Abstract: Techniques for managing pending data transactions are described and are implementable to enable errant data transactions (e.g., payment transactions) to be detected and resolved. For instance, when a first data transaction is unresolved and remains pending for an excessive period, a second data transaction can be initiated and resolved successfully. The pending first data transaction may subsequently resolve successfully, and thus a result of the successful first data transaction can be reversed to avoid duplicate data transactions.

Abstract: Generally, a computing device displays, on a display device of the computing device, a barcode to be read by a scanning device. When a barcode is displayed on the display device a determination is made as to whether the barcode is not fully displayed on the display device due to hardware of the computing device such as a punch hole in the display device for a camera, speaker, or microphone. If the barcode is not fully displayed due to the hardware of the computing device, the display of the barcode is modified so that the barcode is fully displayed on the display device despite the hardware of the computing device. Additionally or alternatively, if the scanning device has not completed the scan within a threshold amount of time, the display of the barcode on the display device is modified, such as by increasing or decreasing the resolution of the barcode.

Abstract: In aspects of personal content managed during extended display screen recording, a screen recording system includes a wireless device that provides digital image content for display on an extended display device, and a screen recording session on the wireless device captures the digital image content and audio data. The wireless device implements a content control module that can determine the screen recording session would capture personal content associated with a user of the wireless device. The content control module can initiate a private screen review mode in which the personal content is displayable on a display screen of the wireless device and is prevented from visual display on the extended display device. The content control module can also generate a shareable screen recording that includes the audio data and the digital image content displayed on the extended display device, without including the personal content.

Abstract: A system includes first electronic device in communication with a second electronic device. The first electronic device has one or more motion detectors determining an orientation of the first electronic device in three-dimensional space and a first communication device communicating an indication of the orientation of the first electronic device to the second electronic device. The second electronic device has at least a first audio output and a second audio output delivering audio signals to an environment of the second electronic device. A second communication device receives the indication of the orientation of the first electronic device in the three-dimensional space. One or more processors cause at least one of the first audio output and/or the second audio output to alter the audio signals when the orientation of the first electronic device in the three-dimensional space changes.

Abstract: An electronic device includes a device housing and a blade assembly carrying a flexible display and configured to translate around the device housing between an extended position, a retracted position, and a peek position. The electronic device includes one or more processors and a communication device operable with the one or more processors. When the communication device is in communication with a content presentation companion device operating as a primary display for the electronic device, the one or more processors determine a front-facing area amount required to present a controller user interface on a front-facing portion of the flexible display and cause the blade assembly to transition to a position defined by the front-facing area amount.

Abstract: An electronic device includes a device housing supporting a user interface, one or more touch sensors, and at least one image capture device. One or more processors cause, in response to the user interface receiving user input initiating a video capture operation, the at least one image capture device to capture a plurality of video frames. The plurality of video frames are processed with a first video stabilization operation when the electronic device is supported by a multi-handed touch input and a second video stabilization operation when the electronic device is supported by a single-handed touch input. The first video stabilization operation crops less of each image than the second video stabilization operation since the electronic device is likely more stable when supported by the multi-handed touch input.

A plurality of entries that are included in the CSI feedback report are computed, where the entries of the CSI feedback report include at least a set of coefficients. Each coefficient is associated with a set of indices including at least one or more of a spatial domain basis index, a frequency domain basis index, and a layer index. The plurality of entries of the CSI feedback report are arranged in an order known to both the user equipment and the network entity. The plurality of entries of the CSI feedback report are prioritized using indices corresponding to the set of indices, where a subset of the set of indices are permuted based on predefined permutations of the subset of the set of indices.

Abstract: In aspects of device task management in a distributed system, the distributed system includes a task-source device, a compute device, and a task-target device. The compute device receives a task processing request to process a task from the task-source device. The compute device implements a task processing manager that obtains a power availability state for each device in the distributed system of the devices. The task processing manager can also obtain a thermal state for each device in the distributed system of the devices. The task processing manager selects, based on the power availability state and/or the thermal state for each device, the task-target device from the distributed system of the devices. The task processing manager then initiates to provide at least a portion of the task to the task-target device for processing by the task-target device.

Abstract: A computing device includes at least one camera system. When the camera application is running, the scene from the at least one camera system is analyzed to identify one or more barcodes in the scene. In some situations, multiple barcodes encoding payment links are identified in the scene. In such situations, for each of the multiple barcodes encoding payment links, the barcode is displayed along with the payment link encoded in the barcode and a description of the payment link (e.g., a name of the digital wallet corresponding to the payment link). Various additional information to help the user select one of the payment links may also be displayed, such as a current balance in the digital wallet corresponding to the payment link, rewards for using the digital wallet, discounts for using the digital wallet, and so forth.

Abstract: Techniques for fingerprint encoded gesture initiation of device actions are described and are implementable to perform a variety of functionality based on touch-based gestures that are fingerprint encoded. For instance, a mobile device receives an input including a touch-based gesture. The mobile device generates fingerprint identity information based on the touch-based gesture, such as by a fingerprint sensor area that is operable to detect a pattern of a fingerprint in contact with the fingerprint sensor area. Based on the fingerprint identity information, the mobile device determines that the fingerprint identity information is associated with a user of the mobile device. The mobile device then performs an action that corresponds to the touch-based gesture, e.g., based on a shape of the gesture. In one example, the action includes display of a customized user interface associated with a user profile that corresponds to the touch-based gesture.

Abstract: A computing device includes at least one camera system and the scene from the at least one camera system is analyzed to identify one or more barcodes in the scene. In situations where multiple barcodes are identified in the scene, one or more of the multiple barcodes is selected based on a current context of the computing device. The current context can be, for example, an operating system running on the computing device, a configuration of the computing device, an operation context of the computing device, and so forth. One or more actions are taken based on the selected one or more barcodes, such as displaying a preview image with the selected one or more barcodes and one or more URLs encoded in the selected one or more barcodes.

Abstract: A computing device includes multiple camera systems each having one or both of a different field of view or a focus range. For example, the computing device may include a telephoto camera system, a wide angle camera system, an ultra-wide angle camera system, and a macro camera system. When a camera application is running, the scenes from each of the multiple cameras are automatically analyzed to determine whether a barcode (e.g., a 1-dimensional barcode or a 2-dimensional barcode, also referred to as a QR code) is included in one of the scenes. If a barcode is included in the scene from a particular camera system, that camera system is selected and one or more actions are taken (e.g., the barcode is displayed by the computing device, information embedded in the barcode is displayed, and so forth).

Abstract: An electronic device, computer program product, and method are provided that prompt a person who is participating in a video communication session with at least one second electronic device to gaze toward a local image capturing device. A controller of the electronic devices receives an image stream from an image capturing device having a field of view that incorporates a person that is proximate to the display device. The controller communicates the image stream to a video communication session. In response to a trigger that indicates that the first image stream is being presented as a primary image stream by the at least one second electronic device, the controller presents a prompt indicating that the participant should gaze toward the image capturing device.

Abstract: An electronic device includes a first device housing and a second device housing. A hinge couples the first device housing to the second device housing. The first device housing is pivotable about the hinge relative to the second device housing. The hinge separates a first chamber defined by the first device housing and a second chamber defined by the second device housing. A flexible substrate passes through the first chamber and the second chamber. The flexible substrate spans the hinge, either by passing through or around a hinge housing. The flexible substrate deforms to a curvilinear deformed state within one or both of the first chamber or the second chamber when the first device housing and the second device housing pivot about the hinge from a closed position to an axially displaced open position.
