Each one of the templates has multiple preset skeleton checking points and multiple movement threshold values respectively corresponding to the multiple preset skeleton checking points. The at least one first electronic device records an image of a first user to generate a skeleton streaming data. In a live broadcast, the at least one first electronic device determines whether the skeleton streaming data is abnormal according to the multiple templates. When abnormal, the at least one first electronic device outputs an abnormality notification. The second electronic device receives the abnormality notification in the live broadcast and displays the abnormality notification and a corresponding message.

  • Publication number: 20230117078
    Abstract: Techniques pertaining to low-power enhanced multi-link single radio (EMLSR) listen in wireless communications are described. A first multi-link device (MLD) reduces power consumption while supporting a latency-sensitive application by performing certain operations. The first MLD first listens at a lower power in a narrower bandwidth to receive an initial physical-layer protocol data unit (PPDU) from a second MLD as part of a frame exchange. In response to receiving the initial PPDU, the first MLD switches from the narrower bandwidth to a wider bandwidth to complete the frame exchange with the second MLD in the wider bandwidth. In reducing the power consumption, the first MLD reduces its power consumption to the lower power when operating in the narrower bandwidth compared to a higher power used by the first MLD when operating in the wider bandwidth.
