  • Patent number: 12114158
    Abstract: Aspects described herein may allow for determining network membership to facilitate detecting fraudulent messages. A computing device may receive, from one or more terminals at a first location, a plurality of interactive messages during a pre-determined time period. Each interactive message may comprise personally identifiable information of a user. The computing device may store a first record and a second record that indicate interactive messages were received from a group of users in temporal proximity to each other at the first location and the second location respectively. The computing device may send a request to confirm users in the subset are members of a network and update a membership list based on a reply received from the user. If further messages are received from devices outside the membership list, an alert may be sent to alert the possibility of a fraudulent message.

  • Patent number: 12095941
    Abstract: A message notification method and an electronic device are provided. When a primary screen is turned off, prompt information of a notification message is displayed on a secondary screen located right above a front-facing camera, so that a user can notice a message notification in time, and user experience is improved. A specific solution is as follows: After the primary screen is turned off, if the electronic device detects a first notification message, the electronic device displays first information on the secondary screen. The first information is used to prompt the user that the first notification message has been received. The electronic device detects a first operation in which the user indicates to turn on the primary screen. The electronic device turns on the primary screen in response to the first operation. The electronic device displays second information on the secondary screen.

  • Patent number: 12063561
    Abstract: An enhanced automatic neighbor relation (“ANR”) function can estimate a plurality of terrestrial cells within a coverage area of an aerial cell. The enhanced ANR function can monitor an exchange of a serving cell unique identifier sent to a target cell and a target cell unique identifier sent to a serving cell. The enhanced ANR function can determine a serving cell type and a target cell type, wherein the serving cell type and the target cell type identify the serving cell and the target cell, respectively, as either a terrestrial cell type or an aerial cell type. The enhanced ANR function can then determine whether a serving cell neighbor relation table (“NRT”) associated with the serving cell, a target cell NRT associated with the target cell, or both would be compromised if a corresponding NR is added into the serving cell NRT and the target cell NRT.
