Patent number: 10547603Abstract: In currently available mobile devices (e.g., a user equipment (UE)), no authentication occurs at the mobile device to answer an incoming call at the mobile device. In an aspect of the disclosure, a method, a computer-readable medium, and an apparatus for secure call answering are provided. The apparatus is a first UE. The apparatus receives an incoming call originated from a second UE. The apparatus determines whether the incoming call originated from the second UE is a secure incoming call. The apparatus also receives a secure authentication input upon determining that the incoming call is a secure incoming call. Further, the apparatus determines whether the secure authentication input matches with authentication information upon receiving the secure authentication input. Additionally, the apparatus answers the received secure incoming call originated from the second UE when the received secure authentication input matches the authentication information.Type: GrantFiled: June 22, 2017Date of Patent: January 28, 2020Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Naga Chandan Babu Gudivada, Surendra Kompala, Anand Krishna Puranik

Patent number: 10200969Abstract: Various features related to selectively forwarding alerts/notifications for communications received at a first device to a paired device based on a user's privacy settings, are described. In an aspect of the disclosure, a method and an apparatus are provided. The apparatus maybe a first device, e.g., a UE, including at least one processor. In some configurations, the at least one processor is configured to receive a communication, and determine whether the communication is from a contact associated with a restricted group. The at least one processor maybe further configured to perform, based on the determining, one of: blocking an alert corresponding to the communication from being forwarded to a second device, or forwarding the alert corresponding to the communication to the second device. The second device maybe one of a wearable device, a car infotainment unit, a home entertainment unit, or a business conferencing unit, paired with the first device.Type: GrantFiled: May 9, 2017Date of Patent: February 5, 2019Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Naga Chandan Babu Gudivada, Surendra Kompala, Anand Krishna Puranik, Tushar Gupta, Vishnu Vardhan Kasilya Sudarsan

Patent number: 9990483Abstract: A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for biometric identification are provided. The apparatus may be a user device. The apparatus may detect biometric information for a predetermined period of time. The predetermined period of time may be set by a hysteresis timer. The apparatus may compare the detected biometric information with stored biometric information associated with a stored user profile of a plurality of user profiles. The apparatus may then determine whether to display the stored user profile based on the comparison after the predetermined period of time has elapsed.Type: GrantFiled: May 7, 2014Date of Patent: June 5, 2018Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Debesh Kumar Sahu, Anand Krishna Puranik, Tushar Gupta, Jagadishwar Neela, Vishnu Vardhan Sudarsan Kasilya

Publication number: 20170311242Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. Mobile devices, such as a user equipment (UE), may be able to communicate over a number of different networks, such as a WWAN and a WLAN. Similarly, the UE may be able to perform calls using a number of different networks. At times, completing a call using a WWAN may be preferable to using a WLAN, and at other times completing a call using a WLAN may be preferable to using a WWAN. As such, a UE may receive a plurality of calls, may determine that the calls originate from a same user, may determine which network to select for completing the call, and may complete the call using the selected network. Similarly, a UE may share a vocoder and/or other call components between WWAN components and WLAN components to enable simultaneous initiation of calls on different networks.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 20, 2016Publication date: October 26, 2017Inventors: Anand Krishna Puranik, Raghavendra Shyam Ananda LNU, Anand Rajurkar

Patent number: 9730157Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices are described for detecting a communications network or assisting in the detection of a communications network. In a method for detecting a communications network, a beacon received from a device over a wireless local area network (WLAN) may be decoded to identify an information element (IE) in the beacon. The IE may indicate an availability of another network. When the IE is empty, a sleep mode may be entered (e.g., by a user equipment (UE)). In a method for assisting a detection of a communications network, a database including information indicating an availability of at least a first network may be accessed, and a beacon may be broadcast over a WLAN. The beacon may include an IE that indicates the availability of at least the first network.Type: GrantFiled: May 5, 2014Date of Patent: August 8, 2017Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Anand Krishna Puranik, Debesh Kumar Sahu, George Cherian, Tushar Gupta, Nishi Kanta Das

Patent number: 9295069Abstract: Methods, devices, and systems embodiments enable a multi-antenna mobile device to mitigate radio frequency (RF) radiation exposure to users. A processor may determine a distance between the multi-antenna mobile device and the select portion of the user and switch from using a first antenna that is closer to the select portion of the user to using a second antenna when the multi-antenna mobile device is close to the user. The signal strength of the first antenna may be compared to the signal strength of a second antenna of the multi-antenna mobile device, and the second antenna may be used instead of the first antenna when the signal strength of the first antenna is within a predetermined threshold of the signal strength of the second antenna. If acceptable signal quality is not obtained with the second antenna, the multi-antenna mobile device may switch back to the first antenna.Type: GrantFiled: June 5, 2014Date of Patent: March 22, 2016Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Anand Krishna Puranik, Debesh Kumar Sahu, Venkata Siva Prasad Rao Gude, Tushar Gupta
