Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for utilizing a sensing charger to monitor input data and to charge a wireless device. Through the monitoring, risks can be identified based on the monitored input data and analysis. The monitored input data and analysis results can be transmitted to an external device such as a sensor monitoring services or a wireless device being charged.

Abstract: A vehicle system includes a display device that simulates a rear-facing mirror (e.g., rearview mirror). The display device displays a first video captured by a first camera to simulate the rear-facing mirror. The system detects a change in an orientation of the display device from a first orientation to a second orientation and, in response, causes the display device to display a second video captured by a second camera to maintain the simulation of the rearview mirror but from the second orientation. Alternatively, the system causes a corresponding change in the perspective of the first video being displayed on the display device thereby maintaining the effect of the rearview mirror.

Abstract: A user-assistant system for threat detection and convenience is disclosed. The system includes a primary device (e.g., handheld mobile device) configured to establish a local network with one or more secondary devices (e.g., wearable device). The primary device can couple the system to a wireless communications network. A first sensor monitors physical activity occurring within a threshold vicinity of a user, and a second sensor can measure a physical property of the user. The system can determine that the physical activity satisfies the first condition and that the measure of the physical property satisfies a second condition within a timeframe of the first condition being satisfied. In response to the first and second conditions being satisfied within the timeframe, the system performs an action configured to assist the user in real-time to interpret and respond to the physical activity in a real-world environment.

Abstract: An electronic device configured to operate in two frequency bands having significantly different coverage areas receives coordinates associated with a smaller coverage area over a frequency band having a larger coverage area. The coordinates allow the electronic device to only power up the associated radio and search for a base station of the smaller coverage area when the electronic device is in the area described by the coordinates. This allows the electronic device to achieve significant power savings compared to even infrequent random polling to determine when a base station of the smaller coverage area radio system is available.

Abstract: A wireless device can initiate a process to establish a communication link between the wireless device and an endpoint device. The wireless device can discover networks that are available for building the communication link and generate a list of multiple routing paths for the communication link that include different combinations of segments of the networks. The wireless device selects a particular routing path for the communication link and communicates a request to service providers of segments that would support the communication link. The service providers can grant the request such that the wireless device connects to the endpoint device over the communication link.

Abstract: This disclosure describes techniques that enable a Radio Frequency (RF) signal controller and optional digital signal translator to use the existing telecommunication infrastructure of a business or residential establishment to deliver wireless communication services to the business or residential establishment. The data signal controller may transceive a first data signal via a first signal interface, determine if/how to process the first data signal to generate a second data signal that is suitable to be transported into the establishment via legacy telecommunications infrastructure.

Abstract: An electronic device configured to operate in two frequency bands having significantly different coverage areas receives coordinates associated with a smaller coverage area over a frequency band having a larger coverage area. The coordinates allow the electronic device to only power up the associated radio and search for a base station of the smaller coverage area when the electronic device is in the area described by the coordinates. This allows the electronic device to achieve significant power savings compared to even infrequent random polling to determine when a base station of the smaller coverage area radio system is available.

Abstract: An enhanced hazard detection device has multiple sensors. A primary sensor continuously monitors for a hazard in a vicinity of the enhanced hazard detection device, and a secondary sensor can detect or measure a physical property in the vicinity of the enhanced hazard detection device. The enhanced hazard detection device can include communications circuitry to wirelessly couple the enhanced hazard detection device to a local network. A power management controller of the enhanced hazard detection device can dynamically manage usable power, where usable power for the secondary sensor and the communications circuitry is conditioned on sufficient usable power being available for the primary sensor. As such, the enhanced hazard detection device can monitor a change in usable power and, if necessary, divert usable power from most of the multiple sensors and/or the communications circuitry to the primary sensor, to maintain uninterrupted hazard detection.
