    Abstract: The disclosed technology is directed towards managing the establishment and maintenance of communication connectivity between a device and service. Condition data can indicate when to initiate a state change of a connection between a device and a server. Current device conditions associated with the device are evaluated to determine whether to initiate a state change, e.g., from a connected state to a paused state, or vice-versa. The connectivity may be managed per connection type, e.g., cellular versus Wi-Fi, and on a per-application basis, e.g., turned on for a social media application, off for mail and messaging applications. Settings can be used to manage connectivity for an application, e.g., sometimes connected, sometimes paused based on information specific to that application. Trends, user practices and schedule data can be used to predict and manage connectivity, as well as to notify the user to take some action.

    Abstract: The disclosed technology is directed towards presenting an avatar in a virtual reality environment in different ways to different users, based on relationship data including a familiarity level and trust level with each other user. The familiarity level data and/or trust level data can be updated with each encounter with another user. The presentations of the same avatar can be different to the other users encountered at the same time, e.g., a lower resolution avatar presented to a less familiar and/or less trusted other user, a higher resolution avatar presented to a more familiar and/or more trusted other user. Audio volume and/or clarity may be similarly modified based on relationship data. A user having an encounter with another user may have a mirror view of the user's own avatar, and can improve or degrade the avatar's appearance (and/or aural output) during the encounter.

    Abstract: The disclosed technology is directed towards obtaining a search query by monitoring a user group's communications, and presenting search results to the user group. A conversation thread is inferred by a system, e.g., a conversational search server of a cloud based system. The conversational search server determines a search query relevant to the conversation thread, and communicates with a search engine or the like to obtain search result data. The search result data is presented on devices of the users of the group, e.g., via a virtual agent. Search queries can be altered as a conversation progresses to provide updated and/or filtered results. For example, broad results can be narrowed as more information is obtained by the system as a conversation progresses. Search results can be interactive, such as to obtain more information for a result, or to obtain a consensus as to what the majority of a group selects.

    Abstract: The disclosed technology is generally directed towards monitoring electronic communications to detect content in a communication that is attempting to influence the recipient user in some way. A user can specify influential intent preference data, such as which electronic communications services/applications to monitor for such influential intent content, and the types of the influential intent to monitor for, e.g., political influence types, advertisement influence types, and so on. A user also can specify remedial or other actions to take upon detection, e.g., block such content, alert on detecting such content and so on. An electronic influence manager server and/or application program can perform the monitoring and/or take the actions. Also described is reporting on the communications with influential intent, user actions with respect thereto. Reputation data can also be collected and used with respect to sources of communications with influential intent.

    Abstract: The disclosed technology is directed towards detection of personal threats to a user based on information known to a user's device and other information. A device with a personal threat application program and server communicate information, including data describing the user's current physical situation, e.g., including current location. The server and/or application program obtain data describing environmental conditions around the user's location, e.g., corresponding to a defined personal zone. The personal zone size automatically can vary based on current factors. Based on the situation and environmental data reaching a threshold threat level, a potential threat to the user can be predicted and the prediction, used to take some action, such as to send an alert to the user and/or otherwise output a warning signal. Historical data such as statistics related to the user's current location can be accessed to assist with the prediction.

    Abstract: The disclosed technology is directed towards monitoring media content, including without presenting the monitored media content via a media presentation device, or while presenting in parallel. In general, supplementary data describing the monitored media content is obtained, e.g., generated by a media server based on the content being monitored. The supplementary data is presented via a user interface for a user to monitor, e.g., as displayed text, documents, audio in or other ways such as a combination of text and images. The user interface can be a primary presentation device the user is using, and/or another user device. The supplementary data can describe scenes of video, and/or transcriptions of audio, for example. The supplementary data can be interacted with, such as to switch to present the monitored media content or a selected portion thereof. Multiple media content presentations can be monitored, with supplementary data available for each.
