Abstract: Disclosed herein is a mobile terminal capable of indicating the position of a force sensor arranged inside a side case using the shape of a non-conductive mold disposed between conductive members to sense pressure. For the mobile terminal, a user input unit and an antenna may be arranged to overlap each other, and a bump and a recess may be formed using a non-conductive mold that is easy to process. Accordingly, uniformity of appearance may be maintained without forming a bump and a recess on the conductive member.

Abstract: Provisioning a requesting device is provided using extended identity attestation for the requesting device. A provisioning request is received at a device provisioning system. The provisioning request includes a registration identifier provided by the requesting device. A plurality of extended attestation components is accessed in an enrollment datastore of the device provisioning system. Each extended attestation component identifies an external computing system. One of the extended attestation components in the enrollment datastore is selected based on the received registration identifier. Execution of the device attestation is initiated at the external computing system identified by the selected extended attestation component to yield an attestation result. Satisfaction of a validity condition by the attestation result is detected. The requesting device is provisioned from the device provisioning system, responsive to detection that the attestation result satisfies the validity condition.

Abstract: Embodiments herein disclose formats for MCData messages and notifications, and methods for coding (encoding and decoding) MCData messages and notifications in a MCData communication system. The method includes generating, by a first UE, an encoded MCData message or notification comprising of signaling payload and data payload content related to one or more MCData user payloads. Further the method includes deriving, by a second UE, the actual MCData messages or notifications by decoding the received encoded MCData messages or notifications. The formats for MCData messages and MCData notifications optimize control headers and allow maximum user data size that can be carried in a single message over signalling, which aids in sending multiple user payloads in a single message.

Abstract: Apparatus and method for detecting hidden encoding of text strings, such as Internet web-domain addresses or email addresses, using optical character recognition (OCR) techniques. In some embodiments, a first set of digital data having a first string of text character codes are converted into an image. Optical character recognition (OCR) is applied to the image to generate a second set of digital data having a second string of text character codes based on detection of the image. The first string of text character codes are compared to the second string of text character codes to detect the presence or absence of hidden codes in the first set of digital data. In some cases, a smoothing function such as Gaussian blurring is applied to degrade the image prior to the application of OCR.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention generate metrics quantifying the mobility of a mobile device without persisting information related to the device's specific location at any given time. Specifically, at multiple intervals, a value of a mobility metric is computed based on the distance between the current location of the mobile device and a previously identified origin location of the mobile device. The values of the mobility metric computed over a period of time quantify the overall mobility of the mobile device. The mobility metric does not provide any information regarding the specific location of the mobile device at any given time.

Abstract: A wireless cellular base station (BS) transmitter transmits a downlink calibration pilot symbol. A receiver receives from a user equipment (UE) an uplink calibration pilot symbol and an effective downlink channel estimate transmitted by the UE. The effective downlink channel estimate is computed by the UE using the downlink calibration pilot symbol received from the BS. Processing devices compute an effective uplink channel estimate using the uplink calibration pilot symbol received from the UE and compute channel reciprocity calibration coefficients using the effective downlink channel estimate received from the UE and the effective uplink channel estimate computed by the BS. The BS includes multiple antennas, and the BS computes the channel reciprocity calibration coefficients for each antenna. Alternatively, the uplink channel estimate received by the BS is an inverted version of the effective downlink channel estimate, which the processing devices use for channel reciprocity compensation.
