    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes receiving a natural-language message including an authorization request to authorize a first user access to one or more of a number of connected devices associated with a second user; parsing the natural-language message; identifying, based on the parsed natural-language message, the first user and one or more of a number of connected devices; implicitly determining that the first user is authorized to access the identified one or more of the number of connected devices based on a calculated strength of a relationship between a node representing the first user in a social graph and a node representing the second user in the social graph satisfying a pre-determined threshold; and providing, based on the implicit authorization, access to the identified one or more of the number of connected devices.

    Abstract translation: 在一个实施例中,一种方法包括接收包括授权请求的自然语言消息,以授权第一用户访问与第二用户相关联的多个连接设备中的一个或多个; 解析自然语言信息; 基于解析的自然语言消息识别第一用户和多个连接的设备中的一个或多个; 基于所计算出的在社交图表中表示第一用户的节点与表示社交图中的第二用户的节点之间的关系的强度,隐含地确定第一用户被授权访问所连接的一个或多个连接设备中的一个或多个 图满足预定阈值; 以及基于所述隐式授权提供对所识别的一个或多个所连接设备的访问。

    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes receiving information from a network-enabled device, the network-enabled device being associated with a first user of a social-networking system. The information indicates that the physical presence of an item has been detected by one or more sensors of the network-enabled device. The method further includes identifying the item based on the received information and providing information about the identified item to one or more second users of the social-networking system.

    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes receiving, from a device via a wireless signal, a request to access a WLAN of a router, the request including a device identifier. The provisioning agent may be within wireless ranges of the device and of the router. The provisioning agent may request, from an authentication server, a password for the device. The password may be uniquely generated by the authentication server for the device. The provisioning agent may receive the password from the authentication server. The provisioning agent may send, to the router, the password and the device identifier. The provisioning agent may receive, from the router, an indication that the router has verified the password with the authentication server. The router may store the device identifier in association with the password. The provisioning agent may send, to the device, the password. The password may authenticate the device to the router.

    Abstract: A first electronic device stores in its memory one or more installation files for a first version of an application. A local connection is established between the first electronic device and a second electronic device. The local connection is independent of Internet connectivity. Using the local connection, a determination is made as to whether the first version of the application is installed on the second electronic device. In response to a determination that the first version of the application is not installed on the second electronic device, the first electronic device sends, to the second electronic device through the local connection, the one or more installation files for the first version of the application.

    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes, by a first computing device associated with a first user, receiving a connection request from a second computing device associated with a second user. The method also includes confirming that the connection request is associated with the second user and sending to the second computing device an acceptance of the connection request in response to confirming that the connection request is associated with the second user. The method further includes receiving from the second computing device an acknowledgement of the acceptance and, in response to the acknowledgement, allowing information to be exchanged between the first and second computing devices.

    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes analyzing information received from a first network-enabled device to identify instructions for a second network-enabled device associated with a second user of a social-networking system, the first network-enabled device being associated with a first user of the social-networking system. The method also includes determining (1) that the first user is connected to the second user with respect to a social graph of the social-networking system and (2) that the first user has authorization to provide instructions to the second network-enabled device, where the authorization is based on social-networking information. The method further includes providing the instructions to the second network-enabled device.
