Abstract:
Certain implementations of the disclosed technology may include systems and methods for providing notifications relating to context-based features of a mobile device. According to an example implementation, a method is provided for receiving an indication of contextual information and an indication of historical information. The method also includes determining an environmental context of the mobile device from the contextual information and the historical information. The method also includes determining whether a usage criteria associated with a context-based feature associated with the environmental context has been met. The method also includes outputting an indication of the determination that the context-based feature has not met the usage criteria, such that the mobile device outputs a notification related to the context-based feature.
Abstract:
Example methods and systems for determining media files based on activity levels are described. An example method includes receiving information indicative of a first speed of the computing device, and receiving information indicative of a geography of a location of the computing device. The method further includes determining, from a plurality of media files tagged with respective tempo identifiers, a first media file based on the geography of the location of the computing device and also having a tempo that substantially matches to the first speed of the computing device. The method includes providing an indication of the first media file to a media player, and based on a change in the first speed of the computing device to a second speed, determining from the plurality of media files tagged with respective tempo identifiers, a second media file having a tempo that substantially matches to the second speed.
Abstract:
A communication device may be configured to control access to geolocation services for applications on the communication device utilizing a first privacy access level setting that enables access to the geolocation services when selected, a second privacy access level setting that disables access to the geolocation services when selected, and other privacy access level settings that are different from, and fall between, the first privacy access level setting and the second privacy access level setting, and enable one time access to the geolocation services for the communication device when selected. The applications can include applications on the communication device that are managed and/or handled by a particular application service provider. The privacy access level settings comprise an anonymous one-time access and a non-anonymous one-time access.
Abstract:
Mobile devices and associated systems and methods are described. According to one example, a mobile device may include a unique scan only mode in which a wireless communication component of the mobile device is prevented from connecting to wireless networks for data communication, but may still be used to scan for available wireless access points for location determination purposes. According to another example, a mobile device may select which of a plurality of location-determination components that the mobile device should use to determine a location of the mobile device based on whether the mobile device is configured in a unique scan only mode.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for controlling access to a particular functionality of a wireless communication device are described. For example, a device can include a memory and a processor that is operatively coupled to the memory. The processor can be configured to display a list of entities that have applications installed on the device that can access a particular functionality of the device; display, for each entity, a complete list of applications associated with the corresponding entity and installed on the device, wherein each of the listed applications can access the particular functionality of the device; and provide a respective graphical switch for each entity and by which access is denied to the particular functionality of the device to all of the listed applications associated with the corresponding entity.
