Abstract: An electronic device includes an external panel material having an exterior visual characteristic that can be dynamically changed by a device-generated trigger. A controller of the device is communicatively coupled to at least one orientation sensor. The controller receives an input corresponding to a first context pre-identified as a condition that triggers a change in the exterior visual characteristic of the material. The controller identifies from sensor input received from the at least one orientation sensor whether the electronic device is in a first orientation that enables the external panel to be visible to a device user. In response to the electronic device being in the first orientation concurrently with receiving the input corresponding to the first context, the controller generates and transmits a change activation signal that changes the exterior visual characteristic of the external panel material from a first visible state to a second visible state.

The user equipment and the base station then communicate using the configured resources on the frequency band.

Abstract: Some embodiments provide a novel method for connecting one or more vehicles to a software defined wide area network (SD-WAN). The method deploys an edge router to operate in the vehicle, and configures the edge router to connect to several wireless network links (e.g., 5G cellular links) operating in the vehicle. In some embodiments, the different wireless network links are different mobile hotspot links provided by different telecommunication network providers (e.g., AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, Orange, etc.). The method configures the edge router to forward several data message flows from a device operating in the vehicle (e.g., a computer located in the vehicle or a machine (e.g., virtual machine, Pod, container, etc.) executing on a computer located in the vehicle) to the SD-WAN using the several telecommunications network links.
