  • Patent number: 12358369
    Abstract: A method for generating a vehicle human machine interface is disclosed. The identities of each of a plurality of occupants in a vehicle are determined. A plurality of interface settings corresponding to the plurality of occupants are obtained according to the identities. A machine learning operation is performed according to the identities of the plurality of occupants and the plurality of interface settings. The vehicle human machine interface is generated according to a result of the machine learning operation.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10582061
    Abstract: For an incoming session intended for a user element, a domain selection function (DSF) is provided in a multimedia subsystem (MS) to select a circuit-switched subsystem (CS) or MS domain to use when routing the incoming session to the user element. Regardless of the domain in which incoming sessions are originated, the incoming sessions intended for the user element are routed to an S-CSCF in the MS. The S-CSCF directly or indirectly employs the DSF to determine whether to use the MS or the CS for terminating the incoming session. Based on available domain selection criteria, the DSF will select an appropriate domain, such as the MS or CS, to use for routing the incoming session to the user element. The domain selection decision of the DSF is provided to the S-SCSF, which will proceed by routing the incoming session to the user element via the selected domain.

  • Patent number: 9350769
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer readable media for session initiation protocol (SIP) device-level call/session/service management are disclosed. According to one aspect, a system for SIP device-level management includes a SIP service node that makes available to a user the unique device identifier of a SIP device, where the SIP device is one of multiple devices that register using the same SIP identity, and that allows the user to use the unique device identifier to manage calls, sessions, or services on a SIP device-level basis, which may include performing screening, routing, or logging operations. In one embodiment, the SIP service node is configured to receive SIP device-level management rules for managing SIP calls, sessions, or services on a SIP device-level basis and to use the rules to manage calls, sessions, or services on a SIP device-level basis.

  • Publication number: 20050160764
    Abstract: Previously in the art of personal jewelry ornamentation, consumers were limited to ornamenting themselves with three-dimensional precious or imitation metal or gemstones. JOOLZ enables the consumer to display the effect of three-dimensional jewelry with printed images that have been cut, laminated, trimmed, and affixed with appropriate utilitarian jewelry hardware. The technical innovation is the creation of an illusionary image with a printed and laminated design, manifesting its appearance to the viewer as three-dimensional jewelry.
