Methods, systems and devices are provided for motion-activated display of messages on an activity monitoring device. In one embodiment, method for presenting a message on an activity monitoring device is provided, including the following method operations: downloading a plurality of messages to the device; detecting a stationary state of the device; detecting a movement of the device from the stationary state; in response to detecting the movement from the stationary state, selecting one of a plurality of messages, and displaying the selected message on the device.

A method, apparatus, system and non-transitory computer-readable record medium for a group call using whisper are provided. The group call method includes participating in a group call session with a plurality of participants; designating at least one participant among the plurality of participants as a whisper target based on a touch gesture during the group call session; generating a whisper packet configured to control a server to transfer, only to the whisper target, at least one of video and audio that are input through an input device while the whisper group is designated; and transmitting the whisper packet to the server through the group call session.

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for implementing hotword recognition and passive assistance are disclosed. In one aspect, a method includes the actions of receiving, by a computing device that is operating in a low-power mode and that includes a display that displays a graphical interface while the computing device is in the low-power mode and that is configured to exit the low-power mode in response to detecting a first hotword, audio data corresponding to an utterance. The method further includes determining that the audio data includes a second, different hotword. The method further includes obtaining a transcription of the utterance by performing speech recognition on the audio data. The method further includes generating an additional user interface. The method further includes providing, for output on the display, the additional graphical interface.

According to example embodiments, there is provided a handheld mobile computing device, for example a smartphone, includes a computing system, a motion detector, a global positioning system receiver, and a touch-screen display to display a user interface and detect user selections from the user interface. A usage goal-setting user interface includes a dashboard and a plurality of user-selectable menu options, the usage goal-setting user interface including display elements allowing a user to enter one or more parameters respecting the goals including physical activity usage goals, social activity usage goals, educational usage goals, and mindfulness usage goals. An activity and context tracking system includes computer instructions operable on the computing system to obtain the user's location, obtain the time of day, obtain motion information from the motion detector, obtain location information from the global positioning receiver, obtain app usage information, obtain operating mode changes for the mobile device. A recommendation engine includes computer instructions operable on a computing system and uses the parameters respecting the goals, as specified using the goal-setting user interface, and information from the activity and context tracking system, and analyzes the acquired information to generate and send messages identifying opportunities for the user to change their behavior to better align the use of the smart phone with the usage goals.
