Patent number: 11743375Abstract: A portable electronic device with a touch screen display displays an incoming message from a party to a user of the device while the device is locked. The device responds to detecting a user request to view the incoming message by immediately displaying a set of messages between the user and the party in a chronological order. While the device is unlocked, if an incoming message is longer than a predefined length the device displays a portion of the incoming message, a view icon, and a long-message indicia. Alternately, if the incoming message is equal to or less than the predefined length, the device displays the entire incoming message and a reply icon. In response to user selection of either the view icon or the reply icon, the device immediately displays a set of messages between the user of the device and the party in a chronological order.Type: GrantFiled: September 7, 2021Date of Patent: August 29, 2023Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Gregory N.

Patent number: 11743704Abstract: Techniques for handling emergency calls in a fifth generation (5G) telecommunication network are discussed herein. Some 5G-compatible user equipment (UEs) support 5G emergency calls, while other 5G-compatible UEs do not support 5G emergency calls. If a UE supports 5G emergency calls, the 5G telecommunication network may instruct the UE during network registration to use the 5G telecommunication network for any emergency calls attempted later. However, if a UE does not support 5G emergency calls, the 5G telecommunication network may instruct the UE during network registration to instead use Long-Term Evolution (LTE) emergency fallback procedures for emergency calls. Such LTE emergency fallback procedures can cause the 5G telecommunication network to steer the UE to LTE for an emergency call almost immediately after receiving a service request from the UE, even though the 5G telecommunication network itself supports emergency calls.Type: GrantFiled: February 9, 2021Date of Patent: August 29, 2023Assignee: T-Mobile USA, Inc.Inventors: Suresh Thanneeru, Christopher H. Joul, Boris Antsev, William Michael Hooker

Patent number: 11736922Abstract: A UE in cellular communication system may be equipped with multiple User Services Identity Modules (USIMs) to support multiple service subscriptions. The UE having multiple service subscriptions may obtain services from one or more wireless networks with each of the subscriptions. When the UE having multiple service subscriptions needs to make an emergency call, the UE may identify and determine a service subscription to make the emergency call, so that the emergency call can be successfully made. The UE may be implemented with a communication processor (modem) and an application processor (AP). Some information that is useful to identify a service subscription more suitable for the emergency call may be available only at the communication processor. Enhanced techniques for identifying and determining a service subscription to make the emergency call from the multiple service subscriptions through interaction between the communication processor and the application processor are disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: July 21, 2020Date of Patent: August 22, 2023Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Xinning Shen, Flora Pui San Chan, Qin Xue Frantti, Osama Lotfallah

Patent number: 11729587Abstract: A system of a wireless telecommunications network performs a process initiated in response to an indication of a chargeable event (e.g., a registration procedure). The system obtains a current location of the wireless device, determines that the current location is different from a home location, and queries a database of a home charging function (CHF) for charging information of a subscriber associated with the wireless device. The system then dynamically stores the charging information at a database of a local CHF thereby eliminating the need to check with the home CHF when responding to every subsequent chargeable event, which reduces the service latency otherwise experienced by the wireless device.Type: GrantFiled: March 22, 2021Date of Patent: August 15, 2023Assignee: T-Mobile USA, Inc.Inventor: Robert Engelhart

Patent number: 11729588Abstract: A method performed by a charging system includes receiving a message related to delivery of a service to an end user device. The charging system searches a local storage system to find a session identifier associated with the message. In response to determining that the session identifier is not at the local storage system, a backend storage system is queried for subscriber account data associated with the session identifier. As a result, despite the absence of the session identifier and associated subscriber account data at the local storage system, the charging system can grant service units for the end user device based on the subscriber account data retrieved from the backend storage system.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2021Date of Patent: August 15, 2023Assignee: T-Mobile USA, Inc.Inventor: Robert Engelhart
