receive a hide list that describes software applications to hide from view on the user interface of the computing device. The hide list can specify software applications that are installed on the computing device but that should not be presented or represented on the user interface of the computing device.

    Abstract translation: 在一些实现中,计算设备可以接收描述用于在计算设备的用户界面上安装和/或表示的软件应用的显示列表。 显示列表可以指定计算设备应自动下载和安装的软件应用程序。 显示列表可以指定用于在计算设备的用户界面上呈现或排列软件应用的表示的顺序。 计算设备可以基于显示列表中没有系统应用程序来确定要隐藏的系统应用程序。 在一些实现中,计算设备可以接收隐藏列表,该隐藏列表描述在计算设备的用户界面上隐藏视图的软件应用。 隐藏列表可以指定安装在计算设备上的软件应用,但不应该在计算设备的用户界面上呈现或表示。

    Abstract: A device implementing a system to associate a user account with a content output device includes at least one processor configured to receive an invitation to access content associated with a first user account on another device associated with a second user account, the other device being connected to a local area network. The at least one processor is further configured to send, to a server, a request for authorization to access the content associated with the first user account on the other device associated with the second user account, the request comprising information included with the invitation, and to receive, from the server, the authorization to access the content. The at least one processor is further configured to access, based at least in part on the authorization, the content associated with the first user account on the other device associated with the second user account.

    Abstract: A device implementing a system for associating a profile with an active user account includes a processor configured to receive, from an application running on a device, a request to identify an active user account on the device. The processor is further configured to generate, in response to the request, a unique identifier corresponding to the active user account on the device, the unique identifier being distinct from a user account identifier of the active user account. In addition, the processor is configured to provide the unique identifier to the application for differentiation, by the application, of the active user account on the device relative to at least one other account on the device.
