  • Patent number: 11961399
    Abstract: A method is disclosed. A data set including: (a) identifiers of a set of incidents occurring within a defined geographic region to which at least one service provider responded during a first time period and (b) address data identifying a location within the geographic region of each said incident of the set is retrieved over a network. An instruction to generate a heat map of the incidents occurring within the geographic region during the first time period is received from a user via a user interface generated to a display device. In response to the instruction to generate the heat map, the address data is converted to GPS data. A heat map of an aerial view of the geographic region based on the GPS data is generated. The heat map is displayed to the display device in a user interface.

  • Patent number: 11950326
    Abstract: A wireless communication system includes one or more base stations, and a plurality of UEs for a sidelink communication using sidelink resources. The UEs includes a transmitting UE and a receiving UE using a subset of the sidelink resources of the wireless communication system. The receiving UE sends over the sidelink a sidelink feedback to the transmitting UE. The sidelink feedback indicates for a data transmission a successful or non-successful reception at the receiving UE. The transmitting UE reports the sidelink feedback to a base station. The base station provides to the transmitting UE, responsive to the sidelink feedback, sidelink resources for a possible retransmission of a data packet over the sidelink to the receiving UE. The reporting of the sidelink feedback to the base station by the transmitting UE is activated or deactivated responsive to one or more conditions.

  • Patent number: 11943713
    Abstract: A wireless device features a low-power, limited-functionality, narrowband, homodyne wakeup receiver with a free running local oscillator. This enables a very attractive combination of low power consumption and high selectivity. The network supports these receivers by adopting a wakeup message structure that supports oscillator frequency calibration, and that tolerates loss of parts of the signal spectrum. Wakeup signals are transmitted frequently to allow the wakeup receivers (whether targeted by a wakeup signal or not) to calibrate their LO frequencies. The frequencies of the wakeup signals can be constant, or follow a hopping pattern for increased immunity to interference. The wakeup signals can use multiple carriers to increase robustness to loss of parts of the signal spectrum, particularly near the LO frequency in a homodyne receiver. The carriers use amplitude modulation (OOK), with either different or equal sequences.

    Abstract: Systems and processes for providing, via an electronic device, suggested user actions. The suggested actions are provided in response to detecting an occurrence of a predefined event occurring in the user's day. The occurrence of the anchor is encoded in signals generated by the electronic device. The occurrence of the anchor is detectable via monitoring and analysis of electronic signals. Based on the user's previous interactions with the device, the occurrence of the anchor is indicative of user behavior and/or action taken in response to the anchor. Machine learning (ML) is employed to train an anchor model to associate actions taken in response to anchor occurrences. The trained anchor model is employed to detect anchors and provide suggested actions in response to the detected anchor occurrence. The suggested action is based on a type of anchor occurrence and contextual conditions of the anchor occurrences.
