Abstract:
A method for storing third-party application data to cloud storage is described herein. The method includes determining to upload data associated with a third-party application stored on a client device to a cloud storage server. The data associated with the third-party application includes both binary data and metadata. The method further includes storing the binary data of the third-party application at a first cloud storage location. The first cloud storage location has a storage address and the metadata is updated to include the storage address. The method includes storing the updated metadata to a second cloud storage location different from the first cloud storage location.
Abstract:
Systems and techniques are provided for restricted accounts on a mobile platform. A request to create a restricted account may be received. The restricted account may be a user account with a restriction. Credentials for the restricted account may be received. A restriction for the restricted account may be received. The restriction may include an access restriction or a lifetime restriction. An access restriction may prevent an application from accessing the restricted account and a lifetime restriction may limit the lifetime of the restricted account. The restricted account may be stored with the credentials and the restriction. A request may be received for a list of user accounts from an application. The restricted account may be determined to include an access restriction that prevents the application from accessing the restricted account. The list of user accounts may be sent to the application and without an identifier for the restricted account.
Abstract:
A system of configuring a new device may include a new device that is not configured with one or more settings. The new device includes a short range communication transmitter and programming instructions configured to cause the new device to operate in a discoverable mode. The system includes an existing device that is configured with the settings, and that includes a short range communication receiver and programming instructions. The programming instructions are configured to cause the existing device to receive instructions to set up the new device, in response to receiving the instructions, detect, by the short range communication receiver, a presence of the new device by detecting the broadcast signal within a communication range of the short range communication receiver, and in response to detecting the presence of the new device, transmit at least a portion of the one or more settings directly to the new device.
