  • Patent number: 11159665
    Abstract: An approach is provided that hides a caller's telephone number and instead displays a user friendly string that acts as an alias for the caller's identity. The approach receives, from a caller using a calling device, an incoming call at a receiving device that is the information handling system such as a smart phone. The incoming call includes a set of textual metadata that includes an alias corresponding to caller as well as the caller's telephone number that corresponds to the calling device. The approach then displays, on a display screen accessible from the receiving device, the alias while inhibiting display of the caller telephone number, thus keeping the caller's actual telephone number hidden from the user of the receiving device.

  • Publication number: 20190310622
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus are provided for implementing zonal access rights for drones. The methods and apparatus broadcast zonal access rights from a wireless zonal access (WZA) apparatus in connection with a local environment. The zonal access rights indicate device permissions granted in connection with the local environment for an electronically-controlled mobile (ECM) device. Methods and apparatus are provided that receive a broadcast message at an ECM device, obtain zonal access rights from the broadcast message, determine device permissions granted for the ECM device in connection with a local environment based on the zonal access rights and manage operation of the ECM device relative to the local environment based on the zonal access rights.

  • Patent number: 9977748
    Abstract: Apparatuses, methods, systems, and program products are disclosed for managing storage of digital content. An eligibility module determines one or more content elements that are eligible for compression. A content element is determined to be eligible for compression based on one or more characteristics of the content element. A rate module determines a compression rate for each of the one or more content elements. The compression rate comprises an amount of compression to be applied to a content element. The amount of compression to be applied to the content element is determined as a function of one or more characteristics of the content element. A compression module compresses each of the one or more eligible content elements according to the determined compression rate.

  • Patent number: 9955162
    Abstract: Apparatuses, methods, systems, and program products are disclosed for photo cluster detection and compression. An image module receives a set of images captured using a camera. A subset module determines a subset of the set of images based on a timestamp associated with each image of the set of images. The subset of images includes a plurality of images having a timestamp within a predefined time range. A compression module compresses the subset of images such that the compressed subset of images uses less storage space than the subset of images.

  • Patent number: 9772672
    Abstract: Apparatuses, methods, and program products are disclosed for projecting battery usage. By use of a processor, an expected battery usage rate of an application is determined. An estimated length of time a battery will power an apparatus if the application is executed is determined. The estimated length of time the battery will power the apparatus may be based on the expected battery usage rate of the application and a current remaining battery power. The estimated length of time together with a visual representation of the application is displayed.
