  • Patent number: 11368847
    Abstract: A networking behavior detector and a networking behavior detection method thereof for an indoor space are provided. The networking behavior detector receives a plurality of radio frequency (RF) signals in the indoor space and converts the RF signals to a plurality of digital signals. Next, the networking behavior detector calculates an energy value of each digital signal and filters out the digital signal, the energy value of which is smaller than a threshold, of the digital signals to generate an analysis signal. Finally, the networking behavior detector retrieves a plurality of energy feature values of each analysis signal to generate a feature datum, and analyzes the feature data through an identification model to generate an identification result. The identification result corresponds to one of a plurality of networking behaviors.

  • Patent number: 11368810
    Abstract: Digital content reconfiguration techniques and systems are described that address physical accommodations. In one example, a physical accommodation module identifies a type of digital content being requested and obtains the digital content. The physical accommodation module also obtains ticket data associated with a user that made the request. The ticket data is then processed by the physical accommodation module to determine a physical accommodation. The determined physical accommodation is then used by the physical accommodation module to reconfigure the digital content, and as such, may dynamically address the physical accommodation, e.g., for mobility, visual, auditory accommodations, whether the user is attending the event with minor children, and so forth.

  • Patent number: 11363416
    Abstract: A location-aware electronic device is provided. The electronic device trains feature extraction layers, reconstruction layers, and classification layers. The training may be based on a reconstruction loss and/or a clustering loss. The electronic device processes a fingerprint to obtain an augmented fingerprint using randomization based on statistics of the fingerprint. The feature extraction layers provide feature data to both the reconstruction layers and the classification layers. The classification layers operate on the codes to obtain an estimated location label. An application processor operates on the estimated location label to provide a location-aware application result to a person.

  • Patent number: 11350367
    Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for adjusting a time period to delay entering a power save mode (leak guard) for wireless communications. In one aspect, a wireless communication device may adjust a time period to delay entering a power save mode. The time period is associated with the wireless communication device remaining awake to prevent an access point from transmitting to the wireless communication device while the wireless communication device is in the power save mode. The wireless communication device also may provide, to the AP, an indication that the wireless communication device is entering a power save mode, and the wireless communication device may enter the power save mode. Entering the power save mode is at least the adjusted time period after providing the indication to the AP.

  • Patent number: 11290865
    Abstract: A wireless telecommunication system comprises a base station and a terminal device (UE). The UE is configured to determine its mobility status and an associated reliability, e.g. an indication of the extent to which the UE is moving and the confidence in this determination. In some cases the reliability may be based on how the UE determined its mobility status. For example, if the UE determined itself to be of relatively low mobility because it has an internal configuration setting indicating it is deployed in a fixed position, the reliability of this mobility status may be considered to be greater than if the UE determined itself to be of relatively low mobility because it has not recently undergone many base station handovers. The UE is configured to convey an indication of the mobility status and the reliability to the base station.
