  • Patent number: 11443191
    Abstract: A parameter synchronization method is implemented in a computing device. The parameter synchronization method includes importing a deep learning training task of a preset model into a server communicatively coupled to the computing device, recording a preset number of iterative processes during the deep learning training, dividing each iterative process into a number of phases according to time, determining whether a time ratio of an H2D phase, a D2H phase, and a CPU phase in each iterative process is greater than a preset value, and confirming the server to use a copy mode for performing parameter synchronization when the time ratio of the H2D, D2H, and CPU phases is determined to be greater than the preset value.

  • Patent number: 11432102
    Abstract: Techniques for providing proximity based messages are discussed herein. Some embodiments may include one or more servers configured to receive proximity message requests from a consumer device. The requests may include consumer device locations, which may be used by the one or more servers to generate a geofence set. Furthermore, the consumer device location may be used as a basis for selecting notification data relevant to the location. Both the geofence set and the notification data may be sent to the consumer device in a single proximity message response for local notification creation if the notification data can be collected within a maximum response time. The notification data may be provided via a push notification server asynchronously if the notification data cannot be collected within the maximum response time.

  • Patent number: 11425558
    Abstract: Privacy centric feature analysis. A secure set of multiple mapped features is selected and provided to a mobile device. Each mapped feature maps a sharable feature to a matching criterion for an item of protected information and no combination of mapped features for a secure set are unique to an individual item of protected information. Privacy compliance instructions enable the mobile device to select a mapped feature from a received set of mapped features by identifying an item of protected information available to the mobile device which corresponds to a matching criterion found in the received set of mapped features. The sharable feature of the selected mapped feature is provided. Advantageously, the analysis system protects the privacy of the mobile device user because it does not require the mobile device to relay protected information for the selection of customized content or relevant advertisements.

  • Patent number: 11411612
    Abstract: In 5G/6G wireless networks, a user device and a base station may transmit and receive messages unidirectionally, using directional antennas, and may thereby provide sufficient reception while saving energy and time. A user device can determine its own location and the location of the base station, calculate an angle toward the base station, and thereby transmit a narrow-beam message to the base station. The message may indicate the user device's location so that the base station can direct its transmission and reception beam toward the user device. The user device and the base station can then transmit and receive messages unidirectionally for improved energy efficiency, improved reception, and reduced interference generation.

  • Patent number: 11356903
    Abstract: This document describes methods and devices for a handover of a user equipment (110) from source base station (a Fifth Generation (5G) New Radio (NR) base station (121)) to a target base station (another 5G NR base station (123) or an Evolved Packet Core (EPC) network base station (122)). The source base station (121), which is in communication with the user equipment (110), determines to handover the user equipment (110) to the target base station (123,122). The source base station (121), then determines whether to use a delta configuration or a full configuration for handing over the user equipment (110). For the full configuration, the source base station (121) either excludes the delta configuration from, or indicates use of the full configuration in, handover preparation information. By so doing, the source base station (121) enables handover of the user equipment (110) to the target base station (123,122).

  • Patent number: 11343638
    Abstract: A system and method of validating the accuracy of geographic location for an address is provided, as described in the embodiments. The system checks whether a given geographical location is the correct physical location for an address or not. An address whose location needs to be verified is parsed and broken down into at least one of nationality, state, city, town, locality, sub-locality, street, landmark, building, floor number, identification number, postal code, zip code or any other address identifying parameter. Similar addresses are searched for in the list of stored addresses and the verification check is done based on locations of the addresses found to be similar. In this way, the system establishes a trust score between the address and the geographic location of an entity.
