Abstract: The subject disclosure provides systems and methods for companion device authentication. A user of a first device may not have access to a service that can be provided by the first device. The service may be a streaming service, a cloud-based service, or the like. Companion device authentication can allow the user, or another user, to authorize access to the service at the first device, using a companion device to the first device. The first device and the companion device may exchange communications to nominate the companion device prior to notifying a user of the companion device of a companion device authentication request for the first device.

Abstract: Devices, methods, and non-transitory program storage devices (NPSDs) are disclosed herein to provide for the privacy-respectful learning of iconic scenes and places, wherein the learning is based on information received from one or more client devices in response to one or more collection criteria specified as part of one or more collection operations launched by a server device. In some embodiments, differential privacy techniques (such as the submission of predetermined amounts of noise-injecting, e.g., randomly-generated, data in conjunction with actual data) are employed by the client devices, such that any insights learned by the server device only relate to “hot spots,” “themes,” or other scenes, objects, and/or topics that are highly popular and captured in the digital assets (DAs) of many users, ensuring there is no way for the server device to learn or glean any insights related to particular users of individual client devices participating in the collection operations.

Abstract: An approach is described for a base station to generate a first message and a second message. The base station transmits the first message and the second message to a user equipment (UE). The first message is associated with a cell supported by the base station and includes a first public land mobile network (PLMN) identity index and a first list of one or more network slices supported by a first PLMN associated with the first PLMN identity index. The second message is associated with one or more neighboring cells, and includes the first PLMN identity index and a second list of one or more network slice data associated the first PLMN as supported by the one or more neighboring cells. In addition, at least one of the one or more network slice data in the second list includes a sub-list of one or more neighboring cell data.

Abstract: Systems and methods of increasing paging opportunities when the unlicensed band is used are described. The gNB sends an RRC message that indicates multiple monitoring occasions in a paging occasion of a paging frame. The UE monitors a monitoring occasion of a PO to determine whether a PDCCH with a P-RNTI has been received in an unlicensed band. If such a PDCCH is received, the UE decodes PDSCH information in the PDCCH to determine whether the P-RNTI is a P-RNTI of the UE. If so, the UE avoids monitoring subsequent monitoring occasions of the PO. If the PDCCH does not contain a P-RNTI, the UE continues to monitor other monitoring occasions within the PO.

Abstract: Various implementations disclosed herein include devices, systems, and methods that present a view of a device user's face portion, that would otherwise be blocked by an electronic device positioned in front of the face, on an outward-facing display of the user's device. The view of the user's face portion may be configured to enable observers to see the user's eyes and facial expressions as if they were seeing through a clear device at the user's actual eyes and facial expressions. Various techniques are used to provide views of the user's face that are realistic, that show the user's current facial appearance, and/or that present the face portion with 3D spatial accuracy, e.g., each eye appearing to be in its actual 3D position. Some implementations combine live data with previously-obtained data, e.g., combining live data with enrollment data.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for uploading, by a verified party, verified-party content to a media platform, receiving requests by a client device for store content, and displaying the uploaded verified-party content along with store content on the client device.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) device may communicate according to a new device category satisfying specified QoS (quality of service) requirements while also satisfying specified link budget requirements, and/or additional optimization requirements. The UE device may communicate with a cellular base station according to a first mode of operation associated with the new device category, and may switch to communicating with the cellular base station according to a second mode of operation associated with a second (pre-existing) device category in response to the link budget requirements exceeding a specified value and the quality of service requirements not being sensitive.

Abstract: An integrated circuit can include frequency monitoring circuitry. The frequency monitoring circuitry may include a voltage based frequency monitoring circuit for monitoring an input clock signal having an input clock frequency within a first set of frequencies and a coarse frequency monitoring circuit for monitoring an input clock signal having an input clock frequency within a second set of frequencies different than the first set of frequencies. The voltage based frequency monitoring circuit can be configured to generate an output voltage having a first value when the input clock frequency is greater than a reference frequency and having a second value when the input clock frequency is less than the reference frequency. The coarse frequency monitoring circuit can include a reference counter and an input clock counter that generates a count value used to compute the input clock frequency.

Abstract: The functions of user equipment (UE), radio access network (RAN) devices, and core network (CN) devices in circumstances where a UE is expected to experience discontinuous coverage are described herein. A UE may send a CN a non-access stratum (NAS) message including a release request indicating that a UE is leaving coverage and assistance information. The CN may interrupt paging of the UE and resume the paging according to the assistance information. A UE may enter a low power usage mode upon leaving coverage, and may use one or more timers to determine when to check for coverage and send a mobility update message corresponding to the low power usage mode. A base station may receive, from a UE, a radio resource control (RRC) message comprising a release request and assistance information, send an RRC release message to the UE in response, and forward the assistance information to the CN.

Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to selecting and opening applications. An electronic device includes a display and a rotatable input mechanism rotatable around a rotation axis substantially perpendicular to a normal axis that is normal to a face of the display. The device detects a user input, and in response to detecting the user input, displays a first subset of application views of a set of application views. The first subset of application views is displayed along a first dimension of the display substantially perpendicular to both the rotation axis and the normal axis. The device detects a rotation of the rotatable input mechanism, and in response to detecting the rotation, displays a second subset of application views of the set of application views. Displaying the second subset of application views includes moving the set of application views on the display along the first dimension of the display.

Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein relate to improving an available bandwidth for a transceiver of an electronic device and to reducing a footprint of an associated integrated circuit of the electronic device. To do so, an isolation circuit is disposed between a transmit circuit and a receive circuit. The isolation circuit has first and second signal paths. A first portion of the signal propagates along the first signal path and a second portion of the signal propagates along the second signal path. A non-reciprocal phase shifter is disposed on the first signal path to shift a phase of the first portion to match a phase of the second portion and improve isolation between the transmit circuit and the receive circuit. The phase-shifted first portion may be combined with the second portion to reduce or substantially eliminate an insertion loss caused by the isolation circuit.

Abstract: Various implementations disclosed herein include devices, systems, and methods that determine a transform relating poses of two mobile electronic devices using range date from a ultra-wideband (UWB) sensor and movement data from captured images. In some implementations, a distance is determined between a first mobile device and a second mobile device based on a UWB signal transmitted between the first mobile device and the second mobile device. In some implementations, first movement data corresponding to movement of the first mobile device and second movement data corresponding to movement of the second mobile device are received. The first movement data based on a camera or a sensor on the first mobile device. The second movement data is based on a camera or a sensor on the second mobile device. Then, a transform is determined that relates a pose of the first mobile device to a pose of the second mobile device based on the distance, the first movement data, and the second movement data.

Abstract: To reduce image artifacts and non-uniformity associated with a display pixel of an electronic display, processing circuity may adjust a luminance value corresponding to a display pixel according to a per-pixel gain mask, a per-pixel anode mask, or both. To further correct for the non-uniformity, the processing circuitry may convert the luminance value to a digital code based on a curve associated with an anode on which the display pixel is located.
