    Abstract: An electronic device having a user-interface locked state and a user-interface unlocked state may be in the locked state. The locked electronic device may detect, via wireless communication, an external device; receive, from the external device, unlocking information for unlocking the electronic device. The locked electronic device may determine whether the external device is authorized to facilitate its unlocking. The locked electronic device may detect user input. In response to the user input, the received unlocking information, and/or a determination that the external device is authorized, the locked electronic device may unlock and enter a normal operating state wherein application programs may be launched and used.

    Abstract: Some techniques are described herein for coordinating device activity, with devices included in one or more different groups of devices. One technique includes coordinating activities among a group as coordinator. For example, in a group of devices, a coordinator device obtains a cluster list of activities from each member device in the group. The coordinator device establishes a new cluster list of activities based on each received cluster list of activities and sends the new cluster list to the member devices. Another technique includes coordinating changes of the coordinator role as a member. Another technique includes changing state of activities via an assertion system. Another technique includes selectively sending requests to change states of local activities. Yet another technique includes a distributed mechanism for selecting a primary device to interact with a user.

    Abstract: A connection manager manages connections for associated user devices by determining whether an incoming connection has been answered at a user device, and if so then generating and transmitting silencing commands to associated user devices using first and second wireless communication modes, with one mode being faster. Connections can comprise phone calls, and modes can comprise push and Bluetooth® messaging. The connection manager can instruct device outputs to provide connection alerts, limited to visual alerts when an associated user device is active, listen for associated user device communications, and instruct device outputs to stop providing alerts when a silencing command is received. Further, a connection manager can receive a signal regarding a headset status, route an outside connection from a phone to the headset when the headset is active or to another device when the headset is not active, detect a change in headset status, and reroute the connection accordingly.
