Abstract: Systems, methods, and software can be used to share content. In some aspect, a first user input for copying a content is received at a first application on a mobile device. A token that is associated with the content is generated. A Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) is sent from the first application to a clipboard application. A second user input for pasting the content is received at a second application on the mobile device. The token is received at the second application from the clipboard application. A request for the content is received from the second application. The request includes the token. Whether the second application is authorized to receive the content is determined at the first application. In response to determining that the second application is authorized to receive the content, the content is provided to the second application.

Abstract: Methods and devices are provided relating to taking an action in response to determining that a person who is present in the vicinity of the device, such as a smart speaker, is not authorized to be present. In an aspect, the electronic device receives the notification and a topic identifier associated with the notification. Information identifying persons located in the vicinity of the electronic device may be received. The device may then receive and/or determine information identifying at least one person located within the vicinity who is not authorized, based on the topic identifier, to be present in the vicinity when the notification is to be outputted. The device generates an output signal indicating receipt of the notification and that there is at least one person present in the vicinity who is not authorized to be present when the notification is to be outputted.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes methods and systems, including computer-implemented methods, computer program products, and computer systems, for distributing recovery keys. One method includes: transmitting, from a first user device to a secure community server, a key distribution request, wherein the key distribution request identifies a second user device, and the first user device and the second user device are members of a same secure community managed by the secure community server; transmitting a first portion of a recovery key to secure community server for forwarding to the second user device; transmitting a second portion of the recovery key to the secure community server; and discarding the first portion and the second portion of the recovery key at the first user device.

Abstract: Devices and methods of access control are provided. A device includes a processor, an input interface coupled to the processor, and a memory coupled to the processor. The device may be configured to receive a first input via a first input interface and determine whether the first input includes valid first authentication data, invalid authentication data, or duress authentication data. Based on the determination, if the first input includes valid authentication data, allow access. If the first input includes invalid authentication data, disallow access. If the first input includes duress authentication data, allow access when a second input received via a second input interface includes valid second authentication data. Example inputs include iris scan input, retinal scan input, fingerprint scan input, handprint input, palm print input, facial recognition input, alphanumeric input, touchscreen gesture input, breathalyzer sample input, facial or hand gesture input, or voice input, among others.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to management of privileges associated with applications accessible by users of electronic devices. In one aspect, an electronic device detects that a privilege has been revoked, shuts down any application running on the electronic device that has previously accessed the privilege, and restarts any application that was shut down, the restarted application no longer having any access to the revoked privilege. In another aspect, an electronic device keeps a log of which applications have previously accessed which privileges, receives a new set of privileges associated with applications, determines that a privilege has been revoked, and if the log indicates that an application previously accessed the privilege, resets the electronic device. In a further aspect, a method sets privileges associated with applications, records which electronic devices have which applications, revokes a privilege, and instructs those electronic devices having applications to which the privilege is associated to reset themselves.

Abstract: A device case has a body forming a compartment holding an electronic device with a back facing camera lens and a front side with a user interface display and front facing camera lens. The device case has a movable lens cover attached to the body and held by the body when moved to any of an open position, a first position, and a second position. The movable lens cover, in the open position, leaves the front facing camera lens, the user interface display, and the back facing camera lens exposed. The movable lens cover, in the first position, covers the back facing camera lens while leaving the user interface display and the front facing camera lens exposed, and when in the second position, covers both the front facing camera lens and the back facing camera lens while leaving the user interface display exposed.
