Abstract: Prioritization and selection of signals and associated cells can be managed. User equipment module (UEM) of user equipment (UE) can determine a context associated with a communication session based on analyzing usage behavior information relating to usage behavior, and profile information relating to a profile, associated with the UE. The profile information can be determined by a core module based on information relating to the network or previous communication sessions. Based on analysis results, including context, UEM can determine a characteristic, other than signal strength, that can be more heavily weighted over other characteristics associated with UE or network to facilitate determining which cell, of a cell group, the UE is to connect to for the communication session. UEM can determine and select the cell of the cell group to which the UE is to connect, based on the context and the highest weighted characteristic.

Abstract: Described is intelligent security based on the detection of the presence of mobile devices within a defined region, determined via accurate mobile device location sensing, e.g., within on the order of one meter. Upon detection of the presence of a mobile device within a defined region via mobile device millimeter wave-based position sensing, an identity associated with the mobile device is obtained. If the identity associated with the mobile device is not a trusted identity, action can be taken based on the presence of the identity within the defined region. The intelligent security can be implemented within an application program of a registered user's mobile device and/or a security system, such as a commercially available security system with alarm monitoring services. Various criteria can determine the action(s) to take, including by which region (if more than one), time of day, identity trust level, duration of presence, and the like.

Abstract: The disclosed technology is directed towards virtual reality bookmarks that maintain state data for a user in a virtual reality environment, such that the user can to return to that virtual reality environment at a later time. While presenting virtual reality session content to a user, a system or the like can receive a request to pause the virtual reality session from a user. Session state data, e.g., in the form of a virtual reality bookmark, is saved based on the pause request. A later request to resume presentation of the virtual reality content results in the system accessing the virtual reality session data, which is used to present resumed virtual reality session content to the user based on the session state data. A pause request may be for an individual user or for each user participating in a session. Virtual reality bookmarks may be shared with other users.
