Abstract: Exemplary embodiments relate to techniques for displaying and interacting with ephemeral content messages in a communication service. Ephemeral content, transmitted as a message in order to preserve end-to-end encryption, may be tagged with an identifier designating the message as an ephemeral content message. A receiving client may recognize the flag and display the content of the message as ephemeral content. The update may include a link to the content that expires under certain conditions. While the link is active, the link may be selected to enter a full-screen presentation of the ephemeral content. Different media types may be associated with different types of full-screen presentations. Displayed ephemeral content from different users may be ranked based on an interest score and displayed in the ranked order. Ephemeral content may be displayed in a user interface on separate tabs.

Abstract: Various systems described herein may allow a user's personal information, such as their medical history, to be automatically delivered to appropriate emergency personnel in response to a reported emergency, such as a 911 call, activation of a smoke alarm or security system, or other emergency. Various items of personal and confidential information may be stored in a secure location, and the user may provide advanced approval to have the information automatically delivered to emergency responders in response to a request for emergency assistance. For example, after the user initiates a request for emergency assistance, a computing device may determine whether the user has granted approval for emergency delivery of the user's confidential information, and if such approval has been granted, the computing device may request the delivery of the user's confidential information to the emergency responders.

Abstract: Method performed by a first network node (101), e.g. a SGSN or an MME. The first network node (101) initiates sending (401) a first paging request to a second network node (102), e.g. a node of a Base Station Subsystem (BSS), which indicates that a wireless device (141) served by the second network node (102) is to initiate cell reselection prior to sending a first response, based on the first paging request, wherein the wireless device (141) is to be paged for a positioning procedure, e.g. a timing advance (TA) multilateration.

One or more processors determine, for a given geographic region, position information for each of a plurality of requesters for an on-demand service and position information for each of a plurality of service providers that can provide the on-demand service. A plurality of sub-regions is identified for the given geographic region. Based, at least in part, on the position information of the requesters and the service providers, one or more sub-regions are determined as being under-supplied by the plurality of service providers as compared to one or more other sub-regions. Information identifying the under-supplied sub-regions are provided to one or more service provider devices.

Abstract: A device, system and method for emergency audio transmission is provided. A server receives, over a broadband network, a request to make an emergency audio transmission to a talk group. The request is received from a first push-to-talk (PTT) device communicatively connected with the talk group over a narrow band network at which a second PTT device of the talk group has floor control. In response to granting the request, the server receives, from the first PTT device, an audio transmission over the broadband network, and transmits the audio transmission to the talk group via the broadband network.

The system receives from the departing compute device, at least one media file associated with the event and publishes, via a host server, the set of media files and the at least one media file associated with the event.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods and arrangements for performing wireless device assisted handover form a source access node to a target access node. Performed in a wireless device, the method comprises performing (S31) one or more mobility measurements for corresponding candidate radio links and transmitting (S33) a first radio link measurement report, comprising the mobility measurements for a recommended target link, using a first radio link reporting mechanism to the source access node. When communication over a target link is not initiated under a predetermined condition, the method comprises transmitting a second radio link measurement report, for the one or more candidate radio links, on the recommended target link using a second radio link reporting mechanism different from the first radio link reporting mechanism.

Abstract: A user equipment camping method and apparatus and a paging method and apparatus, and a storage medium are provided in the technical field of communications. The method includes: detecting a current camped cell; when it is determined through the detection that the current camped cell satisfies a triggering condition and when a UE is in a silence state, determining a target camped cell, wherein the silence state is a state where the UE performs no data transmission after performing a data transmission; and performing reselection from the current camped cell to the target camped cell. According to this disclosure, when a UE is in a silence state and the UE determines that its serving cell needs to be changed, the UE directly performs a cell reselection procedure instead of performing a cell handover procedure, thereby preventing a large amount of air interface signaling and network side signaling from being caused by the cell handover procedure and hence significantly reducing signaling consumption.

Abstract: A wireless transmission system logs and communicates a location of an object. The wireless transmission system includes a wireless antenna configured to transmit a first beacon signal and a second advertising beacon signal. The system also includes a processor and a memory that stores instructions executable by the processor. The instructions cause the wireless antenna to repeatedly transmit the first beacon signal through a first number of transmission repetitions spaced at a first repeat interval. After completing the first number of transmission repetitions, the wireless antenna withholds transmission during a transition interval. After the transition interval, the wireless antenna repeatedly transmits the second advertising beacon signal through a second number of transmission repetitions at a second repeat interval. The wireless antenna, memory, and processor may be integrated in to a mountable housing and attached to an object or integrated with the tool.

Abstract: A network system detects lost client devices based on a comparison of geospatial locations transmitted by user and provider client devices during and after a service. The network system assigns a service status indicating that a service from a start location to a destination location is in progress and monitors the locations of the user and provider client devices during the duration of the service and for a specified period of time after the service ends. In response to determining that the user and provider client devices remain in proximity to each other after the service has ended, the network system notifies the user of the lost device.
