  • Patent number: 10841415
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method, a computer program product, and a computer system for sharing emergency information associated with a user from a mobile device. A computer system determines a dataset comprising emergency information associated with the user, based on one or more properties of the user and the mobile device of the user and further based on data available on the mobile device of the user. The computer system determines a battery status of the mobile device of the user. The computer system determines a recipient mobile device, responsive to the battery status meeting a predetermined requirement. The computer system communicates the dataset to the recipient mobile device.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10659606
    Abstract: A mechanism for filtering communication including receiving an incoming call from a calling party, the incoming call being directed to a called party. The mechanism further comprises obtaining calling party information comprising a value of at least one descriptive parameter of the calling party and obtaining historical called party information relating to past activities of the called party. One or more call-handling rules are generated based on the historical called party information, each call-handling rule defining how to handle an incoming call based on a descriptive parameter of a calling party. The calling party information is processed according to the one or more call-handling rules to determine how to handle the received incoming call.

  • Publication number: 20200066004
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to improved text focus for head mounted displays (HMDs). Sensor data is received from an eye-tracker of an HMD equipped by a user. A determination whether the user is reading is made. In response to determining that the user is reading, a text area on a display of the HMD is determined. The display of the HMD is then filtered based on the determined text area, where a non-text area of the display is filtered and the text area is not filtered.

  • Publication number: 20070159219
    Abstract: An output stage interface circuit (50) implemented on a P-substrate comprises a first substrate diffusion isolated main NMOS transistor (MN1) coupling a data output terminal (5) to a first rail (2) which is held at ground, and a second main PMOS transistor MP2 coupling the data output terminal (5) to a second rail (3) to which the power supply voltage VDD is applied. First and second data control signals on first and second data control lines (8) and (9) through first and second primary and secondary buffer circuits (11, 14, 12, 15) selectively operate the first main transistor MN1 and the second main transistor MP2 for determining the logic high and low states of the data output terminal (5).

  • Publication number: 20070096780
    Abstract: An output stage interface circuit (1) comprises a main bipolar transistor (Q1) coupling a data output terminal (5) to a first rail (2) to which the positive of the power supply voltage (VDD) is applied, and a substrate diffusion isolated main NMOS transistor (MN1) coupling the data output terminal (5) to a second rail (3) which is held at ground. Control signals from a data control circuit (6) selectively operate the main bipolar transistor (Q1) and the main MOS transistor (MN1) for determining the logic high and low states of the data output terminal (5) during data output.
