Patent number: 11251884Abstract: Techniques for process based antenna configuration are described, and may be implemented via a wireless device to identify different usage scenarios and to adapt antenna configurations to optimize wireless performance based on the scenarios. For instance, the described techniques enable a wireless device to be calibrated for wireless communication by identifying different obstruction states of a wireless device that correspond to ways that the wireless device is held (e.g., grasped) by a user in different scenarios. The obstruction states are then correlated to antenna positions in the wireless device to prioritize (e.g., activate) antennas that are relatively unobstructed, such as by activating unobstructed antennas and/or deactivating obstructed antennas. Further, calibration can take into specific processes (e.g., applications) and specific users to calibrate an optimize wireless performance based on ways in which a user typically interacts with a process.Type: GrantFiled: January 28, 2021Date of Patent: February 15, 2022Assignee: Motorola Mobility LLCInventors: Daniel C.

Patent number: 11246072Abstract: Apparatuses, methods, and systems are disclosed for switching a communication mode of a remote UE. One apparatus includes a processor (405) and a radio transceiver (425) that communicates with a relay unit (120). Here, the processor (405) decides to handover the relay unit (120) and determines a group of one or more remote units (105) associated with the relay unit (120), wherein the relay unit (120) is a relay for the group. The processor (405) selects a target base unit (110) of a mobile communication network based on the relay unit (120) and the group of one or more remote units (105) and determines a first subgroup of remote units (105) from among the group of one or more remote units (105) that cannot be supported by the target base unit (110). The processor (405) also sends, to a remote unit (105) in the first subgroup of remote units (105), a command to resume communication with the mobile communication network without using the relay unit (120).Type: GrantFiled: June 6, 2017Date of Patent: February 8, 2022Assignee: Motorola Mobility LLCInventors: Dimitrios Karampatsis, Apostolis Salkintzis

Publication number: 20220035897Abstract: A device includes two cameras, a front facing camera and a back facing camera. In response to a request to use one camera (e.g., the back facing camera) with particular functionality of an application, the application queries a system to verify whether the user is authenticated and authorized to use the camera with the particular functionality of the application. This authentication and authorization is performed based on an image of the user captured using another camera of the device (e.g., the front facing camera). Depending on whether the user is authenticated and authorized to use the camera with the particular functionality of the application, the particular functionality is performed using the camera, secondary (e.g., lesser) functionality is performed using the camera, or no functionality is performed using the camera.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 28, 2020Publication date: February 3, 2022Applicant: Motorola Mobility LLCInventors: Amit Kumar Agrawal, Soumya Ranjan Mund, Himanshu Chug

Publication number: 20220035412Abstract: In aspects of adaptive grip suppression, a wireless device has a display screen with curved display edges to display a selectable element in a region of a curved display edge. The wireless device implements an adaptive control module to adaptively tune grip suppression in the curved display edges of the display screen, which limits a device application action from being initiated based on inadvertent touch inputs on the selectable element. The adaptive control module can adaptively tune the grip suppression by decreasing the grip suppression in the region of the curved display edge proximate the selectable element responsive to false rejects indicating that the device application action is not initiating responsive to intended touch inputs, or by increasing the grip suppression in the region of the curved display edge proximate the selectable element responsive to false accepts indicating that the device application action is initiating responsive to inadvertent touch inputs.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 30, 2020Publication date: February 3, 2022Applicant: Motorola Mobility LLCInventors: Amit Kumar Agrawal, Olivier David Meirhaeghe, Fred Allison Bower, III
