A computing device includes a touch-sensitive area that is arranged and configured to receive one or more gestures, and a memory that is arranged and configured to store one or more device gestures, where the stored device gestures correspond to a selection of one or more remote devices and a processor that is operably coupled to the touch sensitive area and the memory. The processor is arranged and configured to compare the gestures received in the touch sensitive area to the stored device gestures, determine a selected remote device based on the comparison, and initiate contact with the selected remote device.

A method begins by a load balancing module of a distributed storage network (DSN) determining availability of a plurality of DSN processing units of a set of DSN processing units based on availability information associated with the plurality of DSN processing units and in response to determined availability, selecting a DSN processing unit form the set to process a data access request. The method continues with the load balancing module receiving an indication that the DSN processing unit is no longer available from the DSN processing unit while the DSN processing unit continues to process previously pending data access requests. The method continues with the load balancing module cancelling selection of the DSN processing unit to process the data access request; and receiving a second indication from the DSN processing unit indication that the DSN processing unit is available.

A system and method that provides customized graphical user interfaces on mobile devices based on user inputs. An exemplary method includes detecting a computing device remotely connected to a remote server over a network and having an active session of a software application running on the remote server. Moreover, the method further includes identifying and selecting one or more hotkey buttons based on the detected software application, transmitting the one or more hotkey buttons to the computing device to be displayed in a customized interface while the software application is active, detecting an activation of the one or more hotkey buttons displayed on the computing device, and executing, by the remote server, an operation for the active software application in response to the activation of the one or more hotkey button by the user.

An electronic device may include a display, a communication circuit, a processor operatively connected to the display and the communication circuit, and a memory operatively connected to the processor, wherein the memory may store instructions which, when executed, cause the processor to: receive information relating to at least one application installed in an external electronic device from the external electronic device through the communication circuit; configure, on the basis of the received information, the at least one application as a remote control application controlled by the electronic device; receive a notification message related to the remote control application from the external electronic device through the communication circuit; and display, on the display, a first object indicating reception of the notification message. Various other embodiments are also possible.
