  • Patent number: 11405829
    Abstract: A communication measure is provided that causes a PDU session established in a 5GS to return to an original state of the PDU session in a case that the PDU session is moved (handed over) to an EPS and then moved (handed over) to the 5GS again. In addition, according to the present invention, a communication measure is provided that causes a PDN connection established in the EPS to return to the PDN connection in an original state after the PDN connection established in the EPS is moved (handed over) to the 5GS and then again moved (handed over) to the EP. In addition, according to the present invention, a communication measure is provided that allows smooth mobility of the UE in an idle mode between the 5GS and the EPS.

  • Patent number: 11405819
    Abstract: In a case that a network (NW) applies a plurality of congestion controls, various kinds of congestion control identification information along with a back-off timer (Session Management (SM) timer) are notified such that a terminal apparatus (UE) can apply a congestion control expected by the NW. Alternatively, in a case that the UE receives an NW-initiated SM request with the back-off timer activated, the UE is allowed to identify an SM timer intended by the NW-initiated SM request. Alternatively, in a case that the UE receives the NW-initiated SM request with the back-off timer activated, the UE is allowed to modify the association of the activated back-off timer and the congestion control to be applied. Thus, a communication control method for the terminal to apply the congestion control expected by the NW in the congestion controls applied by the NW in 5G congestion control that applies a plurality of congestion controls is provided.

  • Patent number: 11405517
    Abstract: In an image reading device including a document platen, a document holder, multiple light sources, and a close contact type image sensor, the light sources are sequentially turned on and the image sensor individually reads light of multiple different colors reflected from a document in a main scanning direction. When the document holder is opened, in an area determination process, a first scanning area where a difference between output values of the image sensor when the light sources are sequentially turned on is within a predetermined threshold value range, and a second scanning area where the difference is outside the predetermined threshold value range are determined in an entire scanning area of the image sensor. A document size in the main scanning direction is detected based on a position of a boundary in the main scanning direction between the first and second scanning areas determined in the area determination process.

  • Patent number: 11404527
    Abstract: Provided is a method for manufacturing a display device that allows easy and reliable repair of a pixel circuit by converting the pixel circuit into a black dot, and a display device. A repair wiring line configured to supply an off potential for turning a drive transistor to an off state is formed superimposed onto an impurity region of a semiconductor layer, interposed between a first compensation transistor and a second compensation transistor having a dual gate structure. The impurity region is irradiated with laser light, thereby connecting the impurity region and the repair wiring line. Then, the second compensation transistor is turned to an on state, thereby setting a potential of a node to the same potential as the off potential and turning the drive transistor to a normally-off state. As a result, a pixel circuit is converted into a black dot and thus repaired.
