Abstract: Systems, methods and non-transitory computer readable media for allowing a user to switch between wearable items that have been paired or associated with an electronic device, such as a smartphone, are described. In one embodiment, the wearable items automatically detect a removal of a first wearable item from a user's body and an attachment of a second wearable item to the user's body. Messages from the wearable items are transmitted to the electronic device to allow the electronic device to switch the active wearable item from the first wearable item to the second wearable item. The switch can occur while the electronic device is in a locked state, and the electronic device can synchronize the second wearable item with data received from the first wearable item. Other embodiments are also described.

Abstract: Implementations of the subject technology provide for storing a temporary certificate on a mobile device for accessing services in association with a primary number. A device determines that a first subscriber identity module (SIM) card, previously used by the device, is not available for use by the device. The device determines that a second SIM card is available for use by the first device within a predetermined time period after the first SIM card is determined to be not available for use by the device. The device confirms that a communication identifier of the first SIM card is strongly tied to a user account associated with the device. The device stores a temporary certificate that attests to continued ownership of the communication identifier by the device and allows the device to access at least one service in association with the communication identifier.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to multiway communications. In some embodiments, a first electronic device initiates a multiway call between a plurality of electronic devices and exchanges a first secret with a first set of electronic devices participating during a first portion of the multiway call, the first secret being used to encrypt traffic between the first set of electronic devices. The first electronic device receives an indication that first set of participating electronic devices has changed and, in response to the indication, exchanges a second secret with a second set of electronic devices participating during a second portion of the multiway call, the second secret being used to encrypt traffic between the second set of participating electronic devices. In some embodiments, the indication identifies a second electronic device as leaving the multiway call, and the second secret is not exchanged with the second electronic device.

Abstract: A unified message delivery between multiple devices is disclosed. Sending messages through a local communications link, such as but not limited to at least one of a Bluetooth connection and a peer-to-peer WiFi connection, can lead to faster transmission times and reduced server load. When the local communications link is unavailable or not suitable, the messages can be sent through a network and a push server. In some examples, messages can be sent through both the local communications link and through the network and the push server. Duplicates of a received message can be avoided by utilizing indicators. In some examples, one or more devices can include queue(s) to ensure ordered delivery of a plurality of messages when a local communications link and network connection become unavailable.

Abstract translation: 披露了多个设备之间的统一消息传递。 通过本地通信链路（例如但不限于蓝牙连接和对等WiFi连接中的至少一个）发送消息可以导致更快的传输时间和减少的服务器负载。 当本地通信链路不可用或不合适时，可以通过网络和推送服务器发送消息。 在一些示例中，可以通过本地通信链路和通过网络和推送服务器发送消息。 通过利用指标可以避免收到的消息的重复。 在一些示例中，当本地通信链路和网络连接变得不可用时，一个或多个设备可以包括用于确保多个消息的有序传送的队列。

Abstract: Implementations of the subject technology provide systems and methods for providing nearby device invitations for electronic devices. Nearby device invitations from a first device can include encrypted invitations configured for trusted contacts, unencrypted invitations provided in response to a user request to invite all nearby devices, and/or a scannable code. The encrypted invitations and/or the unencrypted invitations can be broadcast using a short-range wireless communications protocol that limits the distance, from the broadcasting device, at which the invitations can be received. After providing the nearby device invitation in one or more of these ways, a resulting collaborative session between the first device and a second device can be managed via a server over a network.

Abstract: A device implementing a system for multipath connection management may include first and second local communication interfaces, and a processor configured to establish a primary connection for communicating between the first local communication interface and a first remote communication interface of an other device, and a secondary connection for communicating between the second local communication interface and a second remote communication interface. The processor may be configured to transmit application and control data over the primary connection and concurrently transmit a copy of control data over the secondary connection. The processor may be configured to determine that a degradation of the quality of the primary connection is attributable to the other device. The processor may be configured to switch the secondary connection to the first local communication interface and the second remote communication interface. The processor may be configured to transmit a copy of the application and control data over the secondary connection.

Abstract: A device implementing dynamic redundancy may include at least one processor configured to receive, from another device, packet reception data corresponding to video data previously provided for transmission from the device to the other device and determine, based at least in part on the packet reception data, an amount of redundancy to apply to video data provided for transmission to the other device. The at least one processor may be further configured to determine, based at least in part on the amount of redundancy, an encoding scheme for applying the redundancy to the video data. The at least one processor may be further configured to apply the amount of redundancy to the video data based at least in part on the encoding scheme to generate redundant data items and provide the video data and the redundant data items for transmission to the other device.

Abstract: Aspects of the subject technology provide for secure, privacy-preserving access to electronic conferencing. In one or more implementations, a server may receive a request to contact an account via a service, the request including a service-specific alias for the account. The service-specific alias may be configured for contact with one or more devices associated with the account via a set of services. The server may allow or deny contact with the one or more devices associated with the account via the service, based on whether the service is included in the set of services for the service-specific alias. In one or more implementations, the service is an electronic conferencing service.

Abstract: A device implementing cellular communication protocol aware multimedia streaming may include at least one processor configured to establish a link for communicating with another device, wherein the link utilizes at least one of a first cellular communication protocol or a second cellular communication protocol. The at least one processor may be configured to determine a bit rate for a video stream to be provided to the other device based at least in part on whether the link utilizes the first cellular communication protocol or the second cellular communication protocol, wherein a first bit rate is determined when the link utilizes the first cellular communication protocol and a second bit rate is determined when the link utilizes the second cellular communication protocol. The at least one processor may be configured to provide, for transmission over the link to the other electronic device, the video stream at the determined bit rate.
