Abstract: A multi-user computing device, such a communal computing device like an interactive digital whiteboard, can execute single user aware (“SUA”) applications and multi-user aware (“MUA”) applications. Instances of SUA applications execute in the context of a single user. MUA applications can execute in the contexts of multiple authenticated users simultaneously. A multi-user aware OS platform authenticates and de-authenticates users of the multi-user computing device. The multi-user aware OS platform provides notifications to MUA applications when users are authenticated and de-authenticated. When a new user is authenticated, MUA applications begin executing in the context of the newly authenticated user and any other previously authenticated users. When users are de-authenticated, MUA applications stop executing in the context of the de-authenticated user but continue executing in the context of the remaining authenticated users of the multi-user computing device. Data associated with the de-authenticated user is removed from the multi-user computing device.

Abstract: Methods, systems, apparatuses, and computer-readable storage mediums described herein enable a dashboard panel application to make “widgets” available to a user on a computing device that provide application functionality without corresponding applications having to be installed on the computing device, and without the use of a conventional web browser. Configuration information is accessed that identifies a plurality of widgets selected for display in a dashboard panel of a dashboard panel application. Account credentials for the widgets are transmitted to corresponding server-hosted services at network addresses indicated in manifests of the widgets. Data associated with the widgets is received from the server-hosted services. A view of the dashboard panel is composed that includes a view of the widgets incorporating the received data. The dashboard panel view is caused to be rendered on the base graphical canvas. Different account credentials may be used to authenticate the widgets with the various server-hosted services.

Abstract: A communal computing device, such as an interactive digital whiteboard, can become unlocked if a user is near the device. The communal computing device may use a sensor such as a camera to capture images of a person and obtain an identifier from a personal device such as a smartphone. A cloud-based provider that is trusted by both the communal computing device and the personal device may associate both the image and the identifier of the personal device with the same user identity. Obtaining the user identity from multiple, different sources provides a secure technique for the communal computing device to recognize a user without the user directly interacting with the communal computing device. If the sensor no longer detects the user or the personal device is no longer detected, then the communal computing device may log off the user. The personal device may be used to confirm log off.

Abstract: A system for generating proximal menus described herein can include a processor to detect a location of a touch gesture on a display device coupled to the system. The processor can also determine a proximal menu is to be displayed at the location of the touch gesture and populate the proximal menu with at least one feature corresponding to a ring of an operating system. Furthermore, the processor can display the proximal menu with the at least one feature within an executed application.
