Abstract: One or more guest electronic devices establish electronic communication with a host electronic device. The guest electronic devices transmit requests requesting presentation of media content from an application operating locally on each guest electronic device. The host electronic device arranges the requests in a queue. One or more processors of the host electronic device select a principal request from the queue and initiate the application operating locally on a guest electronic device identified by the principal request, thereby causing delivery of the media content from the guest electronic device identified by the principal request to the host electronic device.

Abstract: An electronic device, a method and a computer program product enable capturing of an image by a first camera in response to detecting a gesture by a second camera. The method includes, in response to activating a first camera having a first field of view (FOV) to an image capturing mode, activating the second camera to capture an image stream within a second FOV that is wider than the first FOV. The method further includes monitoring the image stream to detect movements and identifying a gesture among movements detected within the image stream. The method further includes determining that the gesture is associated with triggering the first camera to capture images within the first FOV and in response to determining that the gesture is associated with triggering the first camera to capture images within the first FOV, capturing, via the first camera, a first image within the first FOV.

Abstract: An electronic device, method, and computer program product support automatic sharing of a cross-view by a network device hosting a communication session for first and second communication devices. The first communication device presents first visual content that is selected by a first participant. The second communication device presents second visual content that is selected by a second participant. First semantic inputs by the first participant are communicated to the second communication device for presenting to the second participant. Second semantic inputs by the second participant are communicated to the first communication device for presenting to the first participant. In response to determining that the semantic input(s) are associated with the visual content, the network device communicates a duplicate copy of the first visual content to the second communication device and a duplicate copy of the second visual content to the first communication device, as a cross view to enhance discussion.

Based on sensor data collected by sensors of the mobile device, a user is determined to be holding the mobile device with an ergonomically incorrect grip pattern. In response to the ergonomically incorrect grip pattern of the user being determined, the one or more selectable user interface elements are moved to a region of the user interface that facilitates the user holding the mobile device with an ergonomically correct grip pattern.

Abstract: Techniques are described for providing a hands-off steering wheel detection warning. An example method can include a vehicle computer determining a real-time level of fatigue of a driver of an autonomous vehicle. The vehicle computer can determine an operating parameter associated with an environment in which the autonomous vehicle is traveling. The vehicle computer can generate, using a machine learning model, a predicted driving pattern of a second vehicle traveling in the environment. The vehicle computer can determine a time interval for providing a hands-off steering wheel detection warning based at least in part on the real-time level of fatigue of the driver, the operating parameter, and the predicted driving pattern of the second vehicle. The vehicle computer can identify a final time interval for providing a hands-off steering wheel detection warning. The vehicle computer can output the hands-off steering wheel detection warning after the final time interval has elapsed.

Abstract: A system for generating an expandable pool of virtual agents to provide solutions in a virtual environment comprises a call center server in communication with a metaverse server. The call center server generates the virtual agents with corresponding skills of each real-world agent using a machine learning model based on historical observation operations performed by each particular real-world agent and a historical rule set to address the service issue. The metaverse server identifies the virtual agents in the virtual environment. The call center server routes a service inquiry with a service issue from a user equipment of a user to the metaverse server when determining that a particular real-world agent is not available. The metaverse server identifies a first virtual agent with a first skill and conducts a first interaction between the first virtual agent and a user avatar to generate the customized solution to address the service issue.

Abstract: An electronic device, method, and computer program product provide a predictable external finger area on a “rollable display device” for fingerprint authentication that is available at least in both a fully retracted position and fully extended position. The electronic device selectively operates a translation mechanism to slide a blade assembly relative to a device housing between the fully retracted position and the fully extended position. The blade assembly has a blade slidably coupled to a device housing and having a flexible display attached to the blade. The blade assembly has first and second fingerprint-on-display (FOD) areas that are optically transmissive, enabling light to pass through the blade assembly. While retracted, both fingerprint scanners are aligned FOD areas for use while looking at either the front or back portions of the flexible display. While extended, the front fingerprint scanner is aligned with the second FOD area while viewing the flexible display.
