  • Patent number: 9377894
    Abstract: A device includes a touch screen display comprising a touch sensitive panel and a display. The touch sensitive panel receives a touch event, and records the touch event as touch panel data. The device analyzes the touch panel data to identify the touch event as a valid or a non-valid touch event, determines, if the touch event is a non-valid touch event and based on the touch panel data, one or more regions of a touch panel display associated with the non-valid touch event, and turns off or dims the determined one or more regions of the touch panel display.

  • Publication number: 20160165423
    Abstract: In response to attaching to a mobile network, a user equipment (10) receives a provisioning message (207) from the mobile network. The provisioning message indicates a list of one or more applications which are allowed to perform data communication in a disaster situation. The user equipment (10) may authenticate the provisioning message (207) and then use the list for performing application specific congestion control.

  • Publication number: 20160050130
    Abstract: A method includes receiving registration information for a plurality of user devices associated with a streaming service. The method includes storing information about switching statistics for switching between the plurality of user devices that receive the streaming service. The method includes determining an expected switching scenario when switching between the plurality of user devices is probable to occur. The method also includes monitoring a current user device among the plurality of user devices that currently receives the streaming service to detect the expected switching scenario. The method further includes initiating preparation for handover of streaming service, and performing handover of the streaming service from the current user device to at least one resuming user device among the plurality of user devices.
