Abstract: A device may be configured to alert a user while the user is listening to audio over headphones. For example, the device may be configured to alert the user of the device, such as by reducing the volume of an audio signal output through the headphones and/or by providing a visual alert to the user on a display of the device. The device may compare a volume level of an outputted audio signal to a threshold. The device may activate a microphone based on the comparison of the volume level to the threshold. When the microphone is activated, the device may provide an alert to a user based on a determination that a received audio signal includes a portion that corresponds to a predetermined value.

Abstract: A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for biometric identification are provided. The apparatus may be a user device.

The apparatus may compare the detected biometric information with stored biometric information associated with a stored user profile of a plurality of user profiles. The apparatus may then determine whether to display the stored user profile based on the comparison after the predetermined period of time has elapsed.

Abstract: A method, device, and system provide efficient way for handling LTE cells for suspending data suspending data in a carrier aggregation plus multiSIM scenario. The technique includes receiving communications corresponding to the first subscription at a user equipment over a primary cell and a secondary cell; calculating, prior to a tune away period, a first data throughput rate of the primary cell and a second data throughput rate of a secondary cell; sending at least one event measurement report if the second data throughput rate is higher than the first data throughput rate; receiving a handover command from a network node to interchange the primary cell and the secondary cell; and switching, in response to receiving the handover command, the primary cell and the secondary cell such that the primary cell becomes the secondary cell and the secondary cell becomes the primary cell for first subscription traffic.

Abstract: A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided. The apparatus may be a UE which uses a first antenna and a second antenna for communication with a first RAT. The apparatus determines that the second antenna is to be used for a procedure associated with a second RAT at a first time. The apparatus reduces a UE RI from an initial value to a reduced value for the communication with the first RAT at the first time based on the determination.

Abstract: Embodiments include devices and methods for remotely controlling access to a first computing device. A processor of the first computing device may receive an access request input, and may capture authentication information from the user in response to the access request input. The processor of the first computing device may send an access request comprising the authentication information of the user to a second computing device. The first computing device may unlock one or more functions of the first computing device based on the received authorization message.

Abstract: A method for performing a dedicated data subscription (DDS) switch on a multi subscriber identity module multi-active (MSMA) mobile communication device includes: initiating a DDS switch from a first subscription to a second subscription; determining whether a first communication network associated with the first subscription supports user equipment (UE) capability update via a tracking area update (TAU) procedure; in response to determining that the first communication network supports UE capability update via a TAU procedure, initiating a TAU procedure on the first subscription with the first communication network; and reporting a UE category 1 capability to the first communication network on the first subscription for the mobile communication device during the TAU procedure on the first subscription.

Abstract: A method for dynamically switching a data subscription in a multi subscriber identity module (SIM) multi standby (MSMS) mobile communication device includes: in response to determining that signal energy for a first subscription detected during a background public land mobile network (BPLMN) search remains greater than or equal to a threshold signal energy value during a first specified time period of a first timer, reducing a second specified time period of a second timer for a second subscription; determining whether any data communication activity occurs on the second subscription during the second specified time period; in response to determining that no data communication activity occurs on the second subscription during the second specified time period, performing a dedicated data subscription (DDS) switch from a second subscription to the first subscription.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices are described for detecting a communications network or assisting in the detection of a communications network. In a method for detecting a communications network, a beacon received from a device over a wireless local area network (WLAN) may be decoded to identify an information element (IE) in the beacon. The IE may indicate an availability of another network. When the IE is empty, a sleep mode may be entered (e.g., by a user equipment (UE)). In a method for assisting a detection of a communications network, a database including information indicating an availability of at least a first network may be accessed, and a beacon may be broadcast over a WLAN. The beacon may include an IE that indicates the availability of at least the first network.
