Abstract: A device may identify a wireless charging device within a threshold proximity to the device. The device may provide information associated with aligning the device and the wireless charging device. The device may determine that the wireless charging connection is enabled with the wireless charging device based on providing information associated with aligning the device and the wireless charging device. The device may determine a charging status associated with the wireless charging connection. The device may provide information identifying the charging status.

Abstract: A system includes a highlighter that is installed in a store to highlight a physical position of an item on display in the store. The system also includes a processor installed in the store to determine a location and identification (ID) of a mobile device, and retrieve a profile of a user of the mobile device based on the ID. The processor controls the highlighter to highlight the item when the location of the mobile device is determined to be within a predetermined distance of the item, and when the item is determined to be of interest to the user of the mobile device based on information obtained in the profile.

Abstract: A mobile device operates in a standard mode of operation, or operates in a visually impaired (VI) mode of operation designed for visually impaired users and in which a display screen of the mobile device is turned off by default. The display screen may thus remain turned off in the VI mode even when conditions under which the display screen is turned on in the standard mode are satisfied. The display screen may further remain turned off in the VI mode even when conditions under which a touch-screen input interface of the mobile device is turned on in either of the standard and VI modes. The mobile device may be configured to automatically transition from the VI mode to the standard mode in response to detecting a gaze directed towards the display screen.
