CPC Class H04W

A device provides user interfaces for a messaging application. The device receives a first message and displays a representation of the first message, where the first message is scheduled to be deleted upon satisfaction of expiration criteria. The device displays an affordance for keeping the first message. In accordance with a determination that the affordance was selected prior to the satisfaction of the expiration criteria, the device keeps the first message. In accordance with a determination that the expiration criteria has been satisfied without detecting selection of the affordance, the device ceases to display the representation of the first message on the display.

Example implementations may involve using a prompt to prevent inadvertent control or playback of audio content. When a mobile device receives input data indicating a command to play back audio content on a first playback device, the mobile device determines whether the mobile device is in proximity to the first playback device. If the mobile device determines that the mobile device within a given proximity to the first playback device, the mobile device transmits, via the network interface, one or more commands to instruct the first playback device to play back the audio content. However, if the mobile device determines that the mobile device outside the proximity, the mobile device displays a prompt indicating that the mobile device is the outside the given proximity to the first playback device and a selectable control that, when selected, transmits the one or more commands to play back the audio content.

A method begins by sending a set of read requests to a first set of storage units of the DSN. The method continues by sending a set of read foreign requests to a second set of storage units of the DSN. The method continues by receiving favorable responses to the set of read requests. When a favorable response is received regarding the read foreign request, the method continues by determining whether an encoded data slice (EDS) contained in the favorable response is needed to obtain a decode threshold number of EDSs. When the EDS is needed, the method continues by including the EDSs contained in the favorable response regarding the read foreign request with other EDSs received in the favorable responses to the set of read requests to produce the decode threshold number of EDSs. The method continues by decoding the threshold number of EDSs to recover the data segment.

A digital picture frame including a camera integrated with the frame, and a network connection module allowing the frame for direct contact and upload of photos from electronic devices or from a user's social media account or her or his community members' social media accounts. The integrated camera is used to automatically determine an identity of a frame viewer, and a viewer profile automatically determined from the identity of the viewer. The displayed photos are automatically shown and/or changed according to the detected viewers.

A mobile information apparatus for making mobile payments associated with a credit card or bank card, via a near distance radio frequency wireless communication, is herein disclosed and enabled. At least part of payment information and part of a device identification number associated with the mobile information apparatus are stored in the mobile information apparatus with an encryption technique. To make a payment, a user moves the mobile information apparatus to within a limited local physical distance from a wireless output controller. The user authorizes the payment by providing, via an interface, an input such as a password, a pin code, a button, biometrics or an ID number. Subsequent to the user authorization, the mobile information apparatus releases the payment information and the device identification number, over a short range radio frequency communication link, directly from the mobile information apparatus to the wireless output controller for payment and transaction processing.

Disclosed are various examples for deploying applications on client devices through a management service. A client device can be enrolled with a management service. The management service can determine application settings that are associated with an application and generate an application profile for the application. The application profile can be used to deploy the application to client devices and provision the application with the appropriate application settings.
