Abstract:
Methods, systems, and computer programs are presented for generating location-based playlists. The disclosed method includes providing a music service for generating playlists for a location, identifying users having respective user devices within the defined boundaries of the location, and aggregating music preferences of the identified users. Each of the user devices have access to the music service and the aggregated music preferences of the identified users identify a plurality of music tracks. The disclosed method further includes generating a playlist having the plurality of music tracks based on the aggregated music preferences and providing an access to the generated playlist to the identified users at the location. The plurality of music tracks of the playlist is provided for listening by the music service to one or more of the user devices.
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:
A computing system includes at least one processor and at least one module operable by the at least one processor to receive location information associated with a computing device, including indications of locations at which the computing device was previously located and an indication of a current location of the computing device, determine, based at least in part on the location information, a predicted destination, determine, based at least in part on the current location of the computing device and the predicted destination, a predicted travel route, determine, based at least in part on an amount of traffic along the predicted travel route, a predicted arrival time, determine, based at least in part on the predicted destination, one or more other users, and send an indication of the predicted arrival time to one or more computing devices associated with the one or more other users.

Abstract:
Methods, apparatus and computer-readable media (transitory and non-transitory) are disclosed for determining one or more additional task features for a task of a user. In some implementations, the additional task features may be determined based on additional information from one or more sources that are distinct from the source(s) from which the task is identified or determined. The additional task features may be determined based on the additional information and based on user information that is associated with the user. For example, the additional information may define a superset of information and the additional task features may be a subset of the defined superset. The additional task features may be utilized to generate a task notification related to the task, and the task notification may be provided for presentation to the user.
Abstract:
Provided are systems, methods, and computer-readable media for identifying reviews from comments associated with a location. User-submitted comments to various services are evaluated to identify the comment as a review. If the comment is not identified as a review, no further action is taken. If the comment is identified as a review, the user is prompted for permission to publish the comment as a review of the location. If the user provides permission, the comment is stored as a review of the location.

Abstract:
Methods and apparatus related to determining an inquiry to provide to a user based on deficient information related to a plan of the user. Deficient information may be determined based on an insufficient association between a desired information item of the plan and a set of information items that are determined from one or more sources associated with the user. In some implementations, the user may provide, responsive to the inquiry, additional information related to the deficient information and a suggestion may be provided to the user based on the additional information.
Abstract:
Methods, apparatus and computer-readable media (transitory and non-transitory) are disclosed for receiving audio information based on sensing of one or more audible sounds; identifying one or more voice profiles, wherein each of the voice profiles is associated with an individual and indicates one or more voice characteristics of the associated individual; determining at least a given voice profile of the one or more voice profiles matches the audio information; determining co-presence of the user with at least the individual associated with the given voice profile based on determining the given voice profile matches the audio information; identifying an action that includes a trigger based on co-presence of the user and the individual associated with the given voice profile; and invoking the action based on the determined co-presence of the user with at least the individual associated with the given voice profile.
