Abstract:
Systems and methods for passing account authentication information via parameters. A server can provide, to a client device, an account parameter derived from an account credential used to authenticate a first application to insert into a link. The link can include an address referencing a second application. The account parameter can be passed from the first application to the second application responsive to an interaction on the link. The server can receive from the second application of the client device, subsequent to passing the account parameter from the first application to the second application, a request to authenticate the second application including the account parameter. The server can authenticate the client device for the second application using the account parameter. The server can transmit, responsive to authenticating the client device for the second application, an authentication indication to the second application of the client device.
Abstract:
An example method includes receiving, from an application of a client device, a request, generated based on originating content provided by an originating web server, for target content associated with a target web server. The method also includes identifying a referrer tag in the request that identifies an originating web server associated with the originating web server device or an attribution tag in the request that identifies a trigger event that caused the attribution tag to be included within the originating content. The method additionally includes determining that the referrer tag or the attribution tag is in a set of predefined tags that classifies the originating web service as a notification-like source and, in response, transmitting instructions to the application. Reception of the instructions causes the client device to display a prompt requesting permission to provide notifications from a target web service associated with the target web server device.

Abstract:
In general, this disclosure is directed to techniques for sending notification data to computing devices that are unable to receive the notification data from a central server. A server device may receive notification data for a notification account that is associated with a computing device and determine that the computing device is currently offline. The server device may then identify a group of one or more sharing devices and send a notification package to a sharing device of the group, wherein the notification package includes the notification data, an account identifier associated with the notification account, and a device identifier associated with the computing device. The sharing device may receive the notification package and, responsive to determining that a device identifier for the computing device matches the device identifier in the notification package, forward the notification data to the computing device.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for adjusting an eligibility value for transmitting a digital component. In one aspect, a computing system includes a server for identifying opportunities to transmit digital components to client devices. The server determines a first probability of a given outcome occurring following user interaction with the digital component when the digital component is transmitted to the client device. The server determines a second probability of the given outcome occurring if the digital component is not transmitted to the client device. The server generates an outcome incrementality factor for the digital component, including determining a ratio of the first probability relative to the second probability, and triggers adjustment of an eligibility value based on the outcome incrementality factor. The server then controls transmission of the digital component to the client device using the adjusted eligibility value.

Abstract:
Systems and methods for providing third-party content can include a data processing system receiving criteria defining online activities of an online activity type related to a product or service context from a computing device of a third-party content provider. The data processing system can identify a cluster of client devices based on the defined online activities, and determine a subset of keywords associated with the defined online activities and the identified cluster of client devices. The data processing system can determine a performance metric of the subset of keywords based on the cluster of client devices, and provide the subset of keywords and the performance metric to the computing device. The data processing system can receive from the computing device a parameter value of a first keyword of the subset of keywords to use in selecting content items of the third-party content provider associated with the first keyword.
Abstract:
Methods, apparatus, systems, and computer-readable media are provided for providing context specific schema files that allow an automated assistant to broker human-to-computer dialogs between a user and an application that is separate from the automated assistant. The context specific schema file can provide the automated assistant with sufficient data to be responsive to user queries without necessarily communicating with a remote device, such as a server. Multiple different context specific schema files can be made available to the automated assistant according to a context in which a user is interacting with the automated assistant. In this way, latency otherwise exhibited by the automated assistant can be mitigated by providing the automated assistant with the information needed to respond to a user without continually retrieving the information over a network.
