Abstract: An arrangement for prolonging voice service in an active state by forcing a double user equipment context situation. This is achieved by delaying the user equipment context release message from the source cell to the core network. When the user equipment context release message is delayed the connection with a target cell can be established before the voice service is dropped and the user does not need to redial.

Abstract: Techniques for interacting with a first computing device based on gaze information are described. In an example, the first computing device captures a gaze direction of a first user of the first computing device by using an eye tracking device. The first computing device determines if the gaze direction of the first user is directed to a first display. Further, the first computing device receives information regarding if a gaze direction of a second user is directed to a second display. If the gaze direction of the first user is directed to the first display and the gaze direction of the second user is directed to the second display, the first computing device continuously updates content on the first display. If the gaze direction of the second user is not directed to the second display, the first computing device pauses the content on the first display.
