  • Patent number: 12211089
    Abstract: Aspects described herein may allow for auto-locating a user in a parking lot and/or automatically directing a user to recommended inventory. For example, a customer may capture an image of a vehicle, or a marker associated with a vehicle, in a parking lot. The image may be processed locally or at a server. A vehicle may be identified based on analysis of the image. Further, information regarding the user may be processed to determine another vehicle appropriate for a recommendation. For example, a prompt on a mobile device may suggest a popular model similar to the vehicle being viewed. The system may then provide directions (e.g., augmented reality directions) to the user to direct the user to the vehicle.

  • Patent number: 12192744
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to wireless communications, and more particularly, to techniques that may help mitigate service loss for a UE (e.g., in DSDA mode) due to temperature rise. According to certain aspects, a UE detects, while operating in a multi subscriber identity module (SIM) mode with at least a first subscriber (SUB) and a second subscriber (SUB) active on a first radio access technology (RAT), that the UE has reached a first temperature threshold less than a second temperature threshold at which the UE limits service in the first RAT and greater than a third temperature threshold associated with a temperature mitigation level. The UE then takes action to move the first SUB to a second RAT in response to the detecting.
