Abstract: A method of data protection is used in a communication device. The communication may read a phone number of a subscriber identity module (SIM) card, and further determines whether the phone number conforms to a preset phone number stored in the communication device. Personal data stored in the communication device will be locked if the phone number does not conform to the preset phone number. The communication device further transmits a warning and location information of the communication device to a preset called communication device.

The corresponding axes are substantially perpendicular to the second direction.

Abstract: A mechanism for mitigating inter-user interference in a multi-user wireless communication environment is disclosed. A first network device determines a plurality of steering matrices, associated with a corresponding plurality of subcarriers, for each of multiple destination devices associated with the first network device. A phase difference between corresponding steering vectors of each pair of consecutive steering matrices of the plurality of steering matrices associated with each of the destination devices is determined and phase rotation is performed to maintain phase continuity between the consecutive steering matrices. One or more pre-coding matrices are calculated based on at least a subset of the plurality of steering matrices associated with the multiple destination devices. The one or more pre-coding matrices are applied to data to be transmitted to the multiple destination devices to mitigate interference between each of the multiple destination devices.

Abstract: A user's presence is established in a particular zone of a virtual area that is assigned to the user. An indication of the user's presence in the particular zone is transmitted to each communicant who has a respective relationship tie with the user that satisfies a governance rule that is associated with the particular zone.

Abstract: A network coordinator can assign an association identifier (AID) and/or a group identifier (GID) to identify a client station to which a packet is to be transmitted and to enable the client station to determine whether to receive an incoming packet. The network coordinator can randomly generate a base AID that is representative of the network coordinator and can assign at least one AID to client stations to minimize the probability of client stations associated with proximate network coordinators being assigned the same AIDs. The network coordinator can also randomly assign at least one GID to a group of client stations to minimize the probability of groups of client stations associated with the proximate network coordinators being assigned the same GID. The client station can analyze indications of a received AID and/or received GID to determine whether to receive the packet or whether to switch to an inactive power state.

Abstract: Automatically created and dynamically updated lists of a user's frequently called contacts and favorite calling numbers may be provided via a frequently called contacts and favorite calling numbers application. If a call usage count associated with a particular phone number meets a prescribed threshold, the phone number may be added to a frequently called contacts list. Given a user's call frequency and type, the frequently called contacts list may be updated dynamically. A favorite calling numbers list may be generated manually or automatically based on various criteria for adding contact numbers to the list. Both the frequently called contacts list and the favorite calling numbers list may be tied in with a service provider's billing system, wherein special rates or discounts may be applied to calls made to or received from phone numbers in the frequently called contacts list or favorite calling numbers list.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses for securing property are presented. Video content viewed by a user may be detected, and the user may be automatically prompted to change settings on a security system based on the detecting. A comparison of the current time with the duration of the video content may serve as the basis for such prompting. Additionally, a premise security system may be placed in a learning mode. Changes in position of a security sensor may be detected and used to set a permitted range of motion for the sensor. Further, a plurality of security sensor profiles may be stored, and each profile may identify a different predefined permitted range of motion of a sensor. The addition of a new sensor to a premise may be detected, and a user may be prompted, on a display, to identify a profile to be used for the new sensor.
