Abstract: Methods, apparatuses, and non-transitory machine-readable media for displaying information and/or images on a display of a computing device based on received data. Apparatuses can include a display screen, a memory resource, a recognition sensor, and a controller. An example controller can receive data and activate information and/or images on a display screen based in part on the received data. In another example, a method can include storing recognition data in a memory resource, receiving primary recognition data, comparing the primary recognition data to the stored recognition data, and activating the display screen for a viewing angle responsive to authentication of the primary recognition data through the comparison of the primary recognition data and the stored recognition data.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for a mobile device (e.g., a mobile phone) supporting virtual peripherals are described. The mobile device may include a projecting component configured to project images to external surfaces outside of the mobile device. In some cases, the mobile device may project an image of a document on a first external surface and an image of a keyboard on a second external surface. Moreover, the mobile device may include an imaging component to receive inputs based on sensing an input device overlaid on the projected image (e.g., the keyboard). Accordingly, the mobile device may function as a computer with an external monitor and a keyboard, virtually added to the mobile device. In some cases, the mobile device may serve two or more users or purposes at a time. For example, the mobile device may operate as an infotainment device of a vehicle.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for managing spoofed calls to a mobile device are described, in which the mobile device receives a call transmitted over a cellular or mobile network. The call may include a set of information associated with the network, such as a geological location of a device that generated the call, a hardware device identifier corresponding to the device, an internet protocol (IP) address associated with the device, or a combination thereof. The mobile device may determine whether the call is spoofed or genuine based on the set of information. Subsequently, the mobile device may assist a user of the mobile device to manage the call, such as blocking the call from reaching the user, informing the user that the call is spoofed, facilitating the user to report the call as spoofed to an authority and/or a service provider of the network.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure include apparatuses and methods for sensor blocking. In a number of embodiments, a method can include operating a sensor block of an apparatus in a first mode to allow a sensor to receive inputs, and operating the sensor block in a second mode to inhibit the sensor from receiving the inputs. A sensor block can be used to prevent a sensor, such as an image sensor, from receiving an input, such as a light source input, to capture image data. A sensor block can be used to prevent a sensor from capturing image data even when an application causing to the sensor to operate, such as when applications have access to the sensor, but the user of a device is unaware that an application is using the sensor. The sensor block can be used to prevent the sensor from capturing useful images and the sensor can only capture a black image of the sensor block and not the surroundings of the device.

Abstract: Secure access to a vehicle is described, in which one or more biometric identifiers of a user may be utilized to enable the vehicle. The user may not operate the vehicle without satisfying security measures based on his/her biometric identifier generated from various biological traits. In some embodiments, an artificial engine and/or algorithm may be combined to facilitate the authentication process to determine whether the user is authorized to use the vehicle. The secure access features may also manage a list of biometric identifiers of the authorized users. In some instances, the secure access features may be temporarily disabled. Further, individual parts of the vehicle may be associated with a unique identifier of the vehicle (which may include a vehicle identification number), and/or may be configured to transmit their geological locations determined by a global positioning system (GPS).

Abstract: Embodiments are described for a pattern-based control system that learns and applies device usage patterns for identifying and disabling devices exhibiting abnormal usage patterns. The system can learn a user’s normal usage pattern or can learn abnormal usage patterns, such as a typical usage pattern for a stolen device. This learning can include human or algorithmic identification of particular sets of usage conditions (e.g., locations, changes in settings, personal data access events, application events, IMU data, etc.) or training a machine learning model to identify usage condition combinations or sequences. Constraints (e.g., particular times or locations) can specify circumstances where abnormal pattern matching is enabled or disabled. Upon identifying an abnormal usage pattern, the system can disable the device, e.g., by permanently destroying a physical component, semi-permanently disabling a component, or through a software lock or data encryption.

Abstract: Embodiments for enabling or disabling application features according to application-specific security settings are described. The application-specific security settings can control when particular security levels, corresponding to authentication procedures, are required. The security levels can correspond to authentication procedures such as requiring no password, only requiring a PIN, allowing authentication by biometrics, or requiring a password. The application-specific security settings can control security levels based on a variety of circumstances such as setting particular security levels for particular locations, setting different security levels based on time since last device use, etc. In various implementations, the security levels can be mapped to application features to enable or disable.

Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods related to media type selection are described. Memory systems can include multiple types of memory media (e.g., volatile and/or non-volatile) and can write data to the memory media types. Data inputs can be written (e.g., stored) in a particular type of memory media based on characteristics (e.g., source, attributes, and/or information etc. included in the data). For instance, selection of memory media can be based on characteristics of the memory media type and the attributes of the data input. In an example, a method can include receiving, by a memory system that comprises a plurality of memory media types, data from at least one of a plurality of sensors, identifying one or more attributes of the data; and selecting, based at least in part on the one or more attributes of the data, one or more of the memory media types to write the data to.

Apparatuses can include a display, a memory device, and a controller. In an example, the controller can assign a perceived interest and sort images based in part on the perceived interest. In another example, a method can include the assigning, by a controller coupled to a memory device, a perceived interest of an image of a plurality of images, wherein the perceived interest is assigned based in part on a period of time the image is visible on a display coupled to the memory device, selecting the image from an initial viewing location responsive to the assigned perceived interest; and transferring the image to a different viewing location, wherein the initial viewing location and the different viewing location are visible on the display.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses related to access to data stored in quarantined memory media are described. Memory systems can include multiple types of memory media (e.g., volatile and/or non-volatile) and data (e.g., information included in) stored in the memory media often are subject to risks of the data being undesirably exposed to the public. For example, requests to write data in the memory media can often be made and accepted without a user's awareness, which can lead to the undesirable exposure of the data. According to embodiments of the present disclosure, a particular portion and/or location in the memory media can provide a data protection scheme such that data stored in the particular location can be refrained from being transferred out of the computing system.

In some embodiments, the mobile device may sort individual applications of the set based on quantities and/or lengths of activations to identify such applications. The mobile device may enlarge the icons by a predetermined factor before displaying them on the screen.
