  • Patent number: 9544239
    Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for network congestion management. The methods and systems receive a first packet complying with a first network protocol comprising a first congestion indicator representative of a presence or absence of network congestion and further comprising a first set of data associated with a second network protocol, and provide an indication of the presence or absence of network congestion generated based, at least in part, on the first congestion indicator. The methods and systems also receive a first packet complying with a first network protocol comprising a first set of data associated with a second network protocol, and output a second packet complying with the first network protocol comprising a first congestion indicator representative of a presence of network congestion.

  • Patent number: 9536325
    Abstract: A device that provides a map and/or navigation application that displays items on the map and/or navigation instructions differently in different modes. The applications of some embodiments provide a day mode and a night mode. In some embodiments the application uses the day mode as a default and activates the night mode when the time is after sunset at the location of the device. Some embodiments activate night mode when multiple conditions are satisfied (for example, when (1) the time is after sunset at the location of the device and (2) the ambient light level is below a threshold brightness).

  • Patent number: 9537908
    Abstract: Some examples include transitioning between an individual mode and a collaborative mode in response to an orientation change of a device. Further, some implementations include identifying data to be shared with one or more other devices (e.g., co-located devices) in the collaborative mode. In some examples, the individual mode may be associated with an individual search, the collaborative mode may be associated with a collaborative search, and the devices may transition between the individual mode and the collaborative mode in response to orientation changes.

  • Patent number: 9454289
    Abstract: A video playlist associated with a set of videos is distinguished in a graphical user interface using a dynamic thumbnail to represent the playlist. The dynamic thumbnail comprises a static portion comprising a first image associated with the set of videos and a dynamic portion comprising one or more second images associated with the set of videos. An image provided in the dynamic portion is configured to change while the first image remains the same in response to a shift in the graphical user interface that results in a change in position of the thumbnail about the user graphical user interface.

  • Patent number: 9451596
    Abstract: A method for transmitting uplink control information in a carrier aggregation environment, the method includes: calculating n pieces of response data, each having 1 bit or 2 bits, for n subframes received from an enhanced Node B (eNB) through n downlink component carriers and decoded by a User Equipment (UE); calculating k bits of integrated response data by applying a mapping rule reflecting a weight given to a downlink component carrier of each of the n pieces of response data; and performing a block coding of the integrated response data to produce encoded integrated response data, and transmitting the encoded integrated response data to the eNB.
