  • Patent number: 12041338
    Abstract: Various implementations disclosed herein include devices, systems, and methods for capturing a new media content item. In various implementations, a device includes a display, one or more processors and a non-transitory memory. In some implementations, a method includes determining a plot template for generating a media content item based on other media content items that are distributed temporally. In some implementations, the plot template is defined by a set of one or more conditional triggers for capturing the other media content items. In some implementations, the method includes determining that a condition associated with a first conditional trigger of the set of one or more conditional triggers is satisfied. In some implementations, the method includes in response to the condition associated with the first conditional trigger being satisfied, displaying, on the display, a notification to capture a new media content item for populating the plot template.

  • Patent number: 12038520
    Abstract: A method, UE and integrated circuit for reporting RSTD values to a network. A user equipment (UE) is configured to establish a connection to a network, the network comprising a first cell and a second cell. The UE receives a positioning reference signal from each of the first and second cells, determines a frequency band for each of the positioning reference signals, determines reference signal time difference (RSTD) values from measured time offsets between the positioning reference signals from the first and second cells, determines RSTD reporting values based on at least the RSTD values and the determined frequency bands and transmits an indication of the RSTD reporting values to the network.

  • Patent number: 12040868
    Abstract: Configuring channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) reporting at a network may include encoding a single CSI-RS reporting configuration for transmission to a user equipment (UE) that is in connected mode with both a first transmission and reception point (TRP) and a second TRP. The single CSI-RS reporting configuration may include a plurality of CSI-RS resource sets. Each of the plurality of CSI-RS resource sets may include a plurality of CSI-RS resources. At least one of the plurality of CSI-RS resource sets may include CSI-RS resources that correspond to the first TRP or the second TRP. A CSI measurement communication received from the UE may be decoded. The CSI measurement communication may be based on the single CSI-RS reporting configuration communication. Based on the CSI measurement communication, one or more downlink data transmissions may be scheduled.

  • Patent number: 12039157
    Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to user interfaces for managing exposure notifications. In some embodiments, after enabling exposure notifications, an exposure notification is received; upon interacting with the notification: if an associated application is installed, a user interface of that application is displayed; if the associated application is not installed, a user interface object associated with a process to install the application is displayed. In some embodiments, an exposure notification management interface is displayed that includes a plurality of entities that have been authorized to provide notifications, along with a user interface object to disable transmission of data to those entities and to disable notifications from those entities.

  • Patent number: 12040598
    Abstract: A mobile device includes a camera and a light source module embedded in the mobile device. The light source module includes at least a laser-pumped phosphor light source that includes a photoluminescent phosphor and a laser diode to generate laser light within a first wavelength range to pump the photoluminescent phosphor. Exposure of the photoluminescent phosphor to the laser light results in emission of visible light within a second wavelength range according to a laser-pumped emission spectrum associated with the photoluminescent phosphor.

  • Patent number: 12041738
    Abstract: A foldable display may have a display cover layer and a flexible display panel. The foldable display may bend around a bend axis. The display panel may have an array of pixels configured to display an image through the display cover layer. The display cover layer may be formed from a layer of glass. A recess may be formed in the layer of glass that extends along the bend axis. The recess may form a flexible locally thinned portion in the layer of glass that allows the glass layer to bend about the bend axis. To ensure that the display cover layer exhibits satisfactory impact resistance during drop events, corner portions of the display cover layer and other edge portions of the display cover layer may be provided with greater thickness relative to other portions of the display cover layer outside of the locally thinned portion.

  • Patent number: 12041309
    Abstract: In some implementations, a first device can record a display screen of a second device remotely. For example, the first device (e.g., a remote computing device) can receive information identifying other computing devices on a network. The first device can receive a selection of one of the other computing devices (e.g., the second device) and send a message to the second device to initiate a recording of the display screen of the second device. In response to receiving the message, the second device can record video frames of images presented on the display of the second device. The second device can send the video frames to the first device for display and/or storage. While recording the images presented on the display screen, the second device can present indicia on the display screen of the second device indicating that a screen recording is in progress.
